Welcome to Food with Varinder

La Hulpe

If you have never eaten at my restaurant – I call it my home from home where I cook for you like I cook for my family.

Leuven

Did you know our building is the oldest in Leuven? With a stunning private function room at the back.

My name is Varinder

 

I’m a mother of 3 and a life-long vegetarian running my restaurant out of La Hulpe in Belgium. My cooking is influenced by the culinary depths of my own British Indian heritage, the cuisine of my husband’s Anglo-Persian heritage, and by the rich array of foods I’ve enjoyed through my love of travel.

Cook-along

These 3-hour sessions now moved to Mondays, have been an unexpected success. Not that I thought they wouldn’t work. I just didn’t think the would get booked up so quickly.

Great food, rich in taste and containing unique combinations. If you’re blessed with the soapy gene of Koriander it’s best to tell them upfront as they use it a lot. The staff is swift and friendly. We had a great night.

Amazing place that we stumbled upon through pure luck. The place has a lovely cosy interior that immediately makes you feel at home. The food was really delicious and we can’t praise the service enough. We would highly recommend this to anyone able to make the visit.

She is Indian he is Iranian British citizens so you have a very tasty fusion homemade Middle East to Indian food. One menu per night vegetarian but if you let them know in advance they adapt to vegan. 3 weeks booking in advance needed ! The couple is very friendly the service family style 💝 you feel at home and eating delicious homemade food 🥰
