Great place! I went in to buy ingredients to make a dish and the owner gave me his family recipe (which was delicious!). And told me to call if I had any questions when I was cooking it! Why can't customer service be like this everywhere?! read more

I've been going to this store for many years. The selection is wonderful and most importantly the service and the help are amazing. On my most recent trip, I let Raj know I was making Saag Paneer and he took time to write out his very own recipe for me, and walk me through each step. He also explained differences I may see in other recipes, and helped me find everything we needed. We made it last night and it was amazing! I cannot wait to eat the leftovers. read more

There is serious culture shock going on in this store and I can't imagine it will survive in Boulder. It does not look, smell, or feel clean. That often works in India, but not here. Most irritatingly, the prices of many things are not marked. You have to ask the proprietor, who quickly sizes you up, imagines what you might be willing to pay for it, and names the price. Didn't work for me. Try India Bazaar, just down the street, or Krisha Groceries in Lafayette, which is a bit of a drive out S Boulder Road but well worth the visit. read more

I've been out of the big city for over a year so I must admit that I was just pretty excited to find a store that specialized in something versus all of the huge, albeit very nice, grocery stores here. I miss neighbourhood living and this place, with the incredible friendliness of the owner and the dedication to Indian food only, made me feel happy. I was here mainly for the samosas and I really enjoyed these, but I also got some frozen naan and the ingredients to make a vindaloo curry. The owner was incredibly helpful and wanted to seriously give me a cooking class right then and there, which would have been amazing had I had the time! I haven't compared prices with the Asian Market that everyone keeps mentioning but for me things seemed fairly priced and honestly, these stars are based on the incredible service! read more

Raj is a wealth of knowledge and will willingly share it with you, and share, and share, and share. As a post menopausal woman I was told that I would decline rapidly in health if I did not take the herbs he recommended. He offered me homemade samosas which were in a freezer container. And to top it off, the cream he said would not stain my skin, turned me bright yellow! (I'm white, maybe it doesn't turn brown skin a color, but it sure did mine). When I took it back to get my money back, he said he could not refund me since it had been opened. I paid $15.00 for the item, and looked it up online, and can get it for 8.00 shipping included! He sells a 20 lb bag of aged basmati for 35.00 and I found it for 22.00 at another local indian store. Raj is certainly knowledgable and perhaps he won't push your buttons, but I found him very abrasive and pushy. I will not be going back. read more

Shopping at India's Grocery has changed the way we eat. Raj's selection of lentils and spices is incomparable, but even more valuable is his knowledge and advice. We cook better, we feel better, and we can't give enough stars to emphasize this. Some of our family's favorites (by no means a complete list!): ghee, organic mixed lentils, organic spices, samosas, learning more from Raj every visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

Wow - This store has everything we could possibly need! The owner helps you and even gives you recipes! We have now made excellent curries and delicious chai tea. Nicest man around! We are customers for life. read more

Lets not delve into the cleanliness of the store. As others have pointed out, it leaves a lot to be desired. My experience here has been horrible. I have been cheated by the owner in terms of pricing of goods (have paid more that double in some cases!) two times in a row. Even though I was aware of the prices of indian foods/spices, I still bought from him because we were new to Boulder. I even questioned the owner about his high prices. He made up a story how he barely makes any profit in the items he sells. I bought his story and felt sorry for him. Then I stumbled upon "My India's" grocery store in Broomfield, CO where I found out that prices were, in some case, less that half of what i paid. Case in point: Clarified butter $12 at India's and at My India's it was $6! Cutting my grocery bills in half: good Avoiding a person with no moral compunctions: priceless! It is the owners dishonesty more that the high prices that amazed me each time I went there. Even if you do buy from him, do not trust him with anything he says. read more

Anyone who has anything less than kind to say about this place is an ethnocentric weiner or has not tried the samosas. Go in and order a hot samosa, eat it in the Boulder Gas parking lot and your life will never be the same. Add to the mix an innovative and karma-savvy proprietor and fresh-baked snacks that put Whole-Foods bulk to shame...this place is a gem. For those who wander the globe in search of that flavor, this place is a welcome respite. Otherwise, Safeway is around the corner, I hear the fried chicken is good. read more

