Definitely a hidden gem! This place is like Target. I come in for one thing and leave with a bunch of new food items that I never would've thought to try. The owners are very knowledgeable and if you ask for an item, either they have it or often they have similar items that exceeded the taste of what I originally came in for. In the rare case that I am not willing to budge on the item that I came in for, the owner let me know he will make sure get it ordered and begin stocking it. Yea right. Talk is cheap; at least that's what I thought. I come in the next week and what do you know, he had it in stock. That is what I call service. The place is always clean and the produce is fresher than the other south asian stores in the area. Thank you Bazaar team! You now have a customer for life!! See you next week!!! read more

worst store most of the things are expire. Waste of rude people trying to fight with you don't go totally waste of time and your gas. if it's up to me, I will give zero star, but I have to give them one star because it's letting me post my review. read more

Awesome service! Came in looking for Tamarind sauce and was recommended this one and we LOVED it! My sis made "Indian burritos " with butter chicken, samosa filling, mint chutney and this tamarind sauce. HIGHLY recommend for a mouth orgasm! Will be back!! read more

Bazaar - Mmmm Indian burritos. Secret Tamarind sauce the employee recommended and was spot on! - Grocery Near Me - Vallejo, California

Only Indian market close enough with variety of spices for day-to-day home-cooking! And staff is helpful when can't find what I need. As an avid cook and non- East Indian, staff has been helpful & patient. I've come out of store with recipe suggestions for what to do with certain vegetables or spices. And store also have small selection of fresh produce; quality was good & prices reasonable. I rather have small /quality over alot and not fresh vegetables. I saw sweet desserts but I have not tried. I bought a durable griddle and spice container which I use alot. Again, good price. read more

Amazing selection of snacks and and food and the customers service is even better will be coming back

Good choice and a very wide variety of groceries Balian's they have some special stuff for Diwali I think the best choice in the Marin county area read more

Wide variety of products. Criminally overpriced. I'd go elsewhere, unless you're in a pinch and just need one or two items.

Great Indian Grocery Store In VALLEJO Very nice people own the store and they have a huge selection of Indian spices, dry goods and canned goods. I love Indian food and this is the only place in VALLEJO that I have found to get Masala Tea, mango lassi, naan and ghee. read more

After visiting this delightful shop I told my husband that Vallejo had just moved up a whole notch in my heart. Which is good, because lately it's been really low. But Bazaar has all the yummy spicy goodness I need lately in my kitchen. It really picked up my spirits to see the enormous variety of dried legumes and spices, the blocks of paneer in the cooler and the cans of Egyptian ful medames of all things can you imagine omg!! I was thrilled. I went to buy some garam masala and of course they had at least a half dozen to choose from. They cater well to vegan needs and to omnivores like me as well. Great prices, friendly clerk, what more could you ask for I tell you?? Just go. read more

This is how you come in and change a business for the better, I admire the additions and friendly service Dame provides. He runs his business admirably and knows the ins and out of everything the bazaar sells. It is always enjoyable going to this grocery store for my cooking needs, or for sweets/misc items. The selection has improved tremendously and they are very fair with pricing. Definitely recommend to all! read more

I am really impressed with this store. The store itself is not really huge, but it has all of the essentials. The store has almost every spice and powder, seeds and nuts required for your cooking. The whole isle is nothing but powders, seeds, and other spices. Some examples include red kasmiri powder, black pepper powder, garam masala powder, corriander powder, jeera seeds, green cardamom, black cardamon, Hing powder, urad daal, biryani powders. Prices vary from $2.50-7.00 depending on size of bag. There is another isle of different oils, ghee, and other cooking supplies. The back is where all of the basmati rice, corn flour, maydar powder, naan mixes. There is also another isle with different spice paste like chilli paste, ginger and garlic paste and such. There is a frozen section which has all kinds of things like frozen microwaveable foods including palak paneer, curries, frozen chapati, frozen naan, frozen ice creams. The refrigerator section has changed curds, milks, paneers and other cheese. They sell house aromas, and other things for the home. Not too many fresh vegatable produce. Did not find curry leafs. Also did not notice any fresh meats. No fishes. Plenty of parking in front. read more

