User Reviews

Shef serves homemade-style meals from local chefs and is praised for food quality, variety, and the convenience of having meals ready-made. It’s seen as a value-add and empowering for home cooks. However, multiple reviews highlight systemic issues: a buggy, slow app with frequent crashes and confusing UX; unreliable delivery with missing, late, or wrong orders and poor tracking; billing problems including payment failures and charges for undelivered meals; inconsistent customer support and slow response times; and subscription behavior that’s hard to skip. When the service works, the meals are excellent, but operational problems persist and hurt trust.

Pros

High-quality, homemade-style meals from local chefs.
Convenience and value for people who don’t want to shop, cook, or clean, with a rotating chef lineup.
Empowers home cooks and supports local talent through the platform.
Responsive customer service and refunds when issues arise.

Cons

Frequent app bugs and crashes; slow, confusing user experience.
Unreliable delivery and poor tracking—missing, late, or incorrect orders.
Billing problems: payment failures, charges for undelivered meals, and unclear refunds.
Inconsistent or slow customer support; limited driver contact; delayed responses.
Subscription model is hard to skip or cancel and can auto-renew unexpectedly.

First box I got: 1 chef cancelled with no time to pick something new, then sent me someone else’s box. They promised to give me a new box experience on my next full order and lied. They aren’t honoring anything they promise. Do not use. Expensive scam.

Unfortunately I had an old card stored for payment and didn’t realize when the order was processed. They confirmed the order and then on the day on delivery for our weekly meals they informed me it was cancelled because of payment failure. I kept tracking the app messages nonstop to figure out where the delivery was and after much searching I finally found a chat with us feature where I was informed that the order didn’t go through. The crazy part it still says order confirmed on the app and arriving today. Seems like an easy feature push notification or just communicate via messages on the app when there is a message feature.
