When choosing the right option for you, consider the following factors:
Delivery
As options are sparse, finding a reliable meal delivery service Australia wide is challenging. There are a few options available in Sydney mostly in the Eastern Suburbs which deliver locally. However, there may be options outside of standard delivery such as restaurants or cafes in your local area that may be able to accommodate preparing fresh or frozen kosher meals upon request. If there is a kosher restaurant in your area that you love, it may be worth asking for this type of service.
Kosher Certification
It’s important to ensure the meals you are purchasing are made in a kosher kitchen and are certified kosher meals before committing.
If you have particular standards around delivery such as packaging, sealed foods, utensils it’s also important to explore these specifications before ordering.
Price
As kosher-certified food is typically more expensive, it is important to draw comparisons between businesses for their value. This can be decided by the quantity or volume received, if buying multiple meals are incentivised or if delivery costs are included.
Range
As there are still very limited options in Australia for kosher meal deliveries, it is important to scope out the company’s menu range or options. Some menus only offer a selected option of main meals that only offer up to 5-10 options. Whereas some companies offer a variety of options including different options from Shabbat and catering.