Found this South Asian grocery store. Amazing inventory with lots of goods related to the south pacific. Folks in Vallejo , Fairfield will find this store very convenient. read more

This is one of best places I've shopped at. The service is really good. Staff is friendly. Groceries are good. They even procured the specific type of rice we asked for. read more

This is where I go in Vallejo to get all my Indian spices that I need to get instead of driving all around. Damon Carrie's everything you need to create the most amazing Indian dishes and more! And if he doesn't have it talk to him because he will get it for you. I am a business owner and I I am so happy to know that in a hop skip I can just jump over there and grab what I need and not worry to carry on my day. Excellent customer service and clean store. read more

I went to this store for the first time yesterday in search of specific items for Vegan cooking. Am a beginning Vegan cook and in the process of trying many new recipes. I found the items on my list with the help of the staff. The store was clean and organized. I don't care about the past management or the reviews based on that. I am grateful to have the 'current' store where I can shop for specialty foods instead of ordering them from Amazon. I like supporting local stores. I smiled at the cashier upon entering the store and asked for help. She and the Manger directed me to the correct locations. I bought black salt (gives an egg-like favor to Vegan Mayo), a date candy, an quick-cooking organic dal (lentil), pearl millet, organic dried Garbonzon beans, curry powder, fresh daikon (Japanese radish) & hot peppers, and cilantro. Saw several other items for my next shopping trip. read more

Not only a lot of good grocery items to choose from but their take-away is soooo good - the prices of which are totally reasonable. I had the chicken tikka masala - my go-to - and it's the best take-away version I've had. My husband got a plate of 3 vegetarian items and he liked them all. The rice is good, as is the naan. Anything they didn't have at the ready the quickly cooked for us. Super friendly service too. Definitely going back to try more items and to get more of the tikka, naan, etc. I highly recommend this place! I don't understand what sort of people are giving this business one star reviews for inane reasons other than to just be rude. Bazaar should request Yelp pull those reviews as they were obviously made for no other purpose than to slander a small business. read more

WORST customer service experience over the phone--the person I called gave me his name as "Dhamen" and he said he was the manager. He answered the phone "Hey hold on" in a very rushed voice. When he did get back to me, I asked if I am able to place an order and then pick up and pay and he said "I'll give you the number to text but call back," "10 minutes ok?" "Ok." I call back and I simply ask who am I texting my number to and he yelled "why do you need to know? Just text the number and get your order." Now he doesn't have to be like that...immediately I ask for the manager to make sure this is a legit employee and he says, "I am the manager." "Well good luck getting any business with that kind of customer service." Hung up. My speculation is that "Dhamen" is not the manager, but maybe the son or nephew because I have been to that store several times pre-shelter in place and have never heard his voice from the guys that work there. If that is the case, DO NOT PUT DHAMEN on the phones for the sake of your business!! *Had to post one star or else my review does not get posted, but it would be zero* read more

I've been going to Bazaar for years and I've been so glad there's a place for Indian foods and spices. I was a regular during the previous owners and now with the new. I honestly don't understand the 1 star ratings related to rudeness, I never had an unpleasant experience in the past 10 years or and I'm not Indian/Pakistani. I do wish they had more meats (and what they had tends to be a bit pricey) but this isn't a butchers where you can pick up a whole halal chicken or items like that. Still have to go to the Eastbay for that but they do have frozen goat and lamb. I come here for spices, pastes, dry beans (ie lentils), frozen parathas,etc). read more

Great service and diverse items. The store is clean and very well stocked. Prices are fair and cheaper than the other local stores.

