Our Story

About Ambika Appalam Depot

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 tables.

History

From Triplicane, since the 1920s

Every great business starts with a simple idea. Our business dates back to the pre-Independence era of the 1920s, in the quaint streets of Triplicane. What began as a small family endeavour grew, over five decades, into a name trusted across South Indian kitchens for appalams, vathals, vadaam, podis and snacks made the traditional way.

International Business

Beyond our borders

We aspire to spread the authentic taste of India beyond our borders. If you are looking to experience the best of Indian goodies, we are just a mail away.

Retail Outlets

Growing together

Our retail outlets started in 2007 under the Ambika Retail Pvt. Ltd wing; a few years later in 2012, retailing of podis started by Ambika India. We believe that the only way to grow is together.
