MakeMyMeals Indian delivery, $5K a month, self-reported: weekly plans

MakeMyMeals delivers customisable Indian meals, street food, thali and home-style food through recurring meal plans. Its $5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 30, 2026.

What it actually sells

MakeMyMeals sells ready-to-eat Indian meals, street food, thali and home-style food through doorstep delivery. Customers can order for themselves or their whole family, with choices including curries, breads, sides and street-food items.

Meals arrive on Monday and Wednesday. The site says delivered meals are packed in microwavable containers for heating and eating, and it introduces new dishes every month.

How it charges

The site lists Weekly Single Meal (Half Tiffin) – Premium at $1.00/week, originally $60.00; Curry Pack Monthly at $150.00/month; Curry Pack Weekly at $40.00/week; Monthly Double Meal (Full Tiffin) at $325.00/month; and Weekly Single Meal (Half Tiffin) at $60.00/week.

Where customers come from

Customers can order through the MakeMyMeals website, with payment required online through the site. The site also promotes the brand on Instagram. Its visible ordering message is: "Order online when you want at your convenient time."

What stands out

The site claims 500+ happy customers and says it is rated #1 for Indian food delivery in Montreal. It also says meals are prepared using organic products and are packed in 16Oz microwavable containers.

Where it sits in the data

MakeMyMeals's $5K a month is higher than 58% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, this needs real work. The buyer is an individual or family choosing prepared Indian food for itself, and distribution would need to come through an online ordering surface and social media. The core product also requires meal selection, recurring orders and scheduled delivery coordination.

The difficult parts are food preparation, packaging, delivery operations, support and compliance in general. Competition would matter because customers are choosing among food options, while a founder would need to manage the service load created by recurring meal deliveries and customer requests.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

MakeMyMeals combines recurring meal-plan prices with direct online ordering. The site lists weekly and monthly options, requires online payment and promotes Instagram as a customer-facing channel.
