Palm Coast, FL residents are never more than a few minutes from the ocean, so fresh seafood is available all year long. But for those who crave more than fish, we've narrowed down the list of best choices for delivery or take-out. 1. 5th Element Indian Cuisine For something different, we suggest the authentic Indian flavors of 5th Element. The owner is a native of India and gathered the very best chefs to reproduce his hometown favorites. Locals love the chicken tikka masala and the steaming hot naan bread. We love the generous portions. They are perfect for leftovers. 2. Osteria Rustica From India, we travel to Italy with this delightful restaurant that offers a full take-out menu. This upscale establishment offers fine dining at a reasonable cost. Their pasta and savory sauces are homemade to ensure you receive a fresh meal every time. This is one place you'll want to save room for dessert. We hear the tiramisu is especially impressive. 3.

We suggest arriving in style by boat and eating on the water since the restaurant is accessible from the channel. Captain's slow cooks their meats in a wood-burning smoker, producing the juiciest and most flavorful sandwiches in town. Both the BBQ chicken and pulled pork are superb, and with such low prices, you don't have to decide between the two. 4.

The Flagler Fish Company guarantees freshness; their selection varies depending on what fish were caught that day. If you prefer to cook your fish at home, the restaurant also has an on-site market. There are plenty of options to choose from, and their knowledgeable staff is ready to assist with all your fish-related questions. 5. Kawa Sushi If you prefer your seafood on the raw side, then we suggest ordering take-out from Kawa Sushi. They offer great lunch specials and have daily deals on sushi. Their online ordering system makes take-out a breeze. If sushi makes you cringe, they also have a wide variety of Japanese- and Thai-inspired noodle dishes. 6. The Green Lion Cafe Locals know that this unique spot situated on the golf course is the place for Sunday brunch. However, you can have their regular breakfast any day of the week. For a healthy choice, we suggest the spinach frittata, but it's sure hard to resist the coconut waffles. If you still have room, try one of their lunchtime sandwiches. With so much variety, this cafe can easily provide all of your daily meals. Once you've picked up an outstanding meal from one of these restaurants, you'll want to drive home in style.
