Sure, some of the beauty of going to a restaurant is the fact that you're going out, and someone else is cooking for you. But sometimes, there are circumstances that may stop you from going out for a meal; whether it's your budget, lack of time, or family obligations, it's not always convenient to go out.

But there's always one option - cook restaurant food at home. You can do this by simply being inspired by your favourite meals, or you can get the recipes right from the chef.
