The biggest international grocery store in columbus! The place to go if you want fresh seafood, they also give you the option to pick how you want the fish cut-You can pick from one of seven types(see the pictures below).

Went here for some Jamacian🥭 food, well didnt see what I really want. The store is ok, the check out long. I think it is pricey for aloe vera, when I can get it at Walmart cheaper.

My experience in this market was great. I really enjoyed seeing all the different foods, spices, drinks they offered. All the different cultures are found here from Latin, Caribbean, Asian, Indian, Africa, Middle East and Europe products. I was able to buy a little from every area. Fresh produce, meats, fish and dairy. Being Latino and my wife Filipina we both had items we liked. Definitely will come back and highly recommended to shop here.

Fresh veggies year round, especially if you are looking for something that is not commonly used, like cassava. They are very well stocked on international groceries. This is our go-to store for vegetarian Thai curry mixes and noodles. We have also tried several new veggies since shopping here.

Prices are a little high but some of the fruits and vegetables are not at your local grocery store. You can get FRESH fish and other stuff. Its good if your trying new dishes or great place if you want something from your homeland. They have a little restaurant inside and I think a hair salon and a eyebrow place. Lots of seasonings and large containers of seasonings especially for a big family or small eaterie.Strong fish smell in the back but all in all its good.

The best grocery for all the things. I hope they stay busy and keep their product offerings up. Lots of great food to eat, a huge kitchen section and covers a wide variety of ethnicities from snacks to sauces and even produce. Halal, Asian you name it. Be respectful, patient and ask a lot of questions, if you eat Doritos and Mt. Dew just try something else off the shelf that might even taste better!

Love this store and hope they are always here, BUT they would easily double their sales if:They were to have a posted price for all items (half the items Im interested in buying have no price, so I dont buy) andthey would also have more than one check-out register open when there are 8 customers with carts waiting to pay.Otherwise, great store that the community is lucky to have.

A trip to Columbus isnt complete without a stop at Saraga International Grocery Store. The produce is always fresh and of high quality. The selection of fresh fish and seafood is broad as is the selection of meats and poultry.In the isles there are honestly hundreds of different noodles made from a variety of grains. There are jars of sauces for convenience and the ingredients necessary for serious cooks. If your taste runs toward sweets, you can choose sweets from multiple nationalities.

Review №13

You get all the food from different countries. It has good prices.

Review №14

The aisles are too small and you have to go through a maze of produce aisle when you enter. There is little room for checkout, so when theyre busy it is very hard to find the end of a line.

Driving west on Cooke and the truck didn’t stop from Maize to turn right on Cooke. Had to slam on my breaks and slid towards him and it didn’t stop. Then he turned in front of a car to get on the 71S entrance. All over the road. Can’t drive or drunk. Hire competent workers.

With each isle focused on a different part of the world, this is our most multicultural grocery in Columbus! The stock rotates so if you see something you like, dont wait or it may not be in available in a month. Wonderful produce and meat prices with exotic choices.

I always find what I need to when I come here. Staff is friendly and products are great. Only reason for a 4 rating is that there was only 1 cashier open when there were a lot of customers. Other than that I love coming here

Review №28

My favorite market for fresh veggies and fish. Full of rows and rows of different countrys food, juices, spices and much more. They have gentleman who will cut your fish in every way you could want them cut. They have a beautiful selection of fish, shrimp, clams, oysters and even snails. Pick your live catfish, lobster and crab. There is a butcher who can cut you a perfect cut of meat and even a small section for cooking supplies such as pots, pans, plates and utensils. There is even a few hidden gems in the store as well, bakery, Mexican restaurant, Indian cuisine and Asian cuisine. Need a new charger or feel like getting a new piece of jewelry, guess what they have a kiosk for that.

This a great place to try ANYTHING from fresh produce (that you will have to Google to figure out how to eat it) to fresh fish or any other items on that hard to find recipe!Our kids love picking things out and trying them too!The restaurants inside are up now that Covid restrictions are a bit more relaxed! The latin bakery at the end is on of my favorite areas!