New to Vallejo was looking for a good place to get all my Indian/middle eastern spices as I love to cook and use a lot of spices . Also I look for authentic Tahini sauce . I don't understand why this place is getting bad reviews . I LOVE , Love , love this place !!! Great variety of spices , clean store , reasonable prices . As far as the owner he was nice and polite to me. Maybe with a bit more understanding and compassion towards the owner you will find he is a very nice guy . His culture is different, he grew up in different times ....... no need to expect service like your coming to the Ritz or The Four Seasons. Be thankful to have a store that has stuff you can not find anywhere else. The man works hard , he is on his feet long hours , has a lot to deal with . Show compassion and courtesy too . Bag up your own stuff , what's the big deal . Like seriously give the man a break. You get what you give . Oh and to those complaining about expired products , first off nothing I bought was expired. And if you think there may be expired products , guess what ? Check the dates BEFORE you go to check out. Even in regular stores and supermarkets I always check expiration dates . It takes a few seconds . Like seriously!! read more

Absolutely wonderful people Damon give us the best customer service always super nice and accommodates are needs I totally recommend this place for all you shopping ! Super friendly and nice! read more

Best collection of fresh bulk spices. Clean and orderly under new management. Very helpful suggestions for better brands and products you might be unsure of. We shop here regularly and have found many delicious uses for more exotic foodstuffs read more

"A Love Bazaar"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMJjfkwB_Io Vallejo's Bazaar has always been a tantalizing oasis at the crossroads of Highway 29 (Sonoma Boulevard)&Highway 37. It's situated at a tricky intersection. It is worth the drive&like CS Lewis' wardrobe, it's bigger on the inside than it seems from the outside. It's in a sketchy strip mall with a liquor store, a Mountain Mike's (a staple of sketchy strip malls?),a Popeye's, and a donut shop. The store itself is clean&well-stocked, with a great number of Hindu&Sikh religious goods. If you want to make your own kulfi (Indian ice cream), they have kits for it. They have mint chutney, mango lassi, rice and curry powder by the pound. They have rose petal ice cream, a sweet&luxurious treat. The service is friendly&personable, plus they point out deals. Pro-tip: Go on a weekday. It's easier to get onto northbound 29 on a weekday. Pro-tip #2: If you're coming from southbound 29, be mindful of finding Lewis Brown, make a right, then make another quick, sharp right. Be careful about the parking too. Somehow two enormous tour buses got themselves wedged into the lot by Popeye's. Generate good karma by driving mindfully with your car. read more

I have been going to this store and ignoring the absolute worst customer service at Bazaar for the past 15 years due to the convenience of having an Indian/Pakistani grocery store in Vallejo. If you want to be yelled at, please do go. If you want to buy expired products, please go. If you want to be cursed at, please go. read more

Clean store, friendly people, wonderful selection. A hidden gem.

This place is my go to spot!! They have the best organic spices. The place feels super clean and well kept I appreciate that especially now with covid. I been here few times, always felt welcome they answer all my questions. Love that they have all kinds of products from all over the world also a great meat selection. Thanks Bazaar for being a multicultural store much love! read more

Been going here for a while. Under new management and I am very impressed and happy for that. Old owner was unhelpful and sat and watched tv whereas the new owner always greets me with a smile and tells me things on sale which I might be interested in. read more

The new owners are amazing they're very kind and respectful and take the time to listen and direct you to the right area for the products. The store is clean and well stocked and organised. Keep up the great work.. and thank you read more

Really helpful staff, I heard them speak multiple languages so that was awesome!! Great family business. Nice selection in spices and fresh veggies. read more

We love this market, the staff are really friendly, they have introduced us to so many new products. We love the herbs, legumes, grains, sauces, desserts, Samosa's, sauces and more. We shop weekly at The Bazaar. Stop by when you are in Vallejo. read more

