About us
About Mysuru Foods
If there is anything that unites us all South Indians, it would definitely be our love for
similar food – idli, dosa, rice, rasam, sambar, chatni, curds, upma, kesaribath,
payasam, appalam, holige, sandige, chatni pudi, Mysore pak, congress kadlekai,
hurigalu, etc., and the list goes on. They evoke fond memories spent with family and
friends while growing up. When it comes to Mysore and Bangalore, the taste buds
become more precisely inclined. Think of our hometowns and our faces light up with
the thought of all the sweets, snacks and savouries from popular joints. We Indians
are definitely in love with our food! We truly believe that the way to a man’s heart
passes through his stomach!
As we know, most well-known stores in Bangalore and Mysore may accept to courier
their products directly to you, but seldom do they merge them with foods from
multiple shops. This is where we come into picture. We can simply buy everything
you want from anywhere, put them together in one place, and courier it as one
package, and in the process, optimize efforts, time and packaging costs for you. We
could even buy non-food items as long as the requirements are clearly defined. In
short, we aggregate all your needs and put them in one basket.
Mysuru Foods offers you four-fold services through its four Verticals. Our first service is to provide you fresh foods from our own Mysuru Foods Menu.
Our second service is to fetch foods & goods that you wish to buy in any store of your choice in Bangalore or Mysore.
Our third service is in the area of NRI Services where we wish
to assist you in your legal/official/parental/property-related work in Bangalore or Mysore. If any student of Indian origin wishes to pursue his Engineering in Bangalore, we could help too.
Our fourth and last service is to introduce to you products and goods from villages, NGO’s, craftsmen, artists, etc., who need a platform to showcase their skills to our own people who live abroad.
