    Samosa so good
    Julie N.

    We pass by this India Market everyday going to work and home. My daughter loves cooking and loves ethnic foods. She told me one day let's go check it out and we finally did. Its a super small market with so many options & seasoning. They also had samosas so of course we had to try it and it really hit the spot! We will definitely be back.

    India Market is a one stop shop for all your South Asian food needs. Located at the corner of Beretania and Isenberg, they have free dedicated parking right outside. Entrance is in the rear, but it's hard to miss from the front while driving by. Inside the entrance you'll find the frozen and refrigerated selections. Dry goods, cans, jars, etc. are throughout the store with bulk rice and other items at the far back. Snacks are around the cash register, with beauty products behind. This is not just Indian foods but groceries from all around that part of the world. You'll find sauces, curries, canned vegetables, jarred/pickled items, and snacks. Their chocolate selection ranges from India to New Zealand; so many different companies and types. Prices seem reasonable or on par with items at big grocery stores, but the brands and selection here are much more extensive. One highlight - I went in to buy homemade samosas one day but she had completely sold out. I was told most days shortly after lunch they are gone for the day, but calling in to preorder is welcome. Another week I did that, calling in the morning and choosing a pickup time. This is great option for events as they're easy to eat, come with sauce, and only cost $1.50/each. They are some of the best I've had with flaky outsides and soft insides of potato/pea with curry. Whether you're here for just samosas or to buy groceries to cook a meal at home, I recommend stopping in!

    This place is located at the top corner of Moiliili Park on Beretania and Isenberg. I just noticed it when I was going to McCully Bike. Apparently they have been in business for 20 years but used to be located down the block on King St. They do have a small parking lot but there also is parking along the park. They have all kinds of Indian groceries and the prices are pretty reasonable, especially when you consider you are in Hawaii. Generally it is hard to find good Indian food in Hawaii so it helps to have a place like this in a convenient location. Check them out.

    I have mixed feelings about this place considering the last couple visits I had. The first two times I was able to try their fresh samosas and even called ahead to make sure I could order some the second visit. The older lady who owns the place was always nice to me. The samosas are good, but they give a side of sweet chili which is not traditional. Would be nice to come with some chutney instead. However, the last few times I visited, a younger female (maybe daughter?) was working and was quite unkind/rude to me. I tried calling ahead (there is a sign that says to call ahead to order samosas) and she just kept telling me no we can't do that and would abruptly hang up the phone. This happened 4 times in a row and unfortunately probably won't be returning again. A shame, since I enjoyed getting samosas and shopping here. Other cons: -Kind of overwhelming considering how much stuff they have in here. -overpriced for some items -Aisles are disorganized and might take you some time to find things. Might be better to ask them for what you need. -extra charge for credit card usage -area is shady and wouldn't leave car there too long while you're shopping -Check expiration dates since some things are expiring sooner than you think!

    Samosas and sweet chili sauce! I have another bad with more!

    It's better to preorder the day before if you want a good amount of Samosas. Once I was lucky and another was walking out without!

    Vast assortment of rice!

    Be prepared to have your senses hit when you walk into this store! Tall shelves filled with wondrous spices, canned fruits and vegetables, condiments, snacks and candies forces you to crane your neck upwards as you move slowly from each 3-foot section to the next. The product assortment includes a nice cross-section of Indian and Nepalese food items. Make a deliberate stop at the rice section - who knew of all the strains available to choose from?! This was a real find in Honolulu. Coming from the Bay Area where good Indian food and markets are rather plentiful, the challenge was ON to find a market here in Hawaii that sells spices needed to prepare dishes at home. Found it! Love it! Coming back!

    I always like to check out the India Market to see what they have. They have unique spices that you may not find in the regular grocery stores and it's fairly reasonable priced. I see many customers buy the white or wheat naan bread in the freezer. I usually like to buy the frozen parantha bread which is buttery when pan fried until it's puffed and golden brown. It has shortening inside so you do not have to add any oil in the pan for frying.. As frozen, it's thin and is separated by a plastic wrap so it's easy to separate them when frozen. It's best to to take it out straight out the freezer to the frying pan. Do not let it defrost. It's such a treat to have and it's delicious even if it's plain! I got my mom and friends hooked on it! They always have hot fried samosa on hand that you can buy on the go for $1.50 ea. It's a vegetarian samosa w/ potatoes and other ingredients. I bought them many times and it's a delicious snack! You can always find products from India such as beauty products, soaps, facial products, vitamins, dvds, candies, and snacks. There are also food products and prepared package mix to help make some of the Indian dishes. They even have chutney in the bottles. One of friend drinks a lot of tea daily but particularly the green tea! He likes the gun smoked green tea from here. Just to know that most of the tea are loose tea leaves in a box or a tin can. The India Market is on the first floor of a two story building on the corner of Isenburg and Beretania St across from the Moilili Neighborhood Park. They have a small parking lot which is nice but it can be filled at times. It's a better location from where they were which is now I believed to be Frost City. I think it'll be neat if you check out this India Market. You'll be surprised to find something that may interest you. Thanks for reading =)

    Thanks to my co-worker, I discovered India Market! They carry a large selection of Indian food - the store is packed with products! It's super cozy inside and you can spend quite a bit of time looking through their large selection of spices and frozen foods if you're unfamiliar with the cuisine (like myself). You can find specialty spices and blends that may be difficult to find in other grocery stores. The items that I purchased were priced lower than online stores and I enjoyed browsing because I discovered that they carried pre-mixed spices for specific dishes - how convenient! The free parking lot and store entrance are off Isenberg Street but be aware that parking can be tight. There's also street parking as an option. I'm so excited to try my hand at a butter chicken recipe with basmati rice and naan. I'll definitely return to India Market to try their ready-made samosas!

