The story
Chef Akila was born in a South Indian village in 1945. His father practised Ayurvedic medicine and taught him that food is medicine, and he says he has cooked for decades. He now lives in Yorkshire with his son, an NHS consultant doctor, and the family set out to offer healthy, tasty Indian food, developing the recipes with doctors and nutritionists.
The kitchen
Everything is hand-cooked from scratch in small batches in the Yorkshire kitchen. The company says it uses no base gravies, ready-made sauces or additives, sources ingredients locally where it can, and blast-freezes each dish within minutes of cooking to lock in flavour.
The range
Expect curries, dals, biryanis, rice dishes and sides and sauces. There are single meals, combo meals for one and party packs for groups, plus vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb and low-calorie collections. Heat levels are marked on the menu, and the site has allergen information for every dish, which is worth reading before you order.
Delivery
Meals travel by DPD courier in insulated boxes, packed with dry ice, and arrive frozen. You pick a delivery day at checkout. The company covers most of mainland UK but not Northern Ireland, the Highlands or the islands, and it lists the excluded postcodes, so check yours first. Delivery charges and the free-delivery threshold are shown on its shipping page and at checkout.
Saving
Any live code is listed on this page. Copy it and enter it at checkout. A bigger order can also be the thriftier route, since delivery costs are spread across more meals and the free-delivery threshold is easier to reach.
Returns
Because the food is perishable, items can't be returned once sent. If something arrives damaged or thawed, or is not as described, contact the company straight away. It promises replacements where the courier is at fault.
Questions about Chef Akila’s Gourmet Ready Meals
Are there any Chef Akila’s Gourmet Ready Meals discount codes?
We don't currently list a confirmed discount code. That doesn't mean the store has no promotions; check its website for current prices.
Does Chef Akila deliver to Scotland?
Partly. Most of mainland UK is covered, but the Highlands, the islands and several Scottish postcode areas are excluded. Check your postcode against the list on its shipping page.
Does Chef Akila deliver to Northern Ireland?
No. Northern Ireland is on its list of areas the courier can't reach in time for frozen food.
How is Chef Akila food delivered?
Frozen, by DPD courier, in insulated boxes with dry ice. You choose a delivery date at checkout and can change the order before the dispatch cut-off.
Are Chef Akila meals vegan or gluten-free?
The menu includes vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free collections. Check each dish's description and allergen information, as a vegetarian dish may still contain dairy.
Can I return Chef Akila meals?
Not once they have been sent, because the food is perishable. If your order arrives damaged, thawed or not as described, contact the company so it can put it right.
Who handles my order?
You complete your purchase with the retailer. For order changes, delivery questions or a refund, contact the seller shown on your order confirmation. Vouchernaut publishes shopping guides and offers; we don't process your purchase.
