healthier

Fast food and mall food court Indian restaurants are common in Berlin, and I wouldn't call any of them healthy. Every single one leans heavily on deep-fried everything, covered in flavoured oil disguised as a sauce.

The "fast" in fast food often works against the carefully prepared, fresh ingredients required for a truly healthy and tasty meal.

In lots of ways, it's the same dichotomy as Italian cuisine, where you can get amazing Mediterranean food at a sit-down restaurant, but the fast food variety is usually just greasy pizza or oil with a side of pasta.

Upvoted, but I only partly agree. The way things are now you can order takeout from local small businesses, and there won't be consistent quality or speed or prices, but they're not a huge corporate machine. (At least at the endpoints). A big conglomerate moving into the space may put most of the local ones under.

There's an indian place by my work that has a tikka masala wrap, thought it was genius as a takeaway item. Super delicious, but an extreme mess... the idea that it would be portable was a big miss.

I want a fast soup restaurant. Very healthy vegan soup, which may take a while to make, but it's already made in the morning so it's fast.

I've been having frozen samosas for lunch lately and you aren't wrong

I generally agree, especially if you could get like naan burritos. Something quick and easy to make

Similarly in ohio and a few other places there's a place called piada which basically is Chipotle but Italian food and I miss it so much. It's such good fast casual
