"Food is absolutely delicious and the dabba presentation makes so much sense (finally no plastic or lots of wrapping to throw away). I am always looking forward to my Wednesday delivery"

Hi, I'm Anshu
As a working mum, dinner used to be the hardest decision of my day. I had already made thousands of decisions that day.
Work. School. Life. Kids
I grew up in Mumbai, where home-cooked food arrived daily in stacked steel dabbas.
Dinner wasn’t a decision. It was taken care of.
But as a working mum in London, that feeling disappeared. Dinner had become heavy, oily, over-packaged and oddly stressful.
So I built DabbaDrop.
Each week, we cook one fresh Indian menu, the way it’s meant to be cooked.
Balanced, comforting food that fits into busy lives, without the heaviness.
It arrives in reusable steel dabbas, gets swapped the following week, and asks nothing of you.
No choices to make. Just dinner, already decided.
From our kitchen to yours. Your dabba is ready

Proper Indian food, cooked simply and delivered.
Four generous dishes. One meal for two, or three meals for one person.
A curry, a dal or beans, a seasonal veg dish and a grain. Balanced and full of flavour, without the heavy takeaway feeling.
"Yummy food, with authentic flavours and spicing, and no junk or oiliness I love the spicing and dish types, as they are authentically Indian. Each delivery has 3 dishes, plus rice, so with minimal effort I have a delicious treat dinner for 2, cheaper than a takeaway"

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:
- We cook a fresh menu each week.
- You choose your delivery day when you first sign up and we deliver on the same day each week.
- Your dabba arrives chilled, ready to heat and eat. You can eat it in 48 hours after delivery.
- 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.
