So being an insta fan and yelp fan and a Yelp Elite myself (of course!) I had heard about these little pockets of heaven - aka Samosas. So, having established that this establishment was so near to where I work, I HAD to check it out. The service was fact and friendly. I told the male owner, why I was there! I said your samosas are supposed to be amazing, and if they are then I will be back. He winked at me! so..... verdict? I bought three and was on my way to work, so I thought I would sample and nibble ONE in the car whilst driving. OH dear!!! That failed....they must have been amazing (which they were) as I guiltily and glamorously and decadently ate them ALL in my car. I cannot remember a BETTER samosa that I have tried. GO!!!!! read more

Absolutely the best samosas in town. Mr. Khan is a pleasure, always service with a smile. Small and quaint store but full assorted. Highly recommended for merchandise and a meal. read more

The most delicious samosas in Miami are found here in this little mom and pop grocery store! Not to mention, they have all sorts of Indian delights to choose from. read more

As an Indian in Miami, I find Indian and Asian stores hard to find. Asia grocery is close by in Gables, has everything you'd need, and clearly has its base of regulars in the Indian and non-Indian community who shop here. Very glad I found it. read more

I had a great expirience here today. The owner walked me through quite a bit of different recipes and different ways of cooking. He was incredibly kind and generous with his time. I am learning how to cook better Indian food and this was a great place to start. read more

Delicious moon cakes in August and great service and prices all year long. What more could you want?

The perfect place for all your Asian - Indian groceries. Spices, sauces, fresh vegetables and meat. The staff is so friendly and the owner himself takes care of you every need. read more

This little market will amaze you! They have a really large selection of Asian products and even carry halal meats. They also have a variety of Asian veggies both fresh and frozen. You can also find hair and body products, teas, snacks, and plenty spices. But i will let you in on a little secret...they make the absolute Best Samosas! these babies are hot and delicious...super crispy pastry filled with a potato chickpea mix that is a bit spicy and very flavorful. And do ask for the spicy sauce cause it's amazing. Also order one of the Chai teas, they come in different flavors and already sweetened. My favorite is the cardamom Chai, it's just perfection. The service here is excellent, everyone is super helpful and offer great recommendations if you are unsure on how to prepare or cook something. read more

My daughter has been asking me to buy henna for months. Because we had some time to kill while waiting for food, I called first to confirm the business was open and if they carry henna. We were in luck. They were open until 4 pm on Christmas Day. When we arrived, I asked the man I spoke with about the henna and he showed me several options, both under $4 so very affordable. We ended up buying two tubes and some potatoe samoas which were only $1. The samoas were tasty (fresh / hot and flavorful). The aisles were a little cramp and store wasn't very big but service was helpful and friendly. read more

