Gokul Farmers Market — Local services in Absecon

I would like to take the opportunity to share my experience at the New Gokul Indian Supermarket in Absecon. This place is nothing short of Amazing! If you are looking for fresh and also exotic vegetables, this is the place! Spices, products that have very little additives, and food I've never even seen before! To top it off the staff was amazing and must have answered 5 questions I had. It is a GEM in the community. Everyone seemed to have a smile on their face, and even the music was great! I remember hearing a techno-like song followed by a traditional style Indian song. The shoppers were a total mix of cultures and I love it! This is a great example of a community based business. Upon checkout they have us a sample of mango ice cream and a rose (yes ROSE) infused sparkling water. Even the man gatheing carts took time out to talk to customers. Please patronize this business! The ONLY drawback we had to make a second trip to ShopRite to get meat, seafood and pet supplies, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me! Just know before you go. I got two big reusable ShopRite bags filled to the brim for only $70! This is how stores used to be back in the day, And I am so glad to not only have a taste of culture in the area, but nice people who take the time to help you. A+! I will...

This was our first visit to Gokul, the Indian supermarket in Absecon, NJ. We had been making an Indian meal and were looking for black mustard seeds. There is off street parking and although the entrance of store is a bit congested and disorganized we know enough not to judge a book by its cover! The store itself has a large number of Indian staples and everything you could want for the home cook, if you are adventurous enough. We were particularly impressed with the owner and staff who are warm and friendly and more than willing to help you find what you need. We were very happy to find Paneer in large quantities and excellent prices and an array of Poppadoms with every spice you could imagine. The two spices we were looking for were far cheaper than anywhere else. There is a large selection of Indian ice cream and we would choose the Gulab Jamun flavor for a special occasion, but at $10.00, it a bit pricy. We chose some Indian sweets for dessert instead and they were very nice. No doubt we will be...

This is not the biggest place to get groceries. In fact i wonder why they call it a supermarket more like a minimarket. But i think thats why this place is soo great like i been to many indian markets/stores. Before and this is probably my favorite out of all of them mostly because its soo clean and and easy to go around infact you could come here for the first time and come back again like a week or so and you would know where evrything is. Even tho its small you could find everything you need also there are bads for your fruits and vegetables and there are noo bugs in sight great place. The people there are nice and even if you don't know where something is they would show you or tell you where its is. The problem is there are no bathrooms and thats all. Ohh and the the...
