Charity

Beyond the table.

Rasoi was built on the idea that hospitality should reach further than the table. Every booking, every takeaway, every shared plate quietly funds something else.

Our Belief

A kitchen that gives more than it takes.

From the very beginning, Rasoi was built on a simple principle — that a busy restaurant should mean more than a busy kitchen. A share of every plate, every takeaway and every event quietly goes back out into the world: into schools, into meals, into clinics for people who otherwise have nothing.

Years on, that principle is the reason we open every night.

"When you sit with us, you're already part of it."

The Impact So Far

Quietly, every single day.

School Sponsorship

Putting more than 160 children through school.

For years we've sponsored children across rural India through their schooling — uniforms, books, fees, meals — children whose families could not otherwise afford to send them. Education is the single biggest lever any family can pull, and we're proud to keep pulling on it. Every dish at Rasoi helps fund another year in a classroom somewhere.

100,000+ Meals

Hot food, in the hands of those who need it.

Across both India and Wales, Rasoi has served more than 100,000 free meals — to people sleeping rough, to families in crisis, to community centres and shelters. We don't keep a tally for the number on a press release; we keep it because every plate matters.

Medical & Eye Camps

Free care for those who couldn't otherwise reach it.

We fund and run free medical clinics and eye camps in regions of India where access to basic healthcare is simply not available — restoring sight, treating preventable illness, and bringing dignity back to people who'd been written off.
