Real food
Early days, we've only eaten three of our first order. First impressions are that it's real food! Some of the combinations are a bit odd. Enjoyed the cottage pie but couscous with it was an odd choice. The chicken satay is lovely! Will definitely order again

Delicious food and excellent quality
Really impressed with the quality and presentation. The packaging is excellent — I love the divided, resealable tray and the individual lids for each meal, especially as there’s no need to transfer leftovers into another container. I’ve only tried one meal so far, but it was absolutely delicious, flavoursome and felt really high quality. Beautifully presented too!

Tried Homecooks out as I was struggling with energy levels during the heatwave and not eating properly. It's been a lifesaver, the meals are really tasty and feel healthy and well-made. Will be using them regularly to help ensure I eat well when my energy levels are down.

Excellent customer service and fantastic quality meals! I absolutely love the garlic chicken schnitzel and the chicken satay. They’re both delicious and always hit the spot. The lean mean lasagna is also really good. I’ll definitely keep using this company for as long as they keep these menu options. Highly recommended!

Good so far
I have only had 4 meals so far but the food tastes better than the other meal delivery companies I have tried. I think they would benefit from more sides, or a bigger portion because sometimes the calories/protein aren't enough.

Hi,
Thank you for the review, glad we're coming out on top for taste against the competition!
On portion size and calories: fair feedback, and worth flagging that we do offer some larger dishes and higher-calorie options in the menu if you filter for them, might be worth a look for future orders. I'll also pass the sides feedback on to the team.

Did not meet my expectations at all...
The first box I received was completely damaged, soggy & dripping. The silver bubble packaging is definitely not sustainable, or they don't tell you how to recycle it. One of the gell ice packs had split. All the paper dishes are soggy, and I'm not even sure which dish has leaked as they're not secured properly. Maybe all the dishes had leaked. I've just been on to order a second round of meals, and there is hardly any variety, the menu doesn't change enough. Definitely not what I was expecting from all the reviews. They don't even have an app & their website is simple, limited & glitchy when ordering from your phone.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for taking the time to write this and sorry your first box arrived in that state. A leaking box with a split ice pack isn't the experience we want anyone to have, and we'd like to put it right.
If you email us at support@homecooks.app with your order number, we'll refund the damaged box straight away. It also helps us trace which dish leaked so we can fix the packaging on our end.
Sorry again for a poor first impression.

Hi Florencia,
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, though we're unable to locate your account or any order history under this name.
Could you send us your order number or the email address used for the order so we can look into it? We'd genuinely like to understand which dishes fell short and pass the feedback on to the relevant chefs, but we can't do that without linking the review to a real order.
You can reach us at support@homecooks.app.
