Walthamstow is a takeaway haven tucked away at the end of the Victoria line. Its culinary credentials shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone — after all, it’s been home to the longest street market in Europe since 1885, where you can find all things foodie from Caribbean curried goat to good old-fashioned pie and mash. In fact, when it comes to door-delivered dinners, Walthamstow really is second to none.
This was a tough one, but we’ve done our best to narrow down the abundance of options and provide you with our 5 top picks for Walthamstow takeaways. Enjoy.

Papi’s Munchies Pizza
One kitchen can only do so much. While our kitchens create the best pasta in Walthamstow, Papi’s kitchens are doing a fantastic job at whipping up the best pizza. Established right at the start of the pandemic, there’s a reason why Papi’s Munchies survived months of lockdown. Their 48-hour proved sourdough bases combined with an innovative array of toppings are a true pleasure for the tastebuds.
If you’re after a well-tried classic, their Margherita is sure to impress — served with fresh basil and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. Or, if you’re someone who is intrigued by novelty flavour combinations, their Epping Forest pizza topped with grilled courgette, green chillies, gremolata and caramelised red onions will be right up your street.
We’ve got to give it to Papi’s for their commitment to keeping pizza Italian, importing their mozzarella from Napoli and their San Marzano tomato sauce from Salerno. Be sure to peruse their menu when you’re browsing the apps for takeaway pizza.
Best Korean Takeaway
Zaxx
If you’re into sharing plates, or have been known to opt for a ‘picky bits’ dinner, Zaxx might just be the takeaway option you’ve been missing in your life.
Known for their vast selection of Korean fried chicken, including the intriguing sounding ‘Korean death wings’, Zaxx is the perfect place to order from if you’re searching for a spicy meal you can get stuck into. Their seaweed furikake fries and array of Korean-style side dishes make Zaxx a great option for sharing. Plus, we have to mention their salted caramel apple gyoza served with a mini-pot of Mackie’s Scottish ice cream — if that’s not got you intrigued by Zaxx we don’t know what will.
Best Caribbean Takeaway
Rhythm Kitchen
Let’s face it, when it comes to Caribbean food in London, you’re spoilt for choice. Walthamstow’s Rhythm Kitchen stands out, serving up authentic Caribbean food with a modern twist.
Their speciality jerk seasoning and marinades ensure that each dish delights the senses. While their saltfish fritters are a firm favourite among their regulars, the feast platters are our top pick on the menu — they make ordering for a group easier than ever. Plus, they have a great selection of vegan dishes, including their Trinidanian chickpea-and-potato curry and inventive plantain lasagne. Whether it's UberEats, Deliveroo or Just Eat, Rhythm Kitchen is ready and waiting to spice up your midweek takeaway.
Best Vegan Takeaway
Vegan Tiffin
Vegans know first-hand that when it comes to cuisines that cater to their requirements, Indian food comes out on top. Vegan Tiffin is a plant-based paradise boasting an array of Indian-inspired tiffin boxes, perfect if you’re craving a takeaway that makes you (and your tastebuds) feel good.
This place really does it all, from vegan tikka shashlik marinated with their speciality tandoori sauce, to not just one but twelve vegan paneer curries to choose from. Served (for the most part) in delightfully convenient tiffin boxes that are perfect for restaurant-to-door service, Walthamstow vegans really are spoilt for choice with Vegan Tiffin.
