5 Chris  · So good to have the luxury of Australian-grown organic meals full of flavor and goodness. Highly recommended.
5 Jessica B.  · On my first order. So far the food looks all like high quality and the taste has been amazing.
5 Jordan L.  · Love my fresh organic deliveries. Wish there is a factory closer to Sydney as the food can be more locally sourced.
5 Clio  · healthy, organic, and very handy when you don't have much time to cook yourself !

All meals I have tried so far like Moroccan bowl, pumkin korma, blue mermaid breakfast and Mexican bowl have been outstanding. So much flavour, very filling and have blown my expectations out of the water. Show details

It is easy to order and have amazing food delivered. It isn't the cheapest option however the variety and quality make it worthwhile. I have been ordering for a couple of months and have definitely noticed an improvement in my health. Show details

They charged my card nearly $150 for a food subscription I didn’t know I had. I hadn’t had any charges on my account since July so I thought I didn’t have a subscription anymore. I put my best friends money in my account to purchase a present for her recently deceased young son. They took all of her money and refused to refund it even after… Read more

bringing it to their attention immediately with a couple days before they said expected delivery was. Now my best friends Xmas is ruined and I have to live with it. I’m so distraught and devastated at a time of year that’s supposed to be happy. Aside from this, when the meals DID come, some weren’t cooked properly, the plastic seals weren’t sealed, food went off days prior to the date they said. They said they can’t refund and the cooks are putting in lots of effort, well I don’t want the food so I guess I’ll have no choice but to throw it in the bin and it won’t matter how much effort the cooks put in because no one will enjoy it anyway, you could’ve just got them to NOT MAKE THE FOOD.

I ordered three Loco Love chocolate boxes from your website for $55 each. One of them turned up already past the use-by date, and the other two expire in less than a month. Customer service telling me you’ll only refund one box is honestly a joke. Nowhere on your site does it say the chocolates are close to expiry, and there’s no way anyone could… Read more

get through three boxes in under a month.

It feels like you’re just dumping old stock on customers and not being upfront about it, which really doesn’t say much for your customer service or your values as a brand. I expect a refund for all three boxes.

Sky High – Being cabin crew and finding plant based organic meals that can be so easily and efficently taken onboard a flight with the ability to heat in the ovens straight from the container is such a blessing. I am super stoked that I too can now enjoy a hot meal during flight and have the advantage of norishing my body with wholesome healthy vegan meals at the same time. Its a thumbs up from me onboard Bonza! Show details

Blown away by the quality! No funky packaging aftertaste like the other brands can have. Delicious, fresh, filling and nourishing. Gluten-free too, which is a huge relief. This place is a lifesaver, helping me prioritise my health during busy times or when unwell. Something to keep an eye on.... I would just recommend screenshot your order before… Read more

confirming and paying. I've noticed a few issues with the website/invoices. I placed a one time purchase and noticed a couple items missing but don't know how to prove it as I currently have 2 different invoices showing different items :/ Update after 3 orders: I do think the customer service needs a bit of work, I haven’t ordered since my last ordered arrived not sealed and mess went everywhere took atleast an hour to clean up my kitchen, take photos, list items, and go through all items to specifically tell them which items were spoilt and those that weren’t. GOG did reorder the damaged items out to me, so thank you. Given the situation was stressful I would have offered something small to smooth things over and to maintain the customer relationship, perhaps I’m just petty but these things go along way - hence haven’t ordered since then.

The reason for the bad score is the issue with support. My food was stolen and I spent quite a lot of money on it. I raised with support they just left me with photos saying it was delivered which I knew but I was asking if I could either have some food resent or even just get some slight refund. They closed the ticket. I tried reopening, and… Read more

they’ve ignored both of my emails. I suggested they should allow the option to have drivers ring intercom if overnight delivery because on their website it said they won’t, so I had no choice to tell the driver where to leave it in the safest place but unfortunately stolen. Our security said drivers MUST ring the intercom to leave in secure spot and is their policy. I’ve never had this issue before or with other suppliers. What I am most upset about is that I would have been better off just putting that money down the drain because support doesn’t appear to want to at least show a small gesture for the issue. That is not how you retain customers. I’ve seen other reviews online that others have been disappointed with support in general. I wish I had listened. I guess I’ll go back to my muscle chef which has always been reliable even if issues with the order support have been very gracious to assist.

