Press Release
Roshni Sheffield Asian Women’s Resource Centre proudly announces the grand opening of Roshni Kitchen, a social enterprise dedicated to celebrating South Asian women's culinary talents and promoting healthy, mindful eating. Since 1992, Roshni has been empowering South Asian women, and Roshni Kitchen marks an exciting new chapter in this mission.
Roshni Kitchen is more than just a restaurant; it is a vibrant community hub where flavors, nourishment, and learning come together. The menu offers a unique blend of healthy, home-cooked meals inspired by Ayurvedic principles and beloved Indian street foods. Each dish is crafted by South Asian volunteers, following recipes passed down through generations, ensuring an authentic and enriching dining experience.
Roshni Kitchen embraces the wisdom of Ayurveda, where diet is a cornerstone of health. The Ayurvedic diet is a meal plan based on the principles of Ayurvedic medicine, a form of traditional medicine dating back thousands of years.
Roshni Kitchen is a beacon of support for South Asian women facing barriers to employment. They provide training and work experience opportunities, helping women build skills and confidence. In response to the cost of living crisis, they provide 50 free meals weekly to women in need across Sheffield. All profits from Roshni Kitchen are reinvested into charitable activities at Roshni.
As well as being a restaurant, Roshni Kitchen provides training that helps individuals understand their own digestive health and how to eat according to their unique constitution.
Fouzia Ali, Ayurvedic practitioner and Co-manager at Roshni Kitchen comments: “I am so pleased to be opening this restaurant and adding to the Roshni Sheffield Asian Women’s Resource Centre. Opening Roshni Kitchen allows us to help even more women whilst also serving the local community delicious and healthy South Asian meals inspired by Ayurvedic principles.”
Roshni Kitchen is located on London Road in Sheffield, and is now welcoming visitors into the restaurant throughout the week.
