Whole Foods is typically cheaper than Publix for organic produce, pasture-raised eggs, organic…read moredairy, humanely raised meats, and 365 Everyday Value Brand store brand products. However, standard packaged pantry snacks and conventional national-brand goods are typically cheaper at Publix, especially when Publix runs its frequent Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO) sales. Whole Foods has a much larger selection of pre-made hot food selections and salad selections than Publix. On my latest visit, my hot bar food selections included: Sweet chili chicken 10/10 orange chicken 10/10 Chicken tika masala 9/10 Cheese lasagna 4/10 white fish 6/10 meatballs 8/10 The sweet chili chicken is great but they often have it at Publix for less but it is not always available like it is at Whole Foods. 9/10 The orange chicken had a great flavor as well and they don't ever have anything like that at Publix. 10/10 The chicken tika masala had a good flavor and was mild not spicy, could have had a little more spice but they're probably trying to appeal to more people. 9/10 The cheese lasagna was missing seasoning and meat. 4/10 The white fish was a little on the bland side and could have had a better marinade or seasoning. However, for those who want something light it could work. I wish Whole Foods had more fish dish selections available including some salmon. 6/10 The meatballs had a good flavor and sauce and were not too dry as sometimes happens with meatballs, especially if meatballs are too big. These were just the right size to not be too dry. 8/10 My overall high protein low carb selections weighed in at 1.3lbs at $11.99 per pound which totals to $14. It's a little cheaper than what I'd be charged for chicken tika masala at an Indian restaurant so it's kinda a good deal if you're craving something different, extra healthy, and wholesome. The hot bar is self serve so there is no table service. The ambiance at Whole Foods is modern but minimalist with lots of natural light and modest light wood tables and chairs. A sign describes Whole Foods' healthy standards that aren't standard anywhere else: - We offer fresh produce from thousands of local, organic and sourced for good farms. - Our seafood department only sells sustainable wild-caught and responsibly farmed seafood. - Our standards prohibit over 100 preservatives, flavors, colors and other ingredients commonly found in food. - We don't allow hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners in any food we sell. - Our meat department requires animal welfare certified beef, pork, chicken, and turkey. no added hormones or antibiotics ever.

If you were wondering if the Tampa location had the family meals that you've seen on social media…read moreIm hear to say they do. I stopped in last night to retrieve one of these family meals. It wasn't too busy and I had the best experience with Collin picking out my entree and sides. He had recommendations and helped put the meal together. I got the Sweet chili salmon, green beans and mash potatoes. I had about a 30 minute drive home and we did end up eating this for dinner and I have to say I microwaved the sides and reheated the salmon in a pan just to keep the skin crispy and it turned out really good. A little dry but not terrible for being reheated. I probably wouldn't get the green beans again, but the mashed potatoes and the Salmon were a good option.

They also have a lot of sales and a rewards program. They recently renovated the entire store and it looks amazing! Daniell, Christian, Robert and Anthony are the best! They are all so knowledgeable and go out of their way to help you find exactly what you're looking for. My favorite part about this store is the wine tastings! Daniell does such an amazing job setting this up every month with so many tasty wines & other beverages to try. I come every single month to try new items and stock up on my liquor & wine for the month. I've been coming to these longer than I can count, since before they paused it during COVID. It's gotten so much better since Daniell took over! You can tell she puts a lot of time into the selections, makes printed guides for what's available to try, and comes up with mixed drinks & recipes. It's always been such a hit and what brings everyone I know into the store, but lately it has been too inconsistent. I used to rely on it being every single month on the last Thursday, but now that it's not monthly, I never know when it is. I don't usually make it into the store outside of these tastings, so there is no way for me to know when they are. When it was consistent, I had it planned out every month. I'm very disappointed they decided to do it less often. It seems like this is the only reason not as many people have been showing up lately. It used to be packed when it was every month. Please bring it back! I'd much rather have a price increase than no monthly wine tasting at all.

Daniell has become more than our wine lady, she is now our wine mom. We look forward to seeing her every monthly wine tasting. We don't come just for the tasting, we come to see her and all the work she puts into it! She picks out the best wines to try. When Robert is at the tastings, we aren't just trying new products. We are learning and listening to his amazing stories about his travels. Bethany picked a tequila for us to try that was the best I've ever had at a tasting. Anthony is ready with our tasting glasses and to ring us up as soon as we walk in. He's always helpful with any questions we have. You may be able to tell that we only go in the store during the tastings, it's when we get to try new products and purchase our wine and liquor for the month. The fact that it's been so irregular lately is disappointing. It was always so popular when it was happening regularly, now no one knows when it's happening. This is the only reason for the 4 starts and not all 5. Please do us all a favor and keep the wine tastings monthly!

My daughter and I decided to visit India Bazaar, and the experience was great. I quickly found the spices I needed, along with a good selection of options. I also found fresh curry leaves and cilantro at a great price. They don't have a large selection of produce like Patel Bros, but if you live west of I-275, east of Veterans, south of Vandyke, and need spices in a pinch, I recommend India Bazaar. I found the required spices reasonably priced at $2.99: black mustard seed, chaat masala, and dried chilies. I was pleased with my experience and will definitely return. The store was easy to navigate, and the owners were extremely prompt when I approached the checkout area, despite receiving a delivery. They were helpful and stopped everything to assist me.

It's a small & tightly packed Indian grocery store that has dried and fresh herbs, frozen meals,…read morecolorful Indian treats inside coolers, etc. We were specifically looking for Red Chili Powder Kashmiri and Garam Masala. Yes - I can get it from Amazon, but this is a nice break from ordering everything online and I loove human contact. I'm assuming the Indian cashier is one of the owners; She was nice & walked us over to where all the dried spices were located. We made Keema (Spiced Ground Beef) not once, twice, but THREE times this past week because it was so, so delish at home, especially during COVID-19 (weird times) pandemic! In my opinion, Indian food is underrated - it is almost a tie in my book to Asian food because it uses a lot of different dried spices and fresh herbs. We bought a pack of Roti (frozen) & reheated it in a pan on the stovetop. Also, we got a pack of fresh mint only for a $1 (nicely priced) for adding to the dish & for garnishing! I'm challenging myself to cook more Indian food in 2020! They could do a better job of decluttering because there was a bunch of stuff near the coolers and the light that was blinking constantly should be fixed.
