We cook locally in a commercially licensed kitchen and are regulated by MDARD. We offer delivery and pick-up options, with clean labels, secure online payment, clear ingredients, friendly support, and minimal commitment. We don’t use preservatives or additives in our meals.
Just heat and eat. High-quality, portion-controlled meals that come in microwaveable, freezer-safe containers.
We shop, cook, clean up, and deliver.
According to the SBA, for every $100 spent at a local business, roughly $68 stays within the local economy. Small business owners live and work in their communities, hire locally, pay local taxes, and produce unique products and services. All of this contributes to a more robust, vibrant community.
We source ingredients only from suppliers that are bonded, insured, and have protocols in place to ensure the safety of our customers.
Our stand is to provide our customers with the best products that we can. We use authentic Basmati rice and ghee for our Indian Fusion meals, along with fresh spices.
If you have allergies, PLEASE make sure to review the meals before ordering. All recipes are thoroughly scrutinized for allergens, and ingredients are clearly indicated on the labels.
We have search filters for that, of course. You can order meals minus your food allergies, preferences, or sensitivities easily. Go to our menu and use the convenient filters to search for dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, shellfish-free, soy-free, and wheat-free meals and snacks.
Our kitchen does process recipes containing dairy, eggs, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts/tree nuts, soybeans, sesame, fish, and shellfish. Items may contain or come into contact with known allergens.
Note: Sauce Nutrition Facts
Our dipping sauces are all made in-house.
Sometimes, our meals can be free of allergens by putting the sauce on the side. So this is super helpful for those of you who are dairy-free.
Everyone has different caloric goals. If you need more calories or more flavor in the meal, add the sauce. Not a fan of the sauce? Perfect, and that’s why it’s on the side.
Side sauces are not included in meal nutrition facts.
If you have questions about ingredients for specific meals, just reach out to us.
All of our meals are dietitian-approved to ensure they work well for most nutritional needs, and all of our ingredients are weighed and/or measured to ensure the most exact calorie and macronutrient content accuracy. So you can track your goals with confidence.
There are several categories to choose from to suit your individual preferences.
You can find all of the details for each meal on our Menu. Link here.
The nutritional details are also located on each meal container.
We offer multiple options for special diets and food allergies. Check out the left-hand drop-down menu on the Menu page.
We also have delicious gluten-free, high-protein, dairy-free, low-carb, and vegetarian meals to choose from. Mix and match as much as you want, or filter what you want to see to make choosing easier. Don’t forget snacks and desserts.
We focus on global flavors and fresh ingredients with healthy fats, lean proteins, and whole grains, minus all refined sugars.
Our prepared meals are made fresh from scratch. They are never frozen.
Our meals are fully cooked to safe internal temperatures. All you have to do is reheat them in the microwave or oven.
Containers are microwave-safe, freezer-safe, BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, reusable, and recyclable.
Remove any soufflé cups containing sauces before heating.
Microwave Heating:
Pop the lid open on one corner, place in the microwave, and heat for approximately 2–3 minutes. Cook in additional 30-second increments if needed and allow to sit for a minute before eating.
Oven:
Remove any sauce cup, then transfer meals to an oven-safe container and heat at 350°F for about 10–15 minutes.
Meals should last about 7 days. All of your meals are labeled with a “Use By” date so you can be sure.
Though not recommended, you can freeze meals and they are good for 3 months in the freezer.
We do not recommend freezing the meals. If you do not expect to eat a meal in the first 3–4 days, you can freeze it.
Once frozen, there is no need to thaw meals before reheating. Just heat for 3 minutes in the microwave and stir contents halfway during heating.
Some sauces do not freeze well, and uncooked greens like salads should never be frozen.
At this time, our meals are made “as is” with no modifications or substitutions allowed.
For custom meals, please consider ordering our bulk and à la carte food options.
We ask that you leave a cooler at the drop-off point to maintain the food temperature if no one is available to take delivery.
When your order is delivered, unpack your meals and slide them right into your fridge. That’s it.

Subscription is the easiest, most convenient, no-hassle, and cost-effective option for joining the family. Subscription guarantees you never have to miss a single week of delicious, wholesome meals. They automatically renew each week without you having to lift a finger.
Subscription pricing is discounted.
You are committing to 3 weekly orders before being able to cancel your subscription.
You can manage your subscription, including skipping weeks, to best fit your schedule. All changes must be made by Tuesdays at midnight EST for your program the following week. This is also when we will charge your credit card, unless you are paused or canceled.
You can pause your subscription at any time or cancel it after the first 3 weekly orders are placed by logging into your account, visiting the Subscriptions page, and clicking the Actions button. There you will have an option to Pause or Cancel.
You must do this before Tuesdays at midnight EST to not receive meals the following week. After that point, the subscription will place the order and the card on file will be charged.
We hope the break is temporary. When you’re ready to reactivate, you can easily resume your subscription by selecting Resume.
If you need assistance, please contact our team via email or by phone. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, but we can’t guarantee changes depending on when we’re notified.
Sure. If you want to skip a week, simply log into your account, go to the Subscriptions page, click the Actions button, and select Pause. The subscription will not place orders until it is resumed.
Simply visit the menu, add items to your bag by clicking the “+” button, and then continue to checkout.
On the checkout page, you can subscribe by clicking the subscribe toggle switch. At checkout, you will be prompted to log in or sign up.
Based on your ZIP code, the site will tell you if the order is within the delivery area, or you can simply select pickup.
We sure do. We offer à la carte bulk proteins and sides for parties, events, or stocking the freezer.

Our weekly cutoff is Wednesday at midnight for Sunday pickup or Monday delivery.
If you have a subscription, the cutoff (subscription renewal time) is 24 hours before, on Tuesdays at midnight.
We understand everyone is busy and can, in most cases, accommodate late orders. However, please reach out to us first, as the menu on the website may be changed to the following week’s offerings.
In that case, we can generally still offer a late order, but by email or text message interaction.
