EatRight.lk is a delivery site with an exclusively healthy menu, from healthy wraps to healthy kottu. It's also got a lot of info on it to help you stay fit.
Eat Right is a cool new delivery website made for healthy living. You get to pick from a range of healthy salads, wraps, sandwiches, rice and curry - and even healthy kottus, while you can also get health tips and calculate your BMI on the site.
Besides Eat Right, Infinity Cuisine and Healthy Living also does health food delivery.
Everything on the menu is for Rs. 450, whether rice and curry or sandwich. When we called the hotline, they told us we'd have to order a minimum of five dishes - but they could be spread out over the days, so you're kind of coaxed into eating healthy for the rest of the week too. This means about 2000 bucks for five healthy meals across your week.
We got a chicken wrap, and this was as healthy as it gets (save for the roti carbs) - soft thin roti totally loaded with fresh bell peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, and long thin slices of lightly cooked chicken. It was quite tasty, crunchy, though personally it was a little bland compared to the usual spice in my food, so I had it with a side of tomato sauce.
The red rice with fish and curries was more enjoyable, given that it was really well flavoured and spicier. The veggies included cabbage, pathola and brinjals, and the veg to rice ratio was like 3:1. So there's much less rice here than ordinary rice packets, but on the other hand, that's healthier, and personally was still filling because of all the vegetables.
The seafood salad was a hefty bowl, basically a fresh cool garden salad, speckled with plenty of fishy chunks. The seafood wasn't what we expected though - the stock photo on the site promised prawns et al, but there were just indistinguishable fishy chunks that didn't carry much flavour. Still, the salads are probably the healthiest type of meal you can have on the menu.
We left the best for last - the chicken kottu. They've also got fish and veg kottu on their dinner menu. Kottu in Sri Lanka is now a dinner staple and a late-night favourite for most, but it usually comes heavily tossed in cheese or milk or both, sometimes greasy from oil, and health is the last thing you're considering when you go out for kottu.
So the Eat Right version of kottu is cleaner - the chicken seemed very lightly cooked and dominated by the vegetables (carrots, pathola, beans), and the portions were thankfully large, keeping with ordinary kottu standards. The kottu roti itself is carbs, but if you're craving kottu, this is a healthier, less-guilt version.
The website and the hotline are well maintained - you get the feeling that they care about your eating schedule, not just the product you're purchasing. On the website, you get some useful information on the importance of staying healthy along with a body-mass-index calculator to keep check on your weight - if you don't care about that stuff, just click on the 'Lifestyle' tab for the delivery menu.
They deliver at standard breakfast-lunch-dinner times (6AM, 12PM, 8PM), and you have to call a day before to plan it out. Delivery was sharp on time and the stuff was carefully packaged - the roti wraps were double sealed to prevent spillage, and they all came in Eat Right tote bags.
Healthy eating seems to be a new trend in Colombo (Calorie Counter, Health Factor, Healthy Living), and though McDonald's will always have its popularity there's a growing number of folks now concerned about their health. Eat Right is one of the handful of places that specialize in health-conscious meals so we're glad it's around - plus you can get it brought to your doorstep and make healthy eating a habit with their 5-meal plan.

The biggest problem with all these health food places is, they are over priced…why don't they understand simple consumer behavior….ppl are not going to go out for dinner to a health food place and spend big…rather they would like to adopt it into their daily meal plan, and ppl are not going to pay 500 bucks per meal, every single day, when they can get a normal meal for a third of the price…I am prepared to go healthy everyday, but the prices are ridiculous

Eating healthy/organic unfortunately costs a lot anywhere in the world…why do you think junk food is so cheap on the flip side? Its prepared with less standards/quality overall therefore the price is also lower.
This is the price of a late night roast chicken cheese koththu packet but far higher than your 150-200rs rice packet range. But we are not talking about that kind of lifestyle choice here.
These are catering for different target markets and demographics entirely. If you want to eat a healthy and portion controlled lunch you are out of luck outside these options and this price range!

True that Saaj77. Eating healthy seems to be more of a fad still hence the cost. If they b come mainstream the cost should come down.
A simple garden salad should be the cheapest food available… Unfortunately it's not.

Healthy n tasty. Portions well worth for the price.

Cheese and Milk in standard Kotthu ?????? Really ?
ML
Actually, a simple green salad, just the ingredients alone cost more than a bowl of rice. So to make a salad filling enough as a meal, is far more expensive than a rice and curry pack. Cooking fresh, with less oil also means shelf life of the meal is low. So the costs add up, and hence why healthy meals cost more. Not just a fad… It's the sad but true state. If u are committed to healthy eating, but can't afford it delivered, perhaps best to make your own!

You guys should check out the new Eat Right restaurant that opened up just below the High Octane Gym in Kohuwela.

Hey guys,
If you are looking for healthy food that does not compromise taste to achieve it's target then Organico guru is the place to go. unfortunately i did not come across them untill very recently. So i decided to share this information with everyone. They have a variety of product ranging from ethically-sourced Vegan, Dairy-free, Gluten free, Sugar free, Nut free and Egg free products - so that in every sense of the phrase, there really is something for everyone. here's a link to there site, https://www.organicoguru.com/all-specialties.
Pretty affordable price range aswel.
Stay Healthy peeps!

First of all this is NOT Organic!! You better get that to your brains first . I know because I met a chef who used to work here. Therefore this food is obviously overpriced!! Mostly you get raw food, like their chicken wrap & Salad for example! Potions are very small for that overprice! If you order daily they will mix-up the order or get it to you very late until you scold them few times. Some food tastes good but if you consider calories this might not be accurate at all for certain foods like kottu. So overall, if you have money (which you should, to eat here) for god's sake go to the supermarket and make your own salads and experiment on healthy food! If you don't have time to take care of your own body that make you rich…bummer….but at least get a servant to do all this because when you calculate the cost it is cheaper!! Again this stuff is not organic, same stuff you get from the supermarket!
