Looking through the reviews here, the consensus seems to be 4 stars, but I'm gonna rate it 5 stars…read morebased on the 1 experience I had. Usually not something I'm overly comfortable with, rating a place 5 stars based on 1 experience...a food delivery experience as opposed to a sit-down dine-in experience, at that...but I was stuffed at the end of my meal, the price was more than fair, and the food was pretty damn tasty!
At work, a friend/co-worker recommended this place, which I had never heard of. Usually, I can resist entreaties to order food to be delivered when I'm working, but I was coming off of a bad migraine, a negative reaction to the medication I have to take for it and was feeling pretty famished. I decided to give Tastee Platters a try. Looked at their on-line menu and gave my co-worker my order, which he was gracious enough to place (I detest the whole rigamarole of on-line ordering).
The food arrived pretty quickly. I ordered the chicken platter, which was a large aluminum container of grilled chicken over basmati rice, served with lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, a slice of pita, all of it slathered in white sauce. Maybe I was even hungrier than I had initially thought because I gobbled everything down to the last grain of rice.
I also ordered the banana pudding, which was unusual for me. I like vanilla or rice pudding, and will even order chocolate pudding in a pinch, but I don't think I've ever had banana pudding. And I've got to say-- it was really, really good, smoothly textured and creamy. Maybe too good, as when I had finished everything, I belatedly became aware that I had consumed way, way too much food.
Still, I think the 5 star rating is merited. The food was good and plentiful, I didn't pay a lot for what I ordered, and the ordering and delivery process was relatively trouble free (even though I had nothing to do with that process, other than telling my co-worker what I wanted and handing over my money).
Personally, I can't eat like this too often. I'm still dieting (or trying to), and a repast such as this is DEFINITELY counter-productive to that endeavor. But I certainly can't blame Tastee Platters because I fell off the wagon when it came to dieting. And I can't say that I won't fall off the wagon again at some point in the future. Not too often, hopefully...but I'm a fallible human, after all!
Recommended. Good food for a good price.
