Desi India Bazaar

Good place for getting quick grocery. Very friendly staff, Prices are little bit high compared to other indian Stores. Quality wise they are not that great for the price what we pay, items in this store are expensive as i said before.

I really love this place. Excellent prices and awesome selection of Indian spices, rice and lentils.
Also has ready-​to-​eat Indian food, chutneys, condiments, flours, snacks, frozen stuff, breads, ghee, ice cream… etc.
The owner is friendly and can help with questions.
I loaded up today and I can’t wait to come back soon.

You get regular Indian stuff here but it’s mostly RIDICULOUSLY expensive. Everything is marked up at least twice of what it’s supposed to be! Snacks for $ 3.50, bottled onion pickle chutney for $ 4.50!
Update: just realized the chutney we bought here was expired. Excellent. Expired, overpriced stuff. Reduced my rating from 2 to 1 star.

Cooking Indian Cuisine? This is a great place to shop. I first discovered it due to an Indian Restaurant being in the same small strip. Regrettably, that business moved along some time ago.
Anything related to Indian Cuisine or cooking, that I’ve needed, I have been able to find here. I like to make my own spices for naturopathic (Ayurvedic) reasons and they haven’t disappointed me in their variety. They also sell sprouted dal if you are still waiting for your own to develop. Yes, it is much less expensive to do it yourself, but you are paying for the convenience.
Also for convenience — or if you are just looking for comfort food — they have a grand assortment of frozen dinners. I wouldn’t mind them being less expensive, but I imagine the increased price is due to import costs.
The storage and cookware is pricey, probably heavily marked up, but then you are paying extra so they can pay rent on their brick and mortar location. Sacrifices are often made so you can support your local business. The helpfulness of the employees makes it all worthwhile.
Before paying for your purchase, don’t forget to grab a bottle of Limka from the cooler.

Great place for fresh veggies

Checkout their vegetables for extra freshness compared to indian stores around

The pointed gourd is what I wanted (potol in bangla) (parwal in hindi). I was happy with that. Also got methi shaak (fenugreek leaves). Seemed a bit expensive compared to the other Indian shops but the veggies are fresh. Plus you get a free Samosa if you spend above a certain limit. Coming here again!

I wanted to try making an Indian dish, so I gave this place a shot. The young man behind the counter was very helpful and showed me where the spices I needed were. The store was very clean, the prices were clearly marked, and he didn’t try to scam me at the counter. I’ll definitely be back.

Always has what I am looking for in terms of Indian grains, legumes or spices. Several types of paneer, extensive Indian frozen foods. Good selection of produce — curry leaves, okra, unusual gourds, fruits. It is my go-​to place when I am in need of Indian ingredients. Now carrying some organic legumes and grains which is nice to see!

The store is extremely clean compare to other Indian markets I have been to. They have the best samosas and everything at the store is fresh. Their customer service is superb as they will assist you in drop of a hat even if they are busy. They have customers coming from other cities just to shop because of their service, price and fresh produce. It is worth the trip knowing that you don’t have to go back and return items.

This store has a great selection of Indian snacks and street food, including warm samosas! Samosas are good here. I got one that was pretty big and had golden curry sauce. There are a lot of Indian knickknacks here too, and incence. You can get C.D.s and DVDs in various Indian languages, and there are lots of good party treats here as well. On the way out you can get Indian style ice cream. The fresh veggie section is smaller than Trinethra but still a good selection.

Love this place! New to the area and where I’m coming from I lived within my same Indian community where food dress spiritual was all on the same block. Here in SJ I’m a bit scattered from everything. On my second day here I looked in the fridge and realized I needed to do some setting-​in shopping so looked online for an Indian market. I was lucky enough that this place is only 1.5 miles away compared to the other Indian markets/​locations. This place is small but it has it all! Prices are inexpensive and quality is great. On top of that the uncle who runs this place is such a character and one of the guys that also works there is such a cool lad. He’s a Mexican who speaks fluent Hindi! I got joked with one day I went in as he spoke to me in fluent Hindi but I told him he didn’t look Indian. Then I squinted and said ehh perhaps you could be? The uncle and him kept the story going while I did my shopping and at the register he told me he’d been working there from last 10 years so he picked it up. I was shocked and happy that he’d learned our mother tongue — pretty neat. That to say is this place is homely, great items and super nice people. I’m glad they’re my neighborhood store.

Am I the first one to write a review here? I like this place because I get good fresh cut vegetables at a good price. Sometimes I call in for specific vegetables and I get them nicely cut, washed and packed. A huge time saver for a vegetarian like me while cooking evening dinner. Good choice for other Indian groceries as well.
Good service with a clean atmosphere, so a bonus star for that.
