Deep Indian Kitchen

We are Deep Indian Kitchen®. You may have seen us in the frozen aisles of 20000 natural and conventional grocery mass club and drug stores or been to our chain of 3 fastcasual restaurants in NYC and NJ. Or if you shop at Indian grocery stores you know our parent company Deep Foods Inc. as your trusted manufacturer and brand with over 800 SKUs. Our brand is on fire now but it hasn’t been long since late 2019 when we began a turnaround and rebrand of our Tandoor Chef® frozen brand and Indikitch® restaurants to Deep Indian Kitchen®. Our differentiated approach and products have made us the #1 fastest growing natural frozen entrees brand in America with rapid household penetration growth over 186K followers on Instagram and TikTok…we could go on.
