Real food. Bold flavours. Locally yours!

Thiru’s Gourmet was founded with a simple dream - to bring the inspiring tastes of India to Canadian homes. Restauranteur and founder Chef Thiru is passionate about supporting local community initiatives that spread awareness of the flavourful world of spices from India. 

His unique creative recipe earned The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada’s ‘Most Heart Healthy Soup Award’ (2004) for the famous Mullugtwanny Soup. The popularity and demand of the local community inspired Chef Thiru to work with experts to bottle the delicious and nutritious recipe in a ready-to-eat format!

Over the years, Thiru’s Gourmet has added to our selection of offerings while staying true to our core values – caring for your health, mind, and soul with delicious flavours! Watch for Thiru’s Gourmet at a community events near you!
