Patak's Indian Food Products

Patak's is one of the most prominent and recognized brands of Indian curry pastes, cooking sauces, pickles, and chutneys in the United Kingdom and internationally. The brand trace its origins back to 1957, when L.G. Pathak and his family arrived in London from Kenya (originally from Gujarat, India). Starting from a small home kitchen selling samosas and traditional sweets, the family quickly opened their first grocery shop behind Euston Station, London. To make the name easier for British consumers to pronounce, the 'h' was eventually dropped, creating the brand name Patak's.

Over the decades, Patak's grew to define Indian-style home cooking in the UK, transitioning from local community groceries to major nationwide supermarket distribution. In 2007, the Pathak family sold the business to Associated British Foods (ABF), one of the world's largest multinational food processing and retailing conglomerates, headquartered in London.

Today, Patak's products sold throughout the UK and exported worldwide are primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom, notably at their state-of-the-art production facility in Leigh, Greater Manchester. While certain specialty raw materials like spices are imported from India and elsewhere, core processing, blending, and bottling occur within the UK under AB World Foods, a specialist international cuisine subsidiary of Associated British Foods.