I tried buying Halal meat here only to find that somehow it is overpriced. I can't say with certainty if they freeze it and then weigh it and price it but when I get the meat home it is not the weight that is promised. It is also chopped so you get mostly bone and fat. Chicken is decent and it is the only place in Boulder I can find to buy ground beef but that was a disappointment as it was mostly fat. They have many items you can just buy for much cheaper at any local grocery store. I wish the best for them but I won't shop here anymore. I gave them a few chances and I shop at the other halal market, better meat and prices. read more

Yes, this store used to be poorly organized but that's no longer the case. In fact, I'd argue that this store is now one of the most organized stores anywhere. But organization is not the point. Raj is extremely educated clinician (I believe he has his MD in India and a masters or PhD in the US in dietary medicine) who can help you transform the diet. But unlike most Ayurvedic practitioners, he will do it for free since it's his passion. Not only does the store have everything you need (including Ghee made with Yoghurt which I can't find anywhere else) but you can order delicious food from Raj a day ahead of time. This is my favorite store (of any kind) in Boulder and perhaps the world because of the selection but more importantly because of Raj. He has transformed my diet and helped me transform my health. Don't forget the home made Chai on Saturday. I miss it (I live in New Zealand now). read more

I love India Grocery. They have wonderful produce and exotic and interesting products. Their basmati rice is the best and I won't buy it anywhere else. They have fresh spices as well including delicious turmeric. Along with perfumed soaps they sell other gifts. Raj the owner and his wife, are delightful and bend over backwards to help you find what you need. Plus they are full of practical and helpful advice for making indian food. Try out their fresh samosas, very inexpensive and warmed while you wait, topped with a delicious cilantro sauce. The best. read more

This store is disgusting!! As Singh below mentions - suggested retail prices have boldly been written over with magic marker. Things that were $1.99 are being sold for $4.99!!! I would rather buy my indian groceries online and pay the shipping price - than deal with this cheat. It is people like this owner who give us Indians a bad name. Disgusting, Disgusting store!!! Just found a great/clean and organized Indian Store - Krishna's Grocery - Layfette read more

The owner was overly helpful in a rather uncomfortable way. He reccomended a lot of things, sometimes even offering a recipie for something - which i really like- but he didn't really let us get a word in, and gave off a heavy "good salesman" vibe, which just wasn't too enjoyable. His tour of the small shop ( we were the only customers) was so in-your face we didn't really get a chance to casually browse and look at things, and we were eager to leave once choosing an item. What bothered me the most though was that nothing had a price on it. You had to ask him what it was, and he'd tell you. I feel that his prices probably fluctuate depending on how obviously familiar you are with Indian food. I don't think i'll go there again. If you are familiar with Indian cooking, and want to get advice on which products to buy, this is probably a great place, but expect to be paying out the nose. read more

Love this store! I've been to several in Boulder and this is by far the best. We only recently got into cooking our own Indian food and the owner has been incredibly helpful, even going so far as to write down step-by-step instructions for some of our favorite dishes. I'm not quite sure what some of the reviewers are talking about but, knowing Yelp, I'm guessing it might be competitors posting these reviews. Really looking forward to trying some more advanced dishes! read more

Stay away. Better yet, run to Asian Seafood Market. You'll save 50% on the same item. Went yesterday on a whim to get some extra ingredients for a curry and ended up getting some naan. The frozen naan was marked $0.99 and I ended up paying $3.50. Hmm. When I got home and opened it I saw a mold spot the size of a quarter on one piece meaning that this naan had been sitting unfrozen for a long time before being thrown back into the freezer. Gross! The owner is a chef from Bombay and is really nice, even offering snacks, but the ridiculous prices and old merchandise will leave you high and dry. read more

I was a little aprehensive going into this store to get some Henna at first. It isn't super organized. It's a very modest little store. The owner was extremely helpful and talkative. He was really nice and made me feel comfortable. I will overlook certain things if I get amazing help and service. This is definitely the case here. I was impressed, but I'm not about appearance. I like to give things a chance. I'll take kindness over Whole Foods overprices glamour any day. read more

If you don't know what you're looking for, the employees will be sure to help. And if you're not sure why you need it, they'll assure/sell you on something. Moreover, if ingredients don't get your mouth salivating you're sure to be given India's Grocery "snacks." Every weekend I stop in for a samosa--they are unbelievably good. I understand this is a grocer, and it may not be the best grocer, but the food is fantastic and the staff is extremely helpful. read more

