We came across Lunchpi through a Facebook post as we were looking for Food to be delivered at home. What attracted us primarily was the pricing. It is not that we do not wish to pay more to eat good food but for a trial we always prefer pocket friendly ones. Luckily they had a Facebook page and browsing it we understood they have a set menu ( talking about 3 months back) which is posted in it in the morning.

It was already 10.30 am and generally the food caterers expect the order to be placed a day earlier or at the least previous night for the morning and morning for the evening. So quite hesitant and ready for a No mentally, we called up the number. We heard a friendly voice who confirmed that the order can be delivered. We were really surprised and as we were pure vegetarians, we had a hesitation as LunchPi serves both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. She confirmed the vegetarian food is prepared in a separate kitchen and the non-veg food in another kitchen. That is a great relief for a vegetarian and we can see many agreeing with us here.

Food arrived hot, tasty and was adequate for one person to have a yummy filled tummy. It had Cashew pulav, methi dal, paneer lababdar, cheese roti and salad. Spiced moderate, the side dishes were awesome. The little dal left behind was happily eaten alone with a slurp. At the price of Rs. 100 for a thali ordered just an hour before, we just cannot ask for more. It was a surprise to see sumptuous paneer in the side dish and a generous helping of cashews in the pulav. The roti is so soft and it is certainly a meal worth every penny we spend. It became one of our routine meals when we have laid back days in cooking.

It is during this time, my daughter wanted to arrange for dinner for the farewell in her school and we referred LunchPi to them. The order was for 140 thalis and Food was delivered on time. The teacher in charge called me and thanked me in person for such lovely food at affordable price.

We have tasted almost everything in the vegetarian section including the Chinese food and the Pasta. Their lasagna is too good. The quantity and quality of food we get for the price is really amazing. It is for the readers to try it out.

The team is so receptive to feedback. We did ask them to include a side dish without paneer in one of the days and we saw they have introduced kadai vegetables. This team will go places for sure and we wish them all the best.
