As technology improves, even other aspects need to improve and thus opening unlimited opportunities. In the brink of food delivery problems, Meal Diaries has started it&#8217;s operations. It&#8217;s a new startup from 3 close friends who are working hard to provide Indian &amp; Continental food while being light on the pockets. They&#8217;ve a daily changing menu and deliver in the time slots prefered by us. We were invited to try their dishes as a part of FBAB meetup and here&#8217;s our take on it.<\/p>\n<p>Salads weren&#8217;t our go-to dish, but this changed our take on them. They served us three varieties of salads, Asian Green Salad with Lemon Coriander Dressing, Yasai Salad with Spicy Mayo Dressing and Vietnamese Salad with Sweet &amp; Sour Dressing. For the first time, we liked salads. Exotic greens, fresh crunchy vegetables, soft chicken, mayo, lemon coriander and flavours made the whole eat a great joy! Asian Green &amp; Vietnamese Salads are available with chicken too.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"mealdiaries (17)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/25520578436\/in\/datetaken\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1713\/25520578436_4391a85805_b.jpg\" alt=\"mealdiaries (17)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"mealdiaries (19)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/25428180992\/in\/datetaken\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1688\/25428180992_d5b1de2b59_b.jpg\" alt=\"mealdiaries (19)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"mealdiaries (20)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lifeonplates\/25453982341\/in\/datetaken\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1555\/25453982341_b22c6b05f2_b.jpg\" alt=\"mealdiaries (20)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>We were served three quick bites, out of which Pita Pockets were one of our favourites.
