Looking to add something different to my everyday meals during the holidays, I thought I'd try out the 2 NonVeg Package for one week. The meals were meant to be delivered on December 23 and 25 at the cost of $116.39 (including HST).
The delivery time for the meals said between 2PM-6PM but I received my first delivery after 7:30PM. Maybe because I ordered the food during a busy time, I received mostly watered down and tasteless dishes with barely any flavour of food from Kerala. The Nadan Chicken Curry was badly cooked with hard, burnt pieces of chicken. The only palatable items in this delivery were the White Chickpeas, the limited amount of Semiya Payasam (sweet dish), Upma, and Rice.
Due to the high volume of orders, the second delivery was delayed by a day and arrived on December 26. At least the food arrived on time (somewhere between 2:30PM and 3PM). This was another disappointing mess of food. The Fried (bone in) Chicken smelled stale and was burnt too, and the Rice was spoilt. The Jeera Raita and Veg Kurma were watered down, and the Pavakka Theeyal (bitter gourd) was tasteless. On the plus side, the Cabbage Thoran was nice and crunchy, and the Egg Noodles tasted as good as any that are sold in Indian street eateries.
I give them points for delivering the food (in decent containers) at no extra cost. Having grown up eating meals with family friends from Kerala, I have to say that this food was below standard. I have no intention of ordering food from this tiffin service ever again.
