Very disorganized and not much available. Very messy place. The person did not know much and not helpful.

Nice well stocked grocery with amazing spice prices compared to your regular grocery store rip off. Friendly welcome and offer of help on entering. I'm now stocked up with all the stuff to make my fave Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani dishes!! Nice snack shelf too! read more

Support our local businesses! They have some fresh produce and many dried goods and spices. They have halal meats( frozen), desserts and frozen items. Best Indian/Punjabi grocery store around thus far! Sweetest and nicest owners. Read my prior review with more information on especially their sweets! read more

See all

This review is for Nede or Nida whatever her name is, she does eyebrow threading in a seperate room here at apna bazar and let me say she sucks! I went to her during this quarantine cuz my eyebrows were in need badly, she was recommended to me by a friend. I took the chance and went to her and let me just say i'm pissed. I told her i like arch eyebrows and i even showed her a picture of my previously threaded brows. She made my brows thin and forget thin she made one side somewhat of an arch and the other side straight round looking with some missing hair spots. Also her threading is slow which causes more pain than usual. If you love your thick brows and arch shape then ignore going to her. Now i have to wait for idk how long for my brows to get thick again so I can get it arched by someone else. So disappointing! read more

Been a regular customer of this store for a good 12 years.About 10 years ago I bought packets of frozen seekh kebabs.As I went to cook them they all had green fungal on them I opened up 3 more boxes and they were all the same.I called the store and returned them and got my money back and also called the contra Costa health dept.Fast forward to Monday Dec 30 I picked up Barfee box Indian sweet made from milk and Gulab Jamaan which are the sweet browns browns.On News day I went to eat them as tou have to refrigerate them....the Barfee had green fungal spots on them.This tells me that they have been sitting for god knows how long in there store and have not been able to turn around there merchandise quickly.Barfee sitting around too long will go bad.There was no label on the box to say when it was packed or even a use by date since it's a milk product.But the owners should still know when they got the product and how long it should stay on the shelf before being pulled as it will go bad.The Gulab Jamaan box I took a bite and it was just absolutely disgusting the taste was just appaling.I know about Indian sweets or food since I'm indian.All I can say is stay away from this place,it seems to me the milk products or other products are sitting on the shelves for way too long and instead of them discarding them which is what they should do they leave them on there for God knows how long and continue to sell These products which is a major concern for people's safety with these tainted products. I WIOULD NOT RECOMMENDED THIS PLACE AT ALL.STAY AWAY. read more

They have everything you need, from India to Pakistan to Arab Gulf countries. Clean and neat, also the place from inside reminds of back home. read more

Unfortunately this is the only Indian store in the area which is why we have had to go there a few times. They basically get all their stuff from Milan store in Berkeley and sell at twice or thrice the price of Milan. (Because they know we have no choice). A few of us have begin boycotting the store and get our Indian items from Milan now. I have no association with Milan but the service and the pricing compared to this rip off store is worth checking it out. This couple is so cheap and will fight with you for pennies. If you can't go to Milan or any other store elsewhere, there is a small Indian store in Oakley. Go there but stay clear from here. (Also notice, that the other comments are by Americans and not Indians, that's because we know that these people rip us off. Americans have no way of knowing the price so they think it's a good deal. What a shame! read more

A gem of a grocery store! Small, but big on personality and a good selection of Indian groceries and media. We shop there for vegetarian options and for quality daal (lentils) at a very good price. The owners are very helpful and warm, often helping us make selections from items that would otherwise be unfamiliar to us. We dropped in today to pick up some items and commented on one of the Bollywood films that was playing on the TV and the owner gave us a free comedy DVD with our purchase to enjoy! This is why we like to support local ethnic businesses! read more

I love coming to this grocery store. My friend introduced me into coming here. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I love their selection of frozen food and dessert. I absolutely love Nida. She does amazing things to my eyebrows. read more

Love this little Market! Best place to get Henna in East County. I checked the price of my HUGE bag of Henna and it was cheaper to purchase here than on Amazon! If you are a Henna fan for sure this is the place to visit. Nice people too. read more

Par average groceries over priced and stale this old lady try to sell you anything and everything they have in their freezer for last five years. Not going back! read more

I'm English, living in California and I long to make my own curries. I've looked literally everywhere for 'Pataks' sauces & pastes which are great for a base for making my Indian curries. My wife and I stopped at this place (on spec) simply through Yelp's recommendation. What a gem of a store, lots of great Indian food groceries and the owner could not be more willing to help us. She was very friendly, too. A fantastic selection of items - I will for sure be back. She even said she would order in items if she did not have it on the shelf especially. Can't get better than that! read more

I like going to this place! They're very helpful, I go here to buy my henna and my husband buys their India seasonings there too. They're not friendly if you're not Indian however they do assist you which is good read more

I'm never driving all the way to Fremont anymore. Wonderful clean well-stocked store. The owners are helpful and friendly. What more can u ask for? read more

This review is for Nida, not the store! Nida does threading in a room towards the back of the store and SHE IS AMAZING! I have been getting threading done by her for the past 7 years and she is just the sweetest person. She actually listens to what you want and she is always honest. Oh and her prices are great too! read more

Customer oriented, consistency and passion is how I would describe my visit and shopping experience at this gem of a store. Fully loaded, well priced and well stocked with a large variety of Indian groceries that cater to every palate. Been going here with my wife for several years now and its been a wonderful experience. The husband and wife team is cordial, caring and very responsive to your every need and thats why they have been in business this long. I recommend this store to everyone and I gave it a 5 because it deserves a 5. Here's to many more successful years in the times to come Apna Bazaar and thank you for being part of our community. read more

Very friendly and informative, I needed some very specific Indian food that my doctor prescribed and they helped me find it with in moments of walking in the store. Nice people & all of the ingredients I needed they carried. I recommend them highly! read more

Great place! The owners are very nice and so helpful. I came in looking for two things and she took the time to walk with me and give suggestions on products. I'm trying a crockpot butter chicken, and if it goes well I will definitely be back to shop for all the ingredients there. It is nice to have a store in town that cares for their customers! read more
