The Shangri-La Story
Our Legacy
For over 40 years, Shangri-La has been part of our family’s heartbeat, a restaurant beloved in Pune’s Deccan region, started by (our father/name). The recipes, stories, and traditions of our mother in our kitchen became the soul of Shangri-La, passed down through generations. When the world slowed during the pandemic, we felt a calling: to take the flavors of our family’s table beyond the walls of the restaurant. That’s how Shangri-La Foods was born.
We are a family brand that pours love into everything we do. Our products are deeply personal to us. Each item carries the care and legacy of our farm and our home.
Shangri-La Foods is about welcoming you into our family’s story with our products. Every grain of rice, every jar of spices, every gravy, and every basket of fresh produce comes with generations of love, hard work, and dedication. It’s our privilege to bring these from our farm to your table, so you can taste the legacy we’re proud of.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple: we believe in giving families the gift of time without compromising on taste or quality. As homemakers and working women ourselves, we know the daily challenge of balancing life and cooking healthy, delicious meals. That’s why we created gravies that do the hard work for you, letting you focus on adding your personal touch to each dish.
We believe in honoring the ingredients, respecting the process, and nurturing the land that gives us so much. Our commitment to authenticity starts at the roots, quite literally. We prioritize sustainable farming, ensuring that our soil remains rich, our crops are healthy, and our produce is vibrant.
Our Products
Every Shangri-La foods product has a story, one rooted in our family’s legacy. Take our Indrani rice, for example. Grown in the same rich soil our ancestors cultivated, this rice has been a staple at our family table for generations. Our Alphonso mangoes come from trees lovingly planted by our grandfather, producing fruit that has nourished three generations.
Our spice blends are memories of family meals, carefully perfected over the years, and now crafted for your kitchen. From our flavorful gravies to the freshest vegetables, each product is a reflection of our heritage, grown and made with the care and passion we’ve passed down for decades.
Our Farms and Soil
Our farms, nestled in the lush Pattan region near the Sahyadri Ghats, are the heart of our legacy. For generations, our family has worked this land alongside local farmers, ensuring it remains fertile and full of life. The soil here is rich, fed by natural rainwater, and nurtured by traditional farming techniques passed down over the years.
The people behind our farms are like family. Many have been with us for decades, and their dedication shows that every harvest is a labor of love. Together, we believe in sustainable farming, preserving the environment while honoring our roots.
Our approach is simple: respect the land and let nature lead. The soil here is naturally enriched, fed by the rains of the Sahyadri range. Instead of using aggressive farming techniques, we focus on keeping the soil healthy and nutrient-rich through sustainable practices. By avoiding chemicals and synthetic fertilizers, we ensure that what grows here is as pure as it gets. It’s not just about farming; it’s about maintaining balance with the environment for healthy produce that you can trust.
