Amy Moser: Food is delicious but expect to wait for it. Call ahead for takeout to save time.
Peter Paul Payack: Everything is good, but go with the Emperor or Romantic Wrap. Call ahead for take out & they let you skip the line (it's always packed).
Jamie McHale: Interesting vibe, nice healthy veggies sit in and take away

Southern Food Restaurant · 19 tips and reviews
Boston.com: A tiny, mostly takeout soul food spot. Try the fried thigh plate, fried catfish plate, Grandma's mean meatloaf plate, mac and cheese, black-eyed peas, collard greens, and sweet potato pie. Read more.
Jason Tibbetts: Make this a weekly stop for fried catfish, fried chicken, mac+cheese or any of the other deliciousness on the menu!
Quincy Chang: Sure bets are the BBQ beef rib sandwich, anything with fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, and the banana pudding. Don't go here on Sundays-- they're closed for church! Read more.

Tommy Wisdom: They don't waste time on the phone here. I placed a takeout order in 6.2 seconds. I welcome any challengers to take on my record.
Ben Bearnot: This place is growing on me. Good for dining in, good for take out, good for delivery. This place has become a real Cambridge go-to for Thai! Get a Thai iced coffee to go.

Gianna Nebbia: Quality takeout in Somerville
Graham Webster: Take home some frozen pork and leek dumplings to boil up for yourself later. Cheap and hand-made!

Indian Restaurant · Inman Square · 71 tips and reviews
Venkatesh Hodavdekar: Good indian food, but only for take away. This place is too loud and crowded for a sit down meal. Oh and yes, its cash only.
Aric LeDell: Watch out, twice now they forgotten to include naan in my takeout order.
Jake Smith: Everything they cook here is very good. I typically go with the Chicken Saag or Chicken Tikka Masala. Be sure to pick up some naan too!
