“The best memories are made when the food is hot and the gossip is juicy.
Meet the Founders

Harsh & Reetu

A husband-and-wife duo behind the flavors, the hustle, and the stories cooking up in our kitchen.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when two people who are madly in love with food (and each other) team up — you’re looking at it. This isn’t just a business for us; it’s a decade-long dream finally coming to life.

We met over ten years ago, working side-by-side in the high-energy chaos of a bustling restaurant kitchen. We logged countless hours, perfected recipes, and realized we shared the exact same dream: to one day open a place of our own.

“We knew that great food does more than fill a stomach — it brings people together, sparks conversations, creates memories. We wanted to build a brand that felt like home.” — Harsh & Reetu

Our Journey

From a Shared Dream
to Your Plate

A Decade of Heat, Heart & Hospitality

Our journey didn’t start in a boardroom — it started under the chaotic, high-energy lights of a bustling restaurant kitchen. That’s where we met over ten years ago. Working side-by-side in the restaurant industry, we logged countless hours, perfected recipes, and realized we shared the exact same dream: to one day open a place of our own.

From Our Apartment Kitchen to Yours

Three years ago, we decided it was time to leap. With a lot of passion and very little extra space, we launched our first baby — Apna Tiffin Service — right out of our small apartment kitchen.

The days were long, the kitchen was crowded, but the love we received was overwhelming. Thanks to your incredible support, Apna Tiffin Service grew from a humble home setup into a thriving community staple.

Enter GappeBaj: The Sister Brand

With Apna Tiffin Service beautifully feeding your daily routines, we felt the itch to bring the other half of our dream to life. GappeBaj is born from that exact spirit — the lively sister brand to Apna Tiffin Service.

Where Apna Tiffin brings you comfort and consistency, GappeBaj is all about celebration, bold flavors, and — as the name suggests — unfiltered, joyful conversations over incredible food.

Thank you for being a part of our second chapter. Pull up a chair, grab a bite, and let the gappe begin.