Please watch out for this company. It’s a shame I couldn’t even try the food I was really looking forward to.

I've been very happy with the customer service offered. I do wish the delivery and minimum spends weren't so high so I could have a fortnightly subscription instead of monthly and have more meals fresh instead of frozen but am grateful to have organic food supporting local farmers.

Big fan of Garden of Goodness. I've been ordering from them for years now and they have been particularly appreciated during busy work periods, and postpartum. They have a good variety of meals to choose from and constantly rotate their menu. Each meal is made from organic wholefood ingredients and you can tell as they taste very healthy and nourishing. Expensive but worth it.

Disgusted by the manner in which I was treated after spending so much money with this company. No one from management would respond to my emails and the customer don’t care staff did nothing to help. I am absolutely stunned that this company feels that their treatment of their customers is acceptable!! Seriously!! Shame on you !! Show details

If this is monitored by Garden of Vegan, how about you be ethical and respond to your clients instead of treating them as disposable!!!

For the prices they charge this food was revolting, you know how bad something is when even your pet chickens don't want to eat it. Give me lite n easy over this any day. I've ordered it before in the past and it was okay. The Vietnamese noodle dish was good but as for the rest, yuck. Show details

Probably the best vegetarian meal prep service available, but the bar is incredibly low – First, the cost is just outrageous. There should be an option for people who do not want or can't afford certified organic food. At this price, it's reasonable to expect quality dishes and for the meals to last at least a week (or at least for the company to offer more than one delivery per week if they truly can't supply meals with more then… Read more

2-3 days shelf life). I repeatedly received shipments with every single meal (in large orders) expiring on the following day or sooner. Even with food that was in date, the dishes often taste pickled when they shouldn't. On more than one occasion, my entire order showed signs of spoilage well before its best before date, regardless of how cold the meals were kept.

The company didn't bother to refund me for meals that were obviously expired on delivery, and going through their customer service is slow and inefficient, which seems to be by design.

Moreover, the majority of these meals are just not good. The flavours are awful, bland, repetitive, and the menu changes are extremely limited. The keto and low carb options are particularly repulsive. There's a "cauliflower rice" dish that is literally just a bowl of slime.

I would've preferred they spent money on improving their service rather than marketing and rebranding. Why even change the name from Garden of Vegan when it's still a vegan-only brand?? They could do much better, but they're choosing not to.

I did not know plant-based could be so tasty and amazing! I'm truly blown away by the high quality, amazing balance of flavour, and great macro nutrient profile of these meals. Absolutely in love and am now ordering every fortnight. The customer service is fantastic and just so pleased to find organic with high enough protein, plant-based, well priced with amazing selection! Highly recommend!! Show details

the food is healthy and arrives fresh, while the prices are certainly on the high end for plant based foods, I know I won't get food poisoning like from some other services in the past! navigating their site is also fairly straightforward.

I love these meals. My only concern is the use of coconut milk and oils. I have become vegan for health reasons. (As well as for environmental and ethical reasons). Coconut milk and related products are full of saturated fats and should be avoided for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. While it does improve taste, health is paramount. Show details

Incredible service. The food was so fresh and delicious. Puts soulara to shame. I’m going to be ordering every month while my partner flies out to the mines, and I’m on my own with the baby! It is worth the cost. I also like that the packaging was eco, the cold gel packets could be dissolved in your sink, so clever. Also, the box had no tape making it easy to recycle. Show details

The food is wholesome and tastes delicious. The option to order portion size is very good. The delivery boxes are cardboard and the food is very well chilled on delivery. The office staff are friendly and go out of their way to answer enquiries. Overall, a very professional operation in the prepared foods industry. Show details

Expensive but good – While this is hugely expensive and out of the realm of possibility for most people, I have started getting orders every few weeks as a treat, and the food really is a step-up from similar vegetarian meal services. There's a good variety of meals-- I really appreciate that they use tofu and beans and legumes etc for protein instead of some… Read more

companies which now rely too heavily on rubbery meat substitutes. I've never felt bad after eating one of these meals.
