India Merchandise

Customer service is rude by the lady owner. we asked her to show things behind the counter where we don’t have access to go, she makes face as if she doesn’t want to help and if don’t buy that particular item she starts saying things. she needs to understand, we need to look at the item if its good quality or not. we can’t just throw money like that.

Love this store! Lots of fabric, cookware, spice, and my favorite incense! Sweets and some fresh vegetables. My first visit but not my last.

Obviously, I’m not Indian, but I do make a lot of Indian food and buy Indian products. I remember when this place used to be located a block away in a small, narrow store that could barely fit a handful of people. Today, as Manteca’s Indian community has grown, so has India Merchandise and its selection. Walking into their large store, one will find a veritable gold mine of imported foods, spices, household products, ready-​to-​make meals, fabrics, and more. Specializing in Northern Indian goods (especially Punjabi), this is definitely a gem for area’s thriving Indian community (as well as non-​Indians!)
In addition, the lady who is usually there every day has always been really sweet and friendly. Since I am not Indian, she always assumes I am unfamiliar with the products and offers assistance to find what I need, not in a condescending «you-don’t-know-what-you’re-doing» way, but in a polite, helpful way.
You can surely find any Indian product you need here (and many other Asian and American products as well). I definitely recommend stopping by and checking out what they have to offer. If you’re not Indian, consider it a cultural experience =)
