Located along Lancaster Ave in Malvern, I visited this store during my visit to Buffet closer. The store is good size, not huge like other Indian groceries. But they have all the items that you will typically need. I shopped for oil, veggies, and some spices. The owner is a very friendly person and assisted me in finding the items and a nice person to talk to. The location has a shared parking lot, and you should be good to find one. They do have cooked food available for purchase and a good collection of frozen varieties. It's definitely worth visiting this grocery place. Give it a try !!! read more

See all

Nice. Has a lot of what you need for Indian groceries. And you can get ready to eat samosas for $1.50 each (very slightly oily but quite tasty, nicely spiced, and much better than the samosas you get in a typical Indian restauraunt; suspect they are tailored more for Indian clientele than American tastes). Within the same shopping area, there is a Chinese grocery, Gong's, for your East Asian / Chinese groceries and fresh vegetable needs. read more

First of all, the owner was one of the nicest people I ever met. The selection was incredible, especially that this location isn't what you think of when you think of Indian supermarkets. We found items we can usually only find in Queens. The prices were fair too. Again, the star of the show is the incredible owner who helped us find the precise ingredients for what we wanted. read more

They have the usual staples but the unique item at this store is the super friendly owner. He is always willing to help and chit chat with customers. Old school customer service. read more

have to review this place. Shifted to Malvern from NJ and found this place to do my shopping. first thing first, Sundar and Kiran uncle. they ll make you feel this place as your home by their hospitality. Sundar helped me in my grocery shopping. though shop is small, dont have much option in vegetables but still, most of the items you ll definitely find here. if there is price diff, they ll make adjustment for you. they ll go extra mile to make your shopping comfortable and homely (never seen this in my 2.5 yrs of stay in USA). Def Recommended..!! Thank you Kiran Uncle. You touched my heart. read more

Great little Indian grocery store. As others have remarked, the man who owns it is so sweet, helpful, and kind. He spent tons of time with me finding the right ingredients, and I can't wait to go home and cook it all up. He also mentioned that his nephew is a very good cook and helps people with recipes on Saturdays. I'm looking forward to coming back and talking with him. Highly recommend! read more

I will concur with a previous reviewer that the gentleman who was running this place today when I stopped in was very friendly. Like, really friendly. Like, he wanted to be my friend kind of friendly. Well, I was the only one in the store. Maybe he just wanted someone to talk to? It's all good. I just stopped in to see what they had in case I wanted a second Indian store option near work. Royal India up the street is the competition, and they're tough to beat. Usha falls a little short of Royal India's selection. But it's still a good selection of Indian groceries. And if they don't have it, you can ask my new friend behind the counter and he will call someone to see if he can get it for you. He did that for me. And any place I can get 5 packages of Parle G biscuits for a buck is alright by me. read more

Great store for everything from produce, to spices, to ghee, to frozen prepared foods. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are fair and reasonable. I highly recommend and keep coming back because they are a great value. read more

Great for the Indian spices you need! Bring cash if planning to spend less than $10/15, as there is a minimum purchase for card. There is also a hot food bar from which you can order, which looks delicious. They serve it/plate it. I've only come for the spices, but each time I think "next time I have to order some hot food." You won't be disappointed: great selection here. I always recommend calling first to see if they have the special item that you need. Good customer service as well. read more

In the area temporarily and wanted to check this place out. What a an amazing little shop, made mostly so by the wonderful man behind the counter. I stopped in mostly to look around and to maybe also pick up some spices and besan flour. Well, I left w/ several more items than I had planned on buying. The sweet man behind the counter (the owner) greeted me SO warmly, showed me around, and provided tips on how to prepare moong dahl (which he also told me is great for the joints --how he knew I needed help w/ that is beyond me, but I welcomed the advice b/c, yes, my joints could use a bit of help). On the way out, he treated me to one of the BEST samosas I have ever eaten (dusted w/ just the right amount of kala namak--YUM!)-- "As a thank you for being so nice!" I'm the one that was thankful for the hospitably and the treat! This is a GREAT shop for basics, legumes, chutneys, spices, and outstanding customer service. They have a great selection of healthy products. I was very happy w/ my visit, and if I'm in the area again, I'll definitely go back. read more

I'm in serious withdrawal. I moved back to the States in early March. I spent the first few weeks basically doing nothing in San Francisco for a eight weeks. Now I'm back east and I'm trying to get my bearings as to where things are and where I can find my favorite products.. San Francisco is easy when it comes to international foods. There is a fair amount of diversity and when I needed to track down an Asian market it took me maybe five minutes with the help of the Internet. However, now I'm out in suburban Philadelphia. The search isn't quite as easy. It's not impossible as you see various ethnicities around you everyday, but the catch is where do they shop to get ingredients for their native food dishes and specialties? I asked someone and she immediately gave me details directions, but I'm helping to bring this info to the Internet. I'm addicted to kimchee and pickled garlic. I was hoping the Chinese market in this center would have them both. They only had kimchee. On the way in, I saw Usha Food Market, but didn't stop there as I was looking for northeast Asian specialties. On the way out, however, I figured I was there and decided to check. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and guided me to various condiments and found some Indian style pickled garlic. I've never tried it, so I decided to try it. Then I remembered that I simply love bhindi masala (masala made with okra aka lady-fingers). They had a frozen type but also the MTR bhindi masala: http://www.amazon.com/MTR-Bhendi-Masala-10-5-Ounce-Pack/dp/B000M9N1NW/ref=rsl_mainw_dpl?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER. I loved the MTR bhindi masala because it's good for busy folks as you just drop the pouch in boiling water, let it heat up and then eat. However, I figured maybe the frozen variety would be a bit healthier. I also found garlic naan in their freezer section. You just don't understand how happy I am right now! However, if you've lived abroad, got addicted to easy to find foreign foods there and have repatriated, you might ;) I'm by no means an expert on Indian foods or products, but when I lived in Seoul, the Indian market was a place I'd go to frequently. The Usha Food Market appeared to be well-stocked with all sorts of foods, drinks and other products like toiletries and even Bollywood movies. The tip off that an ethnic spot is good is that you see people of that ethnicity shopping there. They were too, so I found a good place. Basically, if you're familiar with Indian foods but don't know where to find them, this is a great place to go. They were helpful and also very friendly. That makes a huge difference for me when I'm shopping. I highly recommend this place. They're tucked away in the rear of the center next to a big pet grooming store. They're in the corner on the right. Behind them on the inside in the Chinese market. I can't recall the name of that market, therefore, I can't review them separately. However, it makes it very convenient for me to have them both next to each other. read more

