Dinner Box

In spite of intentions towards a salad, there was a cheeky devil on my shoulder that convinced me to gorge on delicious Chinese take away last night. (And when I say on my shoulder, I mean the other end of the phone saying, «gwaaaan, let’s get Chinese!») I don’t mind, not one bit. So, after perusing the various Just Eats, and trying to discount options by reviews and odd names (one was simply called «Amazing») we picked Dinner Box. Thanks for the tip Andy W!
Everything arrived in good time, and the portions are the standard size — in that they’re pretty large and enough for me to last two days. (I’ve mentioned before that I reheat a lot.) The special curry has plenty in it, the usual standard of chicken, pork, prawns, and such like. Lots of mushrooms too, which I always appreciate. The sauces were perhaps a little thinner than I’ve had, however, we decided this may be due to having less MSG, so that’s a good thing.
The chips weren’t quite as tasty as some places, but we got a decent feed, and looking at the menu the set meals are actually really good value. We ordered about £16 worth of food, but for £17.50 could have had starters, appetisers, mains and more. Worth checking out. One day I’ll stop going for my usual curry, and try branching out to more interesting things, but you know when you want what you know? Yep, that’s how it was.
Decent food, good arrival time, but not super special. I’d order again though!

This is my local Chinese, and I was actually pleasantly surprised. I’ve had trouble finding a consistently good Chinese in Leeds. I was ordering from How Are You for a good few years until the quality waned dramatically a while back. Now I doubt I’ll go elsewhere for a while. It’s not perfect — I’ve had one or two bland meals from Dinner Box, but on the whole it’s been very good, and rather handy since I can walk to pick it up!