Not a bad place, large enough to be a whole sale place but unfortunately they have retail prices and some of them are steep.

Review №35

Large selection of fresh fish, meats and vegetables. Prices are fair. Not the cleanest establishment, quite dated and not in the best part of town, but were there for the prices and selection more so. Staff could use a little more friendliness toward shoppers. Would like them to carry BALUT in the future. More catered to India influences. Good variety of different rice. I like Basmatti most of all. Fresh meat department has great prices and pretty cool variety of meats (even offer camel and goat). Bit crowded and packed to the point it sometimes a challenge to push your cart around corners and certain areas. Lots of parking available. Overall, do recommend shopping for your international groceries here.

Long lines for checkout. Many varieties of produces but I highly doubt its quality. Few of the vegetables feels like artificially made and they dont even taste good.

If, by international, you mean including the the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and western Europe, you will be as disappointed as we were by this place. I expected something on the same level as the international grocery in Orlando. I was hoping to pick up some British tea, cookies, chocolate and chips (crisps) but found nothing from the northern hemisphere. Fantastic selection of fruits and vegetables, rice and lentils.

Looking for baby goat meat? Don’t buy from here..I went home with something that didn’t taste even like goat. Or may be a goat older than me.My family didn’t eat as it tasted different. I are only because of the hard work and time I took cooking it.Great place fresh food and seafood and meat, camel meat, Chinese, Brazil, Indian goods.

Saraga is an international grocery that carrries many different foods. They also have vendor stalls that sell baked goods, hot foods, cell phones and service. Check the dates of the things you’re purchasing because sometimes things are out of date.

Review №45

This is the biggest international grocery store I had been into in Columbus ! They literally have everything you might need to get for your dinner ingredients ! It’s like a giant eagle or Kroger style but all in international grocery ! Some of the stuff (green vege or herbs) are even cheaper than Kroger. The workers that work in there are super nice. If you need help don’t hesitate to go up to them and ask for help. They know where all the stuff location is at.When you walk into it for the first time. You will be overwhelm, as it is really big! There even have their own phone store in it, a baker store by the end of the check out and also a Mexican or Italian restaurant (I can’t recall cause I was in a hurry and walked passed it fast) in it ! I didn’t get to check the whole store out because it is that big. So I might miss out other stuff but I’m pretty sure that if you need any ingredients for your cooking, they have it all. From Brazil to Philippines grocery. They have it all !

Review №72

Ide usually give Saraga stars Ive been coming to Saraga for years and it has really started to go downhill as far as cleanliness goes. Butcher shop in the back smells like week old blood. Leads me to believe that sanitizing practices are not being done Fish market is really slimy and its clear that their cases are not cleaned properly. This is coupled with flickering overhead lights that are about strong enough to cause seizure. Registers always have a line but the way they have the store set up you have to line up and block the isles. A few bottles of bleach or sanitizer and rearranging the registers would really improve the place.

Jo
Review №73

The prices are on the higher side. You can find many things from other countries. I think there is a lot more Asian food items than Latin American items. There’s a really good bakery inside the Saraga. Although the Saraga is in a relatively unsafe part of town it has security guards or a Columbus police officer protecting the place. Most of the people that come here are hard working people.

Review №86

Before I first arrived here with some friends, I had never ever seen so many different foreign foods from several countries in one store. To me, it was amazing. Although I will admit a lot of it is of Mexican or Caribbean origin. After that the third most plentiful products were from eastern Asia. After that one and only visit, I never was able to visit again. If I could go back, I would be more than happy to. Especially because of that bakery that makes the oversized doughnuts.

If you have Island/Carribean/West Indies roots, are Hispanic/Latino or come from any part of Africa, Asia or anywhere overseas this is the store for you. Saraga has a little bit of everything. They have an over abundance of all kinds of produce friuts & vegtables from different parts of the world. Poltry, Meat, Fish fresh & frozen. All kinds of seasoning, spices, tea, coffee, rice & beans They have just about everything a grocery store has and then some. Prices are very reasonable. Be prepare because its not the cleanest but they try.
