Here's my quick review on week 1. It didn't look like enough food when we took it out of the box, but turned out we were quite full. Only the chicken tagine and bread required reheating, so it was much more convenient than some of the other takeout meals we've done, and didn't require us to use any of our own pots and pans. While the tagine had good flavor, the chicken was our least favorite part of the meal, as the breast was dry. We really liked the baba ghanouj, which had plenty of olives - usually not something we'd order, as we normally like hummus better. Same for the tabbouleh, great flavor, especially with the charred onions. We both liked the dessert, even though I don't love coconut and my wife doesn't like passion fruit. It was slightly tart, which was refreshing. I expected it to be my least favorite meal of the 3 - it probably will be, but it was still a decent weekday meal.
I didn't realize there was variation between the pickup locations. I was looking at Lakeview.
