Himalayan Bazar

My mom and I wandered in here yesterday morning and were greeted warmly by the staff. They had a wide variety of groceries, in particular lots of fresh vegetables! The staff were knowledgeable about the items in their store and even shared with us that they get their fresh shipments of vegetables on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. My mom and I were able to purchase several vegetables (daikon, taro root, squash) and a variety of lentils for a great price. Thank you!

This is such a cool little store, specializing in Indian, Hindu, and Nepalese goods. They have all the weird spices that I’ve never heard of, imported straight from Delhi. They’ve got a produce section, that could really use some work. The greens seem rather wilted, and not too appetizing.
They’ve got a weird side room to sell things that you can’t eat– incense holders, knickknack holders, bangles, you name it.
I enjoy the fact that they’ve got a variety of foods that you’ll never find anywhere else. Their selection of premade foods is pretty good, and I always enjoy going through their bottled drinks– they’ve always got really weird flavors.
The place is clean, and the staff is friendly.
Himalayan Bazaar is certainly your one stop for food from the Indian subcontinent!

I used to come here under the old management, and I would agree that it was only good for non-​perisable goods. But recently, I was not able to go to HEB and decided to stop by and I was pleasantly surprised! It has not only moved a few doors down to a bigger location, but the produce was also very fresh. The moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the person at the register. The customer service and overall fresh selection was great!
It is also now called Himalayan Bazaar

Apparently, this small Indian grocer has renamed itself as Himalayan Bazar. They offer a fairly good selection of Indian groceries, as well some house wares and puja (Hindu prayer) supplies.
The staff greeted us and were friendly when we checked out. The store is small, so if you know what you need, you can be in-​and-​out in a matter of minutes.
One major annoyance is that many of the items are not marked with price tags. It makes me reticent to buy items that have no stated price because I wonder if I am being charged the actual price or some arbitrary amount.
Also, like many small groceries, the produce could have been fresher. It is possible that we came on the last day between deliveries, but then again, perhaps they just do not focus on keeping the best produce available.
This is a great place to buy inexpensive spices, rice, tea, and lentils. Since these are staples in many Indian pantries, the turnover of these items is fairly quick and you can feel confident that you are not purchasing items that have been sitting on the shelves for a long time.
If you live near by this grocery, it is a good option; but there are many other Indian groceries in the vicinity that have a better selection– in particular Ali Baba.

Really nice customer service and beautiful jewelry items perfect for stocking stuffers. The grocery selections were great too! Ask them about threading and henna services. I’m thrilled to have found this little shop.
