Shastha Online

Shastha Foods saw its humble beginnings in 2003 when we had the idea to make and distribute Dosa and Idly batters to various Indian grocery stores in the Bay Area. What started out as a small facility with a few small grinders and personal delivery of batter to the stores has now evolved to a bigger place with numerous big grinders, staff to help a... nd a wider reach. Starting out with a career in accounting and moving on to exporting electronics, we used to deal with major companies of the time. As the years rolled by, we decided to take a detour and start a new business. Been gourmands helped us get started with importing good quality South Indian coffee, which was not available in Indian stores in the Bay Area. From there, we slowly embarked into the batter business, which has now made Shastha Foods a household favorite among Indian and non-Indian patrons. Now, after nine years, Shastha Foods is one of the leading importers and distributors of Indian food products on the west coast. The business began with a few 1.5 liters grinders and personal distribution of the batter to a few Indian stores in the San Jose area. Realizing the huge demand for freshly ground batters, Shastha foods gradually expanded its distribution to other parts of Northern California including Fremont, East Bay, and Sacramento. Within a few years, we started distributing their products to Seattle, Oregon, Salt Lake City, North Carolina and most recently Las Vegas. Most importantly, we and our brand, Shastha Foods, have partnered with the South Asian Heart Center in an effort to bring out a healthy range of products. Apart from making fresh batters, Shastha Foods also imports 350 brand name items which include South Indian puja items, coffee, appalams (papads), wheat flour (multi-grain, diabetic etc), dry pan and rice under the Shastha name.Read More
