The city’s range of foods available for takeout and delivery has never been better. Restaurants that weren’t delivering before the pandemic started doing so as a means to survive. Some three years later, many have stuck around, while newer spots have incorporated takeout and delivery into their repertoire, exporting Taiwanese dumplings, California burritos, and other durable foods across the five boroughs.

Offering takeout and delivery is still a necessity for many businesses recovering from the pandemic. Tip your courier at least $5, and place an order over the phone or through a restaurant’s website, as opposed to a third-party delivery app, when possible.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Filipino restaurant Bilao was started in 2020 by frontline nurses who wanted a restaurant with all-day breakfast near the Upper East Side hospital where they worked. Some two years later, the restaurant continues to serve comforting dishes like porridge with tripe or chicken adobo to those in the area. Available for takeout and delivery.

Yumpling

Taiwanese dumpling shop Yumpling found a following as a stand at the Long Island City flea market, before expanding with a food truck that darted around Manhattan. Now as a storefront in Queens, the restaurant’s menu has grown to include fried pork chops, beef noodle soup, bubble tea, and, of course, dumplings available for takeout and delivery.

Taco Mahal

This Greenwich Village restaurant is known for its Indian dishes served in the style of tacos. In lieu of a corn tortilla, find roti or naan folded in half and filled with chicken curry or one of several vegetarian-friendly options like saag paneer or chana masala. There’s an additional location in Hell’s Kitchen. Both are open for delivery and takeout.

This narrow Sichuan restaurant sticks to a small menu to offer the best possible renditions. All served with tongue-tickling spice and priced at $15 and under, the menu includes string bean salad, spicy wontons, mapo tofu, noodle soup, and eggplant with chile-garlic sauce. Call the restaurant directly for takeout, or place an order for delivery online

Electric Burrito

Copy Link

This East Village restaurant’s burritos deliver surprisingly well, thanks to its superior flour tortillas. The California burrito (characterized by its french fries) with carne asada is best, but the breakfast burrito (called a “lunch burrito” on the menu) will do the trick, too. It comes with eggs, bacon, cheese, beans, and fries for around $13. Takeout and delivery are available online.

Peeps Kitchen

Korean fried chicken, done well, should still have some crunch to it after a few minutes in a takeout box — and the containers of boneless fried bird at Peeps never disappoint. This Greenpoint restaurant has no indoor seating, so count on a well-oiled takeout and delivery operation slinging orders of fried wings and glazed gangjeong chicken. Place orders for pickup online or over the phone to avoid a wait outside the shop.

Win Son Bakery

Copy Link

This Taiwanese American bakery, an offshoot of Win Son across the street, was among the first sit-down restaurants in the borough to pivot to takeout and delivery during the pandemic. Three years later, its scallion pancake breakfast sandwiches, millet mochi doughnuts, and other baked goods still hold up surprisingly well.

Mama Yoshi Mini Mart

Copy Link

What started as a pop-up has since blossomed into a counter-service restaurant serving Japanese American food in Ridgewood. Mama Yoshi Mini Mart has a few stools if you want to dine in, but the restaurant was built for takeout service, with both handheld katsu chicken or cauliflower sandwiches and a variety of konbini-style snacks to take home. The restaurant offers pick-up and local delivery.

Pecking House

Park Slope’s Pecking House started as a delivery business in Queens, and its fried chicken is engineered to stay crispy after traveling in a takeout container — or spending a night in the fridge. Be sure to try the famed chile fried chicken, along with the vegan sloppy ’po (mapo sandwich), stacked with thin layers of chile tofu skin. Available for takeout and delivery.

Brooklyn Suya

Nigerian-style suya bowls heat up the regular lunch rut at this Crown Heights fixture. Pick your protein — chicken, shrimp, salmon, eggplant, or tofu — then add toppings like plantains or eggs that are served over a base of rice or kale. Finish customizing the bowl with your choice of heat level. Delivery and takeout are available.

Sandwich Girl Cafe

Burritos are the thing to order at this small cafe with a few indoor seats in Park Slope. The breakfast burrito is made with eggs, home fries, and avocado, with the option to add a handful of breakfast meats for an additional charge, while its Egyptian salad burrito comes stuffed with tzatziki, tahini, feta cheese, and torpedos of kofta. Both, plus excellent chopped cheese sandwiches, are available for takeout and delivery.

Syrian and Korean flavors are the name of the game at Syko, easily one of the city’s most exciting takeout restaurants over the past year. There’s no indoor seating, but its excellent stuffed grape leaves, chicken shawarma, banchan, and signature “fat boy” sandwiches (a Korean-style pancake stuffed with bulgogi and wrapped like a burrito) are all available for takeout and delivery.