As any good yelper does I spent half an hour poring through all the previous reviews of India's Grocery. Most of the recent reviews I completely agreed with but a lot of the older one's are completely incorrect and misleading. You can expect to find just about anything you want here (as long as it is Indian). The majority of the food is North Indian and in a very orderly fashion which makes it easy to find what you need quickly and efficiently. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. He greets you at the door, asks if you need any help, and then leaves you alone if you say no unlike many other store owners who will keep trying to get you to buy stuff. I highly recommend this store for all of you Indian food needs. read more

I went there yesterday accidentally. I was there to go to the Asian Seafood Market which was disappointing and I saw this Indian Market so I walked in. It's nothing to look at but I'll be back there again soon. The owner was a great salesman who convinced me to try a few seasoning packets that were made from all natural products. I've tried one of them and it was delicious! I added water and chicken. It was so easy and good. Ialso bought something that was pre made and reminded me of a potato knish. He said he made it himself and put a few dressings on top of it. I liked it! I don't know much about Indian food but I'm anxious to learn more now. read more

Since finding India's Grocery, our lives have changed for a healthy better. Raj is very knowledgeable as well as helpful. Not only does he write down recipes for us, he also helps to fulfill our adventures into healthy and organic cooking. He is passionate about health and the products he sells. There are delicious little snacks, fresh curry leaves, and even organic ingredients to be bought. We drive from Denver to shop here. read more

Raj is the man who works there 99% of the time & he is very helpful in teaching me new dishes. He is a chef, a nutritionist and a vegetarian so his suggestions are quite useful to me. The mangos there are so fresh & compare to the ones I ate when I lived in the caribbean & ate those the day they were picked. Samosas are made daily & are delicious. I appreciate the great snack selection, the service & the variety. If you haven't stopped by lately, and it looks like many of the other reviews are a bit dated, then give it a try. I think you'll like it. read more

I find all the negative reviews a bit unfair. Yes, the organization is lacking, but the guy at the front is insanely nice. He will find anything for you with a huge smile. I went in looking for ghee (which I found) and was introduced to a number of delicious finds! The owner is also a chef, so he can help you with any cooking questions you might have as well. Bottom line: it's not whole foods. If your looking for a corporate store with westernized food, this is not your place. read more

I was really looking forward to going to this place because I love Indian food. The place was unclean, disorganized, and looked like some of the food was outdated. The worst part was most of the items have no prices on them. It seemed like the price depends on what he thinks you will pay ... very manipulative. The whole experience was very unpleasant. I will not be back. read more

Yes, this place is organized in a way that is less than aesthetically pleasing, but the owner, Raj, is knowledgable and more than happy to help you find whatever you might be looking for. Prices are reasonable for a small store and he stocks items you won't be able to find anywhere else. If you ask, he will be happy to share his knowledge not only of cooking, but also of Ayurveda. Lovely samosa and homemade snacks. Very healthy. Surprising and pleasant experience every time I go in there. read more

The owner is very helpful and talkative! His samosas are amazing. I was very happy with the selection, but yes, things are a bit difficult to find. I also spent more money than I was meaning to, and my bf was a little suspicious of the lack of prices but overall, I am happy with the experience. If the Vietnamese place across the parking lot really is that much cheaper, I may try there first next time. Except when it comes to samosas. read more

Stumbled onto this store while getting my Pho ingredients across the parking lot. HOW did I miss this store for so many years? Having recently discovered Dukka (an Egyptian spice blend), when I spied the India's Grocery sign, I pulled right in. Raj was the most welcoming proprietor I've encountered in a long time. We struck up a conversation immediately and when I explained that I'd just been blown away with cooking a spicey Egyptian dish, he asked my palate and we were off and running, learning about Indian fare. I came away with recipes, advice, and the most beautiful assortment of fresh produce, snacks, spice mixtures, and dals--PLUS the excitement of trying a new cuisine. Everything I tried came out perfectly following his recipes. (well, I learned not to put pomegranate powder into an over-heated ghee! it explodes into a most beautiful fire plume!) We've made Indian food for the past week and I just visited again today and came away armed with MORE recipes and new produce to try. Raj's basmati rice is to die for...when my honey and I bit into the first forkful, we both exclaimed "It's like eating clouds!" "This is spectacular!" What a wonderful representative for an exquisite healthful cuisine. It was time for our household to change up the meals; no more if it's tostados, it must be Tuesday. read more

YOU WILL LOVE IT! If you go there for the samosas, 3 is the magic number. I ate 2 and came back for one more. I am not from boulder but when I come back this will be the first stop. read more

