Curry 2U Delivery Service Delish Offers
Each week Saffeen Jamal packs up curries, rice, dal and more for home delivery with Curry 2U. We ordered up beautiful array of dishes and each one was packed full of flavour, felt like a warm hug on a cold day! Portions are generous and the price is definitely right! Order this week by Wednesday, February 24th, 10:00 am PT for delivery on Thursday, February 25th.
You may remember Curry 2U from Granville Island Market, owned by Shaffeen Jamal. Shaffeen Jamal who with his family owned the legendary Rubina Tandoori (one of Vancouver’s first, and for many years best, traditional Indian restaurant), Rubina Grill and Tamarind.
Now he is bringing the comforting flavours of his family’s Butter Chicken and other Jamal family favourites to your door in a once-a-week meal delivery service. “I started the delivery service back in 2006 to reach the seniors in our community. As time progressed, I got requests from international students at UBC and SFU who were missing home-cooked meals. They became a vital component of our regular clients. When our lease on Granville Island was up, we turned to becoming entirely an online home delivery service. The pandemic has meant that the international students have not all returned and those that have are watching every penny as they are not able to work part time. Of course, the seniors are locked in and it is so sad to see them withering away,” says Jamal.
Curry 2U works a little differently from standard takeout out. There is a menu that changes weekly, and people sign up on Curry 2U’s website to receive it via email on Saturdays. Orders must be placed by 10 a.m. the following Wednesday morning and the meals are delivered anywhere in the Lower Mainland by Mr. Jamal on Thursdays. You can order for one meal or enough for a whole week, the choice is yours. In addition to offering individual dishes Curry 2U also offers value-priced combo meals, and a tiffin delivery service.
“Rubina Tandoori’s famed Butter Chicken, and our family recipes for Daal and Chana Masala are on the menu every week. We wouldn’t dare remove them as there’d be an outcry,” says Jamal. The menu offers plenty of vegetarian as well as meat dishes. In addition to the Butter Chicken, you might find Lamb Curry, Cumin Potatoes, Coconut Curried Corn or Fish Goa Curry. Each weekly menu contains a selection of ten dishes.
We’ll be ordering soon again!
