Bombay Bazaar

Well stocked and well organised store.

Best place for Indian groceries in the Denver area. And yes, I got a thank you and have a nice day on the way out.

Large, well stocked, well lit, clean with the best choice of Indian groceries that I’ve found in the Denver metropolitan area. Go on thursdays if you want fresh produce.
The people behind the counter are not outgoing, but by no means unfriendly. I’ve always found them to be very professional & have helped me when I couldn’t find something or needed a recommendation.

Very professionally ran, always clean with fresh foods as the turn around is fast. Great service with grace. We have been shopping here for decades and it is always consistent. Wish you many more decades of success.

I dropped by last night hoping that the store would be open, and since it was, I came in to buy some chana dal and some golden raisins. The store is very organized, and the prices are great. When I got up to the counter, I asked the owner what his store hours are, and he said they close at 9 pm. It was 9:20 pm. I realized I was keeping him and apologized, and he was very nice about it. I will definitely be back.

This is our go-​to Indian grocery store. They carry a wide variety of spices, sauces, ready-​to-​eat stuff, frozen desert, frozen entrees, ice creams, Ayurvedic juices etc. They also have the greatest variety of brands as compared to other local Indian grocery stores.
Apart from the regular grocery items, they also carry DVDs, CDs and kitchen appliances (pressure cookers, mixer grinders etc).
The prices are reasonable and comparable to the other local stores. I have been going here for a few years now and the owner has become friendlier with each visit :)

This guys charge extra on each item; they will put their own sticker and charge more then the original price. Its better not to buy from here and you can save some $$ amount if you buy from some other Indian Grocery… the owner is very rude with no customer ethics!!!

Sardarji that works there is not friendly at all. Selection is whatever as well. t

Somewhat daunted by reading previous reviews, I tried it out today. I expected a very cold reception but I heard the words «thank you» twice! And I found exactly what I wanted.

Very clean and well maintained Indian grocery store.

I thought I knew Indian food until I walked in and discovered loads of entrees, seasonings, and spices I had never seen before! What a great selection of specialty foods!

I wonder why someone would go to this store. The ATTITUDE of the shop owner i so bad, i would n’t recommend anyone to go there.

Cheap lentils by the tonage!
10 pounds of red lentils for $ 17 — woot!
This is the place my indian co-​workers said to go to, so i did.
I can’t compare to other local indian grocery stores– but there are tons of items in that store.
So many yummy goodies! All the lentils i can carry, all the cumin i can carry and everything else!
Just so far from home!

I went to this store looking for henna since I am on a quest to have healthier hair. They had every henna I was looking for and it was very cheap. I think the most expensive henna was $ 3.99. It was my first time there but I will be going back.

Since traveling to India and hosting many Indian visitors, Bombay Bazaar has become my go to place for Indian cooking items and Bollywood films. I have had many instructors in Indian cooking and one of my favorite cooks, Brijesh, taught me how to look for the spice mix boxes in the back of the store. Need to make Riatta, just get the spice box, read the back for additional ingredients, and you will have a perfectly seasoned Riatta. Many have said that the owner is the only problem with the store; they say he is cranky and not very friendly. This might be true but I have taken great joy in making him smile; I will wear my Indian suit into the store, get the things I need, and then will ask him to help me make a decision about something. The last time it was which it the best Sambhar spice; by the time I had asked the right questions and what was his favorite there was an ever so slight upturn of his mouth. My friends from India also agree best shop in Denver for Indian cooking.

This is an all-​in one Indian supplies store. To call this place justa grocery store, does not do justice.
They sell groceries. yeah, but they also have appliances, cd’s, dvd’s, cookers and all sortsa other utensils. So, if you were to walk into an empty kitchen, Bombay bazaar could fill it up for ya. Now for those who visit this place for the first time, a couple of pointers:
–If you have a special order, they taken ‘em and usually have it available for you by the next week
— They get most of their fresh imported veggies on Thursday, so, you know when to go geth ‘em.
— If you buy appliances from them, the sale is as-​is, you’ll have to work back issues with the reseller
— Don’t expect a smile, ‘hello’ or ‘thankyou’ or ‘did you find everything you need’…don’t ask me why, but that’s that’s just the way it is (been waiting for that smile for 10 years now;))
So, until we get a Patel’s chain in Denver, Bombay Bazaar does just fine.

