We're an artisan Indian food business, cooking from a barn above Silent Pool, in the Surrey Hills. Everything is handmade in small batches, with spices we source carefully and blend by hand. We deliver frozen meals across the UK, run a café seven days a week, teach cookery in the barn, cater corporate gatherings and private celebrations, and host beer & curry quiz nights, supper clubs and immersive cookery evenings throughout the year.
AS FEATURED IN
When all you need is dinner, simply sorted
Food for Real Life
Our bundles are made for exactly that. Proper Indian food, slow-cooked with care, frozen gently, and ready when you are. Perfect for two, for families, for unexpected guests - or for those evenings when you simply don’t feel like cooking.
Four things no one else can honestly say.
-
01
A real place.
A barn above Silent Pool, in the Surrey Hills. You can visit. You can eat here. The food comes from a kitchen, not a warehouse.
-
02
Family recipes, not factory ones.
Every dish on the menu is one Mandira grew up eating, from her mother, her grandmother, or someone she learned from along the way. If grandmother would not recognise the ingredient, we do not use it.
-
03
Eleven Great Taste Awards. And Nigella.
Not one. Eleven. Plus Channel 4, BBC, The Times, The Telegraph, and a personal endorsement from Nigella Lawson.
-
04
Cooked, then frozen.
Not cooked from frozen, in a factory. Cooked in our barn, frozen the same day, delivered to you in insulated boxes. The flavour survives the journey.
Get To Know Mandira's Vibe
Half-day classes in the barn with Mandira. Small groups, hands on spices, full feast at the end. For people who want to make it themselves, properly.
Instant e-gift cards from £25. Printed vouchers sent in recycled kraft envelopes for something more special. Redeemable for food, classes, or the café.
