Dinner from the flat next door.

Padosi is a neighbourhood marketplace for housing societies. Order home-cooked food from cooks who live in your own society, pay online, and collect it a short walk from home.

Runs in your phone’s browser, so there is nothing to download. Add it to your home screen whenever you like.

Illustration only. Dishes, cooks and prices depend on your society.

From their kitchen to your hands

Four steps, all inside the society you already live in.

  1. Join your society

    Sign in with your mobile number and a one-time code, then choose your society, tower and flat.

  2. Pick a dish

    Browse cooks from your own society. Filter by vegetarian, or by who is open right now.

  3. Pay online

    Pay at checkout. The cook confirms and tells you roughly when it will be ready.

  4. Collect with a code

    You get a notification when it is ready. Share your pickup code at handover.

Built around how a society actually works

Only your neighbours

Every society is its own small marketplace. You see cooks from your own society, and nobody from outside it.

Approved before they sell

Each cook applies and is reviewed by Padosi before their store can go live. Cooks switch their store on and off whenever they like.

Fresh, on the cook’s schedule

Cooks choose which days and hours a dish is available. It appears and disappears on its own, so you only see what can actually be ordered.

Pay first, collect later

Because you pay up front, the cook can start cooking with confidence. If a cook cannot make your order, you are refunded in full.

Reviews from people you know

Ratings and reviews come from residents who actually ordered, shown with their tower so you know they live nearby.

Optional notifications

Turn on alerts to hear when your order is accepted and when it is ready. They are off until you choose to switch them on.

Cook well? Sell to the people you live beside.

Set your own menu, prices and hours. Padosi handles payments and order tracking, and pays you out to your UPI ID.
