The menu

Four weeks. Twenty-four days. No two boxes the same.

Tiffin Service Dubai publishes its complete four-week rotation — 24 cooking days, Monday to Saturday, every dish named and allergens on every day — before anyone pays. Week 1 is North Indian; Week 2 is South Indian; Week 3 is Pakistani and Punjabi; Week 4 is Comfort. Then it starts again.

Dal, rice, roti and kachumber salad are in every box. What changes is the sabzi, the dal and the rice. On a non-veg plan, the listed non-veg main replaces the gravy dish every delivery day, Monday to Saturday.

Every weekday, all four weeks

What is on the menu on each day of the week?

Tiffin Service Dubai runs a four-week rotation, so each weekday has four different boxes across the month. Wednesdays are Paneer Butter Masala in week 1, Avial in week 2, Palak Paneer in week 3 and Malai Kofta in week 4; on a non-veg plan the Wednesday main is Kadhai Chicken, Nadan Kozhi Curry, Chicken Karahi and Anda Masala respectively. On a non-veg plan, the listed non-veg main replaces the gravy dish every delivery day, Monday to Saturday.

The Tiffin Service Dubai rotation by day of the week. Each cell gives the headline vegetarian dish and, after the slash, the meat main that replaces the gravy dish on a non-veg plan.

Is the vegetarian plan vegetarian every day?

Yes. On the Tiffin Service Dubai vegetarian plan all 24 days of the rotation are vegetarian — there is no meat in the box on any day, in any week. On a non-veg plan, the listed non-veg main replaces the gravy dish every delivery day, Monday to Saturday.

Off the menu on purpose

Why does tiffin food arrive soggy, hard or leaking?

Because some dishes cannot survive an hour in a closed box. Bhindi steams in its own moisture and turns slimy; rasam and kadhi leak past any gasket; dosa and idli collapse; fried fish goes soggy and transfers its smell to everything beside it. Tiffin Service Dubai leaves all ten off the menu on purpose. Every one is a dish a restaurant would happily serve you — on a plate, at the table, now.

Why no bhindi?: Bhindi does not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Steams in its own moisture and turns slimy inside twenty minutes. The most common tiffin complaint there is.
Why no dosa, idli, uttapam?: Dosa, idli, uttapam do not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Texture collapses completely. A dosa arrives as a damp cloth.
Why no rasam?: Rasam does not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Too thin. It finds its way past every gasket, and a leaking box ruins your bag.
Why no kadhi?: Kadhi does not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Same leak problem, and it splits when you reheat it.
Why no fried fish?: Fried fish does not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Goes soggy and the smell transfers to every other compartment. Fish only as a thick curry.
Why no seekh and chapli kabab?: Seekh and chapli kabab do not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Dry out within forty minutes. We send kofta instead — the gravy holds it.
Why no puri, papad, samosa, pakora?: Puri, papad, samosa, pakora do not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Crisp food goes leathery in a hot box. If it goes in at all, it goes in dry and separate.
Why no omelette and fried egg?: Omelette and fried egg do not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Turns rubbery. Egg goes in as Anda Masala or Kerala egg roast.
Why no gulab jamun, rasgulla, rasmalai?: Gulab jamun, rasgulla, rasmalai do not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Syrup leaks through any lid that is not heat-sealed. Our sweets are the dry ones — ladoo, barfi, Mysore pak.
Why no lettuce and sprout salads?: Lettuce and sprout salads do not go in a Tiffin Service Dubai box. Wilts against a hot compartment. Kachumber holds; leaves do not.

Why is the roti hard by the time it reaches me?

Tiffin Service Dubai sends roti, not a promise about roti. A chapati is hard within forty-five minutes. We brush with ghee and wrap in foil, which buys time but does not stop physics. On Wednesdays and Saturdays we send paratha instead, because it travels better.

Allergens and substitutions

Does Tiffin Service Dubai list allergens?

Yes — every one of the 24 days on the rotation above carries its allergen tags, published before anyone pays. Across the month that is gluten on all 24 days, milk on 20 of the 24, tree nuts on 9 of the 24, mustard on 5 of the 24, sesame on 4 of the 24, egg on 1 of the 24 and fish on 1 of the 24. Of the 24 days, 4 contain no dairy and 15 contain no tree nuts. Every day contains gluten, because roti is in every box.

Gluten · all 24 days
Milk · 20 of 24 days
Tree nuts · 9 of 24 days
Mustard · 5 of 24 days
Sesame · 4 of 24 days
Egg · 1 of 24 days
Fish · 1 of 24 days

We cook wheat, dairy, nuts, sesame and mustard in the same kitchen every single day. We can leave an ingredient out of your dish, but we cannot promise there is no trace of it. If you have a severe allergy, tell us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve you safely.

Does Tiffin Service Dubai do Jain food?

Not properly, and we would rather say so. Tiffin Service Dubai can cook no-onion-no-garlic as a separate batch when the kitchen confirms it; ask for a separate weekly quote before ordering. True Jain cooking excludes every root vegetable and needs separate surfaces, utensils and oil — if that is what you need, we are not the right service for you yet.

Substitutions. If a vegetable is not good in the market that morning, we swap it for something in the same style and post the change on this page by 9am. We would rather change the menu than send you a bad sabzi.

Meat. All meat and poultry Tiffin Service Dubai uses is halal, bought from Dubai Municipality-licensed suppliers with halal slaughter certification. We do not handle pork or alcohol in our kitchen.
