Indian Spice Bazaar

The good:
1) This grocery is walking distance from home so I go there for fresh fruits and veggies, which are convenient. I haven’t tried anything else.
2) They also accept Apple Pay.
The bad:
1) I would go there more often if it weren’t for the credit card minimum, which is $ 10. Sometimes I just need to pop out for an onion or tomato or a lemon, and having to carry cash is super annoying.
2) The milk is always in half gallon or above increments. I think they would sell more milk if they sold in smaller packages for the single people living in the apartments across the street, I mean it’s not like they’re selling to families with 5 children. Same with the dozen-​egg packages, which I can never go through before they go off, so it would be convenient to get eggs in half-​dozen packages.
3) I kinda wish the cashier didn’t ask me about my ethnic descent that one time while I was checking out. Most of the other cashiers were nice, but this cashier was all:
Him: «Where are you from?»
Me: «California»
“No, where are you really from?”
«…California»
«Well, you don’t look white. Where are your parents from?»
Me: «They’re from Pittsburgh.» [storms off]
4) I kinda wish they sold Broccoli Rabe and broccolini and heirloom tomatoes and fennel and just made it into like, a Safeway.

Indian Spice Bazaar is a very nice, clean, and organized grocery market. They have great customer service and a friendly staff. The vegetables and fruits look nice.

Really neat, clean, and well organized. Good customer service. The vegetables look fresh and clean. Also the packaged items had legible expiry dates and price tags.

This is the best Indian store that I have been too! They have so much selection of spices, sauces, desserts, samosas etc. Best price too! I will drive all the way from Milpitas to go to this store anytime!

clean simple layout, not very crowed which works for me, allows me to pick specific stuff which is good here, especially the ready to eat, dry stuff as snacks.
Fresh and greens buy at the farmers market.

Be aware when you buy low prices items kept in big box when you enter shop. I bought some good amount of snacks items and when i tried after coming home, oil was smelling bad. Items were too old and spoiled. I returned them without taking money back. But i still see items are for sell. Prices are very high tan normal for all other items on shelf.

Rather calling this as a gocery store, its a hyper market with all kinds of indian spices, fresh vegetables and fruits, freshly made sweets and lot of devotional stuff, diyas, pooja items with all seasonal stuff like rakhi’s, ganesh idols…
Mainly the customer service is very appreciable… Even the owner is very kind in helping the customers to find a particular item from store where in like other stores who are much worried abt their profits… I was much surprised by seeing the customers appreciating the staff and showing willingness to visit this store again and again

A clean store with fresh vegetables and. Lot and lot of variety of spices for reasonable prices .
Friendly staff and a quick checkout !!! Became a regular grocery store now !!!

We go there because its close to our place, but actually realized that its pretty good compared to some of the other choices. Its clean, with Good choice of Indian groceries, and good service. Its not the cheapest but also not the most expensive Indian store.

I really liked the fact they had fresh heated Samosas for 75 cents. That’s a good deal. The Samosas were made with curry, potatoes and beans. It had a good kick of curry to it.
The place had a variety of cookies, dried fruits, fresh fruits, flour, rice, canned products, spices, and a fairly large frozen section of goodies to heat up a home.
Plenty of parking in the shopping center they share with Safeway.
The prices are good here. Not priced at all.

Clean and organized indian grocery. Plenty of traditional indian snacks, loose spice mixes, fresh made breads and cookies, and giant bulk-​purchase bags of rice. Fresh produce section is limited but high quality– prices are comparable to an average grocery store.
Staff seemed friendly and willing to help those who needed it– a woman looking for a particular type of rice, as well as assistance getting it into her cart and car.
I didn’t need anything in particular here, just stopped in to grab a couple of bell peppers and some snacks– found what I needed much easier than expected!
Definitely check out the clearance section: lots of kids toys and treats, some cosmetics, and cooking pans/​utensils.

I don’t go here often– just visited whenever I went for dinner at the next door restaurant. But I found it neatly organized. The items in the shelves are easy to locate, the prices are great.
Can’t comment much about the freshness of vegetables, but I think they were pretty decent whenever I bought those here.

