Dinnerly Review
Dinnerly was one of the first meal delivery services that we tried. The attractive price was what lead us to give it a shot. The price is nice, but sometimes it showed in the quality of the meals.
Value
$4.99 per serving is hard to beat. You won’t find a better price when it comes to a meal delivery kit.
Because of the price, we did not expect huge portion sizes but the meals were a little slim sometimes, particularly when it came to meat dishes. There was never a shortage of vegetables though, we often ended up with a plate and a half of vegetables.
Taste
The meals from Dinnerly are certainly not restaurant quality. Some were hit and miss. We found some to be quite tasty but others were just okay. Because each meal only has 6 ingredients, we thought they were sometimes lacking a little something extra to make the meal perfect.
Ingredient Quality
Ingredients we received in each box were fresh. While the ingredients were fresh, there weren’t really a lot of them. After opening the first box, I was looking for more items. It felt like $40 at the store would have went a bit further.
Recipe Variety
Picking meals through the website is easy, but choices are limited. You are given only a few options each week to pick from and these recipes often repeat.
Dinnerly only has the option of receiving 3 meals per week. No more, no less. You would not be able to use this service for 5 meals per week.
Preperation and Ease of Cooking
The recipes very easy to make and each one only uses 6 ingredients. Minimal ingredients
Meals were not packaged together like some other meal delivery boxes. Sometimes there were different quantities of the same item and we didn’t know which meal they belonged to.
Dietary Restrictions
Dinnerly does not have different plans for different dietary restrictions. The meals are generally carbohydrate heavy with pasta and noodles being offered weekly.
