See above. "Takeaway" is a noun. You need two words for the verb. You can use the noun in things like "Shall we get a takeaway?" (BrE)

Is the following sentence correct and natural?

Do you want to takeaway or eat here?

No. Better: Do you want take-out, or do you want to eat here?

In the US, we use take-out or takeout. It's always a noun.

Another noun is takeaway, meaning main lesson. It has nothing to do with food.

I think "take-out" is not in BrE.

 

[Rover_KE]

Yes, it is.

We also say 'Is that to-go or for here?' which started off in the USA but is increasingly heard in the UK,

 

[emsr2d2]

I think "take-out" is not used in BrE.

That would be more natural as "I don't think 'take-out' is used in BrE".

But we Americans don't hyphenate the phrase unless it's a compound adjective.

I think "take-out" is not in BrE.

It is, but I think it's been imported from the US. I don't remember hearing it when I was young.

Do you want takeaway or eat here? Is it okay?

 

[GoesStation]

"Do you want takeaway or to eat here?" Is it okay?

No. "Takeaway" is a noun. "To eat here" is a verb phrase. They don't work together.

Always put text you're asking about in quotation marks.
