Chennai Welcomes Back the Taste of Amritsar: The Kitchen by Chef Deepa Relaunches with Pure Vegetarian Punjabi Classics Made in Authentic Style

Chennai’s food lovers have a reason to celebrate as The Kitchen by Chef Deepa officially relaunches, bringing back its much-loved, pure vegetarian Punjabi and Amritsari cuisine to the city. Founded by Chef Deepa Arora, Director, Chef’s Table Studio, the cloud kitchen revives the soulful flavours of Punjab with a promise of authenticity, purity, and homestyle warmth.

After a brief pause, the brand returns stronger- reintroducing Chennai to traditional Amritsari recipes prepared the way they are in Punjabi homes: slow-cooked, rich in flavour, and made only with pure ghee.

Chef Deepa Arora’s journey into professional cooking began not in a culinary school, but in her own home. Having learned authentic Amritsari vegetarian cuisine from her mother-in-law from Amritsar, she mastered recipes rooted in tradition and family kitchens.

Today, her relaunch reinforces her core belief: food should feel like it’s made at home , but with the refinement of a premium culinary experience.

In a city bustling with delivery options, The Kitchen by Chef Deepa stands apart for its uncompromising authenticity:

• 100% Pure Vegetarian Punjabi Cuisine
• No artificial colours
• No preservatives
• No refined oil used
• Cooked only in pure ghee
• Selected Spices and key ingredients sourced from Amritsar for original flavour

Every dish reflects everyday food from homes in Amritsar , not commercial adaptations. Guests consistently note the difference in aroma, richness, and depth of flavour.

Chef Deepa Brings Amritsar to Chennai. While Chennai offers diverse cuisines, authentic Amritsari vegetarian food remains rare. The Kitchen by Chef Deepa fills this gap by serving:

• Traditional Amritsari daily house food
• Festive Punjabi specials
• Jain-friendly menu options
• Family meal boxes
• Corporate catering
• Party trays & bulk orders
• Custom festive catering

Signature highlights from her menu include beloved Amritsari favourites such as Rajma Chawal, Kadhi Chawal, Kulcha Chole, Maa di Dal served with Ajwani Paratha, Paneer Multani Tikka, Dum Aloo, Rajma Tikki, Bharwe Aloo Tikki Chaat, and refreshing Punjabi Lassi – dishes that celebrate the true comfort and vibrancy of Punjab’s vegetarian culinary heritage.

Operating as a cloud kitchen in Chennai, the brand continues to prioritise a personal touch. Chef Deepa often personally connects with guests to understand their palate preferences , reinforcing her belief that food is deeply personal and must be tailored thoughtfully.

Regular menu analysis ensures that customer favourites are retained while seasonal and festive additions keep the offerings fresh and relevant.

Coming Soon: The Chef’s Table Experience

The next exciting chapter is the upcoming Chef’s Table concept – an intimate, pre-booked dining experience for small groups of friends and family. Guests will be able to enjoy a curated, pure vegetarian Amritsari meal in a storytelling-led format that celebrates Punjabi culinary heritage in a private setting.

This exclusive experience is expected to launch soon.

Positioned as a homely yet premium vegetarian culinary offering, the kitchen blends nostalgia with quality. From festive menus during Holi and other celebrations to customised catering for weddings and corporate events, the brand continues to expand its footprint while maintaining strict standards in hygiene, ingredient sourcing, and staff training.
