How do I order batch meals?
Batch meals can only be ordered through Cookaborough . Simply create an account, subscribe to Dabba Cartel, and place your order by Wednesday 10PM for Friday delivery. The menu changes every two weeks to showcase different culinary traditions.
What's the difference between your daily delivery and batch meal services?
Daily delivery brings fresh, hot family-recipe meals in reusable dabbas to your door each workday (Monday-Friday), ideal for immediate consumption. Batch meals are delivered once weekly, providing multiple authentic meals that can be refrigerated or frozen and enjoyed throughout the week at your convenience.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
We offer vegetarian options regularly on our menu based on authentic vegetarian traditions. While we try to accommodate common dietary needs, our kitchen handles various ingredients. Please contact us directly about specific allergies or dietary requirements, and we’ll let you know if we can safely accommodate them.
How do the reusable dabbas work?
When you receive your first meal, you’ll get our signature stainless steel dabba that connects you to a global tradition of food delivery. For subsequent deliveries, we’ll collect your empty, rinsed dabba and replace it with a fresh meal in a clean dabba. This zero-waste system honors traditional food delivery methods while eliminating single-use packaging.
