How It Started

Food That Feels Like Coming Home

Finding pure vegetarian Indian food in Australia shouldn’t feel impossible.

Shared kitchens can make it difficult to know whether a meal is truly vegetarian. Even when options are available, the familiar flavours of a home-cooked Indian meal—and thoughtful choices such as no onion and no garlic—can be difficult to find.

Saffron Tastie Foods began in Brisbane to change that. We prepare authentic home-style food in a dedicated vegetarian kitchen using traditional recipes, carefully selected ingredients and the same care we would bring to our own family table.

From ready-to-eat meals and everyday favourites to snacks, breads and catering, our purpose is simple: to make the food you love easier to enjoy.
