How Samara works

A clear, order-ahead journey from a verified local chef.

01

Pick your date

Browse dishes by the day you want them delivered — up to two weeks ahead.

02

Chef cooks fresh

Your chef prepares your dish on the delivery day. Small-batch, made-to-order.

03

Delivered by hand

The chef drops it off — still warm. Reheat and enjoy. Or eat right away.

Weekly meals

A simpler way to plan the week.

Recurring weekly menus are part of the approved roadmap. One-time scheduled orders remain the available option today.

Frequently asked

When will my food arrive?

On your chosen delivery date. Chefs message you the morning-of with a rough window.

Can I order from more than one chef?

Not yet — one chef per order for now. Multi-chef baskets come in Phase 2.

Can I cancel?

Free up to 24h before your delivery date, or until the chef has accepted the order.

What about food allergies?

Every Samara dish must declare its allergens — no exceptions. Filter dishes by dietary need.
