About Rekha’s Kitchen

What is Rekha’s Kitchen?

Rekha’s Kitchen is a pure-vegetarian, home-style cloud kitchen at U.G.F 02 Plot 11-12 FH, Avantika 2, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh 201002. We cook North Indian ghar ka khana — parathas, dal, sabzi, rice, poori, khichdi, snacks and vrat food — and also make homemade aachar, tiffin plans and party orders. Open 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM, all days.

Is the food really homemade?

It is home-style food cooked from Rekha’s family recipes in our FSSAI-licensed kitchen, not a factory. Every dish is cooked after you order, in home quantities, the way it’s made in an Indian home — ghar jaisa khana.

Do you use desi ghee?

Some dishes are made in desi ghee, and they say so in their name — for example Desi Ghee Tawa Roti, Desi Ghee Aloo Roti and our desi ghee halwas. Plain versions of rotis are listed separately. Our aachar is made in mustard oil.

Do you have dine-in?

No — we are a delivery kitchen (cloud kitchen), so there is no seating. Order in our app and we deliver to your door.

Ordering

How can I place an order?

Order in the Rekha’s Kitchen app on Google Play — it has our full menu, party bookings, aachar and tiffin plans, and live tracking. Selected dishes are also on Zomato and Swiggy. This website shows the menu but doesn’t take orders.

What is the minimum order value?

In our app there is currently no minimum order value. Delivery charges are ₹40 on orders under ₹200, ₹20 on ₹200–₹300 and free from ₹301; the exact amount is shown at checkout before you pay.

Can I customise my order?

Yes. Many dishes have options (like spice level) in the app, and you can add a cooking note to each dish. For anything else, message us on WhatsApp.

Do you accept cash on delivery?

Orders in our app are paid in advance by UPI, debit/credit card, netbanking (through Razorpay) or from your Rekha’s Kitchen wallet. For Zomato and Swiggy orders, their payment options apply.

Delivery

What are your timings?

Our kitchen is open 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM, all days. The app shows if we’re open right now and when we open next.

How long does delivery take?

Usually 30–45 minutes after the kitchen accepts your order; a little longer at peak hours. You can follow your order and the rider live in the app.

Do you deliver to my area?

We deliver within about 7 km of our kitchen in Avantika 2, Ghaziabad, including Avantika, Govindpuram, Shastri Nagar, Raj Nagar, Raj Nagar Extension, Kavi Nagar. The app checks your exact address before you order. See our delivery areas page for details on each area.

Food & menu

Is all your food vegetarian?

Yes — we are a 100% pure-vegetarian kitchen. We never use meat, fish or eggs.

Do you use onion and garlic?

Most dishes contain onion and garlic. We also have a Vrat (fasting) section, and you can add a note to a dish if you need it without onion and garlic — we’ll do our best.

Is the food fresh?

Everything is cooked after you order. We don’t use pre-cooked or frozen meals.

Do you cater to food allergies?

Please tell us about allergies before ordering. Our kitchen handles dairy, nuts, gluten and other common allergens, so we can’t rule out cross-contact.

Party orders

How far ahead do I need to book?

At least 12 hours ahead (a few dishes may need more notice; the app shows it). Pick the date and time in the app — you can book even when the kitchen is closed.

When is my booking confirmed?

When our kitchen accepts it. Until then you can cancel it in the app with an instant refund to your wallet.

Homemade aachar

Is your aachar homemade, and does it have preservatives?

Yes, it is made by hand in small batches from family recipes, in pure mustard oil with no artificial preservatives.

How does aachar delivery work?

Choose the aachar and a date in the app. We pack it at our kitchen and send it by courier; it usually reaches you in a few days.

How long does it last?

Stored in a cool, dry place and always taken out with a dry spoon, our aachar keeps for many months. The oil layer on top is normal and helps preserve it.

Do you take bulk or gifting orders?

Yes — for weddings, festivals or corporate gifts, message us on WhatsApp for special pricing.

Tiffin plans

How do tiffin plans work?

Choose a lunch or dinner plan in the app. Plans are paid from your Rekha’s Kitchen wallet, and a fresh meal arrives in your slot on every plan day.

What is in a tiffin and how much is it?

Lunch Tiffin (₹99): Dal, seasonal sabzi, 4 phulka, rice, salad. Changes daily. Dinner Tiffin (₹99): Dal, paneer or seasonal sabzi, 4 phulka, rice. Changes daily.

Can I skip a day?

Yes — skip a day in the app up to the cutoff, 3 hours before your slot. Your plan is extended by that day, so you don’t lose it.

What if I cancel my plan?

The unused part of the plan is refunded to your wallet instantly.

Payments & refunds

Which payment methods do you accept?

UPI, debit/credit cards and netbanking through Razorpay, plus your Rekha’s Kitchen wallet balance.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, until the kitchen accepts it. Go to My Orders, open the order and tap Cancel. The full amount goes to your wallet instantly.

What if the kitchen cancels my order?

If the kitchen rejects or cancels your order, or doesn’t accept it in time, the online part of your payment goes back to your bank, UPI or card in 5–7 working days, and any wallet part returns to your wallet instantly.

My money was deducted but no order was placed.

If a payment is captured but the order wasn’t created, the amount is credited to your Rekha’s Kitchen wallet automatically. Contact us if you don’t see it within a few minutes.
