Vegetarian Feast from GupShup

From: New York City, New York

"The one innovation of the pandemic is that takeout is no longer limited to what is in a 15-mile radius of your home. A number of restaurants are now sending meals around the country, including GupShup, a two-story Indian restaurant that sits in lower Manhattan. Their vegetarian feast for four can easily feed eight and has been one of the better meals I've had during the pandemic, especially as cooking fatigue sets in. The kit, which includes dishes like rich black dal, sharp and punchy saag paneer, and a truly life-changing dish of morels swimming in a thick and luxurious coconut and tomato gravy, arrives fully cooked, frozen, and vacuum sealed. All you have to do is reheat the food and in 5 minutes, dinner is ready. I may currently be nearly 700 miles away from the restaurant, this meal kit makes me feel like I am just seven blocks away." - Khushbu Shah, Restaurant Editor
