This was one of the first asian/Indian stores opened in the Saratoga County by the Sihal family who owned another grocery store and a restaurant location in Albany county. The management has recently changed. You do get to buy stuff that you wouldn't find at Walmart or a local grocery store that are used in a South Asian household. My family goes there every Thursday as they get fresh vegetables and meat. The vegetables are purchased in NYC and brought here. You get the green chilis that are spicier than the one in your local store....I addition you get to buy tropical fruits jack fruits, green pumpkin, lychee and guava. I go there for my Mukwas (mouth freshener...soamp), Thums up (Indian soda) and mango kulfi.

They actually seem to have a wider selection of dry goods than Parivar on Central, including some Lebanese brands as well as Swaad and the other Indian standbys. And, a summer-long search for fresh okra, I found two different varieties; the proprietor explained that one is supposed to be less slimy than the other. The way you buy your meat here is to place an order through a window, which doesn't appeal to me because I like to see it first. Meat prices are also a bit high. But for other South Asian items this is going to be my go-to.

I'm always happy to discover a new ethnic market and this Halal supermarket is no exception…read more Located behind Advanced Auto Parts just off of Rt. 9 I happened upon it when I was going behind Bella Napoli to try to save some time getting out onto the road. What I found was a store fully stocked with produce, frozen foods, canned goods, grains, snacks and lots and lots of spices. They were cutting fresh meat in the back so I assume they sell that too. The prices were very reasonable from what I saw. I only bought 4 items for my first time but I pal. To come back and check out the large spice selection. The produce looked fresh with some familiar American items and some that are primarily used in Indian cooking. I purchased a large pouch of madras curry powder for $2.99. Next time I'll get some fenugreek seeds for sure. I also got a box of spicy Chapli Chicken Kabobs with coriander seeds they are gmo free with a short, food only ingredient list. Mango Chili sauce and a pistachio ice cream (kulfi) bar rounded out my purchases for today. The place was very busy which is always a good sign.

The signature dish is a whole roast chicken, beautifully spiced, on a bed of pilaf and surrounded by fries and a fresh veggie garnish for $20 cash. They have other items which require an hour for prep so call ahead. Afghani Rosh, stewed lamb in a tomato sauce, is $24 for 1 pound, $34 for two. They also have Afghan Polaw, a risotto which Google says is the national dish and Kayi stew with chicken, lamb or goat, price unknown. Near the corner of Central and Lake. Easy parking in a public lot in the middle of the block.

They were well stocked with a double wide store area. There is a sign in the back, but they lost the star for location and ease of finding. The inside is what you would expect from a middle eastern grocery. A whirlwind of advertising directed at different taste and culture. Rich reds and yellows unashamed mustaches on plump faces. There are so many different kids of food than there is a our markets. I got a cucumber looking thing with unappetizing looking bumps all over it. Food can be an adventure for the adventurous.

I'm surprised I am the first to review this place, but maybe I shouldn't be. We came on a late…read moreweekday evening (7PM) which turned out to be their one-month anniversary, and found it was completely deserted. This is a huge building that once housed the "Kosher Price Chopper" (which moved down the street). We passed several Asian and one large Indian specialty supermarkets on the drive over and I don't know if the area really needed another store this large. Time will tell. Upon walking into the large former produce area, we found gobs of empty space and a small selection of produce that didn't wow us. I suspect they have slower turnover then larger stores, and as a result much of the fruits and vegetables looked tired. They did have a nice selection of hot peppers. Also, upon entering I saw several signs advertising their pizza (!) and suggesting we order it while we do your shopping and then take it home to eat. I was certainly hopping that there would be some nice hot prepared food at this supermarket but I was not expecting pizza. If there were other options I didn't see them. There were two employees working in the pizza area, and I saw no other ones at all until we checked out. Moving to the back, all of their freezer and cooler sections appeared to be on although most were empty. Their meat section contained a giant liver, a huge leg of something (goat or lamb?) and little else. Maybe by 7PM it is all sold out, or perhaps it isn't a big part of their business. It seems odd to power up lots of empty coolers. We went up and down their grocery aisles and picked a bunch of things to try (pasta, prepared sauces, cookies, frozen samosas, naan, etc.) and in the process were completely perplexed. It seemed like the same items were on multiple shelves, with only the brand names being different. For example, we found Samosas in three different aisles. Are they sorted by religious distinction (Halal maybe), by brand name, or by ingredients? We don't know, and there were no staff to ask. Their ice cream selection looked pretty cool (see what I did there) and if it were hotter outside we would have bought some. The bakery section didn't have much in the way of specialty international baked goods, and for the restaurant section we were later told it is sometimes open if the owner shows up. In all, it was a very awkward shopping experience. We had lots of questions about products but no one was there to help us. The entire store could be condensed into about a third of the space which would make shopping quicker and easier. Instead, it felt like walking into an abandoned business. It was also colder than I would have liked, but I can't fault them for not turning the heat up for literally one set of customers. Will I be back? Maybe, but I need to give them time to grow. Until then, there is another international supermarket on the same street just a little bit east which I like a lot better.

I really appreciated the helpful and knowledgeable staff. They have an onsite halal Butcher…read more Wonderful selection of fresh products as well as dry goods. Huge frozen section with samosas and Veg. Very clean and organized. They have everything from sweets, chaat(snacks), and main. If you are vegetarian or vegan They also have a ton of options for you as well. They carry proper English as well as Asian varieties of tea. They also have fresh Afghani bread delivered on Thursdays as well as delicious fresh samosas. The biggest thing I was thrilled about was the huge bags of dry lentils. We love lentil soup, its a game changer at $6.00 for a huge bag!! Watch my walk through video for a glimpse of the goodness.

This is an incredible tragedy as there was no milk or yogurt or even beef in Willow Marsh when I went.

If you read this, please go into Willow Marsh and lend them your support. They have a milk subscription that they are trying to sell, so the bank knows that this is a vital service to our community.
