Has spices and great basmati rice. Naan was ok, have had better. Service was good but it was difficult to understand the gentleman who helped us with questions. Have been here a few times before, good Indian supply store.

Went to the store to get a box of mangos, one of the mango was rotten in that box, so I switched the mango from another box, the person on the counter said.. I should not do it.. he said since they are also paying their supplier for these rotten mangos, I should also purchase the same from their store.. technically he wants me to pay for the rotten mangoes.. I was like, what is this logic.. lol..Overall, hard to get fresh vegetables except for Friday, in the last 6-7 months, I have found discrepancies in my overall bill, and the staff corrected the bill.

Excellent place to buy Indian groceries. They get fresh vegetables every Thursday. Quality of groceries is probably the best in Capital district.

I would not recommend it. Fresh produce had a fungus grown on it and it was on shelf for sale. Shocking. Staff was load the top shelf of freezer by putting his feet at the bottom shelf of the freezer. After seeing this I just left my cart and ran out.

Has a lot of whole spices for great prices. Has a huge rice selection of basmati of course and Jasmin too. Has fresh vegetables and tons of dry goods to choose from. Even a frozen section as well.The man asked right away after ringing out a customer if I needed help and even showed me where something was. He was nice checking out too. Friendly little shop. Will update my review later when I visit again. They have tons of spices and ingredients. Perfect place to start and buy from when you are serious about making good indian food as authentic as you can from home. Especially with the pandemic. Will definitely shop again with how organized the shop was. I have always bought my basmati in popular large markets and I will never again. Iv never had rice taste so good at home. Taste like its straight from the indian restaurants. Whole spices make a huge difference compared to ground which you can find anywhere. The prices you cant beat I think compared to other indian shops in the area.

We get all the Indian groceries from India Bazar. Sometimes just need to check the expiry of the items which is the story of every Indian store in Albany.

Review №30

Visited the place while I went to RPI nearby. They have remarkable variety of brands for most stock items. I had not even heard of a few brands before. So full marks to the owner on variety front. Perhaps the organic varieties could be enhanced if it makes financial sense.

A full service grocery store that is always well stocked, inviting, clean & staffed with kind & helpful staff. They have the best variety of indian frozen & convenience foods in the region. They also carry newspapers & entertainment items. Theyre a hub of local events in the Indian community.

Review №38

The owners and the people working there totally discriminate if you are from any other than India or south India.I have been here few times when it was like festival days like Diwali or Christmas.On every occasion they treat people with free sweets or cakes if you are from India but not from any where else.I was in the line to pay and on every occasion there were people checking out ahead of me who were probably from owners race and heritage,they all were served free treats gracefully but me.Never going there again.Terrible place to make you feel different.

Review №42

Least friendly staff. Overpriced items. We went for the first time. Instead of orrering help to find items the manager was just walking behind us, which was Embarrassing. The cashier packed all items in a small bag, even after asking for a second bag. Will never recommend this place or go again.

2 stars for the price level on this attached photo of 10lbs rice. Been into the world of rice in most of the states, and found this place has the ridiculous price for rices. To be specific its $4 more expensive. ..

Review №53

I think its the Only Indian grocery store in Schenectady and Albany area, they keep almost all required things.. but their bill receipts does not specify item details and it only says grocery for every single item you buy and that makes it difficult to track and in case required anything to be returned

Review №55

Ive only been here once, but the cashier was extremely helpful and offered to help me find stuff the moment I walked in the door. He walked me to the aisles for everything I needed but also didnt linger by me every second, which I appreciated. They had everything I needed to make a dhal curry dish I had found a recipe for online, and the prices are pretty decent too.

Pretty good selection of items, and reasonable prices. Excellent selection of pickles and frozen items. Their pre-made dosa mix is excellent, too...!Update 06/02/2019:This continues to be my go-to store for Indian groceries. Whether its vegetables, snacks, spices, rice, coffee, pickles, ghee, fish, utensils - you name it, they have it! Sure, its not one of those giant stores in Edison, but for me, its the next best thing. Youll probably find one or two things missing, but for a South Indian like me, this place is awesome! 😊👍One suggestion: prices are often not clearly marked, which is frustrating.
