FAQs

What is Kooshi Gourmet?

Kooshi Gourmet is Southern California's premier organic meal delivery service. We customize, prepare, and deliver healthy, delicious meals 5 days a week using organic produce, wild seafood and all natural- animal proteins. We deliver your daily deliveries to your doorstep all within 24 hours of production. We love food, and we believe that eating healthy shouldn’t have to be a hassle.

Where does Kooshi deliver? 

We currently deliver within the Greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Entering your zip code at checkout will ensure your address is within our range. Specify a home or office location as your main address, and you can customize any special delivery instructions on the checkout page when you complete your order. If no special instructions are provided, our drivers will leave your meals outside the front door of the shipping address provided.

If your shipping zip code falls outside of our delivery zones, you will be notified during the checkout process. For any delivery related questions, please feel free to contact us.

How does scheduling work?

We offer meal delivery service five days a week. If you need meals for the weekend, we can deliver them along with your Friday order. All meals are packed in an insulated cooler bag to maintain optimum freshness and delivered between 8:00PM and 5:00AM. If you have any special delivery instructions (i.e. a door attendant, gate code), you can specify those details in the Notes section at checkout.

What if I need weekend meals?

No problem! We can include your Saturday and Sunday meals in a Friday delivery.

What if I need to pause or change my service?

You can pause or resume your meal deliveries at any time with 72 hours notice (not including weekends). If you need to make a change with less notice, you may be charged for any meals that are already in the works. Your purchased days of service will never expire, so you can take a break and use the rest of your days at a later date. 

Can I pick which dishes I receive?

We love the element of surprise! That's why we create fresh, seasonal menus based on the availability of high quality, local ingredients each day. Kooshi clients can specify up to three Dislikes to eliminate any unwelcome ingredients in their meals. We provide sample menus here on our website, and we can provide further sample menus by request.

How do I choose the meal delivery program that's right for me? 

All Kooshi Gourmet meals are all-natural, hormone free, locally sourced, and hand-prepared in our 100% gluten-free kitchen. Receive up to three delicious, nutritious meals and two Extras per day. No shopping, cooking, or cleanup required.

What if my needs are more specific?

We get it. We're pretty particular ourselves. If our standard meal programs don't meet your dietary needs, we can create a Custom Meal Program just for you. Our menu planning team can even work with your doctor, trainer, or nutritionist to personalize every aspect of your meals. 

Customize your meal plan

  • Incorporate unique, premium ingredients
  • Specify a custom caloric intake
  • Configure unlimited ingredient Dislikes
  • Alternate meal structures throughout the week
  • Eliminate dish categories

The Custom program requires a phone consultation prior to ordering. Options are limitless, but pricing will vary depending on your selections. Questions? Contact us, and we're happy to discuss your specific requirements. 

What are Extras?

For an additional amount, you can choose two Extras with your delivery to keep you satiated between meals. Extras include:

  • Healthy Snacks (organic fruits, vegetables, etc.)
  • Protein Snacks (protein shakes, nuts, etc.)
  • Fresh Pressed Juice / Infused Herbal Teas
  • Homemade Gluten-Free Dessert

What is a Dislike?

Don't do dairy? Not into spicy peppers? Dislikes are Kooshi's way of eliminating certain ingredients from your menus. Let us know, and we're happy to remove up to three ingredients from your program. If three Dislikes is not enough, we're happy to discuss our Custom Meal Program, which offers unlimited Dislikes.

Can Kooshi accommodate my food allergies?

We take great care to ensure that all of our dishes are prepared safely and separately. However, all of our meals are processed in the same kitchen, where allergens like milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy are present.  For this reason, we do not recommend Kooshi Gourmet for those with very severe allergies.

Can I give Kooshi meals as a gift?

Shopping for someone special? What could be more thoughtful than a gift of health and wellness? Give your friend or loved one a taste of the good life with signature organic, hassle-free meals delivered to their doorstep. Contact us to learn more about gifting options or simply provide the recipient's shipping information when you complete your order.

Does Kooshi cater parties and events?

We do! Kooshi offers full service staffing and catering, drop-off delivery service, full bar, signature cocktails, custom menus, and other a la carte options. Contact us for pricing, sample menus, and more information.

What does "Kooshi" mean?

Kooshi roughly translates from the Sanskrit word for happiness. We believe that happiness starts with wellness, inside and out. That's why we start with the freshest local, all-natural ingredients. Let us take the stress out of cooking, shopping, and clean-up to help unlock a healthier, happier you.
