About us
Our Mission
Radically transform how people view Indian cuisine in the UK and to position Homemade Indian Food as an attractive, logical, and financially feasible option to enjoy flavours of India.
We cook and deliver simple and tasty food using traditional Indian recipes and high-quality ingredients only. Everything is made from scratch in small batches every day by our incredibly skilled chefs in their own home kitchens.
Our Values
Empathy & Understanding
Deep understanding of Indian Diaspora & UK population’s affinity towards Indian food. Restaurant & Takeaways offerings often cater to a broader, non-Indian palate.
