Ongoing disappointment with their plant based meals - their chefs do not taste the meals (they couldn't possibly with what they then put out) and are not competent in plant based cooking. This week no communications just a missed delivery - no meals, no word from the office, nothing. read more

Westerly Kitchen - Example of "Szechuan style chik'n and jasmine rice" dinner. Note no plant based chicken, canned beans, peas, and yes the rice is there - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food, easy set up and delivery. I was doing a contract for work and Westerly made eating healthy in a hotel room

Delicious food. Fresh. Substantial portion sizes. I tried out the 3 meal a day wellness meal plan and I enjoyed every meal! I am very active and was worried about there not being enough food but I felt satisfied after each meal and the cookies are so yummy. Seamless delivery and great presentation of all the food! read more

Overall, the food is healthy, tasty, and convenient. Delivery with care, and use sustainable containers.

I cannot say enough good things about Westerly and their meal delivery service. I have been a subscriber with them for about six months now, and I have never has any issues. Their website is easy to use, and on the few occasions I've had to speak with customer service regarding a question about pausing an order or with help in regards to accommodating a nut allergy, they have been quick to respond, incredibly friendly, and very helpful. Now, let's talk about the food. Absolutely delicious! I love that they have a good mix of interesting cuisines, and that every meal is gluten and dairy free. Over the course of the six months that I have been a subscriber, I've only had about five or six meals that I didn't personally care for, and that wasn't because they weren't good, just my own personal preference. Lunch is always a delicious salad of some form (with a protein), and twice a week lunch also comes with a delicious soup. Their dressings are always so yummy, and you'd never guess they are dairy free! The dinners are SO good! I'd pick a favorite, but honestly, there have been too many to name here. Additionally, there is enough variety and variance in their menu that I've never felt bored with my meals, even after six months. I love that their packaging is 100% compostable, even the stickers they use! Another bonus is that they reuse the bags and ice packs they deliver your food in. On the days that I have a food delivery from them, I simply set the previous order's bag and ice packs outside, and they take it with them after dropping off my new order. I really love this. I have used other services in the past, but I hated all of the waste from the weekly packaging and trying to dispose of the used ice packs. I should also mention that deliveries come twice a week, so your food is always extremely fresh, and the handful of rotating delivery drivers they use are all incredibly friendly and professional. Pricing wise, I actually spend less than I do at the grocery store. I think this is because when I'm at the grocery store, I'm often tempted by all of the snacks and goodies in front of my eyes, and end up putting way more in my basket than I actually need. If you are looking for a local healthy, fresh, gluten/dairy-free, eco-friendly meal delivery service, you really need to try out Westerly! read more

Honestly surprised at how yummy Westerly is. Flavor profiles always changing and yummy. I feel healthy and full after a salad. It's not cheap, but feels like an investment in health, and saves us so much time. My favorite part is no decision fatigue. I know it's going to be yummy and it just appears. Delivery is also really easy to understand - love the text alerts. read more

Good food, great customer service. Easy to manage subscription. Lots of variety and delivered securely and kept cold.

food is delicious with plenty of variety to keep things fresh. love the compostable packahing and sustainability. I can taste the love in every bite, they are clearly real people who care. These meals really helped me get through some very difficult times with grace and im very grateful read more

Love it. Healthy, mostly raw and minimally spiced food. Portioned as well so I can avoid over eating

The menu is consistently delicious! I found them through social media. I'm very impressed. The chefs (well everyone down to marketing) deserve a forehead kiss every day for the rest of their lives. read more

Wow. I am blown away with this fresh the meals are. They were so accommodating to me when I was a few minutes late to pick them up. They have a parking area in Georgetown and I was able to stop by. I love that they are labeled. It's totally worth getting the nice reusable bags and ice packs. I am telling everyone to try them. read more

