Who we are

One company, three ways to put Indian food on a professional menu.

Restaurants, manufacturers and importers buy differently, so ODOD runs a dedicated team and supply chain for each — all under one quality system.

AVENOR — for restaurants

53 chef-grade gravies, marinades, biryani pastes and finishing sauces in foodservice packs. Heat, portion, plate: any line cook delivers a consistent Butter Chicken, Korma or Saag — no specialist chef required. Sterilised with advanced Japanese technology for an 18-month ambient shelf life.

Ingredients — for manufacturers

Aseptic tomato paste, banana powders, tamarind, turmeric, crispy fried onions, coconut milk powder, the moringa range and more — eighteen lines with full specifications, market-by-market compliance notes and a COA on every lot. Private label and custom retail packing available.

Distribution — for importers

Alphonso mangoes, staples, masalas, sweets and snacks for grocery chains, importers and brand owners — FCL and LCL, consolidated from vetted producers, with the import documentation each market expects.

Distribution →

Tasted, tested and approved by 16 chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants.

Before AVENOR, our foodservice range, went to market we put it in front of the hardest audience we could find: chefs running Michelin-starred kitchens. Sixteen of them tasted the range, judged it against their own base preparations — and loved it. That is the standard every batch is still measured against.

Chef approvals are individual tasting verdicts; AVENOR and ODOD Group are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Michelin Guide.

Our mission

Make authentic Indian food easy to buy at professional scale — the same taste and the same specification, batch after batch, with the documents a buyer's quality team needs already in the file.

Our vision

To be the supplier that Western foodservice groups, manufacturers and retailers name first when they add Indian flavours — trusted for consistency, compliance and straight answers.

Our promise

No surprises. The sample you approve is the lot you receive; the specification on the page is the specification on the COA; the shipping date we give is the one we keep.

Our story

Built for buyers who have been burned by inconsistency.

ODOD began in 2021 with a simple observation: professional kitchens and manufacturers in the US and Europe want Indian flavours, but supply is fragmented, specifications drift from lot to lot and documentation arrives late — if at all. We set out to fix the buying experience, not just the product.

So we built the company around the things a quality manager checks: certified facilities, a Certificate of Analysis on every lot, market-specific compliance notes, retained samples and a single accountable contact. The flavour authenticity comes from chef-led development and direct sourcing — a network of more than 150 partner farmers and vetted producers who grow and make to our specifications; the reliability comes from the system around them.

How we assure quality

Five checkpoints between a specification and your receiving dock.

Specification

Every product is sold against a written spec — physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory limits, plus pack and shelf-life data.

Producer audit

Only facilities holding FDA registration, GMP, HACCP and ISO 22000 make our products; Halal, Kosher and organic programmes where required.

Lot testing & COA

Each lot is tested and released with a Certificate of Analysis; pre-shipment samples go out before the container does.

Packing & traceability

Food-grade, export-spec packaging; lot codes and retained counter-samples link every pallet back to its test file.

Documents & shipping

FCL or LCL with the complete document set for the destination market, so customs and your QA team clear it first time.

Certified facilities

Produced where the certificates are already on the wall.

Our products are processed and packed in facilities that hold the certifications Western buyers audit against. Copies are available to qualified buyers; the lot COA travels with every shipment.

What we stand for

Three rules we don't bend.

Quality is not negotiable.

Every batch ships with a full COA. If a lot misses the specification, it does not ship — whatever the delivery date.

Scale without drift.

Five cases for one restaurant or five containers for a national rollout: same producers, same spec, same documents.

Authenticity, preserved.

Direct from 150+ partner farmers, developed by chefs, processed with modern technology — the taste stays honest while the system keeps it consistent.

Let's build something together.

Whether you're a restaurant adding Indian dishes to the menu, a manufacturer sourcing ingredients, or an importer building a range — tell us what you need and we'll route you to the right team within 24 hours.
