Takeaway Foods - RANKED!

[@benm431]

To go from ski resort reviews, to gentile gardening videos and finally takeaway tier lists, is there literally nothing this man can't do!

[@RobbieKnox]

Is there anything I can do is probably a better question.

Robbie missing a trick here mate - could’ve expensed every takeaway if you’d had one

[@RobbieKnox]

My accountant expensing every takeaway I’ve ever eaten as we speak.

[@GamToGam]

The Poppadom issue needs to be addressed!!! Same with the prawn crackers, the amount of times you end up with two bags of them as they threw one in for free then you nearly die trying to polish off an extra bag as its the only part of the meal you cant really eat the next day.

[@RobbieKnox]

Yeah, all we’re asking for is some consistency.

Chippies can deffo do traditional fish n chips and Chinese. The fish is fried in the front of the shop the Chinese gear comes from the kitchen in the back. Oil separation is important.

Fair enough. As long as they separate their oil I will allow it.

In my city in Norway we have something very similar to what you described Bobby Chef’s as; polystyrene tray with fried rice and you pick and chose between different fried foods and chips

Great vid. I do wish you had ur faves an did taste brackets for each choice tho give more depth. You still make me smile mr Robbie Knox

Nearby me there’s an Indian Takeaway/Fish and Chip Shop. Never seen anyone in there. I can only imagine the haddock tastes of turmeric and the naans taste of vinegar.

[@RobbieKnox]

Keen to hear what it’s like. I think you need to go to do some research.

[@ManWalksDogs]

Battered chapati is quite a fun combination to say though...😄

[@ash8662]

So happy to see this pop up Robbie. I can escape the stress for 12 mins 03 seconds!! Thank you

[@rorrt]

Yes lad! Indian wins hands down, at a trot. Quality side dishes? CHECK Quality mains? CHECK poppadoms or naan? Go wild! Lets have both! What more could you want? Well, does it do good vegetarian options? Glad you asked. The best! Probably better than the meat options if I'm being honest! One potential weakness is, if you want a fishy option.. Which I never have, but if the mood took me. I haven't got that room to explore. ONE THING I FORGOT ABOUT! Well, is the food typically good the next day? Yes it bloody well is!!! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DIN-DINS!!!

[@RobbieKnox]

I love all this. It’s a fantastic summing up of a nation’s takeaway cuisine.

[@RobbieKnox]

Yeah, sushi is probably my favourite food. Just not sure it counts as a proper takeaway for the purposes of this. Hope you like the air up bottle!

[@sebastianbaynes9452]

Infinite respect for putting Indian way way ahead of Chinese, this is a solid fact and needs to be recognised as such. So much Chinese takeaway food now in the UK is just meat/veg in a vaguely Chinese flavoured gravy, just nothing special to set it apart. Even an average curry really hits the spot, a good one is an experience out of this world. This isn't to dunk on Chinese food generally, it is amazing, but I think in the context of this video (UK takeaway options) you've got it right. I remember seeing a tweet or a video a while back noting the decline of UK Chinese food, possibly something to do with a lot of them having been proper family-run businesses that haven't continued being so - a lot of the children of owners who came to the UK in the latter half of the 20th Century have now grown up and moved on to other careers, and these establishments have been sold to larger corporations that haven't maintained the original ethos. There are almost certainly other factors, and I could be wrong entirely, but it's an interesting trend

[@patmul8929]

Robbie try the Thai laddies on the Norwich market, near the taxi rink side. amazing thai food

[@RobbieKnox]

Interesting. What dish would you recommend?

[@kofishaw4]

Very good list Robbie, very educated when it comes to takeaways

[@SirSpence]

In the kebab section nice to know it really ‘soaks up the food’ Robbie 😂 Think you may have meant alcohol

[@RobbieKnox]

Ha ha. Yeah probably. Although some kebabs are so greasy they do soak up what little nutrition is there.

[@reecepeaty1612]

Robbie’s sponsor ads are the only ones i never skip

[@callumthomas5001]

I was under the impression that you would be tasting each of the takeaways and its fair to say that I'm somewhat dissatisfied. Only somewhat though.

[@jamesfletcher5906]

I used to work for a Thai takeaway in scotland, it was very good.

