There is no shortage of food delivery options in West Philly. You got your pizza/cheese steak standards. Manakeesh has made Lebanese fusion a phone call away. Roost will bring a half a rotisserie chicken and biscuits to your front porch. Now the folks behind New Delhi, the classy Indian restaurant near 40th and Chestnut, will bring you two curry platters for lunch complete with samosas for $8 (plus tax and tip).
The operation is called CurryBox and is available at lunchtime on Tuesday through Friday. The service is targeted at University City employees so the delivery area, which covers Drexel, Penn and USP, only extends west to 46th Street.
A different selection of entrees is available daily, though Chicken Tikka Masala (the only meat entree) is available every day and it’s $1 extra.
Here’s how it works: Order before 10 a.m. Tuesday through Friday and choose your delivery time. You can also place an order after 3 p.m. for the following day. Orders are done online. Done.
They plan to expand the service to Center City soon. Check their website for full details and the menu.
