I went to the The India Bazaar which is located inside the Los Colinas Plaza. I just love this place. I've actually gone past it many times and never knew it was there. I decided to drive through to see what was in this shopping center. And I'm so happy that I did.
Rambling, sorry... The India Bazaar is located in the shopping center behind Quik Trip (off O'Conner and 183 hwy). It has a large parking lot that's clean and well kept. And the parking spaces are large so door dings shouldn't be a problem. When walking into the double doors of the shopping center, you'll find the grocery baskets to the right and then another set of double doors that lead into the actual indian market. The first thing I always notice is that distinct smell of Indian herbs and spices. Amla, Coriander, Moringa, and Ginger....
The store appears to be clean. And at first glance, it also appears to be fairly neat. There is the occasional pile of boxes in the isle where restocking is being done. But that's any store, right? I assume that there are a lot of customers who go down the isles, pick up items to read ingredients or something, and simply throw them back because several item/displays appeared to be disheveled. (This was my second time to the store).
I always go to Indian markets for the wonderful variety of herbs. And it's no exaggeration to say that I pay half of what I normally pay at other more popular stores. I purchased Amla, Shikakai, Aloe Vera, Noni, Bitter Gourd, Turmeric, Ginger, Blackseeds, Methi, Ashwagandha, Henna, Coconut Oil š„„, Olive Oils, and a bunch of other things. I also take pictures of items I'm interested in and research them later. I'm studying Ayurvedic herds, etc.
The store does have a refrigerated section and a counter in the back, although I've never paid attention to what's offered there. There's never been a long wait at all. Literally less than 3 minutes. All in all, I love this store. And again, if you want to explore a wonderful variety of Indian herbs and spices, this is your store. I do...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI visited the Tom Thumb and Starbucks inside the grocery store at this location and I love the fact that I can get my favorite Starbucks and enjoy it while grocery shopping. This grocery store is well stocked and has a very nice selection of items in the bakery and deli section and even though they were very helpful they weren't as friendly. Out of all the staff that I encountered the only one who was friendly was the cashier. With the exception of the construction out front on the only entrance in and out of the shopping center making it very hard to get out of I would definitely come back if I'm ever back in the Los...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf you haven't been to Tom thumb go there, they are located right next door to Tom thumb. There is ample parking at this establishment. Look for the sign that says Miracle-Ear, it is right above the building in a grayish color. But you must look carefully or you may just pass them by. They are truly friendly I do feel that they are ready to really help you get your hearing back. I was truly blown away by the fact that I could hear things that I probably haven't heard for 20 years after just a...