A good Indian grocery store with a decent variety of vegetables and groceries. The gentleman running the store is extremely sweet and courteous. He went out of his way to ensure that we found what we needed. They're renovating their store, so they are a bit low on stock on a few things. One of the biggest pros is that unlike other Indian stores I've been to their vegetables were fresh. Prices seemed reasonable. Will definitely be going back. read more

Indian Food Lovers rejoice! Now you can have Indian Food any day of the week by shopping here. I was able to find Garlic Naan, Lamb Vindaloo, Gulab Jamun, Coriander Chutney, Lentil Crisps (Papad), Lamb Kabobs, and all the ingredients needed to make Homemade Mango Lassi. NOTES: They're located in the CORNER of the shopping center. You actually have to enter (2) doors to get to it. At first it seems small until you realize there's a second larger room in the back housing the bulk of their supplies. The Indian couple owners are VERY helpful! If they don't have something they'll get it for you in (1) week. * They take Credit Card IF your order is more than $20. Otherwise it's cash only. read more

I love this place. It's always got what I'm looking for and often has a few surprises. The owner is a warm friendly individual who makes me look forward to seeing him again. He'll often send me home with something extra - no charge - for my family. I only wish I lived closer so I could shop there regularly. There is a great Asian market very close by called Gong's that is also worth a visit. read more

This is a small but well stocked Indian grocery- they have spices, rice, grains, lentils and other items like ghee and Indian pickles. They also have a small selection of produce like okra, cilantro, chilis, ginger, etc. Basically all you need for making Indian food. The proprietor is extremely friendly and helpful. Recommended! read more

Owner very nice, but Royal India a half mile away has better selection...

Came in looking for Turmeric, then to my amazement they had organic products, the Owner was so nice and courteous told me that soon they will be carrying even more organic products i am all in for mom & pops stores getting my hard earned money keep it in the community. Will be back soon. read more

Fantastic! The owners were super friendly and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He recommended naan straight from India instead of getting the one made in the US. Great choice (I'm sure the other option was great as well). He gave us tips on how to cut our chicken and make curry. Very authentic and we will be back! read more

I traveled in India years ago and among many things I liked was walking down narrow streets and peering into shops. You'd see things there you'd never seen before. Not gross things, just interesting ones. Usha Food Market brings back a little of that feeling for me. Very cool merchandise in addition to the food. When I went in recently and got a small amount of food, I asked the proprietor if he knew where a certain road was. (I am a smart phone hold out.) He did everything he could to help me out and he was successful. A good guy and I imagine if you had any questions or wanted advice an Indian recipe he'd be great at providing the answers. read more

Love this place! Great place for Indian food! Great help in choosing best Nan and also has some women who have stay at home jobs cooking Indian so you can opt for freshly cooked!! Usha's also has a coupon card! VERY friendly and helpful! read more

I read other reviews about Royal India and have not been so cannot compare. However, I came in because I found this place between my work and home and needed a few items. As soon as I walked in the owners greeted me and asked me if I wanted tea (they were making some for themselves). They made me feel as though it was a homey environment rather than a place of business. I would definitely return. read more

This is the most personable grocery store I have ever been in. I was looking for ingredients and was given recipe instructions by the owner Karin and his wife Usha. The nicest people you'd ever want to meet. read more

This is the BEST Indian grocery shop in all of Pennsylvania!!! The owners are the most gracious and sweet couple and make you want to come back again and again! They are lovely! The store has a variety of spices, vegetarian items, sweets, and so many things you don't need to go anywhere else. We LOVE going shopping at Usha Food Market. We drive out of our way to go there. It is like visiting friends. read more

This is a terrific market. It has everything you need, and Sundar and Kiran are a tremendous help.

First of all to say the owner of this shop is awesome and friendly . This is the best Indian grocery in this county with more options to choose with better price . read more

Excellent customer service and good selection of pulses, spices and frozen items. We've tried a few different Indian grocery stores in the area and this one seems to be the best of the lot. One of the owners was at the front when we went and he was incredibly courteous and helpful. An absolutely wonderful shopping experience. read more

So friendly! They had everything we needed and more. They even offered us some sort of butter-based treat that my girlfriend really liked (I don't eat dairy.) Thanks, you guys made our night! read more
