Our History

E. Akhalwaya & Sons is a proudly family-run business with over 30 years of experience in the South African spice and grocery market. As one of the oldest spice importers in the country, we are trusted by retailers, wholesalers, and walk-in customers alike for our authentic, high-quality Indian groceries and spice blends.

We import directly from India, Dubai, Vietnam, and Myanmar to bring you the finest products — from whole spices and lentils to specialty ingredients and traditional staples. In addition to importing, we also manufacture a wide variety of in-house spice mixes, crafted to deliver rich, authentic flavour for every kitchen.

Our journey began in 1926 with Ismail Akhalwaya, a pioneer and entrepreneur who laid the foundation for a legacy of excellence. Today, E. Akhalwaya & Sons is proudly run by the fourth generation, continuing to serve the community with the same values of trust, quality, and dedication.
