Just Eat India | Website Review and a Christmas Giveaway for my Indian Readers

Just Eat India – Get Home Delivery from your Favourite Restaurants

A couple of years ago, who would ever have thought that a day would come when you could even get something like a pickle, or a pair of slippers home delivered? But then, we’re presently living in the era of ‘online ordering’ where, believe it or not, everything you could possibly need (or want!) is simply a click away. So then, why would anybody opt to order, say, groceries online instead of visiting a shop, for instance? Here’s why:

• Cost-saving. First and foremost, you save your money; on fuel, on public transportation etc which you otherwise spend unnecessarily on to-and-fro visits to the outlet.
• Time-saving. But of course. And time, as they say, is money.
• Round-the-clock ordering. Time is no bar when you’re placing your orders online. You’re free to do it at 3 am or 3 pm, totally your call.
• Exclusive deals and discounts. Another one of those factors that come into play when you place your orders online. At any given time, there are numerous offers going on which will again save your money and get you a good deal.
• Delivery at your doorstep. Yes, you don’t need to step out of home either. Very convenient and hassle-free.

With Online Food Ordering Apps making their way into the market, getting home delivery of food has taken on an entirely new meaning. And when it comes to getting food home delivered, then of course the obvious choice is the restaurant next door. What if you could find the menus of all the restaurants that will deliver in your area and could pick and choose the items you want sitting comfortably at home? What if there was North Indian, South Indian, Chinese, Japanese and even cakes and sweets that you could order online and get home delivered? And best of all, what if you could just pay online for your food as well and not bother about sorting out the exact change when the delivery boy rings your doorbell?

JUSTEAT India – India’s largest online food ordering portal and table reservation website – has made all this and more possible. Once on the homepage, you see a search box at the top which is very helpful and will lead you to the restaurant of your choice. You could use this in three ways. One, if you know exactly which restaurant you want to order from, type in the name of the restaurant in the box. Click on ‘Search’ and you’ll probably get your restaurant at the top of a list of several other similar restaurants. Two, you could type in the cuisine you would like.

For example, if I am looking for Chinese cuisine among the Restaurants in Bangalore, I get a list of all restaurants that serve Chinese fare and I can then filter the list based on my location. And last but not the least, you could enter your location in the search box (this I feel is by far the most convenient option). You get a list of all restaurants in your area and can then choose which cuisine or restaurant to go for. So there! Very convenient, a huge amount of choice and timely delivery – now isn’t that a complete package for every foodie?

Now for the fun part. Just Eat India is giving away JUSTEAT coupons worth Rs.200/- for four of my readers. All you need to do is enter in the below Rafflecopter widget. Here are the rules.

> These coupon codes entitle you to food worth 200/- for FREE.

If the order amount is 500/-, then you'll be paying just 300/- and so on). This means that a minimum amount of Rs.400/- needs to be paid to avail this 200/- Off voucher.
> The coupons can be used just once and are valid till January 15, 2014.

I am not gonna apologise cos this is the 2nd time that I am doing it and I know that what I did was just not right...

Everything seem to be falling apart and I just cannot find the spirit in me to blog as I did. But thats not a reason, a responsibility is a responsibility whatever might be the situation and a commitment given should be fulfilled.


I am sorry, truly to all who helped me with the event, the Dalmia group, the sponsors and specially to Shiv, who took all the pain talking to the sponsors and making the event a possibility, sorry for the delay in the roundup. Not to forget you all, thanks to all your support, the event was a great hit. With 274 entries, what else can I say. Thanks for all your support guys... You are the best.

Hudson Canola Oil Hamper ~ a giveaway

Hudson Canola is a standard edible vegetable grade oil, a light oil with neutral taste and flavour. Hudson Canola can be used for all types, methods and varieties of Indian cooking: frying, roasting or grilling. Canola is neutral in flavour and aroma with no distinctive taste or smell. Canola Oil is extruded from the seeds of the yellow Canola flower. Canola Oil has the lowest saturated fat amongst all oils, very high monounsaturated fat, very high Omega-3 and rich Vitamin-E content.

Hudson Canola Oil® comes to you directly from the finest, most sophisticated facilities in the Prairie regions of western Canada, where canola was first discovered. Hudson Canola is brought to you by Dalmia Continental, owners of Leonardo Olive Oil®.

Canola oil has its own health benefits like low in saturated fat and contains both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of 2:1. If consumed it also reduces Low-density lipoprotein and overall cholesterol levels, and as a significant source of the essential omega-3 fatty acid is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Canola oil has been given a qualified health claim from the United States Food and Drug Administration due to its high levels of cholesterol-lowering fats. Source information:here.

Lowest saturated “bad” fats and very high monounsaturated “good” fats, along with high Omega-3 content, have made Canola oil the world’s leading new heart-care oil.

I have already been sent a sample pack and you can see my review here. I have been using it in most of my cooking and the results have been great. Hudson Canola can be used for all types, methods and varieties of Indian cooking: frying, roasting or grilling and even in baking as I did!!!

27coupons.com and a giveaway

Discounts has always been a hit among people. Whatever you buy/order, you first check whether there is a discount coupon attached to it. Take me for example, I love shopping, shopping for dresses, props, toys for the kid, from anything to everything, I love it. Shopping is like an obsession to me much to the wrath of DH. He often quotes that "I'm a pain in the *** when it comes to shopping". Who cares, not that I do not care at all, I care less cos I love shopping and my love doubles when there is a discount, an end of season sale, a buy one get one or two or three mela somewhere. To be frank, I am generally on the lookout for such discounts and if one appears in the daily newspaper nothing can stop me from giving a visit to the store.

Technology is to make your life easier and so they invented deals and coupons, so that you can buy stuff cheap sitting in the comfort of your home. Deals or coupons is one among the many latest hits in the market. Almost all websites and brands are attracting customers with their deal melas. Many websites have their own deals, for instance ebay. Some websites collect deals/coupons and accommodate them in their website, like 27coupons. 27coupons.com is a website where you can find hundreds of coupons on your favorite brands and they come to you ABSOLUTELY FREE. Do check out their list of stores, name a store and you will find it there for sure. The website has a pleasing layout and is easy to navigate and understand that even a layman can get the hang of it in minutes.

I love pizza and I love dominoes and yesterday was pizza time ON A DISCOUNTED PRICE for us, thanks to 27coupons. I am totally in love with the site and will keep visiting it for more coupon codes. And then there is MYNTRA, we shop often from Myntra, tees, caps and shirts for the huss mostly. All those myntra coupons are definitely gonna help us.

And now to the deal that I have with 'em. 27coupons.com are sponsoring 4 gift vouchers of Flipkart worth Rs 250 as giveaways for my readers. Here is what you have to do to win it.
