Hungry Birds Start a plan

Our story

A home kitchen in Cuttack that refused to cook oily food

Hungry Birds is a small, home-grown healthy food cloud kitchen. Here is how it started, what went wrong, and why we keep showing up.

The Hungry Birds journey

  1. Two businesses that didn't work

    Before Hungry Birds, we failed in two businesses. We lost money and made mistakes. Every failure taught us something.

  2. A passion over a job

    After a B.Ed from Ravenshaw University, everyone said “get a job”. With a low budget and post-graduation still going, a cloud kitchen at home made sense.

    I turned my passion into my profession.
  3. Hello, Cuttack

    Hungry Birds opens as a home cloud kitchen: healthy food without compromising taste, made without refined oil or refined sugar.

  4. 1 lakh+ views and sold out

    DMs, orders and over a lakh views in the first three days. One day we sold out before time and had to say no to orders.

  5. Lite & Pro plans

    Subscriptions launch: Lite for everyday healthy meals and Pro for fitness goals. Delivery is free within 2 km.

  6. Thank you, Adi

    For Raja, we thanked Adi, who delivers every Hungry Birds order with a smile.

  7. Healthy food for students

    Cheaper monthly and one-day plans for students, plus single meals at a student-friendly price.

  8. Chef and delivery boy

    When our delivery partner fell ill, the founder cooked, packed and delivered every order. No excuses, no cancelled orders.

    When someone trusts us with their meal, we show up.
  9. A bigger kitchen

    So many subscription requests came in that we're expanding from the home kitchen into a new one, so we can serve more of Cuttack, faster.

  10. Instant orders

    Single healthy meals whenever you want them. Follow us so you hear first.

Small moments

Not just meals: moments we're proud of

“Love from Wife”

A wife ordered a healthy meal for her husband and asked us to add a note. We were happy to.

Open after closing

A client was unwell and needed something light. The kitchen was closed, so we opened it again.

Pens and potential

We met two young girls selling pens instead of being in school, and chose to help with more than a sale.

Gyms first

To reach the right people, we teamed up with gyms and asked for honest reviews.

“Sometimes, choosing what you actually need is better than choosing what everyone else has.”

Hungry Birds, on setting up the new kitchen

Small kitchen, honest food

We still cook every order fresh, still drive 30 km for good paper bowls, and still read every DM ourselves. Growing slowly, the right way.
