Food should have a soul.

Vidhyas comes from twenty years of testing what works. The founder has spent those two decades learning heat, spice and dough.

Three things the food is built on.

Pure ingredients

We buy pure raw ingredients and check every one. A single spice can change a dish.

Extracted essence

Slow reduction and hand-blending bring out the natural oils and deep flavour in every filling.

The hand-made touch

The pastry is laminated by hand by a cook with twenty years of practice.

Racks of freshly baked pies in the kitchen — The oven rack

A pot of slow-cooked curry gravy simmering — The gravy pot

These scenes are illustrative. Real photos from the kitchen are in the gallery.

Safe for every guest

Every variant runs on its own.

All variants are produced in independent runs, so there is no risk of cross-contamination for clients who do not eat certain products. A box of butter chicken pies holds butter chicken pies, and nothing else.

That is also why each pie carries a stamp on its crust. See what the stamps mean.

B-BBEE

A 100% black female-owned kitchen.

Vidhyas cares about local jobs and local ownership, and about getting the crust right. When you buy a box, you back a business built on hard work.

How Vidhyas works

The kitchen does one thing: make the food properly, run after run. You send one order, get one price, and the boxes come to your door packed cold.
