If you're tired of sad desk lunches and ordering the same biryani for the fourth time this week, let me introduce you to what's been getting me through the Mumbai heat lately. Nara Thai has just launched an Executive Table, which is a proper office lunch set that's mess-free and genuinely good.

I've been working my way through it: green curry with steamed jasmine rice, chicken satay with peanut sauce, chilli holy basil fried rice, a spicy raw papaya salad. It travels well, it doesn't leak all over your bag, and is basically the reason enough for me to become the next Karan Malik.

And then there's dessert. Tub tim grob, sago and coconut pudding, and - the season's delicacy - mango sticky rice drowned in coconut milk, which alone is worth planning your afternoon meetings around. Packages start at Rs 725, and it's available for both takeaway and delivery.
