While almost the entire world was closed during past lockdowns there
have been couple of industry sectors that bloomed during the COVID-19
pandemic. Apart from the essentials providers and OTT channels,
home based food businesses also grew significantly. The citizens’
inability to go out of their homes gave rise to a number of home-based
entrepreneurs. As people can’t resist the urge eat their favourite
foods, this temptation gave birth to new opportunities to cloud kitchens
in Vizag. Here is a list of the cloud kitchens in Vizag for all the food lovers stuck at home: #1 8-2-8 Chef:Started
in 2014 by K. Sumanth, this is one of the oldest cloud kitchens in
Vizag, based in MVP Colony. When asked about the idea behind starting
8-2-8 Chef, Sumanth says it was the lack of food delivery services at
night, during his college days, which motivated him. He added that the
menu, during the budding stages of the kitchen, was limited to biryanis
and starters, whereas today they serve seafood, various types of fried
rice, and non-vegetarian starters. MVP Colony, being a hub for college
students, and late night working professionals, has helped the business
expand, reaching to various parts of the city. 8-2-8 Chef delivers food,
from MVP Colony, to areas going up to Jagadamba, R&B Colony,
Rushikonda, and Novotel Varun Beach. The timings of the kitchen are 8 pm
to 3:30 am daily. One can order on Zomato and Swiggy, or call up +91
8019828828, to place an order. #2 Faasos:Faasos,
which is spread across 35+ cities in India, has opened up its services
in Vizag recently. This cloud kitchen serves wraps, vegetarian side
dishes, refreshing beverages, and mouthwatering desserts. The Chicken
Bhuna Wrap, Cheese Melt Paneer Wrap, Barbeque Chicken Overload Wrap,
Indulgence Brownie, and Hazelnut Cold Coffee are the must try items from
Faasos. This successful start up was once a Kolkata Roll store chain,
which was started in Pune in 2004. After gaining experience in the food
business sector, the founders decided to start Faasos, in 2014, setting
up their base in Pune. Vizagites can order food from Faasos on Swiggy,
