London restaurant meal kits delivered during lockdown
One way in which food businesses have adapted to long-term covid-induced lockdowns across the country is by making available for delivery DIY recipe boxes and meal kits.
The idea is that if diners cannot travel to enjoy food at their favourite destinations, then they at least have the option of ordering fully prepped meals kits to cook at their convenience.
With all the ingredients for a given dish carefully packaged and accompanied with simple instructions, anyone with some cooking experience can enjoy their fave dishes in the comfort of their abodes.
Here’s an impressive list of meal kits prepared by five Halal-friendly London restaurants for you to consider during this extended lockdown period.

The Truffle DIY Kits are back for a limited time only. The good news is that their signature 90-day aged beef is Halal (4 patties), which means that only their Beef Truffle Burger for £25 is suitable. The bad news is that they are only selling 100 kits per week, delivered nationwide, every Friday.
Given how popular their burgers are and with their next delivery date being Friday 15th of January, we suggest you get your orders in fast.
