Frequently Asked Questions

What is Indian Tiffin Exeter?

We are a small homebased meal pack service provider. We are not a restaurant or a takeaway . Food is prepared only to order.

How are you different from a typical indian restaurant or an indian takeaway?

Quite simply put all our meals are cooked absolutely fresh with raw natural spices just moments before they are packed. None of the items are made using jar pastes or pre cooked gravies. Each day a limited no. of meals are cooked and packed fresh. The food also isn't 'buttered up' or 'tweaked' like we have found in many indian restaurants or takeaways. The Indian food we serve is the same as eaten by us. This is as home cooked as you'd find if you walked into someone's house in India. Most of our student customers have complimented our food by saying it reminds them of their 'mum's cooking' , trust us, there's no bigger compliment they can give to attest to the quality of the food :) .

We also make an extra effort to ensure the food is cooked with minimal oil so all you health buffs out there can also enjoy the meals without worrying about 'too much butter' or 'too much oil' being used :) .
