The weekly meal prep service has been a game-changer for our family. Fresh, healthy meals every day without the hassle of cooking. Chef Ahmad is incredible!
We hosted a dinner party for 20 guests and Chef Priya made it effortless. The Indian-fusion menu was outstanding. Everyone is still talking about it!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the booking process work?
Simply choose your session type (Weekly Prep, Meal Prep Light, Dinner Prep, or Events), pick a date and time, select your chef or let us match you, build your menu from our 16,848-recipe library, and confirm your booking. Your chef arrives at your home ready to cook!
What areas in the UAE do you cover?
We serve all seven Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. We also cover Al Ain and other major residential areas.
Can you accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions?
Absolutely. Every recipe in our library is tagged across 10 allergens (dairy, gluten, tree nuts, eggs, soy, fish, sesame, peanuts, shellfish, plus an allergen-free filter) and 11 dietary profiles (vegetarian, vegan, paleo, kosher, halal, keto, gluten-free, dairy-free, pescatarian, plant-based, omnivore). Set your filters once and every chef on your account inherits them.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance for standard sessions and 1 week ahead for events. However, we often accommodate same-day bookings depending on chef availability.
Can I set up recurring weekly sessions?
Yes! You can toggle the "Recurring Session" option when booking to set up weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions with the same chef. This is our most popular option for families.
Do I need to provide ingredients?
It depends on the package. For some sessions, our chef handles grocery shopping. For others, you can manage your staples list through our app and the chef brings fresh ingredients. This is discussed during booking confirmation.
How do I pay?
We accept all major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and bank transfers. Payment is processed securely through our platform after each session is completed. All amounts in UAE Dirham (AED).
