A fun thing to try in Chicago
I've ordered two meals so far and they were both excellent. It's also a good way to get you out on your bike and meet some real people, try some new things. I hope the concept succeeds, as Airbnb and Uber have, because I'd like to see it stick around. My only complaint is that it's really difficult to find where to add reviews for your orders in the app (answer: click the hamburger menu top-left, and then click "History")

What a great concept
So far my experience has been amazing. The cooks are friendly and so maybe options in just a quick walk. The food is also very delicious. Can’t wait to continue trying new foods!

Such a great app!
I get super busy a lot of times - between being a mom, working, taking care of home, running errands and all those other things - life gets crazy. As much as I would love to be in the kitchen every day, it’s just not reality. This app gave me the ability to still have good home cooked meals, from all over the world, and not feel guilty about having to “eat out.”Each day of the week there are different things being offered in different parts of the city; there is so much to choose from and getting a chance to meet the cooks is always a pleasure! I’ve had the opportunity to try so many good international dishes! The best part - the prices are reasonable as well! Love Shmeal!

Great app
I love how you were able to try so many different authentic dishes! Everyone whose dish I tried did an excellent job and was extremely friendly. The food is made right before you get there so it was hot out of the oven. I can’t wait to see the new chefs and home cooks they can recruit
Great idea, great app!
This is a great service where people can get delicious meals from local (home and professional) chefs. You can see their location, all available dishes, you can also chat. I’ve tried many different cuisines without spending a dime on delivery fees. Highly recommend!
Fun concept. Good experience so far.
The app lets you discover local chefs and home cooks and try out their meals. Ordered once already and it was easy to use and food was delicious. I like how they specify food allergens. Definitely a lot of room for growth and upgrades. Would love to see search and filter functionalities. Also would love to see where this goes!

Happy user
I am cooking on Shmeal and it has been great. They were very helpful when I joined and helped making it a very seamless process.
Since then I have been getting orders and getting paid on time.
It is a good way to work from home and make some money.

Amazing app for delicious food!!😍
I love this app so much. I always want to eat real food, and different cuisines. Shmeal has a variety of good dinner to tasty desserts! What I love about it is you get to pay for only $10! healthy and affordable are my thing. You get to meet and if you're lucky be friends with the cooks. I love this app. My favorite dessert is the Ube Creme Pandesal & Vegan dishes of Ms. Daphne. The Best!! Hoping for more variety of cuisines in the future🥰

Sadly
I can’t get my app to open. When I tried to create an account I got all the way to creating my profile and my app closed. I figured it may have been my phone so I tried opening the app back up with no luck. I’ve restarted my phone, deleted and downloaded the app again and I checked to make sure both my phone and app were up to date. It’s sad I won’t be able to use the app I was so excited.

Great app
While there was some issues with app a few weeks it was still possible to pick up meals . It’s a great way to support local up and coming businesses and affordable. One suggestion, making categories for food and maybe also chefs in certain neighborhoods. I know I can put my zip code but it’d be easier to search by neighborhood other than it’s great I’ve eaten some really good meals through here!

Great concept
I love this app. It is very new so it can use some logistical improvements but the concept is brilliant. Order delicious food for pick up from home cooks for $8 per meal. It’s truly shopping local. We’ve loved every meal we have tried so far and can’t wait to keep trying more. A lot of authentic international options that are fun to try.

Great idea, looking forward to seeing this take off!
This app connects you to great food from local chefs all around you. I've had some of the best meals since moving to my city thanks to this app. As someone who doesn't cook, I'm constantly paying high delivery fees for cold food that underwhelms- this solved all of that! I'm looking forward to this growing in popularity, both for more meal availability in my neighborhood as well as to giving me the opportunity to try many different cuisines. I love it.

So delicious!
Super cool idea for an app. I loved my first Shmeal! Quicker than fast food and definitely a healthier option. I’ve been telling all my friends about it. My mom wants a Shmeal app in California now!!
Great customer service !
Unfortunately had the issue of being locked out of my account and I thought it’d take forever to get back in. Fortunately Shmeal is current on tech and you can actually text them for support, which was so cool! My account was a bit problematic to get reset for some reason, but the constant communication was reassuring they wanted to resolve the issue. Eventually helped reset the account and I’m waiting to pick up some Spring Rolls for dinner tonight ! Thanks Shmeal support !!

Really cool idea for food & community
Nowadays we’re busy, eating bad takeout, isolated, not really know our neighbors. Shmeal is the answer to all of this. You get to eat delicious home cooking (which we all know is the best cooking) at a reasonable price and meet some cool people while you’re at it. The app is super easy to use; meals listed by closeness to your location. A really cool thing is the variety of cuisines too. Really cool.

Delicious affordable food option
I love this app! It’s a great departure from other takeout options and the food is much better than what you can get from most restaurants for $8. Some of the cooks are professional chefs cooking in their spare time. It feels good to support local cooks and get to know your neighbors a bit at the same time. It’s also great for trying different types of cuisines. Highly recommend!
