Best choice for Kerala Food - we have been over to Kea multiple times for groceries, meat, fish, and home style cooked food including Kerala snacks (pazham pori, bonda, vada, samosa etc.). Their quality and taste are both authentic and unique. We had recently ordered Onam Sadya from Kea. Starting with the punctuality to all the way to the taste - it was authentic.The shop owners are very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

KEA has established themselves as an essential component of the life of Kerala community in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. They are consistent in service even while wide range of services from providing seamless grocery shopping experience to keeping stock of the diverse items that are used by the Kerala community, from frozen foods to catering to large crowds and many other details that touch the life of expat Keralites and South Indians. They also carry general grocery and speciality items for Afro-Asian community as well. Friendly staff and very customer focused management. I recommend this place

So I go to this place because I am hoping they have spring rolls wraps that you can fry. As soon as i go in, there is no one there, anywhere. No problem, i go straight to the frozen section and look. I am pressed for time because i have company coming over. I look quick and find nothing. Still I see no one. So i go walking down the store to see if i can find someone to ask, and in the far back i see a man sitting eating i think in the kitchen area. So he looks at me and asks me how he can help me. I asked him if they sold the egg wraps, spring rolls wraps that you can fry. He looks and says, No we do not, we can not help you, sorry. So i turn around and see a lady go into the restroom as I am walking back to the freezer isle. I start to look closer in the freezer isle and guess what i find, exactly what i need in the lower rack a little far back. So i walk to the man that was still eating and never got up, and show him that i found what i was looking for. He said, you found what you need, I said yes and i am ready to pay. so he sits there looking at me and make a motion with his hands and his mouth. So i figure he is just going to finish chewing that food in his mouth. So i go to the register and wait for about 5 min and nothing. The guy never came out. Then the lady comes out of the restroom and sees me and walks by saying hello, I ask her if she may help me because I am ready to pay. She looks at me and says that the man will be able to help me, but i tell her that he is eating and hasnt come out. she looks dis-trout and says, he will come out when he is done eating. Are you kidding me!! Really! she sees my concern on my face and says that she will go and ask him. So she goes to him, then comes back and gets what i am purchasing and takes them to him. Then she comes back, rings up the items and yells the total to the man, then she yells how much i am paying and yells what my change is. He never gets up! Then she says she is sorry and i leave. Would i go back... Probably only because it is closer than the Asian market...Would i wish there was another Asian market closer here, YES!!!

You won’t believe the love and care the owner puts into the food he cook. Our whole family love the food from KEA. It’s truly a blessing to have a store like KEA near us for all of us longing for Indian Food and Groceries. I can’t believe all those people leaving bad feedbacks ever know the owner of this store takes care of his customers. Every single customer is treated with utmost love and care and I appreciate his dedication and love for his customers!!We, my family and friends truly appreciate the taste and quality of the food from KEA and recommend the food for anyone, blindfolded...

Review №17

Be cautious, unethical owner costs all corners to make a profit. He has been discovered taking discarded/expired meat and produce from local big chain grocery stores then using it at his store and kitchen for resale. How shameful of a human being must you be, how far are you willing to go to make an extra dollar?

We used KEA Import Food for our appetizers at our wedding. The guests were raving about the delicious food and how flavorful everything was. The staff were prompt and always responsive to any questions we had before the wedding as well. I’m so glad we went with KEA Imports for our appetizers and of course the mango lassi as well! It was the perfect way to start the reception!

We hired Siby (owner) and the KEA Imports team for our wedding to serve appetizers during our cocktail hour. We were thrilled to have chosen them for this task. We had so many guests come to our during and after the wedding mentioning our delicious everything was. Hes got several options to choose from, all of which were delicious. We were very happy how things turned out!

Good place. HOWEVER I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN ABOUT FROZEN FISHES IN PACKETS FROM INDIA. IT HAS BEEN TREATED WITH BAD CHEMICALS TO PRESERVE LIKE FORMALIN WHICH IS VERY BAD FOR HEALTH. This is not an issue with the grocery shop BUT THE IMPORTER SHOULD BE CAREFUL. WE WILL REPORT TO FDA IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THEY WILL LOSE THE LICENSE !

Do not buy anything from this place. We bought a bag of rice from here which expired in 2017 and we didn’t notice it until we opened the bag and it was full of black bugs. We took the bag back to the store and they refused to give us the money back. If you’re buying anything from here please check the date.

Dont ever order catering from KEA IMPORTS even if its your last resource. We had ordered past week for a function and was disappointed to the very extend...Owner kept on repeating YEARS OF FOOD SERVICE but was worse than a beginner, Half of the orders were not fresh...Was told to me by a close friend from St. Thomas Knanaya Church, Irving that on Good Friday this year even the NERCHA KANJI was short by half of the given count and was given excuse of missing tray by the owner... We did a big mistake by not cancelling the order, the taste of the food was all because of taste-makers not because of freshness !!!Im writing the review because of multiple invitees complaining of not getting enough mango lassi, meat puffs and moreover FEELING SLEEPY AFTER THE MEAL !!!!!!RATING - 0/5

Guys,I cant believe we ignored the warnings and got in such a tragic situation !One word experience with the catering service is CHEATING !!Believe me, we have never been through this situation and pray no one ever be in one like this when u have guests from all over United States !!!The offers sounded Best food, customer satisfaction and lot more... I would describe the experience as pure cheating, reasons are because 2 functions I attented in 2 weeks span including ours were disappointing and disgusting !We were told a rate which was reasonable, I agree but my husband specifically told Sibi chettan that there shouldnt be any compromise with quality of food... Sibi chettan told Thats what I have been doing for 30 odd years, I consider this as my personal responsibility blah blah blah...But reality was entirely opposite !!!# Suggest you all dont trust what he offers, in worst scenario get the rate and dishes in writing.. so u have the proof when u go to pay off...NB - 3rd function was suppose to be this weekend and our friend cancelled the order after our experience even before we wrote a review !

Im regretting to refer my friends to KEA Imports for a catering service !Heard a lot of negatives from people who attented, pointing out some below1. Food wasnt fresh2. Had to wait in line to get Mango lassi out of container, when asked for an alternate solution to get lassi from dispenser, owner ignored and kept on shaking the dispenser to get lassi out.3. Taste-makers were used causing drowsiness afterwards4. Half of the dishes were stored inside the containers and had to prompt to get it out (felt like we were asking for extra servings)5. Last but not least Miscalculations, both my friends had lots of mis-matching rates from what were told while placing order !!!!To the owner Sibi,If you read this review, I seriously suggest you to be at least sincere or kind with customers so they dont have to bow-down infront of their guests !!!

My nephews baptism was ruined by KEA IMPORTS Catering !Overall rating -@ Food was average@ Servings or portions weren’t transparent at all, needed to prompt to get refills evenif server was standing in front@ To-go left overs were sorted out and given@ when settling payments ‘I brought extra 5lbs and was used’ For real ?@ Miscalculations when adding !Jeez this is ridiculous !I can’t believe we were in this situation !Recommend ‘Dont cater with kea imports if you don’t want to mess up your function’*/5

Great place to get South Indian groceries, especially anything from Kerala, india. I been to here to buy jackfruit which was really good and the salesman helped to pick a good one. It was hard to search something inside, cluttered. Its better to ask the salesman to find the stuff which you want instead of searching in your own!!!