Pros: Compared to India Cash & Carry, this store is pretty unpopulated.
Cons: Because less people come here, the stuffs are mostly stocked and hence old and almost expiring. Except vegetables, most of the stuffs are not so fresh. Most milk bottles are approaching expiry date.

I went in there looking for artichoke bottoms and cardamom powder, since there’s no Safeway, etc. store that you can rely on to get good, fresh cardamom powder, much less at the great price this place had.
I didn’t find the artichoke bottoms, but I did find cashews for $ 5.99/lb, which is $ 5 cheaper per pound than Whole Foods. Hooray!
And I found burfi. And Indian yogurt, and other yummy things.
The store is very clean and nice, and they had pumpkin cut up as well, which is great since I can’t use a whole huge pumpkin.
They also had all of the ingredients for the poori I love so much but I didn’t have the recipe with me so I didn’t get them… yet.
I’m very happy to have found this place, and hope they stay reasonably priced.

It’s nice and very clean store. They always have fresh vegetables and fruits. Everything is so organize. I never seen any other indian store like this. The staff and the owner is very friendly. I always go there for shopping.

I’ve been going to indian spice bazaar since it opened. They have the usual selection of indian food items and then some. Unlike a lot of other indian stores in the area, the store is very neat and clean. It is very well laid out. The staff are helpful and courteous. The store makes an effort to bring in interesting new items. Their chaat counter is great and my wife and I pick up curries and chapathis to go.
It’s centrally located in cupertino and parking is always easy to find. Also it’s never crowded.

Dropped in today to see if they had any Tumeric powder. I’m no expert, but it appears that they have a good selection of spices available. I know nothing about the Tumeric spice I was buying, but they had several different brands to choose from and all of the packages were much cheaper than what Amazon has to offer. So those are some great qualities of this place.
The bad news is that the youngish cashier had no interpersonal skills. He wouldn’t acknowledge me when I came up to the register, just kept staring down at the open till. When I offered a «hello», he turned to another customer and started talking to him. Even while in the middle of ringing me up, he stopped the transaction to deal with this other pushy customer. I don’t think it was something personal, just a lack of social skills. Should be doing stock in the back, not FOM. That cost 2 stars.

A vrey clean and organized Indian market. Spices, produce, frozen, refrigerated, pre made, snacks… you name it, they’ve got it if you’re looking for Indian goods. most similar places are kinda grungy and lackluster. ISB must have a lot of pride in their business as it’s a diverse one stop shop that represents the culture well.

This is new grocery store opened early this year near Safeway on Hollenbeck. We were amongst the first customers to go regularly to this store when it opened. The store is good and clean, initially they used to be short of certain items and upon repeated request could not stock the requested item and we had to visit other stores to get those.
Over the period of time the owner and people working at the store got over confident of their abilities and we faced rude behavior from them almost 3 – 4 times. Since then we have stopped going to this place.
Customer service is very bad and the owner needs to understand that customer should be treated properly.

This is a fairly new grocery store opened next to Madhura in the safeway complex on Hollenbeck .
it is the first Indian Grocery store that is clean, cares about appearance and listens to customer reviews.
The owner is always there and he takes care that you have a good shopping experience. He is very different from other Indian store owners who don’t give a damn about anything but profits. i say if you create a good customer rapport, a clean well inventoried store then i am sure you will have more profits
It has everything that i need — clean and fresh vegetables, indian grocery and cosmetics and if you don’t find something in the store just let the owner know and he will make all efforts to bring it in the store. My personal example was for Boondi — they only had udupi boondi that i just don’t like — i asked the owner if he had some other brand. he said that at the moment no — but if you can tell me what are the most popular 2 – 3 brands i can try and get them. I told him i like Grvi Gujarati and Halidram. next week Garvi Gujarati was in stock :) sweet itsnt it
next experience was about stone ground atta. they sampled out stone ground chakki fresh atta to customer– No other indian store does that. this is called initiative. though the atta was not so good full i am happy that someone is putting brains in running the business. I told the owner that the atta was not seen around
