Frequently asked questions

Meal Kits

When will my meal kit be delivered?

All meal kits can be delivered up to any time before 10pm on the nominated delivery day, by our partner DPD. You will be sent a more specific time slot by them nearer to the date of your order so that you can follow its journey. We recommend ordering for the day before you would like to enjoy your kit if you would like it for a specific occassion or mealtime.

Where is my order?

You can track your order through the DPD tracking number; this is included in your DPD dispatch email, which you should receive the day before your expected delivery date. If you haven’t received this email, or your kit should have arrived and it hasn’t, please do let us know by sending an email to store@dishoom.com.

Does the kit contain allergens?

All allergen information can be found on ourdishoom.com/allergen-guide We make every effort to avoid cross-contamination, but sadly can’t guarantee that products are totally free from other allergens. We make every effort to avoid cross-contamination, but sadly can’t guarantee that products are totally free from other allergens.

What is the shelf life?

Our Naan Roll Kits should be enjoyed within 24 hours of you receiving them. Place all items in the fridge on delivery.

When may I have a kit?

Our first-class chefs are producing a limited quantity of kits each day, for delivery seven days a week. We need two days’ notice to prepare and deliver your kit. If the date you are hoping to select isn’t available, this unfortunately means we have sold out on that day. Deliveries will be made prior to 10pm on your chosen delivery date; unfortunately it is not possible to provide a more specific time slot, but DPD should provide tracking information the day before your delivery with more accurate timings. We’re unable to deliver on Bank Holidays.

Where do you deliver to?

We’re able to deliver to customers on the UK mainland (except Northern Ireland), with some exclusions in northern Scotland and Channel Islands, The Isle of Wight and The Isle of Man due to the transit time required. (Meal kits must be delivered to you the day after they’re collected, and some outlying areas can’t be reached by DPD within that time frame.) There is a postcode checker during checkout to allow you to see whether we can deliver to you.

Is it possible to collect a kit from one of your cafés?

Unfortunately not, our kits are prepared in our preparation kitchen in London and therefore we are unable to offer collection.

Is it possible to change my delivery address?

If it is two days or more until your delivery is due to arrive, we can change the delivery address for you. Please send an email to store@dishoom.com and we’ll do our utmost to help.

How is the kit packed?

To ensure tip-top freshness, we prepare and pack kits on the same day as our shipping partner collects from us. They are then delivered to you the following day by overnight courier. Kits are sent with ice packs and Recycled Denim insulation (which is Vegan) to keep everything nice and cool on its journey. Please visit dishoom.com/recycling for information about how to responsibly dispose of the packaging.

I want to order for a party or large group; can I?

Absolutely, we are able to assist with group orders for orders 10 or more fresh kits, please visit store.dishoom.com/group-gifts to request a large order.

Can I make substitutions?

We are not able to offer any customisation or substitutions to our meal kits unfortunately due to the nature of the preparation process. It is possible to add optional extras as displayed on the product page, please see the product page for further details.
