Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 33 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the ease of preparing meals and the clear, simple recipes provided, which helps take the stress out of cooking. Reviewers often find the flavors of the dishes to be great and enjoy the variety of choices available, including options for vegetarians. The convenience of having ingredients delivered to their door is also a significant positive for many. However, some people were dissatisfied with the quality and quantity of ingredients, noting that portion sizes have decreased over time and that produce is not always fresh. There are also frequent complaints about missing items, incorrect ingredients, or recipe cards, which can be frustrating. Delivery issues, such as late arrivals, damaged boxes, or items not being properly refrigerated, are also a concern for a segment of customers.

Greens were not as fresh as I expected and garlic was soft. For the cost of four meals for two, quality was not present. Flavours were great though.

I loved the meals and the easy recipes. Taking the thinking out of cooking is a big win! Everthing arrived fresh

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The easy of it all, from selection your meals to the arrive at your door. The recipes are quick and easy to follow. I also like that the calories are worked out for you.

Food is easy

Affordable meals..
Only wanting it every few weeks as a change means I have to make sure I skip constantly as you opt out not opt in each week. Can end up with orders not wanted

Difficulty with customer support

Generally the food is good and the recipes are tasty and cost is fair. But if you have a complaint beware. Customer support has issues. I had issues with delivery and it is hard work getting them to rectify, refund or credit. One time the box arrived in terrible condition and the food was all very banged up and ice packs damaged and the complaint I lodged was NEVER replied to. When I called to complain the lady I spoke to is defensive and disbelieving. They need to address issues with their delivery contractor when the contents of the box arrive looking like it’s been kicked and thrown around and has been opened. They also need to take complaints seriously to rectify issues and apply compensation when the delivery is in an unacceptable condition. And if they had bothered to help me I wouldn’t be leaving a poor review. One more strike and I am out.

DO NOT PURCHASE A GIFT CARD FOR…

DO NOT PURCHASE A GIFT CARD FOR SOMEONE.
The maximum voucher is $50 and the minimum spend is $60 so your gift will require your friend or family to have to pay from their own pocket in order to redeem your gift.
They also won't allow multiple vouchers to be used in a transaction so buying more than one voucher will on make this more stressful for them.

Australian operated, reliable and delivers as promised

Clear communication, great options, customer service easily accessible and available here in Aus (unlike HelloFresh whose only help is in a overseas call centre where the ingredients seem to come from as old and poor quality). Highly recommended for fast, fresh reliable meal sevice.

Always on time or early delivery

Always on time or early delivery. Excellent meals and simple instructions, I even have my 11 and 12 year old children cooking a meal for the family each week!

The food is fresh and packaged well. If we could select meals to include specific ingredients that would be good, like say ‘add more broccoli’ and if we could have a choice to include 2 vegetarian meals amongs our weekly plan that would also be great.

STAY AWAY.. they rude and have no respect

We ONLY had trail box to start with as my family said to try. So we did

Got the box , and we were happy with the food as it was where in the box plus they left it outside my gate in the sun for 5hrs..

We didn’t know that you had to cancel 7 days prior , so they took money from us even tho we didn’t put order in… so the food was all gone anyway..

We rang them to say , we want our money back as we didn’t out order in as we got txt msg saying the box will be in it was in few days ..

They were very rude on phone and say “no your not getting anything back as the 7 days has pass ect”

We told them we didn’t know about that as we are new to this and our first box was only at TRAIL…

They still “to bad no money”

So we told them well we don’t want the box as it has food in it that we wouldn’t eat ect so don’t deliver it..

They said well yes we have to deliver it as it has Already be packed ect

So Monday comes and the box supposed to come between 3-9pm , I get txt and email saying it is delayed by 24hrs so it be here Tuesday late afternoon..

Then still didn’t show up , then another email saying we should get it now on Wednesday..

We waited 3-9pm still NO BOX..

So my hubby rang on Thursday said “where the box as it didn’t show”

We waited and you didn’t deliver out box as you said..

Then they say “ well you said you didn’t want it so we DONATED IT “

We said well no that not good enough as we paid for that and we kept getting msg saying it was coming but it never was you just donated it WITHOUT TELLING US OR OUR CONSENT..

They said nothing and didn’t care at all.

I’m we disappointed and digested in the company on how they handled this and the was they spoke to us

I have told my family about it and they have no left also and they are disappointed also..

HelloFresh is much better in my eye as they listen and will help you more..

Shame on you Dinnerly!!!

If was me I would go with them..

Hi Mel! We're so sorry to hear that these deliveries were not up to standards. Of course, this is not the experience we work tirelessly to provide, and we would love to use your feedback for active improvements. Dinnerly is a weekly subscription service, but it is always possible to skip weeks, pause your membership for a certain amount of time, and also to cancel your membership - even immediately after your first order. If you need to skip, pause or cancel your account, you will need to do this 7 days prior to the delivery of your next order, depending on your region. Any changes beyond this time cannot be actioned as ingredients have been purchased, and the box begins to enter the production phase. Please feel free to provide your comments to our customer care team at hi@dinnerly.com.au, chat, phone call, or Facebook chat. Thank you in advance!

Inferior to other meal box subscriptions

The "fresh" veggies were far from fresh (not ripe, nearly ready for the bin and/or damaged). The meat was very poor quality. You have to supply alot more pantry items than some of the other companies. The flavour of the recipes were very below average and I'm not even a picky eater. And no recipe cards so made it difficult trying to read a big recipe card that not formatted to be viewed on a phone. Wouldn't recommend.

Awesome service

After having a baby these meals have saved us! So quick and easy to cook a variety of recipes and healthy! Have also managed to lose weight! Only reason for a 4 star is that a couple of time we have received vegetables that weren't fresh and we couldn't use, was fine we just substituted what we had in the fridge/freezer or just left out

Convenience In a Box

Dinnerly is great for convenience, flavour, variety,cost, value for money.
The recipes are easy to prepare and cook. I don't waste any products due to having to purchase large quantities that are not required. And best of all, I don't have to think about what to cook the family for dinner! It's all right there in a box!

Need to be a greater variety of meals

Need to be a greater variety of meals, too many are based around noodles or pasta. Previously
( before add ons etc) more options were available ( even cakes etc).
Serving sizes for 2 people are inadequate (eg only 5 chicken tenderloins), to make a normal size meal, you then need to add lots of side veggies.

Not sure just feel for the meat…

Not sure just feel for the meat selection (unless you pick yourself) is to reliant on chicken. Brings down the quality of the recipes l feel.

Hi Tom, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Our service is mainly meant for you to pick your own recipes, but of course, providing the auto-selection in the event that you don't. If you find that the selections made by the system are too reliant on chicken, and you don't want to be selecting the recipes for each delivery, there's always the option to remove poultry from your taste preferences so that you will only have a chicken recipe if you decide to choose it. Regardless, if you need assistance with it or anything else, don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Care team, who will be delighted to provide assistance. All the best!

Good food & recepies - Some meal portions are on the small side.

Good food & recepies - Some meal portions are on the too small size. (I.e. 1 standard size potato and 1 standard size carrot, plus 1 small chicken fillet for 2 people!) But we like the recepies and the quality is usually good too. Just opp the sizing a bit. (PS: We are both slender, I am underweight so our needs are not excessive. I normally have the opposite problem that I can not eat it all - So the serving mentioned really is to small to cater for 2 people!
