What do I receive in a meal-kit?

Each week, your Hello Chef meal kit arrives in our iconic box, packed with everything you need to prepare delicious, home-cooked meals with ease:

  • Pre-portioned, fresh ingredients: All ingredients are measured, pre-portioned, and packed by recipe to ensure maximum freshness and minimal food waste. You'll have everything you need to make your meals - just keep a few kitchen staples on hand like cooking oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Easy-to-follow recipe cards: Each recipe comes with a printed step-by-step card, complete with an ingredient list and nutritional information to guide you through the cooking process confidently.

  • A Hello Chef apron: Cook in style! Your first box includes a complimentary premium Hello Chef apron to get you started in the kitchen.

How do I choose the right box for my dietary needs?

Hello Chef offers customizable meal kits designed to fit your lifestyle and needs. Here's how it works:

  • Choose the number of people you're cooking for: We offer options for 2, 3, or 4 people. If you're cooking just for yourself, you can select the 2-person box and enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day.

  • Pick how many recipes you'd like per week: Choose to cook 3, 4, or 5 recipes each week - whatever works best for your schedule.

  • Tailor your menu to your preferences: Use our filters to select recipes that match your lifestyle - whether you're looking for family-friendly meals, quick dinners, low-calorie, low-carb, pescatarian, vegan, or vegetarian options.

You can adjust your selections at any time, so your box always suits your needs - even as they change week to week.

How is Hello Chef different?

At Hello Chef, we pride ourselves on being known for our commitment to quality and great food, encouraging customers to join our ethos of eating better meals at home. Compared to other services, Hello Chef stands out for:

  • Ingredient Quality and Freshness: We source premium, fresh ingredients - including locally raised, cage-free chicken, ethically farmed beef and lamb bought directly from farms in Australia, and organic eggs. Our vegetables and herbs are delivered fresh daily and sourced locally whenever possible, ensuring both quality and sustainability.

  • Great Recipe Variety: We offer 40 recipes that change every week, covering over 25 international cuisines. This means there's always something exciting, diverse, and delicious to suit everyone's tastes and dietary needs.

  • Food That Suits the Whole Family: Designed with families in mind, our menu includes kid-friendly recipes, comforting staples, and meals even the pickiest eaters will enjoy. We also include tips to get kids involved in cooking! Plus, you can now add a variety of delicious extras to your box - from breakfasts and desserts to kids' lunchboxes, burger kits, and BBQ boxes.

  • Express Recipes- Short on time? Our Express recipes come with pre-prepped ingredients so you can skip the chopping and get a delicious, home-cooked dinner on the table in just 20 minutes.

These features make Hello Chef the most-used meal kit service for home-cooked meals in the UAE.

Is this a subscription service?

Yes, Hello Chef operates as a subscription service - but it's designed with maximum flexibility in mind:

  • No long-term commitment: We're confident you'll love the quality and value Hello Chef offers. But if it's not for you, you can cancel your subscription at any time, free of charge.

  • Skip weeks anytime: Not cooking this week? No problem. You can skip a delivery for any week - or up to 4 weeks in advance - directly from your account.

  • Manage your plan easily: Adjust your delivery day, change your box size, skip weeks, or even pause your subscription if you need a longer break - all in just a few clicks from your account settings.

  • Auto-renewal: As part of the subscription, your order renews weekly unless you make changes before the cutoff time - 12 noon, 4 days before your delivery day.

This flexible approach gives you full control over your meal planning - without locking you into a contract.

How much does Hello Chef cost?

At Hello Chef, we offer delicious meal plans starting from just AED 40 per serving - giving you great value without compromising on quality.


The total cost of your box depends on how many recipes you choose each week and how many people you're cooking for. You can mix and match between 3 to 5 recipes per week, serving 2 to 4 people. The more servings you select, the better the value per meal.
