A family in India receiving a meal ordered from abroad

How to Order Food Delivery in India from Abroad

You are far away. Dinner at their table does not have to be. Order from a restaurant near your family in India, pay with your own card, and we take it from there.

Why you will love it.

No Indian number, no OTP, no UPI

No Indian number, no Indian OTP, no UPI, and nothing to install. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you.

Pay in USD with any card

Any credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, from 190+ countries. Payments are secured by Stripe.

Food from local restaurants

Biryani, dosa, pizza, birthday cakes, fresh sweets, and flowers from shops near them.

500+ cities across India

Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and hundreds of smaller towns.

What we take care of.

You do not need a perfect address

We need the building or area, the city, and something in the door field - a flat number, or just "reception" or "dorm" if that is the truth. Free text is fine. Our team fills in the rest with the person receiving the order.

Schedule up to 7 days ahead

Order now, or pick a day and a meal window up to a week in advance. Right for birthdays, anniversaries, festivals, or any occasion you want to land on time.

We check with them before we dispatch

We call or WhatsApp the person receiving the order before it goes out, so someone is there when the food arrives.

Send it for the occasion.

Daily Meals for Family

From people who send food home.

Excellent service, food was ordered from Washington, DC and delivered to Pollachi, India in minutes. Highly recommend this service to send food to loved ones in India.

Ajit B., Washington, DC, USA

I live in Dallas and my parents are in Coimbatore. FoodToIndia has become my go-to for sending them lunch. The first time a meal showed up at their door, my mom called me in tears.

Priya K., Dallas, USA

My parents are retired in Mangaluru. I send them idli and filter coffee from their favorite local cafe every Sunday morning. It's become our weekly ritual.

Everything people ask before the first order.

Yes. Even NRIs visiting India can use FoodtoIndia if their international cards get declined on Swiggy/Zomato or if they don't have an Indian phone number for OTP.

If delivery fails due to issues on our end (restaurant closed, delivery partner unavailable), you receive a full refund. We actively monitor all orders to minimize such situations.

Enter the recipient's address in India, browse local restaurants near them, pay in USD with any international card, and we handle the local order and delivery. The same steps work whether you are ordering for family, friends, colleagues, or yourself, and from any country - the USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Qatar, or anywhere else.

Swiggy and Zomato are built around Indian phone logins and UPI. Swiggy has an international login now, but delivery usually still expects an Indian contact number and international cards fail on some gateways. FoodtoIndia fixes all of these.

Yes, it's the exact same food from the exact same restaurants. We're not a separate kitchen. We simply help you place orders at local restaurants that you couldn't access directly from abroad.

We email you a tracking link once the order is dispatched. The tracking comes to you, not to your recipient. Our dispatchers monitor every order and can intervene if there are any issues.

Yes, FoodtoIndia works in 500+ cities across India. Enter any address and we'll show you restaurants that deliver there. If delivery isn't available in a particular area, we'll let you know.

Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons people use FoodtoIndia. They do not need an app, a smartphone, an Indian phone number, or an OTP, and they pay nothing. You place and pay for the order from your side; they only need to be home to answer the door.

Yes, as separate orders. Each order goes to one address from one restaurant near that address, so parents in one city and a sibling in another are two orders rather than one split delivery.

Send them dinner tonight.

Start with the address. The rest takes a few minutes.
