How many times have you relished eating from more than one kitchen?
This reminds me of picnic days straightaway where every family brought one special eatable and we all shared and ate together. In routine, not everyday we get a chance to eat from too many kitchens at one time. Sharing lunch boxes at school, college, workplaces, etc., does bring back some memories but those are rare days when everyone in the gang brings a delicacy.
Honestly, I love food and when there is variety, nothing like it. It gets monotonous to eat from one place or one type. When we eat in a group, its so much fun. Let me explain why. Who doesn’t enjoy grabbing spoonfuls of vegetable biryani from one friend’s box and ‘aloo ki sabzi’ and Parantha from other? While I may be eating my favorite food, still there are times when I want that one bite of the chicken-curry from the office canteen too because when it comes to food, we Indians just love to lots of different kind of food.
Today, lets talk about an interesting setup that is a market place for home chefs, amateur chefs and professional chefs.
I love eating in my house at my own comfort and thus I am quite fond of home delivery system. I am waiting for that day when it wouldn’t be tough to order the specialties of Chandni Chowk and relish in Faridabad. (Dreaming now)
Recently BITECLUB invited me to use their website or app and order food on their menu. The idea looked tempting to me and I was all set for this tasting and review.
What is BITECLUB?
It is a Gurgaon-based food ordering startup. They are a platform where different chefs are connected to foodies. Each day promises few changes in menu. Once you open the website, choose your area as per the timings and day of the week, it shows all available options. The food is not very pricey too. Along with the food, one gets to see the details about the chef as well.
What I ordered?
It was a Wednesday and I chose the below from the dinner menu!
- Rajma With Jeera Rice And Masala Chaach
- Veg Makhanwala With Tawa Parathas
- Sweet Paniyarams And Savoury Paniyaram With Sambhar And Coconut Chutney
- Mutton Dum Biryani
I got the food delivered at my husband’s office in DLF Cybercity and in one hour the food packet reached me at home. It was easily palatable. Nothing had leaked and everything was intact. I had ordered Punjabi to South Indian to check for taste and variety. Each box carried the name of the food as well its chef. The idea looked very appetizing to me that the four boxes had been cooked in four different kitchens by different people (chefs).
FOOD EXPERIENCE
But one cannot judge this on just four food items. It has much to offer and people in Gurgaon are always on a lookout for something new and handy. Canteen food bores everyone and the food at PG’s sucks. This can be a great idea to tap the crowd who is looking for less costly, less greasy food.
After I had tasted the meal, I was curious to know more about BITECLUB and their platform and thus I got them answer a few questions for me too. Startups are the future of our country!!!
So the crux is that its not just me but we all love to hog on unlimited and interesting food. Also we all have an understanding that junk cannot be eaten everyday and it is home-made food that our tummy loves and relishes more. Thus, BITECLUB seems like a great idea to put all kinds of chefs together to give us a taste of both, hotel and home-cooked food.
Why not we get our mums, wives, friends on board if they cook amazing and are interested in tantalizing many taste buds.
I ordered Dinner from biteclub. i received this order very late, my order number is #BC66976
( Butter Paneer and Khadi Masoordaal). when i finished my half food, i seen home fly
(makkhhi) in my food, and i after seen this i feel vomit. I then had vmoit there nearby. that
food by biteclub was horrible with insects/flies in it. i dont think biteclub provide hygenic food and biteclub chef are totally irresponsible chef, when i calling in biteclub he didn’t pic my call… i wanna file a complaint against bite club for
serving this food.
Did you take pictures of it. And if they were not taking calls, Next time something like this happens, first thing go on twitter an tag their twitter handle, tag them on facebook. Use the power of social media.
Whenever we order food from famous place we hope to get the best services, however sometimes you don’t get what you desire the way you wanted it and sometimes it’s even horrible , and that’s exactly what happen to me when I ordered food from Biteclub using their application. It’s one of the worst services I ever seen in my life. The food was not properly packed , infact oil was drooping all over the floor when I received it. The polythene it came in was covered in oil and I felt disgusted at quality of service I got for the given amount . Even tissues were not provided in the packing when I tried to return the food and complaints about its condition they said once the packing is opened it wasn’t their headache if oil leaks out. Such horrible and bad services are not expected from Biteclub. They are complete crooks.
You should have returned the food. Also why didn’t you take pictures of it and tag them on twitter. These days Social media is the best solution to get problems solved. As far as my experience is considered, pictures are above and you can see I had no qualms with it.
hey thanks. i have the picture of it. i will upload it tomorrow. i was very much hungry that time so i had that. better to have it instead of sleeping empty stomach and with hunger. but i thought to complaint about it. so i did here about biteclub gurgaon. i want to give this horrible feedback at other places also. can you advise me?
yes i took pictures. i have those pictures of bad food by biteclub. i want to complaint about this.
