I’ve recently discovered DabbaDrop who must be the most eco-friendly food delivery I know. We all recognise the importance of reducing waste. So it’s hard when we need something convenient but the usual takeaways have such a negative environmental impact. DabbaDrop was created to turn that on its head, whilst still making delicious and healthy dishes. So let me tell you more about why DabbaDrop has been a game-changer for me.

Their Clever (and Delightful) Solution to Plastic Waste

DabbaDrop’s ingenious solution is to deliver all items in reusable tiffin tins wrapped in a lovely colourful cloth. The oven-ready tins are stainless steel meaning not one bit of plastic in sight! This is such a welcome change from the usual mountain of greasy plastic tubs and bags at the end of the evening.
Their team simply collects the empty tins next time they’re round which means it’s all completely reusable and no-waste.
As a result, DabbaDrop has up to a 75% smaller carbon footprint compared to normal takeaways.
Overall, the packaging from DabbaDrop is clean, eco-friendly, and reusable. What more could you ask for?

Delightful touches - your meal comes in reusable (and oven-ready) metal tiffin tins wrapped in colourful cloth.

Their Very Own Team of Delivery Cyclists

The rising CO2 emissions in today's world are extremely harmful to our planet. DabbaDrop literally goes the extra mile by having their own team of friendly cyclists who come to deliver your food. As someone who tries to do better for the environment, I give DabbaDrop extra points for having their own cyclists!

We love that their team delivers by bike - a great idea that's good for the environment.

100% Plant-Based and Planet-Friendly

DabbaDrop’s 100% plant-based meals are packed full of healthy ingredients and seasonal vegetables. Cutting down on meat and dairy is an excellent way to do your bit for the planet. DabbaDrop have found a way to make such delicious food that even the most stubborn meat-eaters won’t feel like they’re missing out!
These healthy ingredients will reduce the chance of you feeling tired and greasy after you’ve eaten. Other food deliveries may often leave you with ‘meat sweats’, but not DabbaDrop.
Also, I love that they give you generous portion sizes with plenty for everyone to enjoy (and often enough for lunch the next day).
I’ve used DabbaDrop 3 times, and I can't wait to order again!

A Friendly London Team Always On Hand To Help

You can place and manage your orders from DabbaDrop’s easy-to-use website. And if you have any issues, their team is always there to help. (Also, each time I’ve ordered, the cyclists have been super friendly!)
I love supporting local businesses. So seeing the whole operation stemming from two local entrepreneurs, Renee and Anshu put a smile on my face. They’ve been working for over 5 years to build something unique that fixes the problem of greasy, plastic-laden takeaways that’s bothered them for years. And DabbaDrop does just that!

A Wide Variety Of Tasty Homemade Options

Speaking from my experience, I’ve had several dishes from DabbaDrops’ excellent menu of heirloom recipes. And they tasted great every time! Each dish carries its own authentic South-East Asian taste. With the origins of dishes ranging from Southern India to Pakistan to Goa, DabbaDrop is bound to have something that’ll tickle your fancy.
My personal favourite is ‘Kerala’. It was so delicious that my non-vegan partner had almost finished their meal before realising there wasn't any meat or dairy in it!  Finally, we've found something we both love that’s 100% plant-based.

Wrapping Up

I must admit that I had my doubts. But after trying DabbaDrop a few times it’s been a total game-changer. It's tasty, healthy and the most eco-friendly food delivery option I know. So I’d highly recommend DabbDrop to Londoners looking for all the wonderful enjoyment of an indulgent takeaway without the plastic waste or guilt.
