Kitchen & delivery

From a Madhapur stove to your table before lunch

This page follows a box through the morning: when it is cooked, when it reaches you, how to keep it, and when a question about how you feel belongs with a doctor rather than with us.

Person pouring coffee at a breakfast table with fruit, orange juice and a plate of tortilla chips in tomato sauce — Free in Hyderabad Morning drop, one box a day

Delivery mornings

Five mornings a week, free anywhere in the city

Our riders leave the kitchen in the morning, Monday to Friday, and the box reaches you in time for lunch. There is no delivery on Saturday or Sunday, and there is no delivery charge anywhere within Hyderabad, from Kukatpally to LB Nagar and from Secunderabad to Gachibowli.

When we confirm your plan we agree the starting weekday, the address and a rough morning slot with you. If you will be travelling, tell us a few days ahead and we will move the remaining meals to later dates.

How the food is cooked, counted and kept

Compartment tray with dal, steamed rice, a vegetable curry, salad and folded flatbreads on a wooden table — A Diet Small Meal tray as it leaves the kitchen.

KitchenFully vegetarian: no meat, fish or egg is cooked in it. Dairy, nuts, soya and wheat are used.
PortionsEach component is weighed into the box on a kitchen scale, so a plan's portion stays the same from day to day.
CaloriesRanges are worked out from our recipes and standard Indian food composition data. They are estimates: vegetables and paneer vary a little from batch to batch.
AllergensNamed on the label. Everything is cooked in one shared kitchen, so traces of nuts, dairy, gluten or sesame cannot be ruled out.
On arrivalPut the box in the refrigerator if you will not eat it within two hours.
ReheatingHeat until the food is hot all the way through. Eat it the same day and do not reheat it twice.

Signals to watch

Ordinary adjustment, a doctor's visit, or 112

Changing how much or what you eat can feel different for a few days. Most of it is ordinary. Some signs, however, need a doctor, and a few need help at once. We cannot judge this for you; these lamps only help you decide whom to call.

Usually part of getting used to it

Feeling a little hungrier in the afternoon for the first days
A change in digestion as the share of vegetables or protein shifts
Missing a familiar dish

Drink water, eat your other meals as usual and give it a few days. If it does not settle, read the next lamp.

Book a visit to a doctor

Tiredness, dizziness or headaches that do not settle
Constipation, nausea or stomach pain lasting more than a few days
Unusual blood sugar readings if you have diabetes
Weight falling quickly without you intending it

Stop the plan until you have spoken to a doctor or registered dietitian.

Get help now: call 112

Swelling of the lips, face or throat, or trouble breathing after eating
Chest pain, fainting or sudden confusion
Severe stomach pain or repeated vomiting

112 is India's emergency number. Do not wait to write to us first.

Ten questions

Questions people ask before their first box

Can a meal plan replace treatment or medication?

No. Our plans are food, not therapy. If you are being treated for any condition, keep following your doctor's advice and take your medicine as prescribed. Show the plan page to your doctor if you would like to add one of our meals to your routine.

Will I lose weight on a Yimolub plan?

We cannot promise that. A measured meal can make one part of the day more predictable, but body weight depends on everything you eat and drink, your activity, sleep, health and medicines. Results differ widely between people.

What if a meal causes discomfort?

Stop eating it. Mild bloating or a changed appetite often settle within a few days; if they do not, or if you feel unwell, talk to a doctor. For swelling, breathing trouble or severe pain, call 112. Please also tell us, so that we can check the batch.

When should I see a specialist before or during a plan?

Before you start if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, live with diabetes, kidney, liver or heart disease, take regular medicine or have had an eating disorder. During a plan if you notice any of the signs in the amber or red lamp above.

Is the keto plan suitable for people with diabetes?

That is a decision for your doctor. A sharp drop in carbohydrate can change blood sugar, and doses of some medicines may need to be adjusted under medical supervision. Please do not start the keto plan on your own if you use insulin or tablets that lower blood sugar.

Is everything really vegetarian?

Yes. Our kitchen cooks no meat, fish or egg. We do use milk, curd, paneer and ghee. Jain or no-onion-no-garlic versions are not part of the standard plans; write to us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

Do you deliver on weekends or outside Hyderabad?

We deliver Monday to Friday mornings, free of charge, within Hyderabad. We do not deliver on Saturdays, Sundays or to other cities at the moment.

Can I pause, move days or switch to another plan?

Usually yes, if you tell us a few days in advance. Remaining meals move to later delivery mornings. Switching to another portion size is agreed with you, including any difference in price.

How do I actually start a plan?

Choose a plan and the number of meals on its page and continue, or write to us. We then confirm the plan, start date, address and payment with you by email or phone. Nothing is ordered or charged before that confirmation.

Are the plans suitable for children or teenagers?

No. The portions and the keto and high-protein balances are designed for adults. Growing children and teenagers have different needs; a paediatrician or dietitian can advise.

A note on calories and health

Every Yimolub plan carries a calorie range for one meal, not a forecast for your body or your weight. The site describes our three vegetarian plans, how they are cooked and delivered, and how a measured meal can sit inside an ordinary day. It does not diagnose, treat or replace care for diabetes, kidney disease, heart conditions, eating disorders or any other condition, and a keto or high-protein plan is not a therapy. Results of any change in eating differ from person to person and nobody can promise them. If you are pregnant, take regular medication, live with a long-term condition or notice pain, dizziness or other changes, please talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before and while you follow a plan.
