Los Angeles restaurants have adjusted to the new normal as various establishments are now offering takeout and delivery services so their customers can enjoy their food in a convenient way. Although several restaurants have reopened their doors for dining in and are now requiring proof of vaccination to enter, people are still choosing to order takeout since it’s a safer way to enjoy good food. Not only that, but some restaurants have also added shareable meals to their menu, making it easy for people to whip up an impromptu celebration at home. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, having a quiet night with friends, or simply treating your loved ones to a special dinner, ordering shareable meals enables you to have a fuss-free and enjoyable family-style meal. Check out these restaurants for the best shareable takeout in LA.
