Here are some mini-reviews of restaurants around Greenwich I like to order delivery from.

Be sure to add your favorites in the comments, even if it’s not in Greenwich proper.

1. Sushi

Kira Sushi II menu – Directions
4 Lewis Ct
Greenwich, CT 06830
(203) 422-2990

Kira Sushi is my kind of sushi bar – small, unpretentious, good service, great sushi. I am not a fan of their Robata or other non-sushi dishes, but their sushi is great. A couple of my favorites include a Spicy Tuna Hand Roll (not technically on the menu but any sushi place will make one for you – try scallops instead of tuna also), their White Tuna albacore and yellowtail nigiri are also very good. I can never remember their specialty rolls by name by they are all good.

As for on-site dining, although its popular we never wait for a table there, and the dining room is cozy and service prompt and excellent, with both tables and sushi bar.

2. Italian/Pizza

Arcuri’s Pizza & Salads menu – directions
226 E Putnam Ave
Cos Cob, CT 06807
(203) 869-6999

Arcuri’s has a very extensive menu of pizza and Italian fare are good prices, and their delivery is super-fast. I know this because I order from them all the time. However, nothing on their menu really stands out for me, except their specialty ‘Bullet Pizza’, which is great – but everything else is good too. They do a nice steak bomb also (make sure you ask if you want mushrooms and/or mayonnaise), and my wife likes the gorgonzola salad.

Arcuri’s is not really a sit-down place, with just a couple of cramped tables.

3. Thai

Little Thai Kitchen menu - directions
21 Saint Roch Ave
Greenwich, CT
(203) 622-2972‎

Little Thai Kitchen is a Thai restaurant which, which, like Kira Sushi, covers all the bases of their cuisine well. My favorite Thai dish is drunken noodles with beef, but their yellow curry chicken is a favorite in our house as well (order extra white rice though – they don’t pack much). Make sure you get some shrimp summer rolls and Tom Ka Gai soup for appetizers.

The one downside of LTK is that their delivery is VERY slow – however, some of this is due to the fact that my house is a little hard to find and on the opposite side of town from them.

As for onsite dining, it should really be called ‘Little Thai Dining Room’ – it is lilliputian inside, although clean and cozy. Service is good. Seems like it was carved out of a multifamily home.

4. Chinese

Hunan Gourmet menu - directions
68 E Putnam Ave
Greenwich, CT 06830
(203) 869-1940‎

Again, Hunan Gourmet is just a solid Chinese restaurant that gets all the basics right. The Szechuan Dumplings are a peanuty fat treat. The fried rice is very good, and they also have cold noodles, which is one of my favorites which a lot of restaurants don’t offer. I usually get some beef Lo Mein or beef Chow Fun, or some General’s Chicken – my wife likes the Moo Shu Pork with extra pancakes.

Hunan Gourmet has very fast delivery in my experience, and the dining room is surprisingly elegant.

5. Indian

Tandoori, Taste of India (Port Chester) menu - directions
163 N Main St
Port Chester, NY 10573
(914) 937-2727‎

I hesitate to add these guys to the list because technically they are in Port Chester (they had a Riverside location which has closed), however they have delivered to me in Greenwich in the past. We have eaten in the dining room there also, which is a great prelude to a movie at the Port Chester cinemas.

When I worked in Silicon Valley as a programmer, I would up eating a LOT of Indian food. The reason for this is that when you get a bunch of programmers going out for lunch, at least one or two are going to be both Indian and vegetarian. Silicon Valley has some great Indian buffets to take care of them, and I never minded them at all – especially if they had soft-serve mango ice cream!

In my opinion, Tandoori Taste of India is better than most Indian restaurants in terms of taste and menu.

I usually get the Lamb Vindaloo and my wife likes the Chicken Tiki Masala or Chicken Korma, with the Uthappam to share as an appetizer. Sometimes I will get a mango lasse.

The dining room at Tandoori is a little dated but fine, service is good but like some asian restaurants sometimes certain dishes can take longer than others.
