Ireland's First Subscription-Based Cloud Kitchen
At O’Desi Meals, we don’t just cook food — we carry forward a tradition. Every meal that leaves our kitchen is made with the same care, the same ingredients, and the same love that goes into cooking for family. Here’s what drives us.
Our tagline isn’t just a marketing phrase. “Maa ke Haath ka Khana” means “food made by a mother’s hands” — and it captures the essence of everything we do. In Indian households, food cooked at home by a mother is considered the gold standard. It’s made with intuition, with knowledge passed down through generations, and most importantly, with love.
That philosophy shapes every meal we prepare. We don’t use industrial shortcuts, pre-made pastes, or artificial flavouring. Every curry, every dal, every roti is prepared from scratch using whole spices and fresh ingredients, exactly as it would be in an Indian home kitchen.
The modern food delivery industry often prioritises speed and cost over quality. We chose a different path. Our recipes are traditional, our methods are time-honoured, and our ingredients are sourced with care.
We use whole spices that we grind and temper ourselves. Our gravies are slow-cooked, not assembled from flavour concentrates. When we say “authentic,” we mean it — these are the exact dishes you would find in homes across India, from Punjab to West Bengal.
This approach takes more time and effort, but the result is food that tastes real. Food that reminds people of home.
Indian food has an undeserved reputation for being heavy and oily. In reality, traditional Indian home cooking is one of the most balanced cuisines in the world. It naturally incorporates a wide range of vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and spices with proven health benefits.
At O’Desi Meals, we cook with less oil than restaurant-style food. We focus on proper nutrition and balanced meals. Turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger — these aren’t just flavours, they’re ingredients with centuries of use in traditional wellness practices.
Our goal is simple: food that tastes incredible and makes you feel good after eating it.
What makes O’Desi Meals truly different is our social enterprise model. 100% of our operating profits are donated to charity. Every meal ordered doesn’t just feed a family in Dublin — it supports Dublin’s homeless through the Christmas Project and funds the education of blind children at Ramakrishna Mission in Kolkata.
We believe food has the power to connect people, to nourish communities, and to create positive change. It’s not just what we cook, but why we cook that defines us.
While our heart is in home-style cooking, our standards are professional. O’Desi Meals is fully registered with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). We follow all food safety protocols and maintain the highest standards of hygiene in our cloud kitchen.
This combination of homemade heart and professional standards is what allows us to deliver consistently excellent meals, day after day, across Dublin County.
When you order from O’Desi Meals, you’re not just getting a meal — you’re supporting a kitchen built on values. Values of authenticity, health, community, and social responsibility. Order your first meal and taste the difference that values-driven cooking makes.
