The website describes the food as “Low in oil. Light on spice. Big on health. Crafted fresh daily with locally sourced organic and non-GMO ingredients.” Unfortunately, the “low in oil” and “healthy” claims don’t hold up. The vegetables were quite oily — especially noticeable when reheating. If a curry or vegetable dish is truly low in oil, you wouldn’t see oil forming a visible slick on the surface, but that’s exactly what happened (see attached photo of the bhindi). It makes it hard to trust the other health-related claims. On the positive side, the packaging was neat, and the home delivery was prompt.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Last week, I had ordered from Healthy Tiffins, but unfortunately, my tiffin went missing for Friday due to a mix-up. The driver informed me about the missed delivery, and I reached out to their support team. However, since it was already 6:30pm and then weekend so I didn’t receive a prompt response. On Monday, to my surprise, I received a personal call from the owner himself. He sincerely apologized for the inconvenience caused and took immediate action to rectify the situation. He not only processed a refund and a credit for future use but also went above and beyond by sending me a special delivery to my home, accompanied by a handwritten note. That small, thoughtful gesture truly stood out to me. 💛 Every business makes mistakes, and that’s perfectly normal. What truly matters is how they handle these situations. This experience demonstrated the deep value that Healthy Tiffins places on its customers. It wasn’t just about the refund or the free meal; it was about the care, accountability, and personal touch they showed. I commend businesses that own their mistakes and transform them into opportunities to build trust.
