Best takeaway joints in Sydney’s Inner West
In the spirit of preventing the further spread of the COVID-19 virus, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced a shutdown with stronger restrictions in Australia.
The intention of the shutdown is to reinforce the practice of social distancing. This means that all establishments save for the essential ones will be closed. Restaurants, pubs, and food courts will only be able to serve customers via takeaway or delivery.
As such, we’ve put together a list of joints that you can call if you need takeaway food.
