At Kathiyawadi Kitchen, we take immense pride in preparing and delivering authentic, high-quality Kathiyawadi products. Due to the perishable and consumable nature of our products, our return policy is different from that of a standard retailer.
1. Policy Overview
We do not accept returns or exchanges for items that have been correctly fulfilled. However, your satisfaction is our priority. If there is an issue with your order related to quality, damage, or incorrect fulfillment, we are happy to offer a refund or replacement under the conditions detailed below.
2. Eligibility for Refund or Replacement
You are eligible for a refund or replacement only if one of the following conditions is met:
A. Damaged or Spoiled Upon Arrival
If your product arrives damaged (e.g., broken packaging, leakage) or spoiled (e.g., clearly moldy, unsealed), you must report the issue immediately.
B. Incorrect Item Received
If you receive a product that is different from what you ordered (e.g., wrong flavor, wrong quantity).
C. Major Deviation from Description
If the product delivered significantly deviates from the description or specification provided on our website.
3. Non-Returnable Items (All Sales Final)
Due to the nature of our products, all items purchased from Kathiyawadi Kitchen are considered final sale and cannot be returned for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Change of mind or ordering the wrong item.

- Damage caused by improper storage after successful pickup.
