I am sorry to say that since the old owner sold to the new owner everything has gone to downhill. The selection is very bad, so many items are no longer available, the prices have been raised. Some items have doubled in price. The attention to service is very bad. I would differently would not return, read more

This store offered a wide variety of spices, as well as lentils and basmati rice and some frozen Samosas that are perfect for a quick bite.

Buying spices from here for a while now. It's the easiest place for me to pick up since I can just park on the street and easily walk in. Amar has a such an amazing variety of spices and dried goods that I'm sure I could find all I need after a long commute home. They also have fresh vegetables and a ton of frozen items. Their selection of frozen samosas is immense that I've found myself trying almost all of them. The shop can be a bit overwhelming because it's super full and there are many isles you can't walk through but I didn't have a problem with it. Although there is a language barrier, the cashier was very friendly. I've never been over charged on any of my items thus far and appreciate when I need to reach for something too far back on the top shelf, the cashier is always willing to help (coconut milk is always at the back top shelf). read more

My go-to shop for south-asian spices, vegetables and other ingredients that are tough to find at the average grocery store. Love to stop in here for little snacks and candies as well. The gentleman who runs the shop is so kind and it's always a joy making conversation with him while checking out. read more

I come here for the papadums! I used to get ripped off by Indian restaurants serving 4-5 pieces of papadums for $2-3. I always thought there was a crazy complicated process to make papadum--which could justify the cost but it's SOO easy. The profits these Indian restaurants make from serving papadums is insane. So I walk into the grocery store and I ask where can I find lentil flour. The store owner asks "what do you need it for?" I said I want to make papadum. He's like why do you want to make it we sell papadum. And I was amazed. So I take it home and find out all I need to do to cook it is pop it in the microwave for 45-60 seconds and I'm done! Again I'm amazed. No more overpaying for papadum! Also a good place to pick up chai tea! read more

This guy (the owner) is a thief. Save yourself the trouble and shop elsewhere. He is very manipulative - He charges extra as he pleases and wont accept exchanges on products as he please. read more

They have the freshest produce, friendliest people, and everything you need for Indian cuisine. Lots of extras. I love shopping here!!!

This place is unorganized & a bit on the dirty side. I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 because there is a huge selection of Indian groceries but so difficult to find! There are items that do not have prices on them & my cousin got charged a higher price for the same item that the person in front of her paid for. The item was the exact same brand & size. I thought this was a one time mistake but I talked to others that said the same thing happened to them. Good thing is that there are other Indian grocery stores now, so I am not limited to this one. read more

We come here at least twice a month and are very happy with what we buy. If you have ever wanted to try fresh Leechee or Indian spices for cooking, this is your one stop shop. Everything is always fresh and the owner Diljheet is very welcoming. High recommend read more

Amar Grocery - Very great place to buy authentic Indian groceries! - Grocery Near Me - Fairfield, California

Amar Grocery has the best selection of Pakistani/Punjabi/Indian groceries. I found the masala flavored Lay's chips that I used to eat in Pakistan and it really hit the spot! Fruits, vegetables, Desi snacks, biscuits/cookies, drinks, spices, clothing, etc. This store really has it all, including a very friendly and helpful staff! The owners of Amar Grocery are also starting a restaurant next door that will open in a few months. They really hyped it up and mentioned that they will be providing fresh sugar cane juice, FOUR different flavors of lassi, and chefs flown in from India. I will definitely be checking it out!!! read more

Small store but awesome selection. I went in to get some spices only but ended up getting some fresh veggies, tons of spices, masala dabba (spice tin), a pot, and a few other items. They have a nice selection of kitchen items like serving utensils, stainless steel cups, plates, etc. Looked like they also had some clothing for sale as well. I moved from the Bay Area and didn't have high expectations, but this store actually had a lot more than some of the Indian stores I've gone to in the Bay Area. They even had some beautifully scented Arabic air fresheners. Great store! read more

I really don't have a good reason for not giving this place 5 stars other than this was my first visit and I am hesitant being overly-enthusiastic. But hey, I'm here reviewing it on Yelp not four hours after my visit, so let's just say it's a 4.5 rating. My family and I went to Amar to procure some hard-to-find ingredients for my never-ending experimentation with Indian food. Not only did they have everything we were looking for but the proprietor was extraordinarily friendly & took the time to help us find the really unusual items like nigella seeds and mango powder. This is also the place to go for curry leaves, mass-quantities of lentils, and just about anything else you could think of needing for a home-made Indian feast. A minor note for non-Indians shopping there: if you have a specific list of items you need, make sure you have either the Indian name for the ingredient or have a smart phone with Google at the ready. Nigella seeds are called kalonji, green mango powder is called amchoor, and I would have been up a creek if I hadn't been able to look it up in a hurry. read more

