Kartika & Divya
We’re Divya & Kartika – two friends who met in London, drawn together by a shared love for food, music, and the feeling of home. Our journey is shaped by years of living, learning, and travelling across India – soaking in its diverse flavours, stories, and spirit.
Divya, a Pahadi at heart, has lived and wandered through many parts of India since she was 16. Kartika, a Malayali born and raised as a true-blue Delhiite, brings a beautiful balance of Southern roots and Northern rhythm.
Baithak is our love letter to India – a space where Pahadi comfort, Kerala spice, and flavours from across the subcontinent come together in harmony. Every dish, every note, every sip is a tribute to the many Indias we’ve carried within us.
