Cafe Spice is officially at Whole Foods Market locations across the country. 

From classic Chicken Tikka Masala to vegan Channa Masala to Butter Chicken Meatballs, these ready-to-eat meals make it easy to enjoy bold, authentic flavors, no passport required.

“We are excited to be expanding our 20 year partnership with Whole Foods as this national rollout marks a significant step in bringing authentic global flavors to even more homes across the country,” said Sameer Malhotra, CEO & co-founder, Cafe Spice.

The company late last year began manufacturing from a 70,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Beacon, New York, near their original, 50,000-square-foot site in New Windsor. The Beacon site, which now accounts for nearly 90% of the company’s output, is in its first phase of operation, with additional production lines coming in 2025.

They have been named R&FF's 2024 Processor of the Year. They will be honored at the 2025 Food Automation & Manufacturing Symposium and Expo.

About Cafe Spice
Pioneering restaurateur Sushil Malhotra and his son Sameer Malhotra had a vision in 2003: Let the bold flavors and tempting aromas of global cuisine power authentic, ready-to-heat-and-eat food for the soul. This commitment to fresh, clean and delicious meals is the essence of Cafe Spice, whose story spans decades from the Malhotras' native India to New York City. Cafe Spice's heat-and-eat delicacies set the standard by blending homage to rich culinary history with new, modern tastes featuring the highest-quality natural and fine-dining ingredients. Every bite is satisfying and exotic, and Cafe Spice features gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. Meals are easily accessible across the United States, because no matter where you are, there's always room for a little adventure.
