The COVID-19 outbreak has forced everybody to stay inside their homes. But do you know what’s the best part of this self-quarantine period? Getting to tuck in to a feast with your favorite Netflix binge.
This outbreak might have shut down some of our favorite places; there are a few take-away restaurants in Waterloo that have definitely stood up against all the odds. They have ensured that we do not miss our favorite Chinese or shawarmas even during this pandemic. While the government has given a green signal to the take-away services in the restaurants, we may not want to step out knowing the pandemic is still upon us. Until you feel safe again, you can fulfill your culinary needs from this list. This list rounds up around 10 best takeaway restaurants in Waterloo who can serve you a fresh-hot meal.
Shawarma Plus
If you’re jonesing for some shawarma or wrap which doesn’t burn a hole in the pocket and also satisfies your taste buds, you’ll love Shawarma Plus. It’s a both dine-in and delivery kitchen that offers Falafel Wrap to die for (flavorful, without being over-spicy) and Micho Nachos (fried pita chips with Shawarma and salad), and Poutine as the perfect accompaniments. This is one of the rarest places that gets the best mutton and chicken preparations, so that might be worth an order.
Price Range: $15- $35
Address: 160 University Ave W, Waterloo, ON N2L 3E9.
Shinwa Asian Cuisine
There are many things that we miss about being able to roam freely, and some yummy, spicy Asian cuisine is pretty high up there. We all are craving the ultimate authentic Asian cuisine food, but while a dine-out might not be on the cards for a while, I like that Shinwa brings that home. There is a wide variety selection to choose from. Trust me, when I say you can’t go wrong with Manchurian Chow Mein, Shinwa Fried Rice and the spicy Chili Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables.
