These are our picks of the five best takeaways in Camden.
Best Italian Takeaways
Pasta Evangelists
Being able to tuck into restaurant-quality food at your place is very important to us — especially when it comes to Italian cuisine. That’s why we only use ingredients of the highest calibre in our dedicated takeaway menu.
Delivering authentic pasta dishes straight from our kitchens to your doorstep in as little as 15 minutes, you can find yourself tucked up on the sofa with a restaurant-quality bowl of perfection — sorry, we meant pasta.
Fancy some soft sheets of lasagne, bathed in a luxuriously rich tomato sauce and smooth béchamel, and slow-braised beef pieces so tender they practically shred themselves? Then you sample our beef shin ragù lasagne. Or you could opt for our creamy carbonara of dreams, angry vodka tomato sauce pasta, or any one of our tasty pasta dishes.
Alternatively, if you want to cook up a storm in the kitchen then check out our bespoke pasta kits, available for next-day delivery in and around Camden. Offering a vast selection of recipes, each of these handy kits comes with everything you need to prepare perfect pasta, with fresh local ingredients, delectable sauces, and an array of accompaniments.
Forget your average weeknight meal - this is a true taste of Italy, ready to be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home.
Purezza Camden
While we adore pasta, pizza is also one of our Italian go-tos. If you are looking for a hand-crafted, vegan, sourdough pizza that uses fresh dough daily and the finest of ingredients on every base, then you need to check out Purezza Camden.
Being just a stone’s throw away from the bustling Camden Market and Regent’s Canal, Purezza offers the UK’s finest vegan pizzas and delivers via Deliveroo.
This hidden gem offers a scrumptious selection of pizzas and small plates. Their menu boasts classics like the black truffle and wild mushroom pizza, but adventurous eaters rave about the BBQ bourbon option. Don't miss out on their decadent tiramisu – it's so good, you might just start planning your Roman holiday after one bite!
Best Indian Takeaways
Naamaste Kitchen
Offering a taste of India from the comfort of your own living room, Naamaste Kitchen has been ranked by The Evening Standard and The Telegraph as one of the best food spots (and takeaways) in the capital.
Namaaste Kitchen has dishes that cater for everyone, particularly excelling at vegetarian and vegan dishes. Dive into their flavourful classics like the jackfruit and mushroom biryani, a hearty and satisfying option. Feeling adventurous? Try the Ananas Tofu Shashlik, a unique dish bursting with textures and tastes.
There are also plenty of options for any meat-lovers. From tandoori delights and biryanis to regional meat curries and desserts. How does samosa chaat and Karol Bagh butter chicken sound? We’ll take two please.
Best West African Takeaway
Moi Moi Island
Found in the heart of Camden, Moi Moi Island serves up some of the best suya plates in London. Suya is a sizzling West African street food, often made using skewered beef, ram or chicken, and marinated in a unique blend of spices.
Dishing up the finest West African cuisine, Moi Moi Island specialise in creating spicy, charred and thinly sliced suya sirloin steak with a serving of plantain, jollof rice, ewa agoyin and pepper sauce, and salad.
Its bite-sized bowls are perfect for savouring by the Camden Lock canal or delivered straight to your door via Deliveroo or Uber Eats. Pair your bowl with a melt-in-your-mouth oxtail or our fiery buffalo peppa wings for a flavour explosion that won't leave you disappointed
Best Korean Takeaway
Bunsik
You may have heard of Bunsik from Tiktok. This Korean takeaway spot was trending for months, and for good reason too. Occupying a prime spot on Camden High Street and known for its infamous cheese pull, the street food restaurant is notorious for its iconic Korean-style corn dog and its array of trendy Asian snacks.
Their star item is the corn dog, a hot dog coated in a thick batter and deep-fried until golden. There are eight different styles to choose from including mozzarella and potato, beef, and even an octo-leg corn dog.
Bunsik doesn’t stop there. Their crispy Korean fried chicken is legendary – juicy, tender, and guaranteed to disappear faster than you can say "kimchi." Not a fan of fried food? No worries! Dive into their savoury and spicy chicken katsu curry bap, a perfect balance of flavour and texture. Wash it all down with a classic milk tea for a truly satisfying Korean feast.
The lines for these street food snacks are often long, so skip the line and order all your favourites via Deliveroo, straight to your sofa in just a few taps.
