UMA FOODS — Local services in Ross Township

Selling expired goods and increased prices of everything . I understand that everything got increased due to recession but they are just trying to make more money taking advantage as they don’t have any other store nearby places for competition. I heard from lot of my friends that the lady in the counter is not very nice to customers . It’s a review specially for the lady : Hy lady , please be patient with customers. If you are not enough capable of managing customers, please just don’t stand at the cashier place and hire someone who have enough patience. You are responsible to answer customers who got back to you regarding expired goods and it’s your responsibility to accept $1 bills does not matter if it’s a $10 in total or $20 in total. If you are not enough capable of counting those bills, try to learn math or atleast keep a board saying that you don’t accept bills of $1. And again, this is my first time...

I was there today the lady at front desk it’s extremely rude person, their items are expired when I told her that I want to return what I just purchased the claimed that they only offer exchange not a return ,then I asked why on their receipt states differently she said can you read English I said yes but doesn’t match what you’re saying and she said well that’s our policy for over 15 years now. When I did the exchange I had to pay $0.50 cents and she won’t let me use my credit card she said it’s only $0.50 cent just give me a $1 I said but I don’t want to break my dollar I don’t like having changes in my purse when I can use my card she said no just give me a $1 bcs this machine will charge more I was shocked on top of everything she now dictates of what I am paying so definitely not turning back...

I don’t understand the hype around Uma Foods in Merrillville. This place is a total rip-off. The prices are insanely high—almost double compared to other Indian stores in the area. It honestly feels like they’re taking advantage of people who don’t want to drive to Chicago. I saw basic items like rice, lentils, and snacks priced way above what you’d find at any decent Indian grocery store. On top of that, the staff didn’t seem to care or offer any kind of explanation when I asked about the pricing. The store isn’t even that clean or organized to justify the markup. Definitely not going back—there are far better and more reasonably priced...
