Sahuwala Flour Mills

You can find us over in Tondiarpet on Namiahmestry Street. We are right opposite the street where the Tamilnadu Theatre is. It’s a very old part of the city and the streets are quite narrow. You can usually hear the machines running before you see the shop. We’ve been grinding grain and flour here for quite some time. The air always has a bit of a floury smell to it, and everything gets a fine white coating by the end of the day. It’s hard work, lifting heavy bags and making sure the machines are set right. We get people bringing in their own grain or just buying what we’ve already processed. The theater nearby used to be a big landmark, so that's how most people find us. It gets really hot inside, especially during the middle of the day. We don’t have any fancy branding or modern interiors. It’s just a mill with some old-fashioned equipment that still works perfectly fine. We keep the floors swept as best as we can, but it’s a losing battle with the flour. It’s a noisy, busy place but it’s what we know. Most of our customers have been coming to us for years, and we know exactly how they like their flour ground. We don't use any chemicals, just pure grain through the stones. That’s the way we run things here at Sahuwala Flour Mills. It's honest work and keeps us going through the week.
