Our Story
Bringing 20 years of authentic Dubai expertise to Bangalore's dry fruit market.
Imtiyaz Shaikh
Founder, The Emirates Dry Fruit
Meet the Founder
My journey began in the bustling spice and dry fruit souks of Dubai over 20 years ago. There, I learned that true quality isn't just about appearance; it's about sourcing directly from the right farms, understanding the harvest seasons, and preserving the natural oils and flavors of every nut and date.
When I returned to India and settled in Bangalore, I noticed a gap. While dry fruits were everywhere, the uncompromising "Emirates-grade" quality I was accustomed to was surprisingly hard to find.
That's why I started The Emirates Dry Fruit. We bypass the heavy commercial processing and bring you the pure, authentic goodness that you would find in the best markets of the Middle East. Every almond, every date, and every strand of saffron in our store is something I would proudly serve to my own family.
