Our Story
Dhakshin Kichdi is a brand owned by Ramani Shri Foods Pvt. Ltd., created with a vision to bring a fresh approach to food service. What started as one person’s idea, later strengthened by family and friends, grew into a mission to serve traditional food that is both healthy and affordable. With guidance from an in-house culinary expert, the team crafted a unique khichdi by blending South Indian spices with millet and rice recipes. This fusion led to the development of Dhakshin Kichdi, focused on being tasty, healthy, and affordable.
Why Dhakshin Kichdi?
Dhakshin Kichdi creates traditional foods with modern methods, establishing itself as an authentic brand for healthy, tasty, and hygienic dishes at affordable prices. Operating from a centralised 3,000-square-foot certified industrial kitchen, the company follows all FSSAI and HSS protocols.
Experience
Our experience serving customers under the Bhojanarpanam brand inspired us to create a concept that truly addresses their needs for appetite, health, hygiene, and affordability. Over the years, we realized that food is not just about filling the stomach, but about delivering nourishment in a way that people can trust every single day.
With more than 15 years in the F&B industry, we have witnessed changing customer preferences, lifestyle demands, and evolving standards of quality. These insights pushed us to design an approach that balances traditional values with modern requirements. We took extra care to ensure that taste, nutrition, and hygiene were never compromised, while keeping prices within reach for everyone.
Every step of our journey has been guided by strict adherence to protocols and industry standards. From sourcing raw materials responsibly to maintaining hygiene in preparation and service, we built our processes around transparency and trust. This dedication not only helped us earn loyal customers but also inspired us to scale this concept into something bigger that can impact communities on a much larger level.
