Tired of staid office canteen fare or greasy take out? We know exactly how you feel, which is why we went looking for the best tiffin deliveries in Noida. While some churn out simple flavours that will remind you of home, others promise a taste of regional specialties. Here is our pick of the lot.
TIFFIN KAKU
Staying away from home, we always crave for flavours that remind us of mum’s cooking. And all the Bongs living and working in Noida will love Tiffin Kaku for that very reason. This newly launched service offers healthy, homemade Bengali food at affordable prices, which make it accessible to everyone. Offering lunch and dinner on weekdays and breakfast on weekends, it’s great value for money.
Their Non-Veg Fish Thali (Rs 140) comprises of rice, dal, Aloo Bhaja, along with a subzi that changes daily, Fish Curry and Misti Doi to end your meal on a sweet note. The Veg Thali (Rs 120) comes with all the same ingredients except the fish makes way for Chanar Dalna. You can also choose from chicken, prawns or mutton – all of which are priced economically. The quality of the food will surprise you and everything comes packed neatly in proper boxes in servings that are more than enough for one person.
Price: Rs 400 for two
Timings: 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm | 4 pm to 7.30 pm

ROCKETFOOD
Strip down a delivery menu to the basics, cut out all the frills and you get Rocketfood – a delivery service that promises homestyle food every day. With a neat website and quick efficient service, it’s great for days you don’t feel like mulling over lunch.
We tried their Veg Rocketmeal (Rs 155) that came in a neat packaging with wholesome portions of Dal Fry, vegetable of the day, steamed rice, chapattis, salad and pickle. It all tastes just like it should, but in the Non-Veg Rocketmeal (Rs 175), the well-cooked Butter Chicken was our day’s highlight. If a meal combo seems too much food, you can always go for individual portions – the sweet and creamy Shahi Paneer (Rs 85) and the Tandoori Chicken (Rs 65) are highly recommended. They also have a selection of biryanis, quick bites, Indian breads and family combos for times you don’t want to cook!
P.S: They also deliver in Indirapuram, Vaishali and Vasundhara and usually take around 45 minutes.
Price: Rs 300 for two
Timings: 11 am to 11 pm

Their Mutton Thali (Rs 490) with rice, dal, Aloo Bhaja, Mutton Curry, chutney, Payesh and Misti Doi might sound expensive but is worth the money. The menu also has ample of starters like Egg Roll (Rs 60), Chicken Kabiraji (Rs 310 for two pieces), Chicken Pakoda (Rs 290) and more. Their packaging is decent and they make sure that the food delivered is still hot.

Situated in Sector 19, this one is a favourite with the corporates.

KITCHEN CALCUTTA
How about some Phulkophir Dalna, Posto, Chenar Dalna and Chicken Kosha for lunch? Kolkata might be far, but Kitchen Calcutta makes sure your craving for authentic, traditional dishes are taking care of. With a delivery time of 45 minutes, they make sure the food served is hot and fresh. The main course sees exotic dishes like Shukto (Rs 180), Chingri Paturi (Rs 300), Masala Pomfret (Rs 380), Doi Illish (Rs 600 for two piece) and more. Everything tastes great, but we think the fish dishes are the best part of their menu.
