Varunika Home Foods

A home kitchen, not a restaurant

Varunika Home Foods is Gunasathya’s kitchen in Chennai. Everything on the menu is something she cooks for her own family: the same rice, the same podis ground at home, the same measure of ghee.

Because it is one person cooking, everything is made to order in small batches. That is why the menu changes day to day, why some dishes run out, and why we ask for a few hours’ notice. It is also why the food tastes the way it does.

She packs and delivers each order herself. If something is not right, you are speaking to the person who cooked it.

Ground at home

Podis, masalas and pickles are made here in small batches, never bought in.

Cooked to order

Nothing is cooked before it is ordered, and nothing is reheated the next day.

Mostly vegetarian

Traditional Tamil home cooking, with dishes marked clearly on the menu.

Made with love, served like home
