About PikaBox
Nairobi’s food,
all in one place.
PikaBox is Nairobi’s food app: home-cooked meals from verified cooks, private chefs, flash suppers from the city’s top hotel kitchens, fresh groceries and MealKits, recipes you can cook along with, and Pika, your AI food assistant.
Made in Nairobi
A connected food ecosystemHome cooks, chefs, hotel kitchens, stores, riders and creators, in one app.
Why we built it
TikTok shows you food. PikaBox lets you have it tonight.
The family table we built PikaBox for.
Every evening, we scroll past food we’d love to eat: a coconut fish curry from the coast, a pot of githeri someone’s mum made, a Sunday roast from a hotel kitchen across town. And then we close the app and wonder what to cook.
PikaBox closes that gap. Good food is already being made all around us — in home kitchens, chefs’ studios, hotel kitchens and on farms an hour outside the city. PikaBox connects all of it, safely, to your table.
So you can cook it with a step-by-step cook-along and the ingredients from PikaFresh, order a plate from a verified home cook, book a private chef, catch a flash supper from one of the city’s top kitchens, or let Pika plan the week around your family’s allergies. Nairobi is home.
What we believe
Six things we won’t trade.
They decide how we build, who we partner with, and what we say no to.
Kitchens first
Cooks, chefs and farmers are the heart of PikaBox. They set their prices and own their regulars.
Trust is the product
Every kitchen is checked. Every chef booking is held safely until you’re happy.
Waste nothing
Food that doesn’t sell goes, free, to feeding programmes.
Your tap, always
Pika can plan, suggest and fill your basket. It never pays without you.
Warm, never pushy
No dark patterns, no guilt. Health data is yours and is never sold.
Nairobi-born, world-ready
Built for Nairobi’s streets first, then for the world.
