What Our Customers Say


“The Special Varkey tastes exactly like the one my grandmother used to bring back from Ooty - light, flaky, and not overly sweet. It disappeared before the tea got cold.”
Priya Raghavan

Coimbatore · Special Varkey

“I ordered the Salt Biscuits and Mini Varkey for a family gathering, and everyone asked where they were from. Fresh, crisp, and packed carefully - not a single broken piece.”
Arjun Menon

Bengaluru · Salt Biscuit & Mini Varkey

“We have been buying their varkey for our morning tea for months now. The quality is consistent every time, and you can taste the butter. It is the closest thing to home baking I have found online.”
Meera Krishnan

Frequently Asked Questions


Where are Nilgiribytes products baked?

Every Nilgiribytes product is baked in Kotagiri, in the heart of the Nilgiris, using traditional methods and recipes we have followed since 1980.

Most of our varkey and biscuits have a shelf life of up to 90 days. Please check the freshness date printed on the pack and store items in an airtight container.

Do you deliver across India?

Yes. We deliver pan-India to more than 28,000 pin codes through trusted logistics partners.
