Butala is a great place to pick up Indian handicrafts, books on yoga and Hinduism, prayer items,…read moreutensils, etc. I frequented their Manhattan location for years but recently discovered they had closed down that store permanently. My guess is the sales did not offset the high rents. It is likely that this Queens location might come under a similar pressure. It is a large store, well-stocked and clean. The service is friendly but I find their knowledge of the inventory is lacking. Their collection of books, especially the Amar Chitra Katha comic books that I was raised on, is quite unique. Unlike with a grocery store, this is an episodic business and customers visit the store infrequently. But if I am in the market for Indian merchandise, I will be sure to check out Butala. An excellent resource for New Yorkers, although I realize the Manhattan location was too good to be sustainable.

I bought one big stone moonstone bracelet from them and they gave me a tiger's eye bracelet for free with the buy $35 or more and receive a bracelet for free sale that was going on. What I like is that they let you try on everything beforehand and actually encourage their clients and customers to touch their products (for energy work purposes/to see how it looks on you), which made me feel more at ease with the whole shopping experience. They also went above and beyond for me because the bracelets I bought were initially a little too small for my wrist so they took the time to re-string both of them. They also let me cleanse the bracelets on their big amethyst stone. Supposedly they also do incense cleansing for stones too. What I also like is that they also do repair on jewelry. Their prices also are pretty just/reasonable in comparison to Manhattan/other crystal shops. Absolute would come here again to get more products.
