An Indian Food Experience

India, the land of a thousand dishes. Delivered hot and fresh via a bicycle.

That’s the luxury many Indian middle class workers can afford.

For around $30 a month lunch is delivered from their home to work everyday for 6 days a week. The food couriers even pick up the dirty dishes and take them home at the end of the day.

There’s only one thing better than a home cooked meal - a meal cooked at home in India!
