Frequently Asked Questions

Healthy Indian Ready-to-Eat Meals, Delivered Fresh to Your Door Step.

How should I store my meals?

Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on each pack. Put frozen products in the freezer promptly on arrival and refrigerate chilled products immediately. Bring your delivery inside as soon as possible. If the label is missing or unclear, contact us before storing or preparing the product. We do not specify one freezer shelf life for every meal.

How do I reheat meals in the microwave?

Follow the instructions on your specific product's label, including any thawing directions. For example, Butter Chicken (400g) lists 1–2 minutes on high. Bread and rice instructions differ: Basmati Rice (300g) lists 20–30 seconds, and Roti/Chapati lists 30–40 seconds. These are product-specific guides, not universal cooking times from frozen. Check that food is hot throughout before eating; appliance performance can vary.

Can I use the oven?

Check your pack's instructions and use an oven-safe dish unless the packaging specifically states it is oven-safe. Butter Chicken (400g), for example, lists 170°C fan-forced or 180°C conventional for 10–15 minutes. Breads and rice have different heating times. Do not apply these times to every product or assume they apply from frozen.

How many servings are in a pack?

Check the serving information for the item you choose. Butter Chicken (400g), Bhindi Masala (400g) and Chicken Biryani (400g) each list two 200g servings. Basmati Rice (300g) lists two 150g servings; Aloo Paratha (2 pcs) and Besan Chilla (250g) each list one serving per pack. Your portion needs may vary, and accompaniments are separate unless the product listing says otherwise.

Where can I check ingredients and allergens?

Read the ingredient list and allergen statement for each product before ordering, and check the pack before eating. Recipes differ: Butter Chicken contains cashew and milk, while Roti/Chapati contains wheat and milk. Several products also carry may-contain warnings for peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, wheat, milk and soy. A vegetarian label does not mean a product is free from allergens. If you have an allergy or are unsure about an ingredient, contact us before ordering.

How spicy are the meals?

Spice and chilli content vary by recipe. We do not give every meal a mild, medium or hot rating. Check the ingredient list and any product-specific guidance, or contact us before ordering if you are sensitive to chilli.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver weekly to eligible addresses in Sydney, Blue Mountains and Outer West Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Not every suburb or postcode in these regions is covered. Enter your full address at checkout to confirm availability. See our Shipping Policy for delivery days and time windows.

When should I place my order?

Order by Sunday at 11:59pm Sydney time for the following week's delivery run. Orders placed after the cutoff go into the next weekly cycle, not the run immediately following a Monday order. Your delivery day is confirmed by email. See our Shipping Policy for details.

How does free shipping work?

Our current Shipping Policy lists free delivery for orders of AUD $100 or more to eligible delivery addresses, and a $14.99 delivery charge for orders from $80 to $99.99. The listed minimum order is $79.99. Regional coverage restrictions still apply; free delivery does not mean Australia-wide delivery. Enter your address and check the final delivery charge at checkout, including after applying any discount code. If an advertised $99.99 offer or your delivery charge differs from the policy, please contact us before paying so we can confirm the offer for your order.
