Extraordinary
South Indian
Catering in Orlando

From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we bring the soul of South India to your table through healthy, fresh food made from the heart and inspired by the meals we grew up sharing at home.

Since 2019

Inspired by Amma

Bringing the taste of Chennai, Tamilnadu, India to Central Florida.

John grew up in Chennai, Tamil Nadu — a city on the south-eastern coast of India known for its rich food heritage and deep sense of hospitality. At a young age, he developed a love for cooking as he watched his Amma (mother) joyfully serve their family and community with food.

Her genuine love and generosity through food inspired John to join her in the kitchen — and planted a seed that would eventually travel thousands of miles from home.

Amma taught us that food is one of the most powerful ways to love people well.

Inspired by family, carried forward for every table we serve

More Than a Meal

Every meal creates a brighter future.

A portion of every purchase pays for the education of children rescued from slavery in South India. Before opening John's South Indian Kitchen, John spent over a decade as a social worker rescuing and rehabilitating survivors of forced labor trafficking.

When you eat with us, you're part of something bigger.

John and Rachel, y'all were absolutely lovely and this is not the last time we shall meet!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! People really enjoyed it! Many people commented appreciating the attention to detail with the allergen labels as well. I really loved the korma, and enjoyed the leftover bisibele bath too!

Weekly Meal Delivery

I love it because they have the vegetarian option which is awesome! My husband finally agreed to "try" a sample and he loved his butter chicken dish as well!

Caroline G.

The service is wonderful! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The butter chicken is amazing! It goes extremely well with the Garlic Naan. And only $3 per side for the Naan — amazingly fair price!

Christine S.
Winter Park

The food is delicious. The portion sizes are also very generous — lots of protein to be had. The service is great as always. John even dropped off our food to us inside so we could grab a beer while he prepared it.