The delivery service is good. They're always on time with deliveries. That's good. I like the lunch salads. Decent variety, easy, healthy. Periodic soups included are welcome. We will stick with the salads because they're convenient and taste good. If you need a plant-based diet, there's some good variety which is welcome, as the diet can be limiting. If you need that, it works well. But if you eat the regular "wellness" food, that's another story. For breakfast, their food is really underwhelming. A scoop of eggs, sometimes dry pastry, a patty of sausage sometimes, a microscopic cup of fruit sometimes. There are occasionally beans in the mix, which is pretty unappetizing for breakfast. Not in any way worth the money. For dinner, it's gross most of the time. The meat is fatty and overcooked. Almost always it's filled with greasy rice and overcooked broccoli. They need to *completely* rethink the menu. I feel absolutely terrible throwing away food, but I've lost count how many times I've had to. Edit: I'm adding one star because of the positive and welcoming response to my less-than-lovely feedback. Thanks for the offer, Annalicia. read more

I've been a customer for several years and have been consistently impressed with the quality of food, variety of meals, and exceptional customer service. On the RARE occasion that something has been off (I.e., they forgot about a food preference), they have always addressed the issue quickly and generously. I've tried several meal services (local and otherwise) -- this team is hands down the best. read more

Great service! I've tried Freshly, Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and other auto-meal-delivery services in the past. This fresh, local option is so much better. No thawed out, watery meals. No unbelievably wasteful packaging. The meals are clearly labeled telling you which specific meal to eat for which meal on which day. The customer service is responsive in a way only locally owned companies can do. A+, sign up. read more

If you're looking for a meal delivery company that's local, has great food and incredible customer service, you found it. Cooking and eating out used to be a huge part of my life, but I got so busy with work I haven't been able to do either. Westerly has the variety, flavor and quality of ingredients that I never thought I'd get in this kind of service, highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation. read more

Gah! I can't begin to explain how this simplified my week. Usually I meal prep for me and my boyfriend on Sundays and Wednesdays - and my delivery week made my life so much easier - I actually gained back 6 to 8 hours where I don't need to shop or make meals in bulk. I expected the portions to be similar to what I've seen from weight watchers ads - you know, small and not at all filling. I was surprised that I got a hearty meal that was LARGE. Even for my boyfriend, who has been known to eat mountains of food, was full and energized for his work as an arborist. This service is a good thing for your health and for your time. read more

I tried a few other meal services and this is by FAR the best. Local (so my meals don't travel across states to get to me), sustainable (all compostable packaging, reusable bags and ice packs), and delicious. I love the variety of the meals and am also able to slightly customize based on my preferences/restrictions. I've tried others that claim to do this only to find that they use quite a bit of single use plastic or significantly under deliver on the quality and variety of meals (for twice the cost). They also seem to have an amazing logistics/operations team as any (minor) issue I have had has either been remedied promptly or quickly or solved before I even knew there was one. I made the mistake of trying another service since finding Westerly and am now deeply regretting my decision and can't wait until that order commitment is filled so I can eagerly return to Westerly. read more

Westerly is the real deal! If you're looking to begin a healthy new chapter but aren't sure where to start this the perfect solution. The meals are amazing, filling and always changing. I'm never bored and always look forward to my delivery! read more

Lunch and dinner time is now a highlight of my day I wanted to give this service a try because im not very skilled at cooking to the right kind of textures and flavor balances that I prefer. These meals are at a really good price point, considering the variety and quality of the cooking. I'm gluten and dairy free, and could never find this kind of quality and variety at restaurants even. read more

I cannot say enough about how much I am loving this meal service! I was one of those people that always had the best of intentions and bought amazing ingredients and then threw most away at the end of the week because I didn't have time to actually make proper meals. My freezer became overflowing with, "this could go in a smoothie" ingredients. I work two jobs and i have very little time, but I want to be healthy and stick to a non dairy and no gluten diet and this service is PERFECT for that. The meals I have enjoyed are absolutely delicious, colorful and full of flavor. Don't hesitate to try this meal service out. read more

I am on my second week of Kerala's plant-based meal delivery program and it has exceeded my expectations. The meals are hearty and flavorful, and the variety encourages me to eat vegetables I wouldn't normally eat or cook at home. Being in lockdown for the past 3 months, and limiting most of our grocery shopping to Amazon Fresh pickup, my husband and I were getting really bored with our dinner routine. This was just what we needed. I also love not having to clean up afterward. Even not having to think about "what's for dinner tonight?" is a huge mental energy saver. Thank you!! read more

