India Sweets & Grocery — Local services in Torrance

Update: July 29, 2021. My wife bought 10 samosas, 2lb Pakorey and Gulab jamuns which we took to our friend place so we could enjoy lunch together. Worst experience ever see details below:

It was the most embarrassing when my friend served us the food which we brought from this shop.

1. gulab jamuns tasted like uncooked flour and had disgusting taste that none of us was able to swallow even one bite. All had to be trashed.
2. pakora were very dark looked like reheated in oil and didn’t taste good either. Might be stale from last night left overs reheated and served to us. We trashed the pakoras.
3. samosa were not good either but still edible that we ate half of it. On scale of 1 to 10 I would rate 3 with 10 being max. Bland samosa with almost no crunchy crust.

This was extremely bad experience and it does not stop here. I called the restaurant and shared my experience the owner replied that she just tasted one and gulab jamun aren’t that bad and exact wording “ eeny burey v nahi” see what a pity, owner is saying these aren’t that bad it means they are bad 100% They are in self denial and when I asked for refund she said no sorry. Come to our shop we can have a talk. I replied $50 wasted and this is the last time me and friends in Torrance will give them business.

Their attitude was like we don’t care, Indian customers do have options in Torrance so they will eventually only come here. But word of mouth and what you serve speaks for itself and on top of it extremely poor customer service and self denial owner.

Hopefully no other customer have to go through this experience. All my friends and family in Torrance will share this experience even though it is neighborhood shop we are not ever going here again.

Stop cooking bad Indian food and stop serving stale food and at least improve the...

I love India Sweets & Grocery. The take out restaurant (no indoor seating) is the best for vegetarian Indian food. The food is delicious and the price is LOW compared to other Indian food places. I am in Hermosa Beach and would go to a spot there on the hwy. But they loaded everything with potato and the prices are so high. I go only when I crave some chicken Korma. Besides having delicious Samosas and vegetarian options. They have a wonderful tea section in the grocery. I stock up on everything from around the world. They offer a vast selection of spices also. Sometimes there is a little line to order food so go before you're starving 😋 I also suggest you try some of their Indian cookies and sweet treats in their bakery section. AMAZING!! I just wish they would serve chicken and lamb but it's ok. I still LOVE India Sweets & Grocery! Make sure you give it a try!! I currently have my dad addicted to the food. He loves the sweet sauce and saag paneer, Baingan Bharta, samosa and more. Just GO you will thank me for...

WORST PLACE EVER - PLEASE AVOID - "ALL POSITIVE REVIEWS HERE ARE FAKE"

There are couple of things I would like to bring to everyone's notice

1. Beware of products you purchase, Half them are with expired dates. Please keep in mind on your and beloved ones health.
2. The person(with white beard) is very rude.He neither smiles or talks.
3. They don't care of you at all. I had a bad experience in past where my card was blocked due to some fraud activity and I was running short of 4 dollars, I told him I will pay and collect the things later, He would not agree. He wants me to pay and take the groceries. I had to wait with Wife and Kid for 30mins until I borrow money from my friend.
4. Food has no salt or spice at all, looks like the main cook is from Mexican

I later switched to another Indian store - "All Indian Sweets & Snacks" 20916 Hawthrone Blvd, based on friends recommendation and which is much better. I feel like eating home food. It is a...
