Our Story
From a Scarborough kitchen.
எங்கள் கதை
A small family kitchen, a few iron presses, and a longing for the flavours of home. That's how Tamil Arasu began.
தமிழ் அரசு
Tradition, measured by feel not by spoons.
Tamil Arasu was born from a simple longing: to bring the unmistakable taste of a Tamil home to the diaspora in Canada. What started as small batches of murukku for friends and family in Scarborough has grown into one of Ontario's most loved Tamil snack houses.
Every recipe is rooted in tradition handed down through generations, measured by feel, fried in small batches and packed by hand. No shortcuts, no preservatives. Just the same flavours your grandmother trusted.
Today, our products travel to grocers, temples and homes across the GTA and beyond. But the kitchen on Passmore Avenue is still the heart of everything we do.
