Been a regular purchaser from 5 minutes to Delhi and I’ve never been disappointed. Their food is of a consistently high quality and delivery is quick too!
I just bought their packets for the entire month. I'm happy with all the curry options. I love that it has no preservatives and taste is same as you eat at home. A couple of curries were spicier than what I eat but putting few drops of lemon juice evened it out!
I really love the subtle coconut flavours in this dish - it really adds another layer that makes it so tasty. I’m trying to stop eating meal deals at work so had this for lunch - boiling water, 5 minutes and done.
Normally I would just grab a meal deal or something for my lunch break at work, but not any more. Add the boiling water from the kettle, wait for 5 minutes, and a hot and tasty lunch is sorted. Now even my work colleagues keep asking to taste it because the smells are just too good

How We Do It
Let customers speak for us
from 64 reviewsPerfect, easy to make meals. Great taste, just the right amount of spice and taste delicious.
These packs are amazing very tasty and quick delivery will be purchasing again
Taste great and super convenient. They are hot. I needed yoghurt to bring the heat down on a couple.
Fabulous things to have in the kitchen cupboard for a quick meal. Can easily add meats, fish etc to bulk out to a full meal. Great to take to work or a hike too. All you need is hot water and you have a tasty meal anytime. They are hot. I don't have a big tolerance for spicey heat because of my English palate but the one and two chilli recipes are still very hot to me. I add in yoghurt or mayo to take it down a notch.

Quick and easy, ready in second. I take them to work and add chicken thighs for an excellent lunch.
This is such a good idea - and so many variations. I will definitely be returning for the chickpea curry!
Took me by surprise delicious
Absolutely delicious I've tried practically the whole range, and they are as good as any takeaway curry I've eaten. I also have holidayed in Goa many times, and the flavours of this range is comparable to the vegetarian food I have eaten there Will be ordering more in the future.
Im a big lover of Indian food and as a vegetarian am always looking for something that stands out from the crowded market. These contain no onion or garlic, which as my wife is sensitive to these is a big plus. I ordered the selection pack and we have tried quite a few. They taste fantastic. If I have a very minor criticism its that they are a bit too spicy for our palet but I've ordered some crean and yoghurt and will temper them down a touch next time around. I will certainly be ordering more.
I only wish I had found this product sooner, get home from work and boom five minute dinner 👍
Super-simple, easy to prepare. Super-tasty. No nasties make it even better. I’ve bought 3 lots of 10 mixed packs now and will buy more 😊
Best thing I've ever bought when you're busy, this product is absolutely delicious I have an Asian best friend and she thinks they are superb.. Much cheaper than a takeaway and more tasty as well. All you need is a bowl of rice and a nan bread and you have a feast.
Took this for a recent holiday as we are vegetarians and prefer familiar foods. The dal makhani and veg Biryani were bang on point with respect to the taste and textures. Would love to try out their other products soon. Hope to see these products available easily on shelves of local supermarkets
Quick , easy and very tasty
FAQS
What about storage and shelf life?
No need to store in the fridge or freezer – just keep them in your cupboard or draw,, out of direct sunlight. Each meal stays fresh for at least a couple of months from time of purchase (best before date found on back of each packet) so you don’t have to worry!
Where are these meals made?
Each dish is freshly prepared in India following traditional, authentic recipes while adhering to rigorous food, hygiene and safety protocols. This is how we guarantee both authenticity of flavour as well as the safety and quality of our food.
What about food hygiene practies and safety?
Our freeze-drying process is followed as per the Food Safety Management System by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), and also the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the UK, our storage facility received a Food and Hygiene rating of 5, the highest possible award for food hygiene issued by a local council.
Do they contain preservatives?
NO! Freeze-drying technology allows us to use natural ingredients WITHOUT losing the taste, freshness and quality of your meals. This is the same technology that NASA use to keep food fresh when sending astronauts into space, and the same process by which instant coffee is produced to maintain its freshness.
What are freeze-dried foods?
Freeze-dried foods are simply foods that have been dehydrated via a process called lyophilization, meaning the water moisture is removed from the food WITHOUT turning it into a liquid - unlike conventional dehydration where foods are HEATED to remove the water. This is a summary of the process:
- Meals are freshly cooked by expert chefs and placed on trays in freeze-drying machine
- Food is frozen, and then a vacuum activates which causes the ice to change directly from a solid to a vapor, without becoming a liquid
- Food undergoes a secondary drying known as ‘desorption drying’, which dries the products to their desired humidity by removing the remaining bound water.
