The dabba: a Mumbai icon, reimagined for London

For over a century, dabbas have been part of everyday life in Mumbai - stacked metal tins carrying the kind of home-cooked food people actually look forward to.

We’ve brought that idea to London.

Your DabbaDrop arrives in a reusable steel dabba, filled with fresh Indian food cooked properly - then swapped the following week for a new one.

No waste. No clutter. No extra decisions.

Just good food, delivered with care.

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.