    Full stocked freezers with yummy goodies

    I am so thrilled to have found this place! I'm from California, but I've never been to a Mediterranean/ Southeast Asian type of specialty food store. As soon as we stepped in, I was blown away! There is so much variety even among similar products. So you can keep coming back to try different brands while you restock your favorites. The store was well stocked and made excellent use of the space they had, while also being very tidy. Make sure to take your time surveying these aisles, they're full of all sorts of interesting and tasty looking items. They also sell hot samosas at the counter! While we were there a guest came in just to purchase these. We were there on a Saturday around 2:30 and there were still a few left. There's a dedicated parking lot behind the store with a few small spaces, but we didn't have to compete with many cars at that time. We can't wait to come back! :)

    Do they carry idli and dosa batter?

    Dosa is quintessential in my book as part of Indian cooking, So I don't see how they wouldn't. I'm sure there is idli batter as well. They have a lot there and then some.

    Do they carry sandalwood powder?

    I honestly don't know. However if anywhere would it would be here. I'd say go check the place out and ask if they could get the item . Good luck.

I just love browsing around Kailua on foot as you see more like exactly how I found Kailua Seasoning Company after shopping around a small lot right across the street was the Lokahi Market held every Sunday that I love visiting whenever I have the chance. Just look for the Tiffany blue painted storefront as the signage can be a bit demure but gosh I was not prepared to see the selection of seasonings this cute shop has to offer to the right of the entrance actually got my attention as they had selection of teas including a bottle of Maple Syrup with Sparkles really got thinking of my mocktails lol! The shop staff is great and very informative as I was looking intensely at the teas telling me about the shop next door La Bodega which serves various drinks though are open Tuesday to Friday only so I will be back on another day. She continue to describe the various seasonings and which one are the favorites but it was a bag of "Island Stir Fry" that what I really liked with ingredients like ginger, garlic, bell pepper, onion, sesame seeds, parsley and Chile pepper these common items together are wonderful in multiple dishes, soups and fried rice. Bougie up your cooking easily with these flavors found in Kailua to support local and small biz as well. Thank you!

    Ok so, reason why I rated this place a 5 is because I was able to learn their main reason for…read morecreating such a business. It was to eliminate the waste of unused overly ripened fruits and veggies. They make these from fresh produce and add in a bit of their own herbs to kick it up. NOT ONLY is it HEALTHY, but innovative as to keeping things from being tossed into the lands and recreating a better use for them. They also make wine as well. This business shares the thought of reduce, reuse & recycle to a whole different level. Not only do they re-use the fruits & veggies that are going bad, but they also extract herbs into the mix they create. It's really interesting on how they e made a moctail out of it! Surprisingly, I really enjoyed its deliciousness and tanginess. Me personally I LOVE SWEET & SOUR things, like pickle mango & li-hing mui. So this is right up my alley! Anywho, they also have different items they sell aside of vinegar & spices & wine. I think there was some honey extract ginger. Some rolling pins. Not your normal everyday average type. But it truly unique and one of a kind. It's made from either mango or koa wood. Or BOTH! I didn't get a chance to take the pins up close but I think you can see it in one of my photos. Perfect AUTHENTIC HAWAII MADE GIFTS to paaa out to family & friends. Especially for those visitors who want Made in Hawaii Products. Ok. I thinks that's about it.

After enjoying brunch at the fabulous Mexican restaurant next door, we headed to Hawaiian Vintage. We were greeted by the owner as she began to share with us about what they do, when they started their business, where the ingredients come from, why they get their ingredients locally and how they turn fruit into wine into shrubs and finally, into vinegar. She shared with us the positive health benefits while walking behind the counter as she pulled out and placed a bottle of each flavor of shrub on the counter and she began to pour the first sample for my sister and me. What a fun experience! Every single shrub I could sample was delicious. I love the fruitiness and the smell of the different herbs. And because of it, I didn't really notice or mind the vinegar. We talked about the many ways of using the shrubs as marinades, salad dressings, with fish, meats, teas, morning shot, mocktails and cocktails, and even utilizing different flowers, fruits and herbs. And so, we proceeded to purchase a few bottle samples. For a 3 pack sample of 4 oz bottles is $36. However, for the month of September 2024, you get an additional 4 oz bottle for free. Highly recommend supporting this local company and I hope it will become one of the many long time establishments that you can only find in Wahiawa.

The lady behind the glass divider did not look up, no greeting at all. I quickly pulled a few packets of orig poke mix from what seemed like display racks, when I realized there's no cash register and no prices listed anywhere. So I stuck my head into her office and asked "these are for sale right?" She held her finger up without making eye contact and said "just a minute" because apparently what she was working on was much more important than catering to a peasant off the street taking up air. Literally a minute or two of awkward silence passed. Long enough for me to look around and notice this place doubled as some kind of unit rental business with keys hanging off a pegboard. Clearly that business took priority over my needing a few poke mix packets to bring to my brother in California. When she finally acknowledged my presence she replied "yes but you have to buy a minimum of $45." Excuse me? What? When I asked how much each one cost ($7.95) I had to figure out quickly whether I needed to buy 4, 5, or just bolt out of there with no ogo for my brother because I clearly was getting the message that customers aren't actually welcome there. I bit the bullet though, grabbed 4 packs of original poke mix and one other kind and went to pay. Turns out the other mix was $27 or something more than I'd spend on pounds of fresh ahi so that one went back on the rack. This wasted another minute of Important Lady's time. So after another awkwatd waiting moment, I handed her my credit card which she ran in silence, wiished her a happy holiday, and left that shop of unhappiness never to return again. Someone in her life, please give her the hug she needs. The poke mix is ono though!
