How it Works

How the Friday Menu Works

Maimouna's Cuisine is a meal preparation service which has Friday Menu we post weekly for online and then picked-up the following Friday late afternoon. We also provide Catering of small- to medium-sized events and hold periodic Cooking Classes.

You can order online between Sunday, May 18 @ 9AM through Thursday, May 22th @ 11AM for pickup on Friday, May 23rd at First Baptist Church Ithaca's south door between 4:45-7:45 PM. The church is located behind the Tompkins County Courthouse, the parking lot entrance is off of Court Street.

When you arrive next to the church's South door, text us your last name and license plate number to 607-379-4472, we'll bring your order out to you in the parking lot next to the church's south-facing door. Look for the "Maimouna's Cuisine Pick-up Here" signs.

The entrance to the Courthouse parking lot is off of Court Street. See entrance to the parking lot photo below:

Drive into the parking lot and turn right to arrive at the southern door to the church (which faces the back of the Boardman House). When you receive your food, please leave the parking lot by the Tioga St. Exit. See map below:

For those arriving by bike or foot, we are next to Dewitt Park, note that the southern door of the church faces the county parking lot behind the Boardman House. When you arrive, please text us your last name and the words "At Door" to 607-379-4472, so we know that you have arrived.

Note: There is a doorbell to the right of the South door of the church in case for some reason we miss your text or call.

We recommend that all food be eaten within 3-4 days of receiving to ensure food safety and freshness. Want to eat later, or have meals during the week, freeze and store them for later (even up to 3-4 months)!

Returnable/Reusable Glass Containers Available

We seek to be a socially and environmentally responsible business and therefore we have returnable Pyrex glass containers, with lids, available. Put a deposit down on one ($14.00 Large, $12.00 Medium) by adding a glass container to your basket as part of your order. You need to return your glass container each time you pick up a new order.

If you forget once, you get a glass container and need to return two glass containers, and their two lids, the next time you order. The following order will come in a recyclable aluminum pan or eco-friendly paper container until the glass containers and lids are returned for re-use.

Containers--Main dishes, either Medium or Large, are packed in paper container(s) (recyclable in Ithaca, once cleaned) some with paper tops others with PLA (plant-based plastic tops. Side dishes and soups are packaged in paper containers.
