Not a cookery school. A real Indian kitchen.
HIF began with the food Indian families actually cook at home. Our Kitchen Queens bring their own regional dishes, family techniques and kitchen secrets to every session.
You won’t stand at a workstation copying a demonstration. You cook beside us, ask questions, taste as you go and learn why something works, not just what the recipe says.
- Real home cooks. Family recipes handed down through generations.
- Regional food. From Bengal to Kerala to Punjab.
- Small groups. Time at the stove for everyone.
- Beginner friendly. Just bring an appetite.
People come for the cooking. They remember the afternoon.

However, it has the “homemade vibe” which means it isn’t too oily or overly spicy, and as a result, for the first time in years, am able to eat Indian food at night without worrying about heartburn. The portions are generous and they have a significant variety of food, which means you do not get bored eating the same thing again and again. The ability to customise every week’s selection makes this a lovely culinary journey. I must also mention that the team is excellent in responding to queries and providing information. Having tried a few different Indian ready-to-eat delivery services, I have finally found one which I am truly happy with. – Trustpilot

The flavours were so authentic and reminded me of the real taste of India. Each dish was prepared with care, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out. The chicken curry was perfectly spiced, and the bread was soft and freshly made. It felt like a home-cooked meal, but with a professional touch.The delivery was prompt, and the portions were generous. If you're craving true Indian food, this is the place to go! Highly recommend!

Taste of food took me back to India and justify its name very well. Service was prompt and food was still warm and well packed. Enjoyed their paratha as it was very soft and not oily at all. Paneer I ordered was a very tender. Highly recommend their food. Google reviews
