As with the previous review, this is a recently opened Indian and South Asian Grocery Store that replaced an previous Indian Grocery store in the same plaza. It's nestled in the corner of the plaza and much of the space can only be viewed by walking over. It's very likely you could miss it while driving but FYI it's adjacent to the car wash, in the plaza where the Roch. Hills Post Office and the plaza itself is literally right across from the Chipotle adjacent to Barclay Circle.
They claim to be one of the largest if not the largest Indian grocery store in the state. I'm not sure about rankings but it definitely is a large space that I didn't explore entirely my first time there. In many regards, it's a typical Ethnic foods grocery store and a typical Indian one at that. Some goods are especially cheap. In this case, I'm talking about 'Mothers' Indian masala mixes which basically do all the spice work for you whether you're Indian and just don't have the time to make the masala for Chicken Tikka Masala or whether you're not South Asian, you're intrigued by the exotic grocery store, and you're inclined to try new things and get an inkling of other cultures. $1.49 per mix and they're better than Shan and other brands in that those you would have to further experiment with proportions but with Mother, literally follow the directions and you won't have to do any other extra work. The masala is in the form of a paste so if you were having doubts, it's not a powder.
Apart from my experience, there's nothing too much out of ordinary esp if you're Indian, Pakistani, or any other South Asian. Mostly Indian imported snacks and other products. You have a small section where they have fresh savory snacks like Samosas and Chaat and desserts like Jalebi and Kaju Katli. There are fresh vegetables, some tailored for Indian cuisine and others generally like any other American grocery store. I'm not sure but there's also most likely a Bollywood movie playing on a small screen tv and Bollywood/South Indian/North Indian movies for rental or purchase as well.
Whatever your background is, it's worth checking a place like this especially if the store has something you desire that can't be found elsewhere! read more
