For those who grew up between two worlds.
Coconuts is the dating app for the South Asian diaspora. No swiping, no endless stacks of faces: just like the answer that made you laugh, and tell them why.
How it works
No swiping. Just the details
that make you, you.
Apply to join
Build a profile in five short steps. Every application is reviewed by a real person, so everyone you meet is real, 18+, and here on purpose.
Like something specific
Scroll one person at a time. Like the photo or the prompt answer that got you, and add a comment so they know it wasn't a reflex.
Match, then actually talk
When it's mutual, the chat opens with whatever started it. The rest is up to you. (Now don't ghost.)
The culture is in the details
Prompts your cousins
would understand.
The question every aunty asks me at weddings
“Beta, when is your turn?” Every. Single. Time.
How I explain my job to my nani
“Computer work.” She tells everyone I fix laptops.
I code-switch hardest when
My mum calls while I'm in a meeting.
A tradition I'm keeping. A tradition I'm retiring.
Keeping: Sunday chai. Retiring: pretending I don't like it spicy.
The family WhatsApp group would describe me as
The one who replies to every “good morning” flower with a voice note.
We'll get along if you also grew up
Explaining Diwali to your whole class every October.
Built for the in‑between.
Made by one of us
Built by second-gen desis who've been asked “but where are you really from?” more times than we can count.
A room, not a crowd
We review every application, so the people you scroll past feel chosen, not shuffled.
Safe by design
Report or block anyone in two taps. Every report is reviewed within 24 hours. Zero tolerance for abuse.
Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali, and every story in between. Wherever you grew up.
