Zareen’s authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine took Mountain View by storm in 2014—so much so that the brand has opened two more locations (Redwood City and Palo Alto) since. Now, diners can savor a cheeky tandoori burger, comforting chicken tikka masala and lamb stew paired with basmati rice, daal lentils and a pickled salad. Order your favorite flavor explosion directly from the eatery’s website.
518 Bryant St., Palo Alto / Website
Experience Ettan’s lauded California-Indian at home, from delectable small plates (slow-cooked octopus with coconut crumble and curry leaf, Kerala fried chicken) to nourishing large plates—think Kabocha mango curry, creamy butter chicken and melt-in-your-mouth lamb chops—all available to-go on its website.

Each item at Dishdash is crafted with the latest culinary trends top of mind and with the freshest ingredients available. A few of our faves? Try the cumin lentil soup, fresh-made falafel and a variety of mouthwatering grilled meats (chicken, minced beef, lamb) paired with basmati rice or spiced potatoes and seasonal veggies. To-go options are available on the website, while DoorDash and Uber Eats will deliver your meal directly to you.
1219 Wildwood Ave., Sunnyvale / Website
Everyone loves Chinese takeout! Sifu Wong Kitchen is famous for its Cantonese dim sum, sumptuous Peking duck and salted egg yolk buns. We recommend something from the chef’s specialties section, including a royal clam stir fry with sweet peas, sea bass belly hot pot and braised ox tail in a red wine sauce.
1320 Saratoga Ave., San Jose / Website
San Jose’s west side has hosted Zeni’s authentic Ethiopian cuisine for the last 20 years. Try the goden tibs, beef chuck short ribs sauteed in butter and served with onions, green pepper and rosemary, or the veggie combo with red lentils, yellow split peas and collard greens. All entrees are served with fresh-baked injera and are available for delivery via DoorDash and Caviar.
2022 Broadway, Redwood City / Website
Wood-fired pizzas and small plates are the name of the game at Vesta. The pizza menu is divided into red sauce and white sauce, while the small plates feature various meatballs alongside grilled pears, zucchini cakes and mushroom toast. The spicy sausage and honey pizza with tomato sauce is a fan favorite, but the prosciutto and pineapple pie also stuns. Order pickup and delivery (including wine and beer) directly on the site.
546 University Ave., Palo Alto / Website
Tamarine’s modern Vietnamese cuisine is inspired by neighboring Southeastern Asian countries, including China, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. The famed menu includes such items as Shaking Beef, cubed filet mignon seared with soy, garlic and onions, and the cod clay pot, Alaskan black cod caramelized in onion, garlic, black pepper and molasses—all available to-go via Tamarine’s website.
2967 Woodside Road, Woodside / Website
Fancy a Michelin-rated meal in the comfort of your home? The Village Pub can help make it happen. Order on its website for yummy starters like the sunchoke veloute and butternut squash pavé, plus decadent entrees like the Sea of Cortez striped bass and honey- and pistachio-glazed duck breast. Luxe additions include bumps of caviar with toasted brioche and other sides, plus bottles of wine.
