A big change is happening in Bengaluru’s food scene! Bhookle, an award winning food delivery app, is here to revolutionize the way people experience home-cooked meals. More than just a food delivery service, Bhookle is a platform that connects food lovers with talented home chefs, bringing warmth, nostalgia, and authenticity to every meal.
The idea behind Bhookle was born out of founder Arvind Ravichandran’s desire to relive the comforting taste of his mother’s cooking. He realized that food has the power to evoke deep memories, and Bhookle was created to bridge the gap between home chefs and those longing for authentic, home-cooked food.
What Makes Bhookle Special?
- People First – Every dish has a story. Bhookle brings together passionate home chefs and customers who appreciate food made with care.
- Diverse Cuisine – From traditional Karnataka flavors like Ragi Mudde, Akki Roti, and Bisibelebath to regional specialties from Kerala, Sindhi, Maharashtrian, and North Indian cuisines, Bhookle offers a world of flavors.
- A Healthier Alternative – Unlike restaurant food, Bhookle meals are fresh, homemade, and preservative-free. The app emphasizes quality and safety, with each home chef vetted for FSSAI compliance and kitchen hygiene.
- Customization – Customers can choose from pure vegetarian or non-vegetarian kitchens, ensuring a worry-free dining experience.
- Support for Home Chefs – 85% of Bhookle’s chefs are women aged 25-65, many of whom are homemakers turning their passion into thriving businesses.
- Social Responsibility – Bhookle offers meal plans for the elderly and actively works towards minimizing food waste by cooking fresh upon order.
Bengaluru is the perfect city for Bhookle’s expansion, given its openness to innovation, cosmopolitan culture, and diverse food preferences. The city has a high density of talented home chefs skilled in regional and international cuisines, making it an ideal location to embrace their mission.
This app has already onboarded 130+ home chefs across Bengaluru, covering areas such as HSR Layout, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Bellandur, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Yelahanka, and Manyata. With a growing list of 600+ new chefs in the pipeline, Bhookle is committed to creating a vibrant home-chef community and offering customers an unmatched variety of home-cooked meals.
Bhookle is introducing a 1-hour delivery and pre-order service, giving customers the flexibility to choose between instant delivery or scheduling their orders in advance. A subscription service is also in the pipeline, offering a convenient solution for those seeking regular home-cooked meals. Additionally, Bhookle plans to expand its network by onboarding 500 new home chefs in Bengaluru by Q1 2025, ensuring more variety and choices for food lovers across the city.
Bhookle has already received an overwhelming response from early adopters in Bengaluru. 72% of customers are repeat users, with many sharing how the food brings back memories of home-cooked meals. Home chefs, in turn, appreciate the opportunity to showcase their culinary heritage and build personal connections with customers.
Bhookle has won the Best Food Delivery App of the Year at the Food Connoisseurs India Awards 2024, judged by 16 industry veterans. Standing out among eight national players, Bhookle was recognized for its innovative, community-driven approach that celebrates homemade meals with a personal touch. Unlike traditional apps, Bhookle offers dishes like “Vidhya aunty’s Special Arachivitta Sambar,” adding warmth and storytelling to every order. Co-founder Arvind Ravichandran expressed pride in the recognition, emphasizing that Bhookle’s human-first model is reshaping India’s food delivery landscape.
