Home Delivery
Delicious Dinners Straight to Your Door

Time strapped? Can't travel? Want to send a gift of thanks, congratulations or provide your parents with healthy, ready to cook meals? Dinner Zen meals delivered to your home (or work) may be the perfect solution.

You pre-order from our full menu and we'll prepare and deliver your meals.

How It Works
Admittedly, home delivery of our meals is not the mainstay of our business. We offer this service because sometimes it's just too difficult or time consumming for some folks to make it to our store. So it's not quite as simple as ordering pizza from the local joint and having it delivered whenever or wherever. Then again, you're looking for the value, peace of mind and health benefits that come with serving truly home cooked meals. At a fraction of the cost or calories of takeout. And all the flavor and goodness of meals you would prepare yourself if you could.

We don't currently have dedicated delivery drivers, nor do we like to stuff our meals into a cardboard box and have them dropped off a truck. So, we require a bit of flexibility when it comes to arranging your home delivery of our prepared entrees. The same staff that prepare your meals are often the ones that take care of our delivery customers.

Most of our home delivery customers are regular customers who order 1 - 2 times per month, and we have worked with them on a schedule that meets their needs AND ensures the safe and timely delivery of their frozen dinners.

Generally, we will travel about 10 miles from the store to make deliveries. We have delivery customers in Oakton, Vienna, Mclean, Reston, Centreville, Tyson's Corner, Sterling, Arlington and beyond. We've been known to drive farther for regular customers, large orders, or really nice customers!

Here are step-by-step instructions for placing your home delivery order:

1. Click on the "Book A Session" link above and select a meal package from the "Zen to Go" option (right hand side of the screen). The minimum order for home or work delivery is $100.

2. Pick a time from our calendar that is closest to your preferred delivery time. We'll try to deliver within an hour (before or after) that pick up time. Note: due to traffic issues, our weekday deliveries are generally dropped off by 4:00pm. If you can't be home before that time or need to step out, please leave a cooler on your porch and we'll leave your meals in your cooler.

3. Select the entrees you'd like us to prepare for you. Each month we offer a menu with 14 or more new and exciting entrees to choose from.  Each meal provides either 6 servings or 3 servings, based upon which meal package and serving size you select.

4. On the "A la Carte" menu page (where side dishes, desserts, etc are listed) select "Local Delivery" from the list of available options. That charges you the delivery fee and notifies us of the delivery.

5. Review your order and checkout. Make sure you click submit on the credit card review page, and get all the way to the last screen that says "Thank You For Your Order" AND you receive an email confirmation.

6. The day of your delivery, if you aren't going to be home or need to step out, leave a cooler on your porch and we'll leave your meals in the cooler.

If we have any questions or problems, or are unable to deliver at your requested time, we'll usually email you the week of your order as we begin preparing your meals. Ninety-eight percent of the time we don't run into any issues, but sometimes our food deliveries are late, we run out of an ingredient or get delayed helping customers in the store.
