I've tried many different meal services. I usually get sick of them after a while. Shef has lasting power for me so far because the price is competitive, the portion sizes are appropriate for my appetite, there is endless variety because I live in an area with many chefs, and the food is actually good. This helps me to relieve so much stress around eating: full time jobs, many young children, and just so little time and bandwidth to spare. I'm outsourcing my meals with Shef right now and it is very worth it. Customer service has been good. There were some hiccups with deliveries in the beginning but they've been ironed out.

We love Shef! It solved a big problem for us. Food is delicious, healthy, doesn't feel heavy on the stomach. The shefs are amazingm you can feel the love in the food, perfectly packaged, delicious, always on time. I don't have time to cook and I used to eat out always, it was unhealthy and very expensive, and the food was not great.

Shef Murray cooked without much salt and that’s what my doctor ordered. And all 3 dishes were fabulous. I’ll be back for more! So very good!! Thanks Patsy Fleming

I absolutely love Shef, and am so grateful to be able to order homemade and delicious food from members of my local community. All of the food I have ordered so far has come exactly as planned and has been so delicious! I especially love that the cuisines of so many countries and regions are represented. I spent a couple of years living in South India and really miss the food. I have been able to get amazing South Indian dishes that I just can’t find in restaurants, even in a big city like Los Angeles. I highly recommend Shef - it’s a great service, the food is fantastic and a great value, and the mission and impact to the community is positive and inspiring!
