About Khaali

What Khaali is

You open Khaali, browse tonight's kitchens, fill a cart, pay a small price and follow a rider across the map. The rider is bringing an empty bag. When it arrives, you get a receipt showing what the real order would have cost and the calories, fat, salt and sugar you skipped.

Khaali never sells or delivers food. The restaurants, dishes and riders are made up and aren't linked to any real restaurant or delivery app. This is said clearly before you pay.

Why it exists

A lot of late-night orders are cravings rather than hunger, and cravings often fade within 15 to 20 minutes. The part of ordering that feels good is the ordering itself: choosing, checking out and waiting for the rider. Khaali keeps that part and leaves out the food, so the craving gets its moment and your body gets a break.

It isn't a diet or medical service. If you're actually hungry, please eat a proper meal.

Who runs it

Khaali is run by Akhil N, a sole proprietor based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It's a small, independent project, so the person who built Khaali is also the one who reads your emails.

How Khaali makes money

Only from the small price you pay per order: dishes from ₹9, the daily meals at ₹12 and ₹29, and one Richie Rich dish at ₹39. There are no ads, and we don't sell or share your data with advertisers.

That money pays for hosting, payments and email. Once those costs are covered, we plan to give part of what's left to charity, and everyone who orders gets a month-end email showing how much was donated and their share in it.
