Real kitchens,
ready tonight.
The pot your neighbour puts on at two is at your door by seven. Every cook is verified and food-safety trained, and a rider collects at their gate. Hot, sealed and honest.

What it is
Home Cooked is food from real Nairobi home kitchens. Each cook puts on a pot tonight and you order a plate; a PikaBox rider collects it, sealed, at her gate.
Why it’s good
- Every cook is ID-checked and passes a food-safety course before her kitchen opens
- Allergens declared on every dish, so you know what is in your plate
- Cooked fresh today, with a four-hour freshness clock from pot to plate