[@djferris123]

My issue with the Pizza ranking is that in my eyes there are 2 major sub categories of takeaway pizza. There is your standard takeaway pizza like dominoes, Papa johns, and other takeaways with pizza ovens which all tend to be greasey etc but then there are more artisanal pizza places which do wood fired pizza which also tend to have more adventurous toppings compared to standard pizza places

[@RobbieKnox]

Yeah, but there are different quality places in all categories. You can get great gourmet kebabs, or utter filth. I think lumping all pizza into one is fair.

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@RobbieKnox Talking of artisanal elephant legs, have you tried Döner Bei Tante Anne near the Ribs of Beef (great pub on the river to wash it down after, if you weren't already aware of that either)? Vegan kebabs if you can imagine such a thing, served in an authentic German döner style. I've just seen a pic of her potato gyros on her website and want to order again...

The only Thai place I like, is Rosa's there's not many outlets/restaurants but I'd throughly recommend giving them a go. I agree with you though regarding the lacklustre of British Thai experience.

Top drawer content, no arguments with the order here!

[@rcaldwell7255]

My takeaways rated: 1. Indian (no explanation needed, Robbie said it all, although my favourite is definitely a lamb dupiaza, and one tiny criticism would be that the starters are varied enough) 2. Kebab (always get a naan so it's similar to Indian in my opinion) 3. Chinese (Opposite to Indian, starters are incredible like duck and pancakes, spring rolls, salt and pepper chicken, ribs etc., Yet the mains are a bit weaker and I'll always end up with a sweet and sour, chow mein or Chinese chicken curry) 4. Pizza (specifically a dominos/pizza hut place, not a fan of these kebab shops that do pizza on the side) 5. Burgers (if done right they're amazing, but some can be dry and literal shit put on a bun) 6. Fried Chicken (Gotta be in the mood for it, sometimes it can be gristly as anything, but sometimes it's incredible) 7. Thai (only ever had green curry so need to try more) 8. Mexican (never really had it as a takeaway, only home made food) 9. Fish and Chips. (Yes, it's going below something I've never had before. Not really a fan of fish, except salmon, therefore don't like the fish so would normally have a sausage or even a pie. And then I don't really like chips because they're just way too dry many times, even with salt and vinegar.)

[@markdavies5068]

Get gravy or curry sauce on them chips! Sorted

[@rcaldwell7255]

@@markdavies5068 I'll only agree with Chinese curry sauce instead of English, don't like them bits you get in the English. Then it basically becomes a Chinese so it doesn't count. And I am a big fan of gravy but not with chips, makes it too soggy I think. I know, ones too dry and ones too soggy, can't win 😂

[@philjohnston9889]

Indian and Chinese are incredible. My local Chinese does amazing “salted chilli chips” they are god tier and go with anything! But for me the best food in the world is Italian. You have pizza which is perhaps the greatest food in the world and then you have a so so many amazing pasta dishes. I would just finally like to add that people that say kebabs are only good when you are drunk are full of shit! They are amazing when sober as well :) but I agree you need a good quality kebab shop as some are very poor and there is nothing worse than an awful kebab.

[@GabeGreenVlogs]

Italian genuinely is the best cuisine! Technically China invented the earliest form of ice cream but I would still count the modern day equivalent as Italian. And you have wine, disarrono, limoncello etc. Italian is miles beyond everyone

Bought an Air Up with your discount code Robbie, was very excited and it's just turned up. Can't lie, all flavours so far have been flavourless (peach) or rank (cola). I'm genuinely curious at what flavour you think is best? Would like to give it a fair shot before I write it off.

[@RobbieKnox]

I’ve enjoyed the mango & passion fruit one pal. Not tried cola or peach yet. Definitely a flavoured water taste rather than a juice taste.

[@naomismith4933]

Obviously Indian deserves number 1. But I genuinely can’t think of a Mexican that is predominantly takeaway rather than restaurant as per your correct Nando’s logic.

[@RobbieKnox]

Yeah, I was unsure about putting Mexican in. There are a few chains of takeaway only options like those Tortilla places which swung it for me but I agree that there’s a lack of independent takeaway focussed places. I’ll think long and hard about my actions.

Wrong, Robbie. I'd say Kebabs are the best takeaway (i.e. post pub stumbling food), Fish & Chips are the best takeout (nip down to the shop and take home, then go to pub), and Indian is the best sit-down (late night post-pub if no kebabs).