In college I dated an exchange student from the London School of Economics, she was basically the human version of the United Nations. Born in Israel, ethnically Turkish, spoke Greek, and practiced a customized version of Sunni Islam. Hande didn't cover her hair with a hijab or abstain from alcohol, but was tyrannical about observing religious holidays and not eating haraam (forbidden) foods. We met just before Ramadan, the month of fasting, and she spent that time starving and jittery from nicotine withdrawal. Towards the end of the month she was starting to get delirious, and probably imagined I was a walking-talking İskender kabob and get uncomfortably close to smokers to inhale their breath. I needed to cheer her up. After a successful Ebay mission to get a carton of Lark cigarettes, I was on a quest find Halaal meat. The only problem was Miami isn't Dearborn, Michigan with the nation's largest Muslim community. This was pre-Yelp so by sheer luck I found a Pakistani cabbie outside of Club Space, and he pointed me to Asia Grocery. It not only had what I was looking for but these treats as well -- A menu of seven homestyle items cooked to order. The whole bill of fare costs $20 and will feed 2 big, 3 average, or 4 small people. Having not even seen a South Asian until I got to my first college-level Chemistry class, I had no idea what I was eating. For your benefit here's a brief glossary -- Paratha: buttery fried bread. Chicken Tikka: marinated in yogurt, butter and spices, then baked in a clay oven and served with a cucumber/onion/tomato salad. Rolls: beef kabab (spicy ground meat), chicken kabab (saffron-spiced) or vegi (curried legumes and vegetables) wrapped in a paratha. Samosa: fried pastry stuffed with spiced garbanzos, potatoes, peas and carrots served with chili sauce. I washed it all down with some freaky drinks. It was a bit of trial and error as I tried an Aampanna (green mango) juice box that was saltier than licking Paula Deen's armpit. As an encore I tried Ayran (mint yogurt drink) that's similar to lapping up a Yoplait that someone that doesn't like you dashed against the ground at the Bonneville salt flats. These are some I enjoyed -- Badam: sounds like something a pimp from the '70s would say, "I went BADAM! on those jive turkeys!" but it's really almond milk available in regular, chocolate or saffron flavor. Basil Seed Drink: feels like you're drinking a bottle of insect larvae but tastes like the goddess of love Kamadeva herself poured you a glass of honey-wine. Idris Fiery: ginger beer with hands that will literally choke you with hot hot heat. After trying sweets made from lentils (Jaangiri) I decided to go the more familiar route and purchased Kulfi (frozen custard). The flavors made me realize why the spice trade began in the first place...Falooda (rose), Kesar (saffron) and Pista (pistachio). Asia Grocery is a scaled-down version of the Anarkali Market in Lahore, Pakistan which sells anything and everything from instruments to rice cookers. If you need any help don't be afraid to ask any of the employees of this family-owned business. They're a treasure trove of information for where to buy saris, best tea for making chai or recommendations for Hindi films. I counted down the end of Ramadan to the minute and made my entrance bearing cancer-sticks from England, meats blessed by a cleric, and potatoes (Polish vodka). We watched the Bollywood rom-com, Salaam-Namaste, and then I serenaded her with Modern English's lyrics "I'll stop the world an melt with you" while using a kulfi popsicle as a microphone. It was a night worth waiting 43829 minutes for. read more

I can't believe that my review is gone but anyway I will repeat it: I looooove this place. It has become a custom for me to come in here each time I have to go to UM. These are my reasons why I love this place: They offer Indian food in order for me to cook at home. So I get the ingredients from this place. They have also Arabic ingredients for my Arabic cooking. The background Indian music Their nice and attentive costumer service The smell of all the wonderful spices they sell in here And their ONE AND ONLY $1 Samosas!!!! I'm definitely coming back forever for more. No puedo creer que mi crítica haya desaparecido, pero de todos modos lo repetiré: me encanta este lugar.

I recently moved to Miami and this place was recommended to me by some students in yoga class. Great selection of Indian groceries, including organic dal and rice. Super nice owner and amazing samosas!!! read more

A tiny shop that has a lot more inside than expected. Lots of refrigerated/frozen items and a very good selection of snacks and spices - great full-service shop to get authentic Indian package goods and beverages - some fresh fruits and vegs as well. read more

Absolute best service ever, true gems - the family that owns this place is so sweet and was very welcoming (especially since I just moved to Miami). They have everything you need and will come out to your car to help you put your groceries away. I enjoy shopping here and will always get my meats and asian items from here. read more

very good and well organized store in small space. I can find anything what I can find in very big indIan grocery stores. Owner is very quick, friendly and helpful to each customer personally. Very glad to reach at Asia grocery. read more

Nice place for samosas I am not a local to Miami, but whenever I visit I pick few samosas for there. It is worth making the trip read more

I'm so happy I found this place. I found everything I was looking for and more. Small but clean and organized. They have really tasty food. I forgot the names sadly. Great prizes. You can find a little bit of everything there. The gentlemen in the front were so nice and spoke Spanish really well which was great since my mother had a few questions and she doesn't speak English. Wonderful customer service, extremely helpful and polite. I will tell my friends and family about this place and will be returning. read more

