A home marketplace for Metro Manila — built around the food and flavors you grew up with.

HomeBazaar is a marketplace for home-made living in Metro Manila. We connect you to the people already cooking, baking, and sourcing the things you miss from home — starting with Indian home kitchens, and growing into other cuisines and home grocery over time. One place for the food that tastes like home, and the ingredients to make it yourself.

There are an estimated 30,000–50,000 Indians living in Metro Manila. Many of us came here for work or family — and almost all of us, at some point, have stood in front of a Foodpanda or Grab search bar looking for the food we grew up eating, and come up empty.

Restaurants in Manila do an excellent job at the few hero dishes visiting tourists want. But the everyday food — the dal that tastes like the one your mother made, the perfectly puffed roti, the simple sabzi that you actually want on a Tuesday — that food lives in home kitchens. And home kitchens have always been invisible to the big delivery platforms.

Meanwhile, we noticed something else: there are home cooks all across the city already feeding their neighbours and friends, quietly running businesses out of WhatsApp groups and word of mouth. Aunties making tiffins from a condo unit in BGC. Young chefs experimenting with their grandmother's recipes from a shared kitchen in Makati. Caterers doing weekly drops in Alabang. They have the food. They just don't have a platform.

Ghar Ka Khana— our Indian home-cooking vertical — exists to bridge that gap: to give home cooks the tools to run real businesses, and the Indian community in Manila a single place to find the food they miss. It's where HomeBazaar started.

We're a two-sided marketplace. Home cooks list their kitchens, publish daily menus, and offer weekly tiffin subscriptions. Customers browse, order single meals or subscribe to a weekly plan, and pay through the platform. We handle the boring parts — payments, order routing, scheduling, notifications — so cooks can focus on cooking and customers can focus on eating.

Two ordering models are supported today:

• Daily menu orders:a cook publishes what they're cooking that day, sets a cutoff time, and customers order before it. Pick-up or delivery.
• Weekly tiffin subscriptions: a cook offers a recurring lunch or dinner tiffin plan — same menu rotation, same delivery slot, weekly auto-renewal until the customer cancels.

Our cooks aren't restaurants. They range from experienced aunties who've been cooking for friends-of-friends for years, to professional caterers who needed a better way to run their existing operation, to tech-comfortable young chefs starting their first food business. What they share: real cooking, real kitchens, real care.

We review every kitchen before activating it on the platform — a real human checks the cook's information, kitchen photos, and menu before customers can place an order. Payments are processed through PayMongo, the Philippines' trusted payments infrastructure. Customer feedback tools and ratings are coming soon and will be a core part of how cooks build their reputation on the platform.

We're a young platform — if something goes wrong, please email us at varunkhanna2004@gmail.com. We read every message.

We're building HomeBazaarone community at a time, on purpose. Indian home cooking is live today. Next come other cuisines — Filipino, Chinese, Korean home kitchens, each with its own community of cooks. And we're building a home grocery side too, so trusted local sellers can deliver the staples and ingredients you cook with — not just the finished meal. Each step launches only when it's ready: cooks who care, customers who'll return, quality we can stand behind.
