Section 01

What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It lets the site recognise your browser between page loads — which is how a shopping cart remembers what you put in it.

This policy covers cookies and the related browser storage the site uses. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.

Section 02

What We Set

One cookie. It is strictly necessary — without it you could not stay signed in or keep a cart.

PHPSESSID
Your session identifier. It is how the site knows that the person adding an item to the cart is the same person who checks out, and that you are signed in. It holds a random identifier only — no name, address or payment detail is stored in the cookie itself.
Duration: until you close your browser, or after 2 hours of inactivity
Essential
Required

How it is protected

  • HttpOnly — scripts cannot read it, which limits the damage of a cross-site scripting bug
  • Secure — over HTTPS it is never sent in the clear
  • SameSite=Lax — it is not sent on cross-site requests, which blocks a class of forgery attack
  • The identifier is regenerated when you sign in, so a session cannot be fixed in advance by someone else
Your cart lives on our server, not in a cookie. The cookie only carries the identifier that points at it. Prices are always recalculated from our menu database, so nothing stored in your browser can change what an order costs.
Section 03

What We Don't Set

Worth stating plainly, because most sites do use these:

  • No advertising cookies. We do not run ads and do not let anyone advertise to you based on your visit.
  • No analytics cookies. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no heatmap or session-recording tools.
  • No cross-site tracking. We do not follow you to other websites.
  • No data brokers. We do not sell or rent your data.
Because we set only a strictly necessary cookie, there is no consent banner on this site. There is nothing optional to consent to.
Section 04

Third Parties

Google Fonts

Our typefaces are served by Google Fonts. Google does not set cookies when serving a font file, but your browser does contact Google's servers, which means Google receives your IP address as part of that request.

Google Sign-In

The "Continue with Google" button is enabled on this site. If you use it, Google sets its own cookies on accounts.google.com under Google's own policies, not ours. We receive only your name, email address and profile picture. We never see your Google password.

WhatsApp

Order confirmation and support happen over WhatsApp. Following a WhatsApp link takes you to a service run by Meta under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not control what it stores.

Ordering platforms

Links to Zomato and Swiggy lead to their own websites. Anything they store once you arrive is governed by their policies.

Section 05

Your Control

Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies — usually under Settings, then Privacy.

Blocking our session cookie will break the site. You will not be able to sign in, keep a cart, or place an order. This is a technical consequence, not a penalty — the cookie is the only thing linking your requests together.

Signing out clears your session immediately. You can also delete cookies for this site at any time; the next page load simply starts a fresh session.