This meal delivery service is so good that I could shed tears! The food is very healthy, tasty and it is so satisfying that it doesn't make me overeat with other stuff! read more

New customer, great initial experience. A few things set them apart from other services I've tried: - Food has arrived fresh and well-packaged and reasonable portion sizes. - The salad dressings, soup are well-seasoned which is saying a lot for gluten and dairy free food. Sometimes it seems like GF/DF approach to cooking is to add ridiculous amounts of garlic or heat to distract from the lack of creativity. But whoever is doing the seasoning here gets how to make the most of the ingredients. - Ability to opt out of other common allergens (for me, sesame, for example) gives me peace of mind. - 2x per week delivery so that (especially for salads) there's no chance of things spoiling by the end of the week. - Local. Always nice to support a local business, especially when they surpass the national brands. - Reasonable pricing - meal services are never cheap, but given the price of groceries nowadays, their meals cost about what I'd pay to buy the ingredients at the store and cook them. I've already converted to a subscription and will keep using them for 1 meal/day for now. read more

Pandemic eating has burned me out on my own cooking--particularly grocery shopping and dishes--and I cannot take any more "take out" restaurant food. Bored, tired and bloated I decided to try a meal service. Westerly is really good. Ordering is easy, delivery is truly perfect; the food is tasty, with great variety and healthy. I am satisfied with each meal. I used the service for a couple of weeks in 2020 and I picked up the service again in February. read more

During a period of recuperation, I had no ability to shop nor cook for many weeks. A friend gave me a heaven-sent Westerly gift card! I love cooking and had no idea (nor need) for meal services. However, given my physical limitations, Westerly came as a surprise rescue. We are vegetarian, enjoying a high standard of organic food, so the plant-based option suited us well. Using Westerly for a couple of weeks during my recovery worked well as they do not insist upon financial commitments. Therefore, this is a super option for visitors to Seattle. One can halt orders for a while, and return later when needed. Westerly is a great option (and gift) for busy folk, workers with limited time, when you need reprieve from shopping, prep and cooking time - or just to have a break from the kitchen. Menu options that had something one can (literally) sink your teeth into (eg. patties, vege balls, seared tofu, vegan cheese) were just right. Packed salad bowl options needed supplemental protein to fill us up. Westerly efforts to be sustainable operates on multiple levels. They source locally, create menus based on these local finds, and support the local economy (win-win) . The compostable packaging is an almighty relief as we are so sick of the plastic take-out containers that re-emerged during the pandemic. Westerly became a part of our care team at a time when we needed it most and for this, we are deeply grateful. read more

Kerala went above and beyond to deliver several meals over the course of a few weeks to friends who lost a loved one during this difficult time. Due to social distancing we couldn't do a meal-train or potluck and were looking for a way to support our 2 friends and their 2 young children. Kerala was the best option and we are so glad we went with them. Our friends loved the meals and how thoughtful the packaging was. Now a few of us in that friend group plan to order future meals fro Kerala. read more

I've been receiving meals through Westerly for many months now and am consistently delighted with the quality of the food I receive. My favourite dishes are the salads from the wellness menu; they're healthy, but filling enough that I don't feel like I'm missing out just because I had a salad for lunch. I also really like the curry-inspired dinners -- super flavorful! Everything arrives fresh and travels well which makes it easy for me to bring meals to work. Honestly, I never cook, so I probably would have starved by now without them. Definitely recommend this service. read more

This service is GENIUS. LIFE-CHANGING. I have tried Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, multiple other companies and nothing has come close to the ease, tastiness, and eco-friendliness of this spectacular company. My partner works a ton and I have a chronic illness. Eating healthy is very important to us but we never have the time or energy to cook, even the pre-packaged meal kits ready to toss together seem to end up going to waste. This service has been a serious game changer and has improved our quality of life more than I thought a food delivery service could. THANK THE GODS FOR THE ANGELIC BEING WHO CREATES/COOKS THESE FANCY RECIPES SO I DON'T HAVE TO. *tears of joy* read more

Kerala Co was recommended by a friend at my gym. Great option to eat well, affordably. Highly recommend this service-- easy to order, easy to customize and quick responses from the staff. read more

