Our Story

In 1979, our parents opened a small shop in Los Angeles — the first Indian grocery of its kind there. They stocked it the only way they knew: buy the best, grind it fresh, and treat every customer like a neighbor.

Three generations later, that shop became Rani Brand, and the way we work hasn’t changed — only the scale. Today we import directly from growers we trust, mill and blend our spices in small batches, and pack every jar, pouch and pail ourselves at our facility in Houston, Texas. Nothing we sell is an afterthought from someone else’s warehouse: if it says Rani on the label, it passed through our hands.

That’s also why you’ll find things here that supermarkets don’t carry — single-origin whole spices, salt-free masalas blended from family recipes, USDA Organic lines, and the lentils, rices, flours, teas and treats that make up a real Indian pantry. Home cooks order a 3 oz jar; Houston’s restaurants order the 25 lb case. Same spices, same batch, same family.

Orders placed by 2 pm CST ship the same day. And if you ever want to talk to a person, call (281) 219-6400 — one of us will pick up.

Fresh. Pure. Flavorful. — since 1979.