I feel completely and totally ripped off. I ordered 5 pounds of Briyani (the minimum) and they were nice enough to accommodate me but when I picked it up I thought it did not look like 5 pounds even though I paid for the 5 pounds. I went home and weighed it and it was 3.5 pounds. When I called they said they would make more, but it felt very dishonest to me. If they are charging me for 5 pounds they should make sure they gave me 5 pounds. I basically paid $75 for 3 smallish bowls of Biryani pIs 15 simosas, ugh! I will find another indian market, just don't feel good supporting them anymore. read more

I love this store and the man who runs it. He is a wealth of incredibly valuable information and is more than willing to take time and share his knowledge and gifts and his passion for making healing foods. The store recently went through a major renovation and upgrade; I was there to witness the "before" and "after" of it, and it has changed significantly. Raj has the best ghee and homemade samosas on the planet and he has home cooked Ayurvedic foods ready to take home or he'll warm it up for you. Because of suggestions from Raj, I am on my way to recovering my energy after a long spell of way too much stress all while eating amazing Ayurvedic foods -- kitcheree and dal -- that Raj taught me how to cook - and made it easy, too, by picking out the exact ingredients that I will need. If his things are more expensive, which I didn't find them to be, they are very high quality. Personally, I'm willing to pay more if I have to for good ingredients, and the food that I will cook is so much cheaper than going out for it or some of the other kinds of foods that I could make. I recommend this store highly. Coming recently from Chicago where there is a mile long string of Indian and Pakistani grocery stores, I think this says a lot. Not only is there a huge and wonderful selection of ingredients, Raj will take time to explain why each is needed down to the rice - he has a premium rice available that is aged and fermented and easier to digest and absorb the greater amount of vitamins and minerals than other kinds of rice. It's the only rice I've found lately that actually is easy to digest and is delicious. Thank you so much, Raj, for being in Boulder and for giving me so much valuable information about eating, cooking and more. You're worth the 4 hour drive to get to -- and thank you, too, for offering to ship whatever I might need! read more

LOVE the guy running the place...he carries the joy and beauty of India in him :) The place is wanting, and maybe is pricey, but it is right down the street and I am there for things related to cleanses and health and he has everything for that, so I'm good. read more

I was there twice, I bought 20 lbs rice bag from there twice, later I found the same rice in india bazaar half the price! There is no price tag on the items in the store. I am not from India, maybe I was robbed because of that. I am very disappointed. Now I buy everything from India Bazar. read more

This place is a pig stye. I felt nauseous after coming out of there today. The whole place is a complete mess with items strewn everywhere, the floor is disgusting, and trash is piled on the floor in the back. The only items I trusted were in the freezer or sealed packets. No prices are marked so the owner could charge whatever he liked, and sure enough a few very, very small items came to $18. I find the guy to be pushy, not helpful. He is most excited about his snacks and samosas, but given the unhygienic conditions of the store, I would not trust his kitchen. This place is a disgrace to Boulder, to small businesses, to that strip mall, and to Indian grocers everywhere. Steer clear. read more

The owner/manager, Rajesh, carries high quality products at reasonable prices. He is friendly and knowledgeable about the products he carries. He seems to care about his customers needs. In addition to Indian herbs and spices, I have also enjoyed the personal care products he carries: neem soap (without artificial dyes) and neem toothpaste. Highly recommend. read more

Raj was awesome! He taught me a lot about Indian cooking and let me in on some secrets to help perfect my saag recipe!!

As a health conscious person and someone interested in Ayurvedic medicine, I appreciated the owners passion and enthusiasm for Ayurvedic herbal remedies and Indian food as medicine. I never felt the sense that i was " trapped" in conversation with him. In fact I truly enjoyed meeting someone with Ayurvedic knowledge that I could weigh against what I have read and learned... And yes, as a person running a business he will try to sell his products but I didn't feel pressured to buy anything. I purchased the Kichari which is a mix of moong dall, basmati rice and spices ( completely organic and non GMO) upon his strong recommendation as being an extremely healthy dosha balancing food to eat every day... I have yet to make it but am looking forward to it, as I later read up on it myself and learned it's the Indian form of a detox food. Very cleansing and easy on digestion. I will definitely return to this grocery. read more

very expensive compared to other grocery store in town !!! The dude just wants to sell everything and there is no price tag in any stuff.
