Why students choose Saakshi's Kitchen
What makes Saakshi's Kitchen a good student food option?
🏠 Home-Style Taste
Unlike restaurant takeaways, Saakshi's Kitchen cooks the way it's made at home — home-style spicing and traditional family recipes. Dishes like Dal Makhani, Palak Paneer and Royal Chicken Biryani.
⚡ Ready in Minutes
No cooking required. Meals arrive frozen with frozen storage — reheat from frozen until piping hot, keep frozen for later — just heat to serve. A good fit for students short on time or kitchen space.
💰 Weekly Box Value
Each weekly box holds 5–10 home-cooked portions, so the cost per meal works out lower than daily takeaways. Skip or cancel any week.
☪️ Halal & 🥬 Vegetarian
All meats cooked in our kitchen are halal, and there's a full pure-vegetarian range cooked separately. Choose a veg box or a mix.
🌍 Parents Can Order
Designed so parents can order for their child from overseas — a simple way for families abroad to send home food.

A family kitchen, not a corporation
Saakshi's Kitchen was founded by Saakshi Ahluwalia in 2021 and is run by Aurum Grove Ltd. The idea is simple: bring students the home-cooked Indian food they miss — ghar ka khana — to their door, wherever they study in the UK.
