a meal bought from a restaurant or store to be eaten somewhere else
Takeaway refers to food that is prepared and packaged for customers to take home or eat elsewhere, rather than being consumed in the same place it was purchased. Takeaway food can include a wide variety of cuisines, from fast food like burgers and pizzas to ethnic dishes like Chinese or Indian cuisine. It provides a convenient option for individuals or families who prefer to enjoy restaurant-quality food in the comfort of their own home or while on the go.
