Tasty and easy to make, but a bit salty
I picked up this pilaf for a quick dinner side, and it was surprisingly good. The rice cooked up fluffy and the seasoning had a nice blend of herbs and spices. It’s super convenient—just add water and let it simmer. Great for busy weeknights. My only complaint is that it’s a bit too salty for my taste, so I usually mix in some fresh veggies or plain rice to balance it out. The portion size is decent and works well as a side dish for two people. Overall, a quick and flavorful option for a fast meal!

Surprisingly tasty and super convenient!
I wasn’t expecting much from this packaged pilaf, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The flavor is savory and well-balanced, and the rice cooks up fluffy without much effort. Big pro: it’s perfect for busy weeknights when I need something quick but still satisfying. I also appreciate that it doesn’t taste overly salty like many similar products. On the downside, the portion size feels a bit small for the price, and I wish it had more vegetables mixed in. Still, it’s a solid pantry staple and I’ll definitely buy it again.

Convenient meal option but lacks depth of flavor
This pilaf mix is a quick and easy side dish that saves time on busy nights. The rice cooks up fluffy, and the seasoning packet adds a nice aroma to the kitchen. It pairs well with chicken, fish, or vegetables, making it versatile. However, the flavor is a little bland compared to homemade pilaf, and I found myself adding extra spices and butter to bring it to life. The portion size is decent, but the sodium content is on the higher side. Overall, it’s a convenient and affordable option, but don’t expect a truly rich, authentic pilaf flavor.

Delicious, prepare in small rice cooker
Easy for my Rice Robot small cooker. Includes a seasoning packet, enough rice for several servings.

So good!👍
I absolutely love this rights peel off. It’s better than the Rice-A-Roni even, and believe me I buy a lot of Rice-A-Roni on here. So easy to cook, only takes 20 minutes, and it’s a few cents cheaper than other places. And worth it getting delivered right to your door instead of having to go out lol just made it last night with some salmon and honey glazed carrots. Such a good meal.

Great taste
The Rice pilaf is light and tasty. I personally prefer this brand over Rice a Roni

Product was as expected. But I ordered and paid for 12 boxes and received only one. Disgraceful.
