Cook (and learn!) authentic dishes from regional South Indian cuisine
Idlis, dosas, and biriyani! Whether you’re a new or regular enjoyer of South Indian cuisine, there’s something delectable to discover Venba's cooking puzzles. As you piece together a tattered recipe book, cook authentic dishes inspired by real-life cuisines. Once you've cooked them in-game, try cooking them in real life with the brand-new in-game Cookbook!
Discover a heartfelt story of family, love, and loss
As you restore lost recipes, discover the story of a family over the years as they grow and change through a journey of love and loss. Join a mother, father, and their son as they reckon with culture, self-discovery, and acceptance.
Jam to catchy tunes inspired by Tamil music
Move over lo-fi beats! Cook along to Venba's unique original soundtrack, inspired by Tamil music throughout the ages. And when you can't get enough, return to the newly-added in-game radio to listen to the OST on-demand!
Feast your eyes on delicious visuals
Venba's warm, stylized art brings the game's food and story to life! So good you can almost taste it.

DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
simple gameplay bolstered by the concise and feeling narrative
something specific to appreciate the attention to detail: when the son does the cooking, he's a bit more chaotic and unsure (pouring the oil twice).
I'm Cambodian American, but I found it very sad yet relatable. It also makes me want to eat Indian food and I can see myself following the recipes myself one day! Beautiful game!!
A beautifully written tale of a unique experience in life. Love the style. Love the traditional recipes plus they give you the literal recipes to make. Made me ugly cry. Just 10/10.
