Saraga International Grocery 2 — Attraction in Indianapolis

Wanted to give a review for this location it's not the biggest of the family of stores however they have been working hard on cleaning up the aisles rearranging them reorganizing them and getting more storage and updated coolers and freezers.

You have a short selection of all types of things again it's the smaller of its family of stores so it's not as big as the one on the far West side or as big as the newer 1 they just built from the ground up by Castleton square mall.

But that doesn't mean anything in the stance of the stores quality of products vegetables frozen foods fresh beef and meats and their seafood selection as well they have fresh and frozen seafood so plenty of options to look at they also have the Iowa with all the pots and pans and cups and oddities that you would use for cooking including Those gas stoves were propane stoves to be more correct and the propane canisters to go with them as well so he could find it all-in-one spot.

Stores kept clean and organized the best they can with the massive amounts of food coming in there that they sell out and groceries you can tell by the trucks that come and drop off the palates and they get it all put on the shelves very quickly without it being in they have admissions with people stealing carts so there is a fee like a 100 or a $150 if you're caught taking the cart off the property so don't still carts people.

But yes overall it's a great location has authentic items for your authentic cooking dishes and needs definitely try it out if you're in the...

If you are accustomed to the smell of fresh fish, butchered meat and ethnic foods cooking and an extensive spice selection, then you will not complain about the so-called smell. It doesn't smell like roses, it smells like an international store.

There are boxes that are in the way. Most of the employees don't speak English well. The music is in a foreign language. The check out line is sometimes long, but the positives out weigh the negatives.

This is NOT Fresh Thyme or Kroger. This is where I go for authentic African and Thai products.

The spice selection is amazing. They have sauces and noodles and so-called exotic fruits as well as grains from around the world. I love the frozen dinner selections and the international sweets.

If you need customer service, you are out of luck. You need to know what you came for or speak their language. The cashier speaks English very well but she isn't going to coddle you or chat you up. She will ring you up, period. That's her job! No one has ever been rude or made me feel unwelcome.

Unfortunately, this store is not very handicapped accessible. The set up inside the store does not allow me to maneuver in...

Parking is tight so put on your patience hat. It's worth it though, the prices and selection are fantastic! They have vast varieties of flours and spices that brings us there. Along with the produce, love ALL of the greens and fruits to choose from (and it's fresh & clean). I havent been brave enough to learn how to cook more international dishes yet but their fish market has loads of choices. You can find a few typical American fruits &veggies (apples, oranges & bananas...cukes, broccoli,carrots,potatoes &yams) but they stock way more than American grocery stores. Currently (Dec) they have Papayas as big around as your thigh, several large melons and citrus's. Varieties of eggplants, beans and other fun looking squash type veggies. Lots of green leafy plants and roots too, in large quantities but low prices. I get the sense that this Saragas serves a lot of Southern Asian clients (Vietnamese, Burmese etc) as well as Latin & Middle eastern cultures based on the food choices. Maybe that info will help if you're looking for a specific menu plan. I consider this a little gem hidden away in a corner of the...
