Decent non-Asian/Mexican near Sunset Park/Borough Park?

I live near the 9th ave D stop in Sunset Park, edging in on Borough Park to the east.

We have a lot of good (and a few great) Asian and Mexican options nearby, but we're sometimes not in the mood for that, and picking outside those categories are slim so far as I can tell.

So... does anyone here know of any food that is

a.) Not Asian or Mexican (nothing against these cuisines, love 'em both, just looking for variety)
b.) Reasonably good
c.) Within delivery or convenient walking distance for takeout of the aforementioned D stop (around 9th/39th)?

Note that my standard here is just "reasonably good" - I realize there are probably no great destination spots around here that fit those criteria.

But I'm slightly hopeful that there might be a solid pizza place, deli, diner, schwarma, etc. that I haven't heard tell of which might be a step up on our current fallbacks when we're tired of noodles/tacos and don't want to haul to Park Slope or Bay Ridge.

Thanks, Hounds!

    You're not too far from the intersection of Church and McDonald Aves. There are Bangladeshi and Balkan places close by.

      Yeah, I have been over that way a bit (went to a Bangladeshi street fair on McDonald a few weeks ago) but not much yet. Any particular recommendations? Especially ones which might deliver all the way over to 9th, though that might be a stretch for these types of places.

      Kind of a stumper.

      Is El Salvador far enough from Mexico for you? El Morro at 40th St and 14th Ave has decent pupusas.

      Schnitzi, the Israeli schnitzel bar on Coney Island Ave in Midwood, has had a sign up on their wall for a while now that says they have a new location coming soon to Borough Park. I can't remember exactly when or where the new one's going to open up, but they make pretty tasty sandwiches.
