what should i order for dinner

You could go three ways tonight, depending on your mood and energy level.
1. Fast “order-in” ideas
If you just want to tap your phone and eat soon:
- Crispy smashed burger with fries (very 2026-core: simple, nostalgic, and trendy).
- Spicy ramen or “elevated noodles” with toppings like soft egg, mushrooms, and chili oil.
- Caribbean-style curry bowl with rice, plantains, and a tangy slaw.
- Ethiopian combo platter (lentils, stews, veggies with injera) if you’re up for eating with your hands.
- Classic comfort: pizza with one fun topping (e.g., pepperoni + hot honey) or a chicken pot pie.
2. Decide by craving (quick quiz)
Answer these in your head:
- Do you want light or heavy?
- Light → Sushi, poke bowl, grilled salmon + veggies, big salad with chicken.
- Heavy → Burger, cheesy pasta, fried chicken, curry with naan or rice.
- Do you want spicy or mild?
- Spicy → Thai curry, Korean fried chicken, Indian vindaloo/tikka masala, spicy ramen.
- Mild → Margherita pizza, roast chicken, simple pasta (aglio e olio, carbonara), ramen with a mild broth.
- Do you want eat-on-the-couch or sit-at-table?
- Couch food → Burrito/tacos, noodles in one bowl, burger + fries, bánh mì.
- Table vibe → Ethiopian, Mediterranean mezze, sushi set, proper roast or steak.
Example outcomes:
- “Light + spicy + couch” → Poke bowl with spicy tuna, or spicy tofu noodle bowl.
- “Heavy + mild + couch” → Pepperoni pizza or creamy pasta with garlic bread.
- “Heavy + spicy + table” → Indian or Caribbean curry feast with sides.
3. If you’re totally indifferent
Pick one of these “spin-the-wheel” options:
- Order ramen with an egg, extra toppings, and gyoza on the side.
- Get a smashed burger, fries, and something green (side salad or veggies) so it feels a bit balanced.
- Grab a mixed sushi set plus miso soup.
- Order an Ethiopian veggie/meat combo platter and try at least one stew you’ve never had.
If you tell me:
- What you ate yesterday
- Any dietary needs (veg, halal, allergies)
- Your budget and whether you’re okay with spicy food
…I can narrow it down to one or two very specific things to order.
