India, Oct. 17 -- This festive season, hosts are swapping the stress of an in-house chef for the ease and flavour-packed menus of cloud kitchens. Punn's Canteen, a cloud kitchen nestled in Lucknow's Dalibagh is stealing the spotlight. "Hiring a chef at home means no sourcing of ingredients, prepping the space, and managing the mess. It's a logistical juggle that few want during the festive rush," says Sagar Punn, founder of the cloud kitchen. He provides a compelling alternative: "The curated menus are not only cost-friendly but also entirely customisable. Whether your guests crave fiery spice, gentle flavours, or health-conscious bites, the menu bends to your taste." Their prices start from Rs349 per person for vegetarian options.
