  • When is the order cutoff?
    At Simply Calicious, we want to ensure that you have plenty of time to customise and order your meals for the upcoming week. That's why our order cutoff time is Friday at 10 PM. This means that any customisations or orders must be placed before this deadline in order to be included in the week after’s delivery. It's important to note that once an order has been finalised, we cannot modify, cancel or refund it. Therefore, if you need to make any adjustments to your order or have any inquiries, please contact us at info@simplycalicious.com.au before the order cutoff time on Friday.

Dietary

  • Do you cater for my dietary requirement?
    At Simply Calicious, we understand the importance of catering to different dietary needs, and we strive to provide a variety of meal options to meet those needs. Here are the current options we have available for specific dietary requirements
  • Gluten-Free Meals
    We offer meals on our weekly menu that do not contain wheat, rye, barley, or oats, labelled under the 'No Bread or Pasta' preference. However, our current selection is limited and might not provide an enjoyable plan for everyone. While these meals are suitable for customers with dietary restrictions or those looking to reduce their gluten intake, we cannot guarantee that they are completely gluten-free due to the risk of cross-contamination in grain farming and production facilities.
  • Paleo, Vegan, and Keto Meals
    At this time, we do not have specific meal plans available for customers following paleo, vegan, or keto diets. However, our customers can select meals each week that align with their dietary needs. We also find that with a little tweaking, our meals can be enjoyed by customers following these diets.
  • Halal Meals
    Some of our meat suppliers are certified Halal, while others are not. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a meal plan that is suitable for those following a Halal diet at this time.
  • Vegetarian Meals
    Currently, we do not have a vegetarian menu. However, we are working on providing vegetarian options in the near future.
    Please keep an eye on our menu, or if you would like to be notified when we have more options available, please email us at info@simplycalicious.com.au.
  • Where can I find a list of allergens
    You can find any allergen information for our ingredients (including our unique spices and blends) on each meal page.
    We cannot guarantee our products are completely free from any allergen such as milk, nuts, eggs, sesame seeds, fish, crustaceans, soy or sulphites.
