Excellent food, excellent service. Definitely forgot to tip but I'll be going back as soon as I can to leave a triple tip next time to make up for it.

This little joint is so cute and filled with so many goodies. The diversity in Gainesville makes it so dear to my heart. There are so many exotic foods that you would only be able to find in this little Indian Bazaar. I'm not Indian, but as a latina I know how hard it can be to find food that reminds you of home! I loved coming here and exploring all the different Indian goodies. They have great prices on Indian spices and other Indian commodities. I bought honeycomb, aloe juice, chocolate barfi, paneer, and Indian cream cheese. Everything wzs delish. The cashier was an extremely sweet man!! I had trouble with my card working and he did it for me ahaha. He was so sweet. It was just my girl friend and I late at night and he made us feel so comfortable by asking if we needed anything else and helping us. Very nice establishment !!

This is the best Indian market I've ever been to. It's clean, has a wide variety of spices and ingredients and the folks working there are super nice and helpful. If you are cooking Indian food you really should come to this market, whether it's standard raw spices like cadomom seeds, frozen garlic cubes or fresh ginger and peppers they've got what you need.

Definitely wear something warm, because they keep this place pretty cold by Florida standards. I probably would have been there longer had I not been freezing. Perhaps, it's to keep everything fresh... Otherwise, this is a very nice Indian grocery store that offers beautiful fresh produce, authentic Indian food brands and a good variety of products. I could just go down every aisle and fill up a basket...easily! If I were a student, this would be one of my favorite spots to pick up pre-packaged Indian entrees and prepared meals. It's a tad bit on the pricier side, but there's a great variety and most of the staples are imported from the East. They even carry Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa incense and body products here among other wonderful home & personal care items. I love that they offer spices in smaller packages for around $1 each just in case you don't need pounds of cardamom. However, they do offer bulkier amounts of all essential spices for Indian cuisine. A few of the items you will find here are cardamom (fresh and green!), cumin, clove, cassia bark and cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, mustard seeds, fenugreek, turmeric, garam masala, and a plethora of curries! Omg! And the RICE! They have a great selection of big bags of basmatis! My favorite part of the store is they have ready-to-eat spicy samosas and kachori. They were huge and only $1.25 each. You could reheat them in the microwave they provided in-store or save them to take home and either crisp them back up in the oven or refry. They are not made locally. The samosas did not come with any type of sauce and I was told that I would have to buy some if I wanted it, but either way - I would come back here for those again. They were really yummy! The greatest discoveries for me were the boxes of Girnar Instant Cardamom Chai Milk Tea and the Girnar Instant Masala Chai Milk Tea. Each box contains 10 sachets to make yourself a delightful beverage at home by just adding hot water. This milk tea was also offered hot, pre-made in-store, but you're going to pay $1.99 for a tiny little cup. Just buy the box of 10 ($5.99 each). There are more flavors...

The store is clean and smells like Indian spices. There are so many options to choose from ingredients and/or pre-made Indian dishes. There are multiple brands so you can see different types of the same product. They also have a few house made dishes- we bought Samosas, Jalebi and a vegetarian filled hand pie. The Jalebi and Samosa were amazing! The hand pie was a bit dry. All in all this place was a very pleasant experience!

They have expanded and renovated, making the store even brighter, larger, and cleaner than before--and it's always been kept ship-shape, too. The selection of produce could be better, but on Indian canned/jarred goods, frozen food, and the like they're very very good. Their tea selection is ok but not ideal, but enough popular teas to pick from. Probably the highlight for me however is their selection of Indian sweets which is extensive and sometimes they have savory samosas that they make in the store for sale, as well. I'm also a fan of Indian pickles--mango, lemon, lime, many other varities--and they have plenty of these to select from, too. For a market the size of Gainesville, this grocery is quite impressive: I don't think we could expect a better Indian grocery for this size a city.

so much selection here! Tons of middle eastern frozen foods, most of it foreign to me but still quite the selection. Also noted the halal meat. Also has a large variety of foreign tobacco and such. Check it out, super friendly place.

We dropped by to get a few (6) bars of Dettol soap. To my knowledge this is the only place in the area that sells the stuff. The staff here do an impressive job keeping the shelves stocked with just about every middle eastern, Indian, East Asian and pacific islands food item you could want. Great frozen fish and meat selections with a very diverse vegetable/fruit section. The staff are very helpful, many times I've only had to show them a photo of what I was searching for and they would happily direct me to the right section and usually discuss various alternatives. It's an unnecessary level of customer service that keeps me going back. (A bit of useless information, they surprisingly clean restrooms.)

Whenever I am in town, I always stop by here for two things that I cannot live without. Kulfi and Tandoor brand vegetarian masala patties. Kulfi is Indian ice cream, and the traditional flavor has ground pistachio, cardamom, saffron, and other nuts. But they also have many other flavors- the mango is pretty good. It comes in pint or half gallon sizes, just like in a normal grocery store but it is pretty expensive. The Tandoor brand vegetarian masala patties are in the frozen food section and look like a box of veggie burgers that you would normally buy at the grocery. But, they taste like curry potato patties and are best served toasted on a bun with spicy mayo and a huge slice of tomato. Most of their frozen meals are a little pricey, but worth it when you are having a craving and cannot go out to eat. There is also a large selection of "Sweets" or Indian style candy desserts in the case next to the front window. Many of them taste the same and are made with milk powder, sugar, ground nuts, and spice- just in different colors and shapes. They are addictive, and made by a vendor in the Orlando area.
