Home Chefs & Eateries Delivering Food To Patients And Caregivers In Bangalore

A crowd favourite on Swiggy, this one is all about bringing back the taste of home. In fact, the name itself is Homely so it really can’t get more…well…homely. They have combos, specials and single dishes for you to mix and match. But we suggest sticking to combos. They offer rather elaborate ones like Chicken Dhansak with yellow moong dal, rice and rotis, egg curry, palak paneer, and even beans-carrot subzi, if dhansak isn’t your think. Not up for a meal? Pick from curd rice, rajma-chawal or pav bhaji. Vegetarians, try their brown rice with channa masala, and meat eaters, we hear the Kerala fish curry is ace! The menu changes regularly with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. 

Bhavesh is LBB’s go-to tiffin guy for wholesome North Indian staples of dal-roti-sabzi. Servicing primarily Indiranagar and Domlur, his dabba service for lunch and dinner (he serves them in those old-school steel dabbas) is vegetarian only. Roti, rice, dal, one dry/semi-dry curry, pappad, and buttermilk are what’s in store. Priced at INR 90, we can tell you that without the rice itself, the dabba is quite filling. And oh, rotis come generously spread with ghee (yass!).
