Your run of the mill East Asian grocery store. It’s a balance between organized and unorganized shelves. The grocery section was organized, the housewares and utensils were not, and looked like they hadn’t been wiped down in a good while either. Decent selection of spices and groceries and honestly pretty good deals on bulk frozen food. Too bad we didn’t find what we were looking for.

Huge selection of Indian grocery and sweets. Feels like pretty much you're shopping in India. The service can be a bit better and the maintenance as well. They are very decently prices on most things. The veggies are usually fresh as well.

Being going to this place for a quite a while. Very spacious and what I like most is ampl parking space provided. Staff is quite friendly. Produce is relatively fresh. Clean too. Variety is quite good for an Asian store.

Some sections of store are very disorganized. Store is not clean. Frozen parathas were not frozen solid when I went to get them. That's an issue with product integrity. I had to dig in the freezer for frozen solid ones and found some. I am choosing to stay away from this store.

Very average Indian grocery store. The only plus point is that they are good size store with lots of stock. Everything else can be improved including cleanliness, customer service, proper layout etc. They have a small sweet shop and DVD corner inside the store with very average quality sweets. It's good to buy rice and non perishable items in bulk if they have a sale going on especially for Indian or Pakistani festivals.

staff has typical village attitude , doesn't smile , doesn't greet , if you cant find something , good luck with help ! And if you look south Indian .. you get the same attitude that you will expect in India FYI - Not every brown skin that come through your door are born in Punjab and not necessarily even from India , treat them with respect ! All it takes is one phone call to the AHS to let them know how shabby and smelly is your place ! and in not even mentioning the expiry date on products ! You own the store agree, but don't pretend you run a SuperMarket !

Its an OK place to buy East Indian grocery. Prices are reasonable. Beware of cheap tricks played by the store to sell you some ethnic fruit such as guava. If the guava fruit is fully ripe and almost unsuitable to eat, they freeze it to make it appear frim and hard. After going home you will realise that you were tricked into buying a soft and fully ripe fruit and you can't store it for more than 2-3 hr before eating it. If fresh fruits appear as if taken out of freezer don't by them. These kinds of cheap tricks are played by shop keepers in India. I guess this store is trying it here.

Not all the items are available especially Pakistani brands beside majority of the products are a bit expensive as compared to other desi stores

Stumbled upon this little gem while wandering around the area. Nice store, friendly staff. Large selection of fresh fruit and veggies. Lots of dried goods, like rices and flours. Spices. Found some amazing Bakhoor I'll be back
