Desi Bazaar — Attraction in Manchester

Worst experience. I bought 40 lb rice bag mentioned as (anniversary foods premium quality) on July 22nd 2023. The bag had packed Date as apr 2023 and use before 24 months from the date of packaging.

Finally the owner came in a call and told lot of customers are bringing the rice bags complaining about bugs and they cannot give a refund and also gave an explanation that the use by date is only for store and not customers.

How to reach: From CWE take metro train, drop at Maplewood-Manchester station, take bus route 57 and drop and Manchester-Weidman Road crossing. Store is along with...
