If you’re looking for something other than leftover Christmas dinner to enjoy on Boxing Day and don’t quite fancy rustling up something yourself, then a takeaway is just the ticket.
After a full day of cooking, eating and cleaning up on Christmas Day, there’s nothing like getting out on Boxing Day morning for a refreshing walk, to then slouch on the couch for the rest of the day watching festive movies.
But where is open? And which takeaway should you order from?
I’ve rounded up some of the Food and Drink Team’s favourites to make life easier for you. Enjoy!
Mandarin Garden
In the mood for Chinese cuisine? Then Mandarin Garden is worth checking out.
Specialising in a Peking, Cantonese and Szechuan offering, this restaurant on South Tay Street offers an authentic taste of the East.
The family run business serves up all your classic favourites to their recommended specials, meaning there is plenty to choose from and try.
Why not pick something different to your usual order?
Address: 40-44 South Tay Street, Dundee DD1 1PF

Khan Tandoori
This takeaway offers up a wide variety of dishes for hungry customers to enjoy.
From pizzas to curries, to burgers, calzones, kebabs and more, Khan Tandoori is a great place if you’re not entirely sure what you fancy and are looking for plenty of inspiration.
Offering munchie boxes (boxes packed with a selection of food), too, if you’re really undecided then it is worth giving one of them a go.

Andreou’s
For a fix of gyros, souvlaki or Greek-inspired burgers, Andreou’s is a safe bet.
The sister business of Andreou’s Bistro in Arbroath, the Nethergate taverna serves up a similar Greek and Middle Eastern offering inspired by Cyprus.
It even has a Boxing Day offer, kids under 12 eat free in the restaurant and you get 10% off your bill if you collect your order from either of the venues.
Address: 118 Nethergate, Dundee DD1 4EH

Bombay Joe’s
Serving up Punjabi cuisine since 1999, Bombay Joe’s has become a Broughty Ferry and Dundee staple.
With a wide range of dishes, agra taj, golmaal, nashidar and vindaloo to mention a few, there’s plenty of choice. You can even finish the meal with a Nutella naan!
Last year, the restaurant won the Scottish Curry Award for Best in Dundee. Why not put it to the test and see if you agree?
Bombay Joe’s delivers throughout Dundee and the outlying areas.
