Women at Luqma create authentic dishes with authentic flavours, offering a flavour of the traditional cuisine that has long satisfied royal palates and inspired the culinary world. The food is prepared fresh, using quality ingredients and maintaining utmost hygiene.
Luqma is not just about food, it’s about the empowerment and livelihood of women. It is a fully equipped food processing facility where food is prepared. The women are also provided training in Culinary Skills and training in packaging, hygiene, and business development to give them an edge in the highly competitive food business sector.