AMAZING! My husband and I just started ordering weekly meals from Kerala and we're so impressed. The meals are incredibly fresh, healthy, and well-portioned (i.e. you will not go hungry). All the containers are compostable (yay!) and it was all delivered without a problem. Affordable, delicious, and LOCAL! read more

This is lit-er-all-yyy the best meal delivery you will find! I'm a busy 20 something year old professional in Seattle that has NO idea how to cook and I've tried all of the other meal services. Most of them send raw ingredients that you have to then prepare and cook (which I don't want to do), and the only other prepared meal delivery company (rhymes with trashly) gets old VERY fast and their meals taste like the ones you buy from the frozen section of a grocery store. Kerala co meals are made IN SEATTLE by a local chef, they're healthly af and they taste like $$$ restaurant entrees. I'm not kidding, if you live near Seattle you should try them! read more

Honestly was very excited to support a local business when I heard about this meal delivery program. Unfortunately, I received an email regarding their inability to deliver to my area. I thanked them for letting me know and asked them to just refund me. It's been three weeks--no reply to my email, no response to my text (they say you can text the number listed on their page), no call back after leaving a message on their phone, and no refund. I never write yelp reviews, but this is so unacceptable that I'm literally chasing down this company to communicate with ANYONE to help me process a refund. Even if it takes time to process a refund, I expect at the very least to have that communicated to me to confirm its been processed. Do better. read more

I had been considering signing up for one of these meal plan services for a while, but was super skeptical about the quality, especially as a vegetarian. Like many of my kind, I usually leave a meal I pay for thinking I could do it at home better (and cheaper). But the vegetarian menu plan from Kerala is really interesting and thoughtful. I was immediately won over by their southern influenced blackened tofu, collard greens, and cardamom grits. And they're local!! read more

The vegan menu is so good, I'm excited for each meal. And I love how little packaging waste there is.

I live on a sailboat and do not have time or space to cook on a daily basis, so I tend to eat out a lot. These home delivery meals have been fantastic for working in a healthy variety. They are delivered on time daily and taste great! read more

Kerala Co has been a god send for us! Ready to eat, healthy and properly portioned meals without having to think about prep ourselves. Not only that, but it is scrumptious! The sauces make the dinners especially delish! read more

Love getting my food delivered from Westerly. Started using it when my partner was away so that I didn't have to cook for one and now I love it so much I still get deliveries. Not having to grocery shop and knowing I'll have a variety of healthy and filling meals for the week is such a mental and physical time saver. Big plus that they respond to text and have great customer service. Best meal delivery service I've used! read more

I had my 1st plant-based Westerly meal. It was amazing. Very reasonable portion, tasted great. I strongly recommend them. They answered all my questions and unlike other services, allowed me to customize my meal v. being forced to take the offered meal as-is or skip. The customization capability makes this service worth every penny! Thanks to everyone at Westerly. Yum! read more

I highly recommend this Service! My favorite (and I've tried a few). They have an amazing vegan menu plan that is always satisfying, fresh, creative, and whole food plant-based clean eating! I love that all their packaging is compostable, and that they come back and pick up and reuse their bags and ice packs. It's all fresh food that's ready to eat. Some meals need to be heated in microwave or oven but you can just put the compostable tray in either (I used a baking sheet under them in oven, and both methods work great). They also have Vegetarian and Wellness Plans (for Omnivores). I think they're also Gluten- free. You can choose Breakfast, Lunch, and/or Dinner in any combination, 3, 4, or 5 days a week. Easy delivery (2x a week), and food is kept fresh with big ice packs in insulated bag. My family has loved everything we've had, and this has us eating so much healthier! No excuses, the food is ready to go and delivered to us! Delicious and reasonably priced. Best of 5 Food Services we tried. Treat yourself to a Subscription now! read more

I have been ordering Kerala Co for at least 5 weeks now, and am very thankful for this service. I recently had a baby, am a nursing mom, and work full time. This has been such a game changer for me. I am so thankful for a refrigerator stocked with delicious, healthy/nutritious meals. I have enjoyed every meal and am impressed with the variety of recipes. I don't even look at the menu now because I know that everything will taste good. They make it so easy to order and I get excited every time I get a text that a delivery is at my front door...so convenient. Highly recommended! read more
