Home-cooked food and tiffin services in Chennai
Home kitchens in Chennai are a popular alternative to restaurant delivery for students and working people who miss everyday food. You'll find South Indian meals, Chettinad cooking, tiffin items like idli and pongal and Kongunadu and Kerala food, cooked in small batches by families and home chefs.
Most home kitchens offer a weekday tiffin (lunch, dinner or both) on a monthly plan, single meals for pre-order, and catering for small functions. A monthly tiffin usually works out far cheaper than ordering every day, and the cook can adjust oil, spice and portion sizes.
When you choose a kitchen, check the menu and weekly schedule, whether it delivers to your area or is pickup only, what diet it follows (veg, Jain, egg or non-veg), and how far ahead you need to order.
