For us, food is love, connection, and nostalgia. From childhood memories of lunchboxes packed by our grandmothers to vibrant family meals, food has always been at the heart of who we are. That’s why we’re passionate about creating meals that feel like they’re made with care—because they are.
Our reusable dabbas keep your food warm and eco-friendly, perfect for busy office-goers or anyone craving a hassle-free, wholesome meal.
Meet the team: Akanksha, our head chef, crafts every dish with love; Oliver ensures smooth operations; and Subba brings decades of business expertise. Together, we’re here to make mealtime easier, tastier, and more meaningful.
Join us and experience the joy of a hot, fresh meal delivered with care. At Dabba Cartel, every bite is made with love.
Dabba what?
Dabba Cartel, we celebrate the timeless tradition of the dabba—the iconic Indian stacked tiffin that has symbolized home, heritage, and sustainability for generations. Inspired by the legendary Dabbawalas, who meticulously delivered home-cooked meals across bustling cities, we bring you the authentic flavors of India with a modern, convenient twist.
Each layer of our dabbas holds a carefully curated dish, offering a diverse culinary experience that nourishes both the body and soul. From rich curries to aromatic rice and handcrafted sides, every meal is a tribute to the vibrant tapestry of Indian cuisine.
Just as Indian migrants carried their dabbas across the world, preserving the taste of home while embracing new influences, Dabba Cartel continues this legacy. We blend traditional recipes with contemporary flavors, ensuring that every bite connects you to the warmth of homemade food—no matter where you are.
Whether you’re sharing a meal with loved ones or indulging in a moment of self-care, Dabba Cartel delivers more than just food—we bring you a sense of belonging, nostalgia, and the joy of Indian cooking.
