Take Away
Take away food is that which you can have packed in a hygienic bag/box/carton to take away from the dining establishment. Some restaurants are strictly take-away only, while others offer a dine-in service as well.
Take Away meals tend to be cheaper than dine-in meals and are great if you like to eat on the beach or in a park.
