Patak's Original Warming Tarka Dhal meal

Patak's is a world-renowned brand specializing in Indian-style food products, including curry pastes, sauces, and ready meals. The brand was established in 1958 by Laxmishanker Pathak and his family in London, United Kingdom, after they emigrated from Kenya. It began as a small business selling home-cooked Indian snacks and grew into a major international food label.

While the brand is rooted in Indian culinary traditions, the majority of its manufacturing for the European and UK markets takes place in Leigh, Greater Manchester, UK. In 2007, the family-owned business was acquired by Associated British Foods (ABF). Today, Patak's operates as part of ABF's grocery division, maintaining its status as a leading provider of Indian cuisine flavors across the globe under British corporate ownership.
