What started as missing home-cooked food became a mission to connect communities through every meal.
Beirut is home to thousands of talented home cooks whose culinary expertise rarely extends beyond their immediate neighbors. Meanwhile, an entire generation of students, professionals, and expats struggle to find authentic, affordable home-cooked meals.
The market is saturated with overpriced restaurants and generic delivery apps that prioritize speed over quality. Home cooks — many of them women with decades of experience — have no viable path to monetize their skills.
Teta is a hyperlocal marketplace that connects home cooks directly with their communities. Zero commissions. Zero middlemen. Just neighbors feeding neighbors.

Building Teta from Beirut
“I missed my mother's cooking. So I built a way for everyone to share theirs.”
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this strengthen the bond between cook and neighbor?
We don't take a cut from home cooks. Their craft, their earnings.
Through our Sahteen initiative, we ensure no one in the community goes hungry.