I have been here several times and had decent experiences. I like to buy nuts, spices, and toothpaste with natural anti bacterial Neem oil. Something our other grocer or drug stores don't seem to carry. My friendly experiences came after I stopped and said good morning to the security guard, wishing him a good day. Entering the store saying good day with a smile, I am asked to let them know if I need any help. I noticed the really low star rated posts are all from people who don't reside in Vallejo. So, in their defense, these ratings came from people unaware of the store location challenges that locals are. Locals treat the the store owners with respect on the way in. I have come away feeling that the man works a lot of hours and may need sleep, but he always appreciates my patronage. If I ask where something is, (no, he doesn't leap up like a teenager at Safeway), but he always points and tells me where to go and does not look away until I find it. My surmise for out of town visitors, they don't recognize the store is located in area known to have homeless encampments, drug dispensaries around the corner, and people panhandling at intersections. If my business were there, I would also prefer to keep my eyes on the front glass doors, looking towards passer bys, rather then focus on the friendly woman or man who is there to buy, (not steal). Watchful security for the paying customers is a good thing. As far as witnesses a customer being screamed at, I don't know what to say, wasn't there. However, my first hunch is that she may be known to the business community for less then stellar past transactions? If not, she could protest by walking out and not spending money as could you. Let all of vote on where we shop, based in our own experiences. Free enterprise will make the final determination if the store management if right for that particular location of our diverse community. Go back to Trader Joe's please, you will find the customer service experience you seek there. Yes, we consumers may not need to speak to others like shop keeps who chronically deal with theft, homeless peddlers running off their customers, or just the generally disenfranchised of the community. Not shaming homelessness or mental illness, just saying when they chronically hang out near intersection, parking lot, or approach customers outside business doors, it is proven to have a negative impact on paying customers using your store, who don't enjoy the hassle of telling people to stop washing their windows, no they don't have a bic lighter, or spare change for the bus. If theft is so bad around the corner that a major Grocery store chain like Raley's is pulling up stakes and leaving Vallejo, we can't blame the owners of small grocer from watching the front door rather then escorting shoppers up and down isles to find product. I always feel very good spending money at small family business'. Proud of families who are trying to make their small business American dream a reality. Competing with the grocery store Walmart and Smart and Final a block away is tough. Too bad the American's already living here, make it so hard for small family run business owners to get ahead by stealing, badgering potential customers, and the more privileged are worse, (not comprehending prejudice or the neighborhood challenges), writing holier then though commentary on Yelp. so our small, overworked, family run businesses can try to pay their lease payment without reading your negative commentary. I need them, to stay open so I can find homeopathic neem oil toothpaste, affordable dried fruits and nuts, and, "new to us." spices so my husband can guess the layers of flavors in the meals I cook. This adventure greatly pleases his Italian disdain for anything bland. read more

Been going here for some years and always found a good selection at very good process. The young man who helps me most time has always been polite, helpful and friendly. Great local resource. read more

I just feel this place deserves 5 stars. I have been going to Bazaar for the last 10 years but the experience I had with the new owner was just exceptional!! I called Daman, couple of days ago as I was out of indian groceries, with the virus going on and the shortage we are all experiencing. He said he was getting the shipment in and he would let me know as soon as he had the groceries I needed. I sent him a list, he had everything ready with 24 hours and also asked me if I needed the essentials like milk, butter etc and of course I would not say no. I would highly recommend Bazaar for all your Indian groceries. They are just fantastic. Forget about the bad reviews. Lets look at NOW and TODAY.... Well done Daman and the entire Bazaar team. Thanks for being there for our community and others in this hard times. One last thing, I live in Hercules but I cross the bridge to go to Bazaar just because I feel very special!! They will go out of their way to help you out. Much appreciated!! read more

The cleanest and most kind staff. Truly family ran. I can't speak on all stores but this is definitely the best in this county. Shopping elsewhere makes no sense now when it comes to Indian middle eastern and Pacific Islander goods. read more

Friendly. Well stocked with all kinds of fresh foods and spices. Very good experiences. Support local business!

Great East Indian and Muslim grocer. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Our family has been shopping here for many years. read more

It's awesome to be able to get all your Indian spices and groceries in town, and to top it up with great customer service is just amazing.

Good selections and great price on rice, beans, spices etc. I'll definitely be back and never pay $7 for a small jar of cumin at Safeway again read more
