Tiffin for You, an Old Tradition with a Contemporary Twist!
Calgary, Alberta …GreatEvents Group and Office Gourmet Catering are thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new culinary concept for Calgary called “Tiffin for You.” Starting Monday, April 26th, Calgary businesses will be able to order traditional Indian Tiffin Boxes with a fun, contemporary twist.
Filled with East Indian and Western cuisine, including vegetarian options, and prepared fresh daily by Office Gourmet Catering chefs, the attractive containers will be delivered to offices ready to eat for breakfast or lunch. The Tiffin Boxes consist of several stacked stainless steel boxes with a carry-handle, each box containing the customers’ choice of a hot entree, a side, and a dessert.
Recently featured in an episode of “Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares,” Nottingham’s Curry Lounge revived its flagging business in part by launching a successful Tiffin takeaway and delivery service.
The concept of Tiffin box delivery was originally developed in Mumbai, India, where an intricate network of thousands of "dabbawalas" (the closest English translation would be the "lunch box delivery man") has, for over a century, delivered a home-cooked lunch from the kitchens of wives and mothers direct to the city's workers.
“We are very excited to bring this unique, traditional and environmentally friendly concept to the Calgary market,” says Ulrich Kuenz, President of GreatEvents Group. “At the heart of our menu offering is the finest ingredients in an array of both classic and adventuresome dishes that showcase our creativity and commitment to the highest levels of quality.”
For busy individuals and families who want to try the Tiffin Box menus but can’t order them through their office for whatever reason, they will be able to pick up the same meals in a Tiffin Box or in recyclable packaging that can be microwaved or cooked in the oven. These meals are called “Cravings To Go” and are available at GreatEvents Group’s Cravings Market Restaurant (7207 Fairmont Drive SE).
Tiffin for You is an operating division of GreatEvents Group, Calgary’s premier one-stop-shop for catering and rentals since 1982. As the official caterers for Spruce Meadows, GreatEvents is known for incorporating the best and latest food and décor trends. GreatEvents Group is the umbrella company of GreatEvents Catering, GreatEvents Rentals, Cravings Market Restaurant, Office Gourmet Catering and most recently, Tiffin For You.
