Let customers speak for us
Absolutely beautiful iv used it on chicken and lamb chops I'd be more than happy to buy again
Lovely taste, I will be buying again Leena was so fab to deal with even though I stuffed up my order she managed to put it right very quickly and kindly 5 stars all the way. I sprinkled it over keto rice as I made avocado and fresh salmon sushi rolls it just made it that much nicer. I will be making backed sushi over the weekend and intend to use it over that as well...thanks Leena im a very happy customer x
I dissolve half a tsp in hot water and add it to my breakfast (coffee flavoured) smoothie. It is next level delicious and I will definitely be a repeat customer
The economics of buying in bulk as well as this product is excellent quality.

Beautiful flavour I have ever experience very happy customer thanks Leena
We've been buying Leena's Indian Tea Leaves for a while now. The perfect tea to drink in the morning. Highly recommended
What I like is all the flavour with no additives or preservatives. Spices as they should be. Thanks guys.
Well packaged. Great flavour and easy to use.
We get Hello Fresh food every second week (it's very good!) and had noticed that the "secret" ingredients were often the spices that gave the food such lovely flavours..... but we didn't know what was in those spices.
Then along comes Leena with her list of spices and recipes! Now we can buy a variety of Leena's spices and make our own beautifully flavoured meals. Thank you, Leena!
Your spices are great , good value, and we will soon be ordering more!
Great spices, easy to order and prompt, excellent service.
