We are hooked

Loved our first delivery and we are hooked. Proper authentic dishes. Felt like my aunties had sent me food! Can't wait for the next delivery.

Laurie

Done with cold, plastic takeaways

"Every mouthful was absolutely delicious. All that plastic was the main reason we never got takeaways in the past. So looking forward to our next order."

David

Favourite meal delivery...EVER

You're fast becoming my favourite meal delivery ever, and the only one I haven't fallen out of love with... We actively look forward to Wednesday dinners.

Giovanna

The food is delicious

"The food is delicious, nutritious and reminds me of my father's cooking. The tiffin is easy to store, heat up and clean up. Portions are generous."

Sheela

Wednesday with the family, without the cooking

"As parents of 2, nights out as a couple are rare, so this feels like a date night treat in your own home."

Why DabbaDrop

Dinner, Sorted.

Four dishes. One proper feast. No shopping, no chopping, no last-minute scramble for something decent to eat.

Big Flavour. Proper Cooking.

Fresh, vibrant Indian food, cooked from scratch and packed with spice, colour and flavour. The kind of food you'll actually look forward to all day.

Steel Dabbas. Zero Packaging Waste.

Your feast arrives in reusable steel dabbas. Next time we deliver, we collect them, wash them and do it all over again.

Get your Weekly Dabba

The dabba.

For generations, steel dabbas have carried home-cooked food across Mumbai.

We thought London deserved in.

So every week, we fill ours with four freshly cooked dishes and deliver them across the city. Next time we see you, we collect your empties, wash them, refill them and send them back out.

No plastic tubs. No packaging mountain. Just a very good idea that's been working for over a century.

FAQs

What is DabbaDrop?

DabbaDrop is a weekly delivery of fresh, Indian-inspired dinners - cooked by us, ready for you to heat and eat.

Each delivery comes in reusable steel dabbas and is designed to give you one proper, nourishing night off cooking. No recipes, no prep, no last-minute takeaway decisions.

Think of it as home cooking, without having to cook.

How does DabbaDrop work?

It’s simple:

  1. We cook a fresh menu each week.
  2. You choose your delivery day when you first sign up and we deliver on the same day each week.
  3. Your dabba arrives chilled, ready to heat and eat. You can eat it in 48 hours after delivery.
  4. We collect your empty dabba next time and swap it for a full one.

You can pause, skip or cancel anytime. No commitment, no pressure.

How much is DabbaDrop?

A DabbaDrop dinner costs £30 per delivery, plus delivery.

Each dabba serves 2–3 people (or 1–2 generous portions with leftovers), making it comparable to a good takeaway - but fresher, lighter, and designed for repeat midweek eating.

Is this a subscription?

Yes - but a flexible one.

You can choose between a weekly or fortnightly delivery so dinner takes care of itself, but you can pause, skip weeks, or cancel anytime in your account.

No long-term contracts. You’re always in control.

Are you a takeaway or a meal kit? 

Neither.

We’re not a takeaway - our food is cooked fresh, not fried or greasy, and made to be eaten regularly.

We’re not a meal kit - there’s no chopping, measuring or recipes to follow.

DabbaDrop sits in between: proper cooked food, delivered, ready when you are.
