Read the bad reviews first before leaving my review. I have returned rice to Costco because there were rice bugs in the bag. I have purchased spoiled food at Ralph's and returned it. That happens with perishables. They perish. The quality of this store is superb.
Ever wanted to buy a huge frozen fish, they have them. Want authentic indian food and spices. This is the spot. The last two nights I have been purchasing their ready made food. Rice and a meat option plus two vegetable options. The food is unbelievably flavorful. I have never enjoyed indian cuisine as I have the last two nights.
I would be very surprised about any kind of food poisoning here as the food is really very fresh and they love what they do. I have had some bad experiences in the past with restaurants I continue to frequent. Because food poisoning is very difficult to determine as it can take upto 24 hours to show symptoms. So far all is well and this is my new favorite local restaurant. I hope everyone gives them a try. You will not be disappointed. Also indian cuisine is rich in spices and ingredients that non Indians would definitely have difficulty digesting. Trying food this authentic can easily upset a tummy. I am of slavic origin and had a terrible time the first few times I had sushi. I never could understand why everyone loved it so much. No I know to avoid california rolls and sushi rich in mayo.
After reading a review from a Pakistani claiming that the owner went on a Bengladash Pakistan rant about some conflict. Makes no difference to the quality of the food or the store. There are some people in this neighborhood that would go out of their way to attempt and destroy another's reputation. I really hope you try the store as you will be very...
Read moreMy experience with this spot is comical if not a bit sad. The food is reasonably priced and tasty though a bit inconsistent at times. The service, on the other hand, is another story. Like the owners of this establishment, my family is also from the Indian subcontinent. The lady who helped me (who I assume is Nadia) asked where I was from. I said I'm born and raised here in the States, but my folks are from India and Pakistan (Delhi and Lahore). She immediately launched into a tirade about the atrocities Pakistan committed against Bangladesh. I tried to be understanding and sympathetic (that war was brutal and horrible and most of the atrocities were committed by Pakistan) but she wouldn't let go of it. Super awkward. I mean my folks moved here in the 1950's. What am I supposed do? I said Salaams a few times which she refused to respond to and got the heck out of there. Funny, sad and really awkward all at once. Maybe Nadia is just a character. She reminds of some insufferable auntie who happens to cook well. I'll probably go back. The lamb was exceptional this time...
Read moreCame here looking for halal chicken wings. Turns out they don't even sell them. The halal meat section looked like a joke and it was very, very difficult to communicate with the meat section handler/butcher. He also wasn't even present when we arrived at around 7 in the evening on Sunday. Had to call out several times. Actual aisles seem nice - good selection of jelly mixes and National sauces. Besides halal chicken wings, I was truly interested in purchasing tea india tea bags that I had heard great things about. I found a wide selection of tea here, including tea india in cardamom, ginger, and orange pekoe flavors. They even had a wide variety of instant chai packet cases in both unsweetened and sweetened versions, including vanilla and masala flavors. Lovely! Beware, everything is a tad pricey though. One box of 72 tea india teabags costs $5.99. That's just too much. It is also, overall, a small store. I only spent 10 minutes tops in the entire store, so my visit was not at all...
