Sawa
The beautiful outdoor seating at this Merrick Park restaurant offers the perfect atmosphere for al fresco dining, but you can also opt to bring Sawa’s signature fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean dishes home. Start with a piping hot bowl of miso soup or a citrusy tabouli salad, then indulge in sushi rolls, kefta fingers with tahini sauce, hearty moussaka, or filet mignon yakitori.
Details: Sawa is located at 360 San Lorenzo Ave., Coral Gables. To place an order for takeout, call 305-447-6555.
Le Chick
Those craving elevated comfort foods like street corn with manchego cheese and truffle aioli, BBQ baby back ribs with spiced sweet potato fries, lobster mac and cheese in housemade lobster cream, and, of course, crispy buttermilk fried chicken can order plenty of dishes that hit the spot for takeout by calling the restaurant directly.
Details: Le Chick is located at 310 NW 24th St., Miami. To place an order for takeout, call 786-216-7086.
Atchana’s Homegrown Thai
For authentic Thai dishes prepared with locally grown herbs and spices, this Coconut Grove spot is a favorite among foodies. Standouts from their lunch and dinner menus include Bangkok wings served three ways, refreshing summer rolls stuffed with fresh basil and shrimp, and all kinds of tasty curry.
Details: Atchana’s Homegrown Thai is located at 3194 Commodore Plaza, Coconut Grove. To place an order for takeout, call 305-774-0404.
Tutto Pizza
When you’re hungry, few things hit the spot like a delicious slice of pizza — and the pies at Tutto are perfect. Chef Juca (the man behind Tutto Pasta, just next door) serves up what Zagat dubbed “the best pizza in town,” made with fresh, locally sourced herbs and vegetables, and meats, cheeses and oils from Italy. The pizza dough is homemade and allowed 24 hours to rise in order for a light consistency. Pizza isn’t the only thing you can order from Tutto, though; the paninis, salads, desserts, and even burgers are incredible.
Details: Tutto Pizza is located at 1763 SW 3rd Ave, Miami. To place an order for takeout, call 305-858-0909.
Doce Provisions
Nestled in the heart of Little Havana, Doce Provisions has earned a reputation for serving up mouthwatering global fusion cuisine — including the “best croquetas in Miami,” a title they won at Burger Beast’s Croquetapalooza. Order those, as well as some vaca Frita tostones, lechon asado buns, Doce’s pad Thai, and their legendary Disco Fries for takeout.
Details: Doce Provisions is located at 541 SW 12th Ave, Miami. To place an order for takeout, call 786-452-0161.
Akash Miami Beach
Akash serves some mindblowing Indian food, and they’re offering all their best dishes for takeout. We love their vegetable samosas, served crispy with a dash of spice, their Amritsari fish, marinated with ginger, yogurt and garlic paste, and their dal soup, but anything from the menu is a tasty bet.
Details: Akash Miami Beach is located at 1435 Alton Rd, Miami Beach. To place an order for takeout, call 305-397-8846.
