Home-cooked food and tiffin services in Kolkata
Home kitchens in Kolkata are a popular alternative to restaurant delivery for students and working people who miss everyday food. You'll find Bengali fish curries, mishti and sweets, luchi and alur dom and daily Bengali tiffin, 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.
