Tuk In Foods is an award winning food brand bringing Indian street food to homes and workplaces around the country.
Formed in 2015 with the aim of bringing an alternative to the same old sandwich offering at lunch times, the Curry-in-a-Naan was launched. Delicious, authentic curry recipes, wrapped and sealed in a naan bread and eaten on the go.
Covid-19 challenged the food to go market, so Tuk In foods had to #pivot.
They quickly developed a wider range of Indian cuisine, from ready meals through to Indian snacks. Within 2 weeks they had an online store up and running, delivering freshly made dishes the very next day with free delivery on orders over £25.
The restaurant quality food is lovingly crafted from their kitchens in Leicester and with over 300 5* reviews on reviews.io, customers love it.
They have now expanded the offer with a range of delicious, handmade, Indian condiments; Mango Chutney, Hot Mango Chutney and Lime Pickle.
