Our Story

Some nights, you'd give anything for just one plate of your mum's cooking.

Not Uber Eats. Not a sad bowl of pasta. Not another disappointing "ethnic restaurant" that tastes nothing like home. Just real food, made the way you grew up eating it.

I know that feeling because I've lived it.

I'm Kinjal. I'm an international student from India, living alone in France - exhausted after long days, craving dishes that take hours to make with ingredients I can't even find in this city. My dad called me every week telling me to just find a cook. But how do you find a trusted home cook in a foreign country when you barely know anyone?

That question became Plato.

Because somewhere in your city, there is someone's mum, someone's grandmother, someone's neighbour - already cooking the food you're missing. They just don't know you exist yet.

Plato connects you.