This is the closest Indian shop to me, and I wouldn't trade it for any other. It's small, filled with products, and smells just like India. Khalid, the owner, usually has fresh samosas and baklava. They are delicious. You can sit in a tiny table in the shop and order from his menu. It makes you feel like you're not in Miami anymore. Everything they make is delicious: the chicken roti wrap, the cardamon tea, did I mention the Samosas? This Asia Grocery is primarily tailored towards East Indians. They sell the "heat and eat" pre-made Indian foods, have plenty of vegetables, gulab jamun, and chilled yogurt drinks. They have a section of beauty items, household items, and they have the latest Bollywood films available for purchase. The owner and his wife are so sweet and very friendly. It's always nice to make a stop at Asia Grocery. read more

My favorite Asian grocery and cafe!!!! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you so much for helping me help others around the world. read more

At least once in your lifetime stop by here to get the most incredible samosas... and I'm sure you'll be returning for more. They are only $1 each and they have the most incredible flavor. Add some chili sauce for an extra kick. Also try the Veggie rolls, they are something like $3.50 and are so good. Finish off with some pistachio baklava and you've had a light, healthy, delectable meal. Oh and the grocery offers a ton of Asian items packed in a small space and the nice owners will be glad to assist you for whatever you're looking for. But I mainly come to satisfy my samosa and veggie roll cravings. read more

Went today for the first time and the guy who checked out my order (maybe the owner) was very friendly and made me feel at home. In fact he knew several of the customers by name! They have a very large selection and you can find pretty much any selection of Indian snacks/spices/ tea that you could want. I'll be back for any other needs! read more

Such good little find. Perfect for a quick bite. Delish chicken wrap and mango shake. The empanadas are great. Everything super fresh and friendly staff. Will be back for sure. read more

Asia Grocery - Grocery Near Me - Miami, Florida

Hands down my favorite Indian food supply stop. The best thing here are the freshly made samosas for--drum roll--$1 each! Nowadays, especially in Miami, that's unheard of for something hand made in the store. They are about the size of an empanada and are full of a mixture chickpea, potatoes and loads of fragrant spices. They have a very spicy sauce that they serve them with, with lots of red pepper flakes. After 8 pm they are made to order. You can find just about anything you need for cooking Indian cuisine. You'll find raw ingredients, ghee, frozen prepared dishes, jarred sauces, snacks, and beverages, too. The staff are friendly and helpful. You can definitely step up your Indian game with these ingredients. OR you can buy like 5 samosas and pig out. read more

Love their $1 samosas and friendly customer service. Such a large selection too for a smaller grocery!

This is such an awesome spot to pass by and pick up many grocery items as well as beauty remedies and hot food served to go. Plenty of the aisles are packed with so many asian cooking supplies that give you the opportunity to sample some authentic and unconventional dishes you sometimes haven't been exposed to. Asia has such a broad variety of cuisines and cultures so you'll be able to spot out many Indian and Arabic foods throughout the aisles. The aroma from all the herbs and spices immediately greet you as you walk in further enhancing your shopping experience. There's plenty of soups and sauces worth trying out. Those samosas are literally crunchy morsels of heaven that were sent from above. I like their tea selection a lot and always pick some up when I'm here. I like leaving here with at least one item I've never tried before because I find joy in exploring different tastes and cuisines. Their juices are fresh and loaded with vitamins to boost your immune system with much-needed love. The herbs are kept cool and are visibly superior to what you'd find (if you can even find it) in nearby markets. This place wins in every category with a top notch rating from me. read more

The owner is soooo nice! I love coming to this store, its packed with unique and practical finds. There is something for everyone. You have food, spices, clothing, bags, cookware, teas, juices, incense, ect. The owner goes out of his way to find items for me and is nice enough to explain differences of products. I frequent this place with momma bear and we always get samosas to go. A must try but be careful they are addicting! Always and forever coming back to this place =} read more

I just moved to Miami so I came in for the first time to buy some halal meat, spices and other groceries. I could not have felt more welcomed and satisfied after a grocery stop. Khalid and his daughter were VERY friendly! They helped me pick out every item I needed, even advised me on what brands to buy to save money! You can find almost anything you need for any Indian/Pakistani dishes. I'm glad I found this shop! Will definitely be making this my go to grocery store!! read more

