I always describe Los Angeles as a city that likes it’s sleep. Bars close at 2 am, people go out in public in their pajamas and most people’s days don’t stay til 10 am. So why not have an abundance of delivery eateries? All we have to do is pick up a phone! Here are a bunch of great ones for every neighborhood in LA, every craving and every diet out there:
Natalee Thai
Order the Siam Spring Rolls to start (imported straight from Southeast Asia), some spicy Beef Panang for the second course, and you can’t go wrong with Pad Thai. (For an extra $1, they’ll do all white-meat chicken). Wash it down with their Thai Iced Tea! 998 S Robertson Blvd.; 310.855.9380
Star of India
Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka, some Aloo Paratha, and you’re good to go for dinner and lunch the next day! 7212 Melrose Ave.; 323.939.6815
Asakuma
This is the freshest sushi delivery and it’s free if you spend $25 (you will easily). Plus, they’ll make any roll with brown rice for the health conscious. 141 S Robertson Blvd.; 310.659.1092
Urth Caffé
This Los Angeles staple has had many of our first dates, lunch meetings, or friend catch-ups, but did you know they deliver? This healthy option is perfect for when you’re feel like being a bum and watching the belly-bulge. 267 S Beverly Dr.; 310.205.9311
Baby Blues BBQ
You’ll have to provide your own music or football when you order delivery, but that Tri-Tip Sandwich, cornbread, and variety of sauces will taste great anywhere! 7953 Santa Monica Blvd.; 323.656.1277
Jerry’s Famous Deli
That Matzo Ball soup has cured colds and the German Chocolate Cake will cure everything else! The Turkey Reuben with extra Thousand Island on the side is another must. There’s really something for everyone on the endless menu. 8701 Beverly Blvd.; 310.289.1811
Agra Cafe
The Curry Lunch Special here is only $8, and includes rice, Naan bread, Raita, a cauliflower side dish, and a mystery/delicious sauce. For dinner, try the Veggie Samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Lamb Korma. The delivery is fast and you can choose your spice level. 4325 W Sunset Blvd.; 323.665.7818
Jones
Get their amazing pizza and hearty chopped salad delivered to your door! 7205 Santa Monica Blvd.; 323.850.1726

Home
Home has easy online ordering for their savory faves like waffle fries, red-velvet pancakes, and mac and cheese. 1760 Hillhurst Ave.; 323.669.0211

Soi. 7
This Thai and Asian-fusion cuisine is on speed dial for downtown dwellers who like spice. The Basil Chicken and Pad Thai are must orders. 518 W 7th St.; 213.537.0333
Ninjin
order up the Jumbo Volcano roll (baked spicy tuna, avocado, and crab) and see it will arrive in flawless form! For those who aren’t raw fish fans, try the Pork Katsu and the Chicken Teriyaki. 607 Colorado Ave.; 310.451.9800
Thai Dishes
Order the Eggplant Tofu and the Green Curry Fried Rice with shrimp. This Broadway spot is affordable…so get both! 123 Broadway; 310.394.6189
Rosti Tuscan Kitchen
Order a little Linguini in Spicy Pink Sauce with Blackened Chicken to go with your bottle of 2 buck chuck and your worn-in sweats. Sounds like perfect night in. 931 Montana Ave.; 310.393.3236
Zelda’s Corner
Grab the “Mr. Electric” Panini, that has turkey, crispy prosciutto, avocado, provolone, pickled jalapeno, organic baby greens, and sliced fresh tomatoes on a French baguette. Also great, the Clam Chowder and mini donuts. 9 Westminster Ave.; 310.314.6458
Abbot’s Pizza Company
Each pie is crafted on a bagel crust and it’s so popular you’ll definitely want to order long before you’re hungry! There are a lot of unique options, like the Salad Pizza with onion, basil, chopped mixed greens, feta, and avocado with a sour cream and lemon dressing base. 1407 Abbot Kinney Blvd.; 310.396.7334
Taiko
This Brentwood sushi spot was the first to intro soba and udon noodles to Los Angeles. And yes, they deliver! 11677 San Vicente Blvd.; 310.207.7782
Amici
Fine-dining straight to your door is one of those indulgences you have to do. With plates like risotto with shrimp, saffron and fresh baby artichokes; and hearts of palm salad with shaved Parmesan and walnuts, everyone deserves a night in their PJ’s eating five star! 2538 San Vicente Blvd.; 310.260.4900
Chin Chin
The Mango Iced Tea is unbeatable and the Steamed Dumplings with chicken are scrumptious (ask for extra apricot dipping sauce). For your main dish, order the Kung Pao Chicken, and instead of peanuts, try cashews. 11740 San Vicente Blvd., #201; 310.826.2525
