What is DabbaDrop?
How DabbaDrop works
DabbaDrop is a weekly dinner delivery service, bringing freshly cooked South Asian inspired meals to your door in reusable stainless steel dabbas.
You can choose to have your DabbaDrop weekly or fortnightly. We work on a pre order system, which means you book your meal in advance before we buy ingredients and start cooking. This helps us cook the right amount and reduce food waste in the kitchen.
Payment is taken at 12pm on the Monday before your delivery.
What’s in your DabbaDrop?
Each DabbaDrop is designed to serve 2 to 3 people and usually includes a subzi or thoran style stir fry, a hearty vegetable curry, a delicious dal and perfectly cooked rice.
Our menus change every week and are inspired by founder Anshu’s family recipes from South Asia and beyond. Expect proper, generous food, cooked with care and made to bring a little ease to your week.
What is a dabba?
A dabba is a stainless steel, tiered container, sometimes called a tiffin tin, used across India to carry home cooked meals.
We deliver your food in these reusable dabbas to help cut down on single use packaging. While you are waiting for your next delivery, you are welcome to use yours as a lunch box, for storing leftovers, or even for baking brownies or making shakshuka.
Returning your dabba
The first time we deliver, your meal will arrive in a dabba stack. After that, we simply swap your empty dabba for a full one each time you order.
Please wash your dabba before returning it to us, either in the dishwasher or by hand with your usual washing up liquid. Our riders will remind you to leave it out when they deliver your next meal.
Please also place your ice pack inside your compostable bag when returning your empties.
If you cancel
If you signed up before 2 November 2022, your dabba stack is yours to keep, as you bought it at checkout when you first joined us for £15.
If you signed up from 2 November 2022 onwards, we’ll ask you to return your dabba tins to us. We’ll send you a prepaid returns label to make this simple.