Very clean and organized market with a nice frozen food section and a small produce section. They sell everything from what appears to be necessary spices and herbs to crackers, snacks, sweets, movies, cds, and kitchen utensils and cookers. If they don’t have something, ask and they may be able to come out with it. (coriander leaves anyone?)
As mentioned, the guys aren’t the «friendliest,» but they will help you if asked. Prices were decent.

I want to like Bombay Bazaar with their variety of INDIAN GOONESS. Its indeed the MECCA store to get your INDIAN grocery galore needs. With the pre-​packaged meals that can comes in handy if I am too tired to cook and the variety of spices you can get, this place has it.
Though I cant deny some things are slightly above the price of other Indian grocer that I am used to. Perhaps they have the UPPER HAND to increase those items since they are the ONLY INDIAN Grocer in town to carry that PARTICULAR Basmati Rice that I have been using. Oh well.
Just be extra careful, coz sometimes the items they sell is EXPIRED.
As for the customer services, sometimes can be cold, sometimes can be friendly. Another down side for this store is, sometimes the items are not being tagged with a price list. This made me slightly frustrated since I like to know how much I am buying or getting from my list. Is this really being allowed to sell items without a PRICE code in Metro Denver?
Might return and see how my parents think about this store and perhaps my review my differ.

In the same Aurora stripmall as Masalaa (see previous review) lies another gem fit for a Raja — Bombay Bazaar.
When you enter you may at first be puzzled by the name of the shop since the owner is a Sikh from India’s Punjab region, which is not terribly close to Bombay/​Mumbai. However, rest assured that Bombay Bazaar carries products from all over India and beyond.
To your right as you step in are coolers filled with frozen veggies and breads of all stripes as well as ready-​to-​cook meals and snacks (including a pastry remarkably like a Hot Pocket™). Here you will also find the fresh cheese called Paneer as well as Kulfi (ice cream) in many flavors — my favorites are Aam (mango) and Sitaphal (sweetsop).
Shelves overflow with spice blends such as Garam Masala and chutneys like Amla (gooseberry) and Gongura (a tangy herb from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh) as well as a variety of Namkeens (snacks) which are crunchy, spicy and more-​ish — all at the same time!
Bottles of cordial syrups such as Rose, Orange, Lemon and Khus (a native plant with a vivid green color and a distinctive herby taste) will compete for your attention too (they sometimes even have the syrup to make Thandai, the sweet/​spicy drink consumed especially during the harvest festival of Holi).
If that wasn’t enough they even have a small produce section! Yes, visit Bombay Bazaar and find the answers to your South Asian queries, big and small.

Bombay Bazaar is a fantastic store for the Indian chef at home. They have been able to provide me with every «strange» ingredient I’ve needed to create my Indian masterpieces. Fenugreek seeds, red chili powder, lentils, tamarind, green cardamum pods, blanched almonds, and many more spices and CHEAP prices!
The selection of curry pastes, chutneys & sauces is incredible! I recommend the Patak’s brand. I have not been disappointed ONCE by a bottle of Patak’s chutney or paste that I have purchased and Bombay Bazaar carries a wide variety of their stuff.
Next, they have giant bags of varieties of rice. Jasmine, basmati, etc… They also have a freezer section filled with pre-​made garlic & plain naan, roti, frozen dinners & veggies. They also have fresh garlic & ginger as well as a small selection of fresh veggies.
Everything sold in this store is noticeably cheaper than what you would find in a regular grocery store and for some of the stuff, IF you could find it in a regular grocery store. Bombay Bazaar is great for collecting the unique ingredients you need for Indian dishes and maybe a few veggies, but they don’t have meat or a wide selection of veggies so it’s not a «complete» shopping experience, but that doesn’t bother me. On grocery day, I like adventuring to different stores to find the puzzle pieces to whatever I will be creating over the next few days. Bombay Bazaar plays a large roll in my kitchen and I’m thankful to have them around.
