About Food Tasting Experiences
Step Into My Flavorful World
I’m Mallika - I started Niwala at 56 just to see that sparkle when someone tastes my food. My tasting experiences are all about sharing real, soulful flavors with you, no pressure or pretence.
How You Can Try My Food
- At-home parties in Noida - super chill, lots of laughs, some spicy gossip, and custom photo frames for those must-have fun photos.
- Catch me at Delhi-NCR’s melas and bazaars - stop by, say hi, try everything at my stall. It’s always lively, and you can taste a bunch of stuff before you pick your favorite.
What’s On The Tasting Menu?
- All my food is homemade, no preservatives, small batch only. I stick to traditional recipes for that "maakihaathkakhana" (food made by a mother's hands) feeling.
- Sample more than 20 types of achaar (pickles) - from classic Aam ka Achaar to Bharwan Mirchi, Hing ka Achaar, and Lehsun Mirchi.
- Try my artisanal jams and chutneys too - like Pineapple Saffron jam or Amrud ki Chutni (Guava Chutney).
Real Food, Real Flavors
Simple, honest cooking is what I believe in. Jab aap taste karo (when you taste), I hope you feel the care and love I put in every batch. If you want a local food tasting event where you can actually connect and enjoy, this is it.

Niwala by Mallika
My Story
Namaste, I'm Mallika. You know, life kept me moving, but dreams toh rukte nahi (dreams never stop). At 56, I finally started Niwala - my own little food journey. My kitchen is where I go crazy with recipes - from Gulab Jamun cake for mom to raspberry lemon cupcakes for my granddaughter. Every dish has a bit of my family's story in it. I believe food is love, and sharing it is my way of spreading happiness.
My Work
Homemade Pickles, Jams & Bakes - I make sun-cooked mango pickle, Carrot Marmalade, jams, street-style guava chutney, and preservative-free walnut chocolate fudge.
All Homemade, No Nasties - Everything's made by me, with patience. No preservatives, just that maa ka swaad (mother's taste) in every bite.
Traditional & Experimental Flavours - Old-school pickles and new experiments - like Amrud ki Chutney with street-style vibes, all hygienic.
Gift Hampers for Every Occasion - I curate homemade gift hampers with pickles, mathri, and treats - perfect for festivals or just because.
