Amma Spices and Foods,

from 2013-06 Melbourne

Ask auntyji

Last year in the middle of May, two friends who were studying together, Umapathi and Jagadeesan, decided to start their own business. And not just any business. They decided to open an Indian grocery, not only because of the growing Indian community in Cranbourne and its surroundings, but also because of the growing interest from other locals wanting to try their hand at Indian recipes.

And so Amma Spices and Foods was created. It stocks all types of Indian groceries, and is located in Melbourne’s central business district. The store’s specialties are Indian spices, groceries and money transfer services (including MoneyGram Xpress and PFG Money). So if you’re in need of some lentils, atta, basmati rice, pooja products, flour, or even Bollywood DVDs, Amma is the place to go. But it’s not just Indian foods that Amma stocks, as they also stock Pakistani, Afghani, SriLankan, Fijian and islander groceries.

And what makes Amma different to other stores? Their confidence over the quality of product, their stock rotation, cleanliness, quality product display, and of course, their customer service.

Amma prides itself on its friendly and helpful service, and aims to have every customer leave the store with a smile on their face. To celebrate the store’s 1 year anniversary, they’re having a special sale from 21 June to 30 June to say a big thank you to all of their loyal customers

(as well as some new ones). If you’re in need of help with finding the ingredients to a particular recipe, Umapathi and Jagadeesan are only too happy to help. In fact they have about four to five customers a week already getting help with recipes. They also get special orders for poojas, like homam sticks, mango leaves, and fresh flowers.

Umapathi and Jagadeesan look forward to you visiting their store soon.
