Live and work from home in the Cambrian neighborhood of San Jose?…read moreTrying to eat healthier lunches on a budget? Love vegetarian, homestyle Indian food? Yogi Plate is here to save the day! I'm so glad that my neighbor told me about this home meal service several years ago after I had just had a baby and was in need of nourishing meals but had very little reserve to cook and clean them up myself. If the following features align with you, I highly encourage you to check out this great small business that was once a godsend to me. Yogi Plate, a South Bay catering business that cooks based on the sattvic diet (rooted in Ayurvedic principles with a focus on plant-based foods), had a weekday lunchbox service at a price more affordable than Door Dash or eating out. You simply order online, as late as the morning of if you like (but you can also set a custom subscription), then pick up your vegetarian Indian bagged lunch around noon at the designated location. My meal always came with rice, bread, and 2-3 curry or other entree dishes. As a non-Indian person, I have always enjoyed Indian food, but this place especially turned me on to strictly vegetarian options... always delicious, while still hearty and healthy! The owner and chef is a leader in this area of cuisine. I have interacted with him in person many times upon picking up my lunch, and he and his family are also very kind. While I generally only ordered the weekday lunch service, they have expanded over time to offer different dinner options, pizzas, etc. And while my pickup location is in the Cambrian neighborhood of San Jose, they also have pickup locations in Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Palo Alto, and San Jose - Commercial St. Inquire within for more specific addresses. Thank you, Yogi Plate!

Seems like they post their weekly menus on their website, so you can kind of get a sense of what type of meals you might get. So if you're looking to get a better sense of what may be in your 'bag', then I recommend looking there first! Pickup was quick. Someone noticed me standing by the door and after letting them know I was there to pick up a Too Good to Go order, he got my boxes really quickly. The meal I ended up getting was a turkley bolognese pasta with some steamed broccoli. Very simplistic dish that tasty alright. For this specific meal, I'm not sure I would so inclined to pay full price for the meal prep since it is cheaper and very easy to make this at home. That said, I can see the appeal for those who are just too busy overall and want fast, healthy meals without having to cook. Overall, glad to have tried another local establishment. Would recommend trying this on 2G2G first if you're not sure you'll like the food.

Then I found Gainz and Shreds. I will admit I was a little bit skeptical - this seemed too good to be true. Choose and customize your protein amount? Lots of veggie choices? Double veggies instead of carbs? Ability to order a single meal through DoorDash? Not outrageously priced? Really? All of that? But it's true! Very convenient to order through DoorDash, Food is prepared well and tastes great. 3 minutes in the microwave does the job, and a healthy (for me, higher protein) lunch or dinner is ready. It doesn't get much better than that. Look forward to continuing my support for this business.

I came to San Jose to celebrate a friend's graduation. I saw all the "yes" confirmations so I…read morelooked forward to going and seeing everyone. What could top the stories and the good company? Well, dinner. We started with a roasted butternut squash soup. I love butternut squash soup - making it, eating it, so I thought, okay! And then I had some; and that was when the evening took everybody on a tabletop road trip to Napa. The warm bowl carried the gold of sunny afternoon gardens. Seriously, all my future homemade soups will forever be reaching back to that bowl. What next? Mixed green salad, filet mignon, with hummus & pita bread for the table. The salad was so fresh and beautiful: cherry tomatoes, orange wedges, avocado and pine nuts, all bursting with flavor and color. The filet mignon was amazingly tender and so sweet, the way it can be when it's exceptional. The hummus was light and fit so well with the mild balsamic vinegar on the salad. Whatever bite I took, each flavor held the other flavors up. I was halfway through the dinner before it hit me that I needed to take photo of this. I will try to add it to the gallery - you can see how gorgeous, I only wish I took it from the start! Food can make or break a party. When it's bad, it makes you want to leave. When it's great, it's all you can talk about. Who knew that a catered meal could make us all feel so appreciated as guests, like we were the ones being celebrated! The Health Taste elevated the entire evening and impressed. Organic, local, delicious food - I could eat like this every day!

This Indian store is a lot bigger than I ever expected. They carry fresh produce, a massive lineup…read moreof snacks, all sorts of prepackaged foods. I checked out tea selection. They had some teas where I had good experiences many years ago. Who knows what has happened in since then. The expiration dates ranged from a few months from today to two years in the future. Check the expiration dates before you purchase. To my ignorant eyes, I couldn't even guess at the identity of 98% of the items. I did recognize a few items which I've had before. They seem to be part of most Indian meals and they're quite delicious. Unfortunately, the carb count is so high that I can't really eat them anymore. The size of the store is big enough that there is an array of each product so you have great selection. I couldn't tell if the prices were high or low so I took a bunch of pictures and you can decide for yourself. The kitchen area seems super well stocked. I recognized a spice/coffee/peppermill. I actually purchased this. It was a total disaster. The brand was kinjal. It was completely unable to grind peppercorn. I tried grinding oregano . No dice. Since the item cannot be returned, I am stuck with recycling it. I recognize a press. I would have guessed it was a tortilla press, but I doubt that was it. I have just purchased a tortilla press. The only drawback was mine is bigger and more suited to what I want. I recognized the mortar and pestles.. They were made of heavy stone and I didn't recognize what it was made of. But the price is sure better than the marble mortar and pestle that I purchased 40 years ago. I saw something that looked like a wok. It was so large that there is no possible way for me to heat that thing. To me the only way to handle a wok that big would have to be a bonfire. Also, who the heck makes that much food. I think this is an implement that is most useful for a restaurant. There was an array of copper products. Pure copper. Hand hammered. The price was amazing, but I don't really need these items. I reluctantly passed them by. But the prices were astonishingly low for copper. Now copper has antimicrobial properties so I felt higher confidence in performance than rival products made of glass or stainless steel. If you let copper form the reddish brown patina, the patina is more durable and has higher antimicrobial activity than pure copper. This is the reason why copper pipes command such a high price and last longer than other materials. For now it's time for me to acquire an Indian cookbook so I can have a shot at recognizing at least some of the ingredients. Like many Asian stores cleanliness was certainly not the highest priority. The floor was faintly grubby, although the products didn't have any dust or dirt. But an enormous number of products had no expiration dates so who knows. But based on my experience with the teas I decided I would not pick up spices here. They do have a section with whole spices and powdered but Indian cooking seems to have shifted to pre-milled spice packets. I certainly appreciate this convenience. It also means I have a shot at recognizing the mix. I did not eat any of the prepared foods. Most of them looked carb high and oily. I have problems tolerating both so it was a hard pass for me. I ended up buying an assortment of kitchen implements which filled some of the holes in my collection. That's pretty impressive since my collection is extensive. Since my alternative source is Amazon the prices were reasonable. Service was snappy and I paid for my item in about in a few minutes. Since the equipment cannot be returned they were meticulous about inspecting items before allowing me to inspect it myself.
