Indian brothers bring lunch to your door

Two Indian brothers in Brussels have expanded their growing culinary empire by offering traditional Indian lunchboxes delivered to your workplace, event or conference.

Place your order on the website – a one-off or recurring order – and Sunny Harminder and Varinder Noni  will bring you a tiffin full of steaming hot curries made to old family methods, then come and collect the dishes a couple of hours later. The traditional metal boxes mean there’s no packaging to throw away, so it’s sustainable as well as delicious.

“We’re passionate about cooking, especially Indian food, based on the recipes we learned at home from our mother,” Sunny says. “We don’t usually use recipes; it’s more a question of the right feeling about how much you need to use of each ingredient.”

Their menus include mixed vegetable curry, palak paneer made with homemade Indian cheese, aloo gobi and dhal makhani, with handmade chapatis, raita and rice. Vegan options are possible too.

Sunny and Varinder currently deliver to 1000, 1050 and 1060 postcodes, and among their satisfied customers are staff at ING and Belgacom and NGOs Oxfam, Friends of the Earth, Global Call to Action against Poverty, EEB and 11.11.11, as well as at the European Commission. The minimum order is four people, at about €8.50 a head: round up three colleagues and give it a try.

And if you want to discover the secrets of making your own authentic curry, without a jar of ready-made sauce to be seen, they also offer regular cooking classes at their base in Saint-Gilles.
