Nina Pakesh is proud to offer the finest Indian cuisine, Made from authentic south asian recipes. Authentic Foods has a large and varied menu of both traditional and vegetarian foods. Nina says Indian food is vibrant and full of exciting flavors. The regional cuisines are numerous and totally diverse in character reflecting the size of the country, its huge population, its history and the many religions practiced.

• India is a vast melting pot of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Jains and Parsees.
• It is impossible to appreciate the complexity of Indian food without some knowledge of these religions and the dietary laws that govern them.
• The majority of the population are Hindus most of whom are vegetarian, but those who do eat meat will not touch beef and the same applies to the Sikh community.
• The next biggest religious group in India are the Muslims for whom pork is a total taboo as it is for the Jewish population. Muslims will also only eat halal meat.
• Buddhists and Jains are strict vegetarians with Jains even restricting root vegetables from their diets.
• Christians and Parsees eat all types of meat, fish and vegetables

From a small start in 1987, when Nina first started cooking for local shops until today with a business that is growing.
