The dabba: a Mumbai icon, reimagined for London
The dabba has been part of Mumbai life for over a century - stacked metal tins carried across the city, filled with the kind of home-cooked food people look forward to all day.
We’ve brought that spirit to London.
Your DabbaDrop arrives in one of these iconic tins - filled with fresh, feel-good Indian dishes cooked properly, and swapped out every week for a new one. No waste. No fuss.
Just good food, carried with the same care it’s always had.
About Us
We’re Anshu & Renée and we started DabbaDrop because we loved curry night, but hated what it had become.
Too heavy.
Too oily.
Too much packaging.
And never as fresh or flavourful as the food we grew up with or cooked at home.
So we decided to make curry night better.
Inspired by the dabba system in Mumbai - a century-old network that delivers home-cooked meals across the city - we built a version for London. One that carries proper food made with real care, not shortcuts.
Every week, we cook one fresh Indian menu the way it’s meant to be cooked:
slow bases, layered spices, bright veg, big flavour - without the heaviness.
It’s packed into reusable steel dabbas and delivered to your door, then swapped out the next week.
Our mission?
To bring honest, home-style Indian cooking to modern homes, without the oiliness, the overwhelm, or the bags and boxes that never felt right.
This is food that tastes incredible and feels good.
Food that makes dinner easy, but still feels like something to look forward to.
A weekly ritual worth keeping.
From our kitchen to yours, your dabba is ready.
