Correction (9 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 on 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Six places for a meal in a bag, five in St Kilda and one in Balaclava. The mix runs from Greek wraps and Indian curries to Sri Lankan hoppers, Neapolitan pizza, Mexican dinners and a proper chippy.
Every price on this page was copied from the venue’s own page and sits next to the item it belongs to. Where a place prints no price we copied, the table says so and we do not guess.
Menus move and some pages carry no date, so treat the numbers as a snapshot and check before you order.
