An on-the-go lunch doesn’t always mean something small or rushed — sometimes you just need something you can take back to your desk or enjoy outside when there’s no time for a sit‑down meal. A takeaway option can still be hearty and satisfying, and we’ve rounded up choices that deliver exactly that, from fresh poké bowls and fluffy Korean toasties to juicy steak quesadillas and cheesy pies.
Pie Rolla's | 2 Commerce Street
Pie Rolla's brings a delicious lineup of hand-crafted pies wrapped in golden, buttery pastry. Standouts like the classic Steak, Stout & Cheese or the rich Brisket with Jalapeño & American Cheese are must‑tries, and you can round out your meal with comforting sides like velvety mashed potatoes or hearty pork gravy.
Hi Toastie | The Strand Arcade
Hi Toastie is the place to be for fluffy toasties and specialty drinks with an Asian twist! Their menu features next level combinations like bulgogi with cabbage and fried egg, or Kaya Toast with butter and a poached egg on the side. Try their Dubai Chewy Chocolate Cookie Dream drink, inspired by the viral Korean dessert - it tastes as good as it sounds!
Yeah Bowl Poke Shop | Atrium on Takutai Britomart
Yeah Bowl’s poké makes an ideal grab‑and‑go lunch, offering plenty of flavour without slowing you down. You can choose from their premade combinations like the O.G Salmon, Beefy Boy or Tuna Loha, or customise your own with fresh proteins, tangy sauces and crispy toppings.
Tacotearoa | 11 Elliott Street
Situated on Elliot Street and serving up bold Mexican bites, Tacotearoa is the perfect mid-week lunch spot. From juicy steak quesadillas and hearty chicken burrito bowls to slow-cooked beef brisket nachos and birria tacos, every plate is packed with punch.
Dosa Corner | 57 Lorne Street
Whether you're a dosa devotee or new to try these delicious savoury crepes, you're in for a treat. From butter masala to cheese chili schezwan and paneer, there are plenty of flavours to choose from. Besides dosa, they also serve authentic street food dishes including savoury rice cakes, rice meals, noodle dishes and snacks like Vada (deep fried doughnut).
