Very good experience. Friendly staff. I was fully loaded my cart and forgot my wallet & GPay did not work at that time. One of the Staff( Raj) told me to take all groceries and provide the card details over the phone on my convenient time. I was thrilled, felt like shopping at my small town in India πŸ™

I wanted to five 5 stars, its clean and big, hygenic, staff is helpful, all items properly stacked and very well managed. Last year i bought some items which were expired when i chked at home, didnt return it coz no return policy. Quite understandable and i didnt complain. But i make a point to check expiry dates of everything, many expired items are still lying in racks. This is the pattern for almost a year. To hide expired date they put price tags on it. Please check expiry dates before buying. Its duty and onus of management to not sell any expired products. Or allow exchange if customers buy mistakingly. Has this been any American store, ppl would have sued the store.

I have been coming here for 2 years. The staff is very friendly and they care about the customer. The store has good vegetable and fresh produce items and the cost is affordable than other grocery stores. You can find all varieties of food, beverages, and veggies. Also, there are not only Indian foods but also south-east asian products.

All purpose flour (maida) was full of insects, which I realized when I opened the pack at home after the store hours. I immediately threw it and called them the next day to check other packets and discard them. The associate promised me a refund if I just bring the receipt. On my next visit, three people working there together denied giving refund, stating that I should brink back the product so that they can show to seller. I told them that I have pictures and videos, but they were not interested in them.The problem here is they promised something on call and denied doing that when went in person.Though a bit expensive, I used to shop here as it is close to my place. I would rather drive few extra miles to other reliable stores than to shop here. I usually encourage local businesses, but sorry!

This store is hidden in Ellicott City. Close to the Ellicott City Post Office off Ellicott Center Dr. They have a very large selection of spices in different brands like Chana Masala, Aloo Paneer, Butter Chicken, Garam Masala, etc, that come in conveniently small boxes. I found a large section on sweets treats with Milka chocolates and different cookies where I got a few things too. I did not get to see the entire store but what I saw I liked and will be back to explore what all they have. I used to buy a lot of the spices from Hmart but they must have changed suppliers because a lot of what I used to buy they don’t carry. So finding this store was gold!

I have been going to this business for many years. They have a great selection of items and always have what I need. The one worker named Akshat Shah did an excellent job of helping me get somethings as I was trying some new things. He was very knowledgeable in the items and recommended me the best ones and also showed me multiple items that were similar. He was very friendly and took the time to explain to me what the best things would be to buy.

The perfect place to get all your Indian foods (spices, snacks, frozen, vegetables, ...). The owner is an excellent source of info on what to buy, which brand is better, and will even recommend when to come back for the freshest veggies.

Please be careful with this store. They definitely charge you for the things you dont buy.If the business is not ethical lets not encourage them...There are options and I really think we the people should definitely stay away from this store in future.I dont remember the guy name, he wear specs and middle aged. I will never go to this store and i really dont want someone to cheat me...If they cheat on the food stuff and first thing i thought was my kids ( what if they sell expired food stuff) . I will never trust this store ever...Stay away people!!! We should encourage small business but not the cheaters or people who are trying to rob your money.

Ive been going to Ganesh Groceries for over 4 years now. Started when they were still at their old location off route 40. Ive seen significant improvements in their store over the years. From cleanliness to the tire of products they carry. They are now both enough where they carry everything I can think of getting from an Indian Grocery store!

You get lots of stuff..a tat bit pricey for its competition near by. The good part is it is pretty close to I 70. You can get in and out faster than Lotte or Patel if you dont live in Ellicott City.

Review β„–41

Two different occasions, the cashier charged higher prices for multiple items in the bill (they key-in the prices into the register). Both times it was the tall younger cashier. The second time I got annoyed and asked to talk to the manager, but the manager simply walked away as I was explaining! Unfortunately, honesty does not seem to be one of their strong suits. Please pay attention and double check the charges before you leave this store, or better yet, avoid this store. Should we not expect basic integrity and honesty from these stores?

Its neat, clean and organized. Unlike Patel Brothers and other customer oriented stores, one has no idea what price they are charging you for each item that is scanned at the check out counter since they have not installed a monitor screen facing customer that enables one to check actual price being charged for each item!

Review β„–83

This past sunday we had purchased two coconuts apart from a few other items. When we came home and broke open it, we found it to be spoiled. This has happened a couple of times with any US based stores and other Indian stores and every time, when we take the coconut back, without a blink of the eye, we either get a refund or they replace it. Expecting the same, I walk into the store, the guy at the counter does not have any directions on what to do and he calls his boss, the owner with two red lines on his forehead. The owner pretty much started the discussion with an anger tone stating he cant do anything with it and wont agree to a replacement or a refund. If he had started a reasonable conversation, it would have ended well. He said I dont have to buy coconut from his shop anymore and I replied, I dont have to buy anything from his shop anymore. This was the first time I have been to this shop to try it out. Given that there are couple of good options in Lotte and Patel nearby, I really dont see a need going back and I suggest other customers do the same to teach this guy the value of customers. Oh and eventually, I got my refund. So, yayy! Its just 3 dollars and it doesnt really make any difference in his or my life but what matters is a good customer service!

I went and purchased 40$ worth of groceries there and I forgot to take buiscuits. I went in again and took biscuits of 8.4$ and was paying him by debit. The person replied to me they dont accept cash blow 10$. I had cash in my pocket, but I said I just purchased 40$ worth of groceries from you, its just unfair. He says If you want to purchase go to an ATM else its fine. I went to the other Indian Store and got my stuff.
