Kairali Herbs And Spices

Our shop, Kairali Herbs And Spices, is located at New No. 54, which used to be Old No. 147/1, right on Perambur Barracks Road in Vepery. If you know the area, it is a pretty busy road with a lot of movement all day long. The smell inside the shop is quite strong because of all the dried herbs and different spice bags we keep around. We spend a lot of time weighing out portions and packing things into small bags for the regulars who come in. Vepery has changed a lot over the years but this spot stays pretty much the same. We have shelves lined with jars, and sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly what someone is looking for. It is not a supermarket style place where everything is pre-sealed and shiny. Most of what we have comes in bulk and we handle it ourselves. The floor is old stone and the wooden counter has been here since we started. People from the neighborhood come in for their daily cooking needs or sometimes for specific herbs they cannot find elsewhere. We talk to the customers about the weather or the traffic on Perambur Barracks Road while we work the scales. It is a simple way to make a living and we have been doing it for a good while now. We do not have a website or anything like that, just the physical shop where we show up and open the shutters.
