Top 5 Delivery Restaurants in Minneapolis

Living in Minneapolis means plenty of delivery food choices, some say because the harsh winters force many residents to remain indoors. This urban oasis in the Midwest is home to a surprising amount of culinary options due to the cultural diversity within the city. But let’s face it, this is the Midwest-where comfort food and large portion sizes remain the order of the day.

5. Sawatdee
607 Washington Ave S
Minneapolis, MN 55415
(612) 338-6451

The Twin Cities’ first Thai restaurant’s slogan is: “Just Thai it – you’ll Like it!” And because of Sawatdee’s 5 Pepper Scale, you can customize the spiciness of your dishes exactly to your specifications. The food here is flavorful, reasonably priced and comes in hearty amounts. Perfect for take-out! Sawatdee is at it’s best with starters such as fresh spring rolls stuffed with shrimp and barbecued pork. I must recommend the Rama Thai Delight, a silken peanut curry sauce laden with over-sized shrimp over steamed spinach and rice.

4. D’Amico’s & Sons
2210 Hennepin Ave
Minneapolis, MN 55405
(612) 374-1858
http://www.damicoandsons.com

Known to regulars as simply “D’Amicos”, this restaurant offers a large selection of fresh, practical and tasty salads, sandwiches, pizzas and pastas. Award-winning chefs Richard and Larry D’Amico of D’Amico Cucina founded this informal deli-cafÃ?© serving up liberally sized Italian-style selections. Plus, D’Amicos bakes its own crusty breads and amazing pastries. Please try the chicken-penne pasta and the artichoke pizza, covered with feta cheese, dried tomatoes and kalamata olives.

3. Bombay Bistro
820 Marquette Ave
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 312-2800
http://www.bombaybistromn.com/

Located in downtown Minneapolis, this restaurant always has a line of hungry office-workers around it by noon on weekdays due to its all-you-can-eat buffet. Featuring Northern Indian cuisine covering all your basic wants, this place has remained very word of mouth, and has achieved success on that basis. Bombay Bistro is also extremely popular with the local Indian populace due to its world-class authentic food at affordable prices. You will thank yourself for finding such irresistibly fluffy naan bread and full-bodied curries to die for.

2. Loring Grill
1614 Harmon Place
Minneapolis, MN 55403
(612) 339-6700
http:///www.loringgrill.com

Featuring a free dinner delivery and gourmet box lunches. The Loring Grill is an elegant option for true food connoisseurs. This restaurant is known for its focused and seasonal American menu with appetizers and salads specially designed to interconnect with their delectable entrees. With its ever-changing menu, there’s no need to fear making new food choices here because you know the results will be wonderful. Right now, I recommend sampling their seared duck breast with raspberry-thyme vinaigrette-yum!

1. Pizza Luce
3200 Lyndale Ave S
Minneapolis, MN 55408
(612) 827-5978
http://www.pizzaluce.com

This Uptown-based pizza place is ranked number one because of its classic pizza, pasta, salad and hoagie offerings with an East Village sensibility. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian options available and their pizza selections are simply spectacular. I might add that Pizza Luce’s generously sized garlic cheese toast is a true garlic-lover’s delight! Get the Shrimp Al Pesto pizza, including plump shrimp and homemade basil pesto on bianca sauce with mozzarella and you won’t be disappointed. If you’re a fan of Southwestern food, get the Santa Fe pizza covered with black beans, fresh cilantro, picante, black olives, red onions, tomatoes, cheddar and mozzarella.
