Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Takeaway should be fast, cheap enough and easy to order. Six places here, in and around Prahran: four in Prahran, one in South Yarra, one in Windsor. Sushi, sandwiches, dumplings and Vietnamese, each with its listed hours and the prices we could copy.
Each place offers takeaway or pickup on its own site, which we quote, whether or not it also has tables. Where a menu was an image or sat on an ordering site we could not read, we print no price.
Each entry closes with its move.