Now I know most Indian stores are not the cleanest or organized however this place needs a lot of improvements! A lot of the food had no price labels, they didn't have the large variety that other stores have although This store is much smaller and the lack organization in the store made it chaotic to shop in on a busy day. It's the only Indian grocery store in Fairfield Vacaville area so this is the only option. It is located right next to an Indian restaurant which is nice, otherwise this place only deserves 3 stars for now. read more

I found rose pedals for the cardamom cream cake I made from a 12/30/2015 recipe from the New York Times at this awesome store on Fairfield's main street. It has hundreds of spices, dried legumes, sweets--from candies to cookies, fresh vegetables, hair oil, at least five types of rose water to an entire section of clothing, jewels and fabric. They can even make a special, ornately decorated silk dress in ten days for you. The people are kind, helpful and friendly. Take a walk around this wonderful shop to experience an adventure to the Punjabi. I love this store. Herb and I are fans. read more

Awesome store! Friendly people! Coming soon Amar Indian cuisine for Indian and South Indian food in January 2018!!! Can't wait!!!

I ordered samosas from here. They were excellent! Wonderful flavor, fresh ingredients and piping hot. ONLY disappointment, the chutney sauce was not in the box when I got home. I assumed it typically came with the order, but I should have asked anyway. I will be back to try more for sure! read more

Amar Grocery has a wide array of Diwali Sweets, all laid out in their nearby restaurant, just 100 feet away!!! I have not eaten such good quality mithai (sweets) in Fairfield ever before! Freshly made here and such a wide variety for Diwali. Highly recommend it. Today was my third visit in three days to just stock up mithai. At $8.99 per pound they are reasonably priced, and you can mix and match different types. They must have over 25 different ones. read more

People here are only nice to their own kind! As you can see, good comments are coming from... Just look at their last names. My experienced there was really bad! I bought 3 Mangoes from that store for $4.50 and when i got home and start peeling them. Two of the mangoes i bought we're black inside. I went back to the store right away with those two mangoes to show them so i can exchange them. The old Indian guy from the counter told me that they don't do returns and/or exchange on fruits! He said he can give me only 1 FREE MANGO! I PAID for it. They told me I can't do anything so I left with just ONE MANGO! read more

I have been coming to this store since I was a kid. They were the sole Indian grocery store in this area for years. They have a huge variety even compared to some stores in the Bay Area like Berkeley. And a really varied sweets section. The staff is always friendly and offers help. They have clothing too so you can almost get everything you need in one place. Yes it's a little crowded but they definitely make use of the space they have. Can't fault them for that! read more

Love this place! it has a lot of variety and good quality products. There's not a lot of Indian grocery stores or restaurants in this area so it's nice to have a place like this. The staff are kind and helpful. The owner said he will be expanding soon and they will be providing alterations. I look forward to that! read more

Very friendly people. Excellent selection of spices. If they don't have what you need they will order it for you. read more

One of the cleanest and well kept Indiam grocery place I have seen. The seem to have almost everything one would need and carry stuff which even some of the South Bay stores don't carry. The Sikh owners are really polite and hard-working couple. I wish them success in their restaurant business which he mentioned they are gng to start soon. read more

I went here in hopes they would have henna and not only did they, but they had lots of options and the owner was very helpful in explaining the different types and their uses! read more

This store is run and operated by a loving couple and young handsome man...all 3 are wonderful at suggesting products to help me provide the best nutrition for our family to grow healthy. Their prices are competitive. I find I can get a pound of an herb that I would be lucky to get 4 ounces for at the other local grocery stores. If you are about healing your body through proper nutrition, these people and this store are an excellent resource. They treat you as though you are a well loved sibling and provide a great sense of community. read more

This was an amazing find for me. We moved from Fremont and were very much worried that we need to go to Dublin for Indian groceries. But this store saved me the pain. This has everything an Indian grocery store has and the prices exactly the same. The produce section in the store is comparatively smaller than the one I used to visit in Fremont. And they have Samosas and some Indian sweets. The owner is so polite and helpful to us on every visit. We are glad we found it. read more

Helpful service, reasonably priced, hard to find authentic indian spices and other products galore.

I went in to go get some henna and definitely going to come back for more the man that helped me was very nice and funny too they had lots of good things as well as henna I will definitely recommend this place to others read more

Wonderful selection! Very nice family.we really enjoyed the selection. My husband and I just moved from Virginia. We needed a place like this. Thanks! read more

Be vigilant when are you paying for grocery. They purposely charge extra about for the stuff you did not even buy it.

This store has so much! Not only did the owner help me find henna, he showed me around the grocery section of the store. He gave me a great deal and I was impressed with the selection. read more

Unorganized store. Overpriced. No customer service skills. Obviously everyone who is leaving positive reviews for them are the ones he chose to play favorites with. I found a better Indian store with better and friendlier service to go to instead of coming here. read more

I really like the store. I wish there was one like this in Vacaville. But, I wish the hours of operation were posted here and with the store had a website. read more
