We've been around for 15 years and we're determined to stay true to our roots. You could say that we're a bit stubborn - it's just that we really know how to make traditional pies and samoosas. Here's how we got here...
Not a year many people know much about... In 1989, Mr Yunus Abdool and his wife Zeenat took over a small oriental fast food take- away, at the MarkPark shopping centre in the heart of Vereeniging , and called it Indian Delights.

| In 1990, the first of Indian Delights van hit the roads, complete in crimson red, which remains as iconic today as it did then
|
1991 was an important landmark, when a tiny factory in Lenasia was established as the home of Indian Delights. Producing wholesome homemade stews and curries, meat products, pies, “vetkoek” and samosas and ensuring good quality with an exceptionally unique taste. From here, Indian Delights continued to grow in popularity, making daily deliveries by bicycle to the local area.

|
Up until 1997,Indian Delights had still been making wholesome take-away foods. With the increase in demand for oriental snacks and the fast growing pie and samoosa popularity, this was but the beginning of a long delicious tale to follow.

|
| Delhi Delicious launched their first ever flagship store at The Glen shopping centre in Johannesburg. Customers from diverse ethnicities are introduced to the first ever oriental snack store in the country.

Delhi Delicious expands their retail stores across the country. Customers are hooked on the new and improved recipes. A total of 15 stores at this point and a steady growth of 2 stores per year show the true potential of homemade oriental snacks.
Delhi Delicious finds a new home. The new factory is 5 times the size of the old one and is now able to experiment on new and exciting products.
This year marks the launch of the iconic chicken and mushroom pie which is to be an all- time favourite and rockets to the top of pie flavour sales.
