Food was delivered on time. Food itself was delicious and very well portioned. A little more expensive than a take away but you can see that quality ingredients were used

It was a great takeaway alternative! We had some lovely Indian dishes, chicken passanda, jalfrezi, aloo gobi and it was very tasty, much more authentic and generous portions. Will order again and tr... See more

Chettinad chicken was too dry with no sauce at all (the pic on the website was deceptive). And it wasn't spicy at all. It was nothing but too big chunks of chicken on the bone. I'll never recomme... See more

Absolutely delicious Indian food

Absolutely delicious Indian food that was so much better than from the supermarket or local take away. Freshly prepared and so much more flavour. We had the Butter chicken, keema lamb and a paneer dish. You can tell it's home cooked. The children demolished them! Definately recommend them!

Reminded me of my Mum’s cooking. The dishes were authentically made to a Caribbean taste like back home.

Fabulous

I’ve ordered once have been most impressed. Quality of food is fabulous complemented by packaging, delivery, instructions of heating, use By dates etc. Ease and simplicity of the app is great. Lovely variety and nice to be able to easily try other cuisines. The fact that it’s home food but the chefs are trained to a certain health and safety and presentation standard is quite wonderful. Most impressed and shall use again. Prices are also reasonable- I was tentative that it would be expensive and out of affordability but it’s not a problem at all.

Wonderful Christmas dinner

Ordered a Christmas dinner and it got delivered promptly the day before with all instructions on how to cook each item. The food was really delicious and very traditional and authentic as well. Everyone enjoyed it.

I ordered Fresh Food, DHL Destroyed it!

I ordered Fresh Armando Italian Food for today, 29th December 2022, DHL collected the parcel Tuesday evening from the Chef? DHL delivered it today, they had not handled the parcel with any care. The biggest concern was the parcel was not cold and it contained 'fresh' soggy garlic bread. I don't think cook my grub, should be supplying fresh food outside the cities were it is prepared if the Chefs are just going to chuck in a box a few days before delivery and deliver by DHL. If I had known this was the standard of food and delivery, I would have gone to a local takeaway and received a much better service I thought I was ordering something special. The food and service charges etc were certainly not worth the £34.34

Hi Martin,

Sorry to hear about your poor experience with the order.

In this instance, there seems to be a lot of spillage which has most likely occurred due to rough handling by our logistics partner DHL. Thank you for tagging them in your tweet as it helps bring attention to this issue which has been caused due to improper handling of the package. We will escalate this further with their management to ensure this does not happen in the future.

To clarify the freshness question, the email you received on Tuesday night is just a heads up that DHL are expecting the parcel. The food was cooked on the delivery day morning and chilled before being handed to a DHL delivery driver in the evening. The temperature of the food is maintained through the delivery by being packed with ice packs while being kept in insulated packaging.

As we use the priority service from DHL, the food would have arrived in the morning to you. Unfortunately, it arrived in an unsatisfactory condition with a significant amount of spillage. We are escalating the issue with DHL to ensure this does not happen with future order.

Regards,

Support Team

Cook My Grub are totally useless. Please don't ever use them

I Placed my first order a week ago for delivery today 23 December.
I received confirmation that the courier DHL had received my order on 21 December (2 days before my confirmed delivery date) of 23 December.
Bearing in mind this is meant to be Freshly prepared, cooked food which will have been stored with DHL for a full 2 days.
I received an email from Cook My Grub today confirming my order would be delivered today 23 December between 9-5.
When it got to 3.30pm I started to get worried as I had a family meal planned with my food order today, so I checked the DHL website and it said that my order would not now be delivered until 24 December due to delays.
Unbelievable!
So now my so called freshly prepared food order will now have been sat with DHL for over 3 days.
I received no notification or communication from Cook my Grub that my order was delayed & had to find out for myself after waiting in all day for delivery.
Now I have no order, no food & my planned family meal is ruined.
Also what state is my food order going to be in anyway after being with the courier for over 3 days.
Absolutely disgusting service!
I will not be ordering with this company ever again.
I would strongly advise everyone not to use this company, they are a an absolute joke!
Stick to Just Eats, Deliveroo or similar but please don't waste your time & money ordering with Cook my Grub as they cannot be trusted & your plans will be ruined.
They really are completely & utterly useless.
Fresh food delivered on the day, what a joke!
Very frustrated & unhappy!
They will do nothing either to resolve.

Hi Gary,

Sorry to hear about the poor experience you had with your order. We tried our best to ensure the food was delivered on time. However, due to the delays on our logistics partner's(DHL) side, the food didn't arrive on time.

To clarify the freshness question, the email you received on Tuesday night is just a heads up that DHL are expecting the parcel. The food was cooked the day before delivery and chilled before being handed to a DHL delivery driver. The temperature of the food is maintained through the delivery by being packed with ice packs while being kept in insulated packaging. As we use the priority service from DHL, the food should have arrived this morning to you. Unfortunately, due to delays on the DHL side, this was not the case.

As a token of apology, our team has reached out to you with a credit voucher for a replacement order.

Regards,

Support Team

I don't think I'd use this service again

I don't think I'd use this service again - I've noticed the reviews on the chefs are all fake as they are exact copies. I ordered one meal, and it was just fine. It gets messed up in transit and cooking instructions on website very vague.

Edit: To reply to their comment, the reviews have different names and are across different chefs, but the exact same wording. This makes me think they are fake. Also, they've flagged my review as "not genuine" so are clearly trying to remove unsatisfactory experiences.

Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review about Cook My Grub.

Reviews on our website are collected every time an order is completed and is done via an automated notification to the customers app. This is sent on every order. As customers develop a taste for a particular chef, it is quite common for them to review a chef more than once. We don't see why they shouldn't as it shows their trust and confidence in the chefs cooking and the chefs in turn appreciate the feedback!

We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience ordering from us. Please get in touch on our support email to help us resolve your exact issue.

Regards,

Customer Support Team

Home cooked food

Enjoying the home cooked food as currently unable to cook. Love that there is a variety of dishes and not just the regular run of the mill dishes that you get at a restaurant.
