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 two business days' notice. 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 later.

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.

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 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.
