Refund & Cancellation

Section 01

The Principle

If we got it wrong, you get your money back. That is the whole policy in one line — the rest is detail about timing, because every dish is cooked to order once your payment is confirmed.

This policy sits alongside your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Nothing here takes those rights away.

Payments are by UPI and refunds are processed by hand. There is no automated payment gateway, so a refund is initiated by a person during business hours rather than instantly.
Section 02

Cancelling an Order

Cancellation depends entirely on whether we have started cooking.

StageCan you cancel?Refund
Placed, not yet paidYesNothing taken — nothing to refund
Paid, not yet confirmedYesFull refund
Confirmed, preparation not startedYesFull refund
Being preparedContact us immediatelyPartial or none — see below
Out for deliveryNoNone, unless the order is wrong on arrival

To cancel, message us on WhatsApp with your order number. That reaches the kitchen fastest. Cancelling through any other route may not reach us in time.

Section 03

When We Refund

You are entitled to a full refund, or a replacement if you prefer, when:

  • We cancelled your order for any reason
  • Items were missing from what was delivered
  • You received the wrong item
  • The food arrived in an unacceptable condition — spilled, cold on arrival, or spoiled
  • Delivery failed because of us, or was so late that the food was no longer worth eating
  • You paid but the order was never delivered

Where only part of an order was affected, we refund the affected items rather than the whole bill.

Photographs help. If something arrived wrong or damaged, a quick photo on WhatsApp lets us resolve it in minutes instead of asking questions back and forth.
Section 04

When We Cannot

Being straight with you about the limits:

  • Taste preference. A dish being spicier, sweeter or richer than you expected is not a fault. Tell us anyway — we do read it.
  • Nobody available to receive. If the food was delivered to the address you gave and no one accepted it, we cannot refund prepared food.
  • Wrong address supplied. If the address or phone number given was incorrect and we could not deliver, the order is not refundable.
  • Reported too late. Issues raised well after delivery cannot be verified — see the window in Section 05.
  • Food already substantially eaten.
  • Delays outside our control — weather, road closures, or similar.

We handle disputes case by case and in good faith. If you think a decision was wrong, say so and a person will look at it again.

Section 05

How to Claim

Contact us on WhatsApp with your order number, what went wrong, and a photo where relevant.

Report within REVIEW: SET YOUR WINDOW (suggested — 2 hours of delivery, or by end of the same day). Prepared food cannot be assessed after that, so claims made later may not be accepted.

We will acknowledge your claim, look into it with the kitchen and delivery record, and tell you the outcome. If a refund is due we will confirm the amount and the UPI ID it will be sent to.

Section 06

Refunds are returned to the UPI account the payment came from. If that account is closed, tell us and we will arrange an alternative.

The final leg depends on your bank and UPI provider, not on us. If the money has not arrived within the expected window, contact us with your order number and we will share the transaction reference.
