Asian Snacks Ltd

The story of two brothers Arun & Bhupendra Patel started in 1990’s, they both had dreams to own their own food line from a young age. Being two individuals who love food and used to explore the world for a taste of different flavours. They thought of a product which they could make and loved to eat, POPCORN. They started off small, making popcorn for local schools and businesses in the heart of east London. They prided themselves in making the best quality popcorn, fresh and tasty, giving customers the best value for their money. The company grew very quickly via word of mouth, but their dreams continued growing to what they always wanted to create, an Asian Snack Food Company ‘Krishna’ Savouries.

From an Indian family, they grew with all flavours and beautiful smelling food, with parents who loved Indian Snacks and would have them around daily. Seeing all the demand for authentic tasting indian savoury snacks which were of great quality, Arun and Bhupendra travelled to India to learn how to make all sorts of savoury snacks with the authentic taste and crunch. They worked tirelessly day and night, never giving up on their dream. With countless sleepless nights the new savoury range took off and soon the business expanded further. Both Arun and Bhupendra’s wives Rasmika and Parul had to come in full time as well to further strengthen the team to cope with the demands, with two young kids each this wasn’t so easy. Arun and Bhupendra parents were proud to see their kids growing and taking in the culture they had been raised with.

In 2000, Krishna Savouries moved from their factory in Stratford, east London, to a much larger plant in Dagenham, Essex. Where here Krishna savouries makes over 50 high quality products, some gluten free, Halal and kosher which are enjoyed by millions all over the UK & Europe with demand throughout the world increasing.

The Family team got even larger in 2013 when Arun’s son Bhavin joined the family business working alongside the team of 20 employees. Bhavin grew up with his father in the world of food and flavours, he watched his father work hard from a young age. All the nights he was at school and his father was still at work, this brought a lot of ambition and pride to Bhavin, to help his family business. Bhavin learnt the tricks of the trade from his father and Uncle for a few years, know he works independently within the company. Bhavin realised to achieve dreams hard work and dedication is needed to successfully have a business like Krishna Savouries, which is what Arun, Bhupendra and Bhavin give to the business.

By sticking to their dream, Krishna savouries has grown from strength to strength and built a reputation of quality products throughout its range and excellent service.