I loved this place. The spice smell is overwhelming when you walk in, but I'm probably just not used to it. The man (not sure if he's the owner) treated me & the other patrons in the store like VIP. He helped me find the spices I was looking for & even found me shortcut pre-mixed spices to make my Indian dishes even faster. He even gave me tips on different ways to make use of my spices. They have beautiful fresh ginger in the fridge. There were also other fresh items in there like mint, culantro and fruit. Now I can make all those interesting recipes I'd been holding on to because of not being able to find the ingredients. Yay! read more

I have been searching for fresh turmeric root for a couple months in south Florida with no luck at the major chain health food stores or even a couple farmers markets. Asia grocery had plenty in stock along with fresh ginger and a variety of other spices and Indian treats. The staff was very friendly and the place definitely had a family business vibe. :) They also carry European chocolate bars (the real Cadbury). I will definitely be back to explore some more. Thanks! read more

Asia Grocery - Fresh turmeric root, or Haldi - Grocery Near Me - Miami, Florida

I love this place. Its primarily an Indian/South Asian grocery, vs most of the other asian groceries which are typically Chinese groceries in Miami. They sell takeout stuff made there (tandoori chicken, and other delicious stuff). It is honestly a bit overwhelming to the non-asian cook, but they are all very helpful. The samosas are delicious too! Think every type of indian sauce or spice you can imagine. Tons of products imported from India which you won't find anywhere else. Prices are very reasonable (especially if you compare to the asian aisle at whole foods). read more

If you're like me, you probably drove past this place and assumed it was an East Asian grocery. So, I came here expecting to pickup some lemongrass and maybe even some lime leaf. Well, when I walked in, I was very pleasantly surprised. This is actually an Indian grocery with tons of goodies. For those of you looking for East/Southeast Asian products, they do have some of that. To give you an idea, they have the canned green and red Thai curries, they have Sriracha products, soy sauce, dark soy, rice vinegar, chili vinegar, jasmine rice, and even some rice noodles in the back right corner on the wall by the bags of rice. Just to clarify, don't expect much on the Pakistani end of things. Indo-Pak stores are common where I'm from, but this one, aside from the small East/Southeast Asian shelf, is pretty much 100% Indian products. As far as the Indian products, they have all kinds of spices imaginable, whole and ground--whole cardamon, various curries, fenugreek, garam masala, basically everything. They also have those little green hot peppers along with some herbs such as cilantro, mint, and what I'm pretty sure was tarragon. That said, don't expect to find East Asian herbs here. Where the majority of the true gems were was, believe it or not, in the freezers. They had boxes of different types of samosas, chapati, and all sorts of prepared Indian meals you could possibly conceive of, as well as some sort of yummy-looking onion pancake-like thing. They also have in the refrigerated section those delightful juices you find at Indian restaurants and groceries with the fresh taste of exotic fruits like mango, lychee, and more . They also sell plastic containers with a variety Indian desserts in each one for $5.99 in the refrigerator and a plastic container of what I think may have been a sort of felafel (it was some kind of chickpea ball). They also sell prepared foods and do orders for catering because I saw someone picking up a fresh tray of samosas with a red sauce. I don't remember everything they sell fresh, but I know they have kababs for $3.99, naan ($2), and samosas ($1). I had one of the samosas and it was sooo tasty! It has curry potato chunks with peas, shredded carrots, and tons of warm spices. It had the perfect amount of heat that left that nice, slow burn in my mouth. I highly recommend you stop by and try the samosas. Honestly, as I drove away while eating my samosa, I was seriously contemplating going back to get a meal from them because it has to be good, considering how good the samosas were. My only complaint is that they could have been just a tad bit crispier and flakier, but it was still delish! As far as customer service goes, the woman was a bit smug, but the man was super friendly and helpful, despite the fact that he was busy running around taking care of various things. I would recommend this place for anyone who longs for Indian food and wants nothing but the goods. I'm used to having access to tons of Indian restaurants and markets nearby, so I'm glad to have found this place here in Miami. The only real complaint I really have, and the main reason I am docking a star, is that things were a little on the pricey side...not outrageous, but I've seen cheaper for sure. For example, small bottles of dark soy sauce were $2.99. Where I'm from $2.99 gets you a large 24oz bottle of fish sauce, for example. If I could, I would say 3.4 stars as well for the prices and the smug service from the woman. BUT, the food they make themselves was pretty affordable, by Miami standards. They do accept credit cards and they don't have any silly minimum amounts. read more

