A friend of mine had mentioned a takeway start-up by her aunt. The whole idea was quite intriguing and when I was invited, to be most candid, I had a steriotypical Indian “Ghar ka Khaana” (home-cooked food) kind of an expectation. But believe me, the spread had me blown away. It looked nothing less (if not more) than a 5 – star arrangement arrangement was it was extremely difficult to process that all of it was actually home-cooked. From Oriental, Italian, Mediterranean to Contemporary Indian, they had everything laid out in the mist beautiful manner possible.
“Eat Out @ Home was born mainly out of our love for cooking”, said childhood friends and founders of “Eat Out @ Home”, Smriti Sarawgi and Shradhha Singhania. They continued, “We cater to all kinds of clients and all cuisines. We try to be a one-stop solution when it comes to food.” Ordering from them would mean giving up on the hassles of presenting and serving the food. They even provide beautiful trays and utensils for the food to be presented. Besides the extremely creative menu and the hygienic conditions of cooking, their greatest USP is their presentation. Even if they are packing food to be taken on flights, they never ever compromise on the presentation. “There are times when our clients call us on short notice and ask us for something they would have to do nothing about, not even heat it. We have quite a few options even for that”, said the bubbly ladies.
What I ate:
Carrot orange soup with crostini and coriander butter
Fungus udon salad
Burmese ginger salad
Sushi Leek fennel roesti with cheesy sauce
Caramelised onion and cheese fondue cups
Ravioli with veg in sun dried tomato sauce
Sesame tofu with soba noodles in spicy peanut sauce
Sabz galauti
Cous cous verde
Roti jala with malay curry
Orange cake with chocolate drizzle
Grilled peaches and apple roses with cream
Caramel almond sandesh
Each and everything tasted extremely authentic. The food has the upsides of the home-cooked hygiene added with the super professional flavor.
My favorites:
Ravioli with veg in sun dried tomato sauce
Caramelised onion and cheese fondue cups
Sabz galauti
Grilled peaches and apple roses with cream
Caramel almond sandesh
You can check them out at Zomato (And read my review there as well). Though they do not have a home delivery yet, but they are broadening their horizons soon. They have their take-away point at 36, Panditya Road, Ballygunge.
Verdict:
Must-Try if you are willing to experiment with some lip-smacking vegetarian food and looking for a solution for well presented party/corporate/trave food.
