I am ALWAYS hungry here. We ate dinner about 2 hours ago, and I'm starving again already. And no, it wasn't Chinese food, either.
There are a variety of restaurants that deliver here. Actually, there's very little 'variety' in the selection, but there ARE a lot of them. Indian, Chinese, Thai and pizza seem to be the choices. There's some variance in each genre (Goan Indian versus, um, regular Indian, I guess), but those are pretty much the choices. So far, we've had at least one of each, which verying success.
Most of the food we've had delivered has ranged from 'not bad' to 'really pretty good', but we had just the worst Chinese the other night. OK, I probably should have known to steer clear of a place called 'McChina'. (Seriously. I couldn't make this stuff up). But I was taken in by a nice looking menu and promises of the 'freshest ingredients carefully prepared in traditional ways'.
Rubbish. It took nearly 2 hours to arrive, and, although it was hot, it was largely tasteless. I thres most of mine away. Offsetting this unpleasant experience, though, is a great pizza joint that serves interesting pizza (my fave is the gorgonzola and tomato), and it arrives pretty quickly. But get this - you can have them deliver beer! (Seriously. Did I mention I couldn't make this stuff up?)
So now we probably order out 1-2 times a week, and have sampled a variety of places in the area. Best of all: not a single one of them is Domino's.
