Come here for it to go lunch or eat their little tables out front.

You'll find anything better anywhere near here. Highly recommended.

They have a huge variety from many nice jewelry pieces, crockery, baked goods, food & dairy products, health items, frozen foods, fresh hot prepared items and a deli counter! The items are unique and some you won't find at the other European stores! Service is friendly and welcoming. Prices are comparable to others. They had a fresh baked salmon Wellington that looked really delicious! I would have purchased it but we weren't going directly home. A very clean, neat and organized store.

The biggest difference between Indian Express and Patel Bros is the size. Indian express is smaller and has less items but still has all the essentials. It's a good place to shop when you just need to pick up a few items. We've been there twice since their grand opening, and the employees are friendly, and items are still well-stocked. There is a distinct smell when you enter the market, but eventually you will get used to it. I am not sure I will stop going to Patel Bros, but I like the fact I have a market closer for any last-minute items I forgotten. Lastly, they do not have prepared hot foods (e.g. puffs, jabeli, rotis, etc.) like Patel Brothers and IndiGo.

Park to Shop is my go-to Asian grocery store. They have a food court inside, live and frozen…read moreseafood, a bakery section, and even kitchen supplies, in addition to fresh produce and packaged goods. Here are some of things that are usually on the shopping list: * dried rice noodles (for pho and noodle soups) * sauces or seasonings (hot pot broth packets, xo sauce, chicken bouillon, pho soup powder, bun bo hue soup powder, pho spices, chinese cooking wine, dashi, fried garlic, fried onion, etc.) * produce (bok choy, pea shoots) * tofu * baked goods (bbq pork buns, hot dog buns) * frozen items (dumplings, udon) I re-stock on items that I wouldn't be able to easily access to the grocery stores closer to me. It's definitely an out-of-the-way grocery trip for me, but the Park to Shop Aurora location is much closer than say, driving the Chinatown for Asian groceries. I am glad I can get what I need here, the prices are average/accessible, and there are so many options to eat Pacifica Square so it's fun to make a little trip out of it. My order usually is 1) eat something delicious in the food court or right around Pacifica Square, then 2) walk off the food by grocery shopping. Be sure to peruse the sauce aisle! That's my favorite.

Another time I got a box of cake that is imported and pricy, and after I got home found out that it had a broken seal, and several pieces of the cakes are missing. Park to Shop, you can't expect the customer to always count on checking the seals of your product and there's no way for us to know the quality of the inside of a fruit. It is the basic business integrity that every grocery store needs to hold to gain customer trust. I'm very disappointed and think that Park to Shop lowered the Asian groceries' reputation bar.

They additionally make it extra complicated by sometimes not having items tagged on the shelf. They often do not have live people cashiers.

I do not mind paying for a quality product and expected the sausage to be about $6-7 lb which it was. However when I reached for the Lasagna I noticed it was marked over $20.00 for the small pan. On Zeppe'S Website it states price of $16.00. When I questioned the young man behind the register he stated Zeppe's is a small family business and does not own its website. they do not have ability to amend the website and the prices are what is shown in store. They will not honor their website prices. I would have bought the sausage but because I found it "unethical" that they will not honor their advertised website prices, they lost a customer.