Stopped in here earlier this evening after reading all the positive reviews, and wanted to leave one myself! As soon as I walked in, the young woman at the cash register greeted me with a friendly smile and helped me find the spices I was looking for. We chatted for a bit about the Indian community in Miami and Bollywood films that will be playing in South Florida. I felt very welcome here. The selection of products is pretty big; everything from spices and lentils, to cooking supplies, Bollywood films and CDs, skin care, produce, frozen meals, and more. I will definitely be back. Miami doesn't have a huge selection of stores to purchase Indian foods, so this place is a gem! read more

The Asia Market on Miller Drive is a magical wonderland of everything Indian. We stumbled upon this place by accident one day and now it has become a destination....we even bought "Classic Indian Cooking" so that we can cook with some of the awesome spices that are in this place. The family that runs the store is very helpful and they do not tell you to buy stuff that you will not need or use. I made a massive list of ingredients from my new cook book and they helped us find everything and gave us tips on how to make things last, etc. I will continue to travel the distance to go to this place to get Indian spices and ingredients - it's worth the traffic on the 836 to get there... read more

3.5 stars; the default Indian grocery store in Southern Miami-Dade. Why? Well, there are a few others around, but this one is easily the best, especially in its new, larger location (in the plaza just next to its old location). Still, if you can plan ahead to do your shopping at one of the Indian grocers further north (like Mirch Masala, in Northern Miami-Dade), it will be better for your wallet, as you do pay a premium for its near-Gables location. The family that runs it are very helpful and friendly and make sure you try their samosas - they're very good. However, skip the chicken tikka and chicken tandoors also on offer. read more

Wow! I can't believe I've lived in Miami as long as I have and never been to Asia Grocery until only recently. Fantastic selection of South Asian ingredients. Spices, beans, flours, junk food, bottled sauces, premixed spice packages for vegetables or meat dishes, etc. Look in the freezers for frozen meat offerings, like whole chickens or lamb brains. Probably more than a dozen different kinds of basmati rice. The shop is clean and bright. Staff are helpful. The fresh vegetables section could be better, with a larger variety of items (in fact, I'd love for them to have a selection of vegetables as broad and as attractively displayed as at Lucky Oriental's shop) -- but even so this shop is a clear 5-star in my book! read more

This place was a lifesaver! My regular henna person isn't an option anymore and I decided to start doing it myself. This shop had a few options for henna hair dye and conditioner (I chose the one I could read lol), and so many other goodies!! It was kinda packed (Saturday afternoon) so I just ran in for my stuff and left. Next time I'm definitely picking up some snacks and trying their food, and probably stocking up on incense since they have a huge amount. They have a $5 minimum for card, and a 10% discount for cash. The staff is really nice and efficient, one of them even came out to help people exit the lot when a big landscaping truck blocked us all in. read more

My favorite food in the world is Indian, but Miami is very limited. My husband and I shop here, ever so often, to stock up on spices and all sorts of delicious teas and chutneys. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They are always eager to answer any questions. We've been coming here as a family for years, and we always feel like we've travelled to the Far East on a culinary adventure. Excitement for the senses! read more

The store is really disorganized, hard to work through it to look for what you need. I'd never suggest taking in a stroller or wheelchair in this location . I only go to this store if my go to store is out of what I need. Items are priced a bit higher than most places. I guess it's just taking an opportunity of the location. read more

Asia Grocery - Grocery Near Me - Miami, Florida

Awesome market! The name is potentially confusing, as it's South Asia, not East Asia that's represented here. Huge selection of food and household products from India and Pakistan. Tons of pickles and chutneys, frozen prepared foods, and more. Small menu and space for eating in. Not a restaurant. Reasonable prices, and a 5% discount for cash. Super friendly staff. read more
