About Us

Home of Indian Grocery Excellence

Lotus Mart proudly holds the distinction of being the first Indian grocery store in the Illawarra region, opening its doors in 2010. Founded by a visionary Indian-Australian family, the store emerged from a simple yet powerful idea: to provide the growing South Asian community in the Illawarra with easy access to the authentic foods and ingredients they missed from home.
At a time when Indian groceries were limited and difficult to source locally, Lotus Mart filled a vital gap—offering a dedicated space where tradition met convenience. Starting with a humble storefront in Wollongong, the business quickly became a cornerstone for not only Indian families but also Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Fijian-Indian, and local Australian customers with a love for rich and diverse cuisine.

Mission

To connect communities through authentic Indian and South Asian groceries, offering quality, variety, and warmth in every shopping experience.

Vision
