INCREDIBLE!! Seriously if you're looking for authentic, cheap, just plain delicious food pls look no further!! That Jonathon B. Guy is a chump! Don't listen to his review. (Probably still salty because his parents named him Jonathon instead of John) read more

This is a mixed review. I have been a customer of Deering's market since a teenager, so well over 20 years I have frequented this establishment. I'm not sure if times have changed the attitude of recent staff, with covid essentially putting most people on edge and stressed out, but as of yesterday was the first time I was treated with less than impressive service. I've always been greeted with warm and friendly smiles, when a person wasn't required to wear a mask, obviously, and always a welcoming hello from the gentlemen that run the store. I noticed there was now a female employee. I walked in with my son, we both had masks on, my son even had gloves on, because that's what makes him feel safe. The place was a bit busy, so we didn't receive a greeting upon entering. No biggie. My son and I picked out some gum, and weaved through the aisles. We were on our way to a playground, on foot, so I had a rolled up kite visibly sticking out of my purse. I'm not sure if this put the female employee on edge, but everywhere we went, she was only a few feet away, staring at us. We picked out some drinks, and immediately after she walked over to where we got our drinks and opened the door, like she was doing inventory. Then we waited in line to check out. She refused to go to an open register and check us out, as we waited behind someone else that was paying. The reason I come to this conclusion is because while we were waiting in line, some young man walked through the door, went to the same area we picked out our drinks, then stood in line behind us. She immediately ushered that guy over to check him out, even though we were in line before him. She glared at me specifically the entire time I was in the store. Pretty unbelievable and a bit confusing, as I felt like I was being profiled and somehow discriminated against. Maybe it was just in my head, but sometimes intuition proves otherwise. I still love and respect the establishment, but that woman needs a serious attitude adjustment. I'm not sure if it was simply because I was a young female, or what the deal was, the kite I had in my purse, maybe unsettled her...doesn't matter. I did nothing wrong. I've never been stalked throughout the store like that before. I'll still be happy to give my service to the store, it was just rude behavior on her part that I never have experienced before there. read more

Giving an update to Mom's Kitchen at Deerings Market on Barlow. Had their Thali, which is a combination lunch of butter naan, 1 veg curry, 1 meat curry, 1 dal (lentil), rice and yogurt. The curries and dal are their choice. Their Indian food is outstanding anyway, but I had Dal Makhani, for the first time, and it was so flavorful. The spices were not overwhelming but so fragrant and robust. This is definitely the best Indian cuisine in TC. read more

I tried to give this place a chance to make things right before submitting a review. I have telephone records to prove it and months of waiting for return calls...and over 11 people to prove my claim. I had them process my deer. The options were limited and I still went forth. I asked for teriyaki and jalapeno cheese stick snack sticks, jalapeno cheddar summer sausage. What I got back was marginal jalapeno cheddar snack sticks, teriyaki that has almost no flavor (very bland and no teriyaki flavor) to the point I salvaged them and made pickled hot links out of them. A week or two later I got my jalapeno summer sausage back and lots of but it was only jalapeno and no cheddar and it taste like expensive bolognese. Several and I mean several people agreed to include the 5 people I was working with when I took my break from work to go grab this and brought it back to my work and excited to try, shared with my fellow co-workers. They all agreed with me. Nasty for summer sausage. So I called the owner who said his son mixed it and he would talk with him and call me back. He never did. I called again, awaiting correspondence. I love to support local businesses but not to get ripped off. I'm having to reprocess a lot of what I paid to get processed to alleviate my work. I have made pickled hot links out of the teriyaki and am trying to figure out what I am going to do with all this summer sausage....I spent so much money to have someone else do the work and I'm just having to do it again. Please reconsider. read more

The Indian food is complex and delicious! It was prepared quickly, for takeout, of course. I would go there again, except the cashier had his face mask pulled down so it only covered his throat read more

The Indian food at Mom's Kitchen inside Deerings is the best Indian food in Traverse City. I've ordered takeout and new items multiple times and everything has been DELICIOUS! High quality and very flavorful. You can't go wrong with the Dal Makhani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, curries or naan. read more

Went in looking to order a sandwich. But they had Indian food as a special. In speaking with the nice man at the counter I learned they are from northern India and I ordered the chicken curry. Served with rice the portion and price were good. Loved the flavor and will go back. read more

The owner (or the older Indian man), is very slick. Count your change! And his son? RUDE!! He literally talks on the phone in his native language while he's waiting on you. He doesn't even look at you. I gave this store another chance but "the son" was still rude. No eye contact. I'll be going out of my way to another store. read more

Fantastic Indian food! My family of 4 were very satisfied with Chicken Curry, Lamb Curry, Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potatoes with spices), Daal (spiced lentils), and Naan (flatbread). The owners were extremely friendly and offered to cook us other options (Biryani) by request with 24 hours notification. Lamb curry was particularly delicious, very rich and full flavored. The naan was very good, soft and not as oily as other restaurants. 5/5 for me! read more

If you're looking to buy vaping products stay away from this place at all costs. Hydes, a disposable vape, cost $8-9 at all other stores. Deerings charges $17.50. On top of this the person behind the counter did not scan them and instead just charged this high price. Also he asked for no ID. read more

Went in looking for Indian food. In northern Michigan this is hard to find. Got a chicken curry and a lamb curry to go. Excellent flavor for both. Good amount of spice. Nice portions. I wish they had samosas... they can make them for you on a special order. Great service too. The guy at the counter was really nice. read more
