Why “Harkara”?
There used to be someone whose only job was carrying the truth.
A harkara was the royal messenger. The runner who carried word between cities, unopened and unchanged. Somewhere between the kitchen and your table, food lost its messenger.
We brought him back.
The part nobody talks about
We read the label on a ₹20 biscuit.
Then eat a ₹1,000 dinner knowing nothing.
Which oil. Whose dairy. How fresh. You'll never know. A 5-star rating was never designed to tell you. It was designed to make you order.
Looks incredible.
Cooked in what? Nobody will tell you.
TRANSPARENCY
The mission
Labels became normal for packaged food. Restaurants are next.
Nutrition labels were once resisted too. Today no one would buy a packet without one. We're building the same standard for eating out. Every restaurant, every dish, every ingredient, shared openly.
One day every menu will be transparent. We're just early.
The Trust Score
A score you can't buy. Only earn.
Built from what restaurants share and how diners actually feel after eating. Not from reviews anyone can write.
17 things restaurants tell you upfront
From the oil in the kadhai to who supplies the milk, partner restaurants put it on the record before you order.
What diners actually felt
No essays, no stars. One tap: did the taste hold up, and how did you feel two hours later? That's the review.
Cooking oil
Cold-pressed groundnut
Dairy
100% farm-fresh A2 milk
Sweetener
Raw jaggery & honey
Hygiene
Hairnets & gloves, always
Freezer
No frozen gravy bases
How do you feel, two hours after dinner?
That answer, light or heavy, is the most honest review a meal can get. Try it: drag the slider and watch the score respond.
A meal with nothing to hide
Light & energizedCold-pressed oils, A2 dairy, fresh everything, shared before you ordered. Two hours later you feel light, and you know exactly why.

Ingredient Search
Search by ingredient, not by stars.
Avoiding palm oil? Looking for A2 dairy? Type the ingredient and see exactly which kitchens match, and which stay silent.
Because “4.2 stars” tells you nothing about what's in the food.
Illustrative results. Live in the Harkara app.
Delivery apps solved distance.
And quietly billed you for everything else.
Add up what convenience actually costs. In money, freshness, and time spent staring at a tracking screen.
₹100+ in extra fees
Delivery fee, packaging, surge, platform fee. The bill grows before checkout.
Marked-up menus
The same dish costs more in the app than on the restaurant's own menu.
No rider, no dinner
Rain, peak hours, festivals. Your order sits in limbo waiting for a courier.
Cold and soggy on arrival
A hot fresh meal loses everything in a 30-minute box ride across town.
Hostage to the tracker
40 minutes watching a map for a restaurant that's 5 minutes away.
Pickup, perfected
“Bhaiya, pack kar dena,
10 minute mein aata hoon.”
India already picks up food. Over a phone call that goes unanswered, with no menu, no payment, and food that isn't started when you arrive. Harkara is the call-ahead, perfected.
01Order ahead
Pick your dishes at dine-in menu prices. No markup, no fees.
02We watch your ETA

The Traditional Dining Trap
We feed our bodies restaurant food based entirely on pretty photos and fake reviews, leaving the actual ingredients a total mystery. Let's see what happens when you place a standard blind order.

A note from the founders
“We read the label on a ₹20 biscuit, then order a ₹1,000 dinner knowing nothing about it. That contradiction bothered us enough to quit and build the answer. We're starting with restaurants that cook with pride, and diners who care what goes in their body.”
