ABOUT US
The right way to savour a perfect South Indian meal is to balance it with the right amount of “crunchy” condiments. We, at Ambika Appalam, have understood this with our experience of serving a million taste buds over the years with our authentic recipes handed down from a doting mother’s kitchen. Staying true to our love for the Indian tradition, we blend authentic flavours with a homely touch that reminds people of flavourful hearty meals cooked by their mother. With this we have succeeded at capturing many hearts from across India and the rest of the world.
HISTORY
Every great business starts with a simple idea. Our business dates back to the pre-Independence era of 1920 in the quaint streets of Triplicane, where they resided. He noticed that while people enjoyed a nice South Indian meal accompanied with curries, cooked veggies, ghee, thokku, pickle etc they wanted something crunchy to complete the meal, this sparked the idea of selling papadams and appalams to the people of the locality. What started as a simple local business by the father was transformed into a large scale established business by his son and founder Mr.K.A.Velayudhan under the brand name Ambika Appalams in 1976. With multiple outlets across the city, decades of consistent customer satisfaction and good will, the brand strives to place themselves as the perfect concoction of regional tastes with food innovation.
