Our Story

From sharing warm meals with Dublin’s homeless to building Ireland’s first Indian tiffin subscription service.

YEARS SERVING
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

A Meal That Changed Everything

O’Desi Meals is Ireland’s very first subscription-based Indian tiffin service that delivers homestyle authentic meals to doorsteps across Dublin.

It all started on Christmas Eve 2015 when Anubhav was walking through Dublin’s streets and shared a warm meal with a homeless man. That simple act of sharing food sparked something bigger — a tradition that continues every Christmas.

By 2018, what began as cooking authentic Indian food for friends turned into a community movement. In 2020, during the pandemic, O’Desi Meals was born as a social enterprise where 100% of operating profits are donated to feeding Dublin’s homeless and supporting blind children’s education at Ramakrishna Mission in Kolkata.
