Wonderful store. Extremely nice owners and employees and high quality products.

I keep trying to perfect my curry (its almost there) and this place has got all the right stuff for it!

The store was ill kept, poor choice of products. The fresh produce was terrible and lacked variety.

Clean and convenient Indian food store. Store is small, but has most frozen foods that you might crave. If you are one to cook from scratch, they have lot of packaged ingredients. They do not sell fresh vegetables and fruits, however.

I usually buy in bulk from Indian stores and being new here was about to visit Annapoorna. Some of the reviews about Annapoorna stores were bad, which can happen. But the owners responses to the bad reviews are absolutely rude. Now I will take my business elsewhere. Glad I read the reviews.

Wonderful owner who takes care of hi customers.

Decent India groceries though a bit overpriced

Good one to get indian groceries and vegetables. Managing people are very helpful. You can get pulses, legumes, masalas, dahi, rice, wheat, frozen foods including chapatis, gravies, cut vegetables. Only drawback is that some items are old and dusty. Some are very expensive like fresh curry leaves, and mint leaves.

Worst customer service.I have been to dozens of Indian Grocery store and the owner is the rudest person I have ever met. Glad he showed his color today so won’t be taking my and my friends’ business there anymore. Last month I drove an hour and spent $200 there and was about to spend almost same today. But had to leave after being humiliated by the owner. Took my business Bombay market who were very nice. People with self esteem should not go there. He has the worst attitude for a business owner. Never going back and recommend no one to go there. Maybe he treats people differently. Dont know how he got 4+ star in google. will give negative star if I could 👎👎👎👎👎

Small store but has product in both ingredient and frozen form. Prices are a little higher than other location, but food is more authentic, causing there to be oddity when they import American brands back into the stores f on distributors.Any purses or backpacks must be put down upon entering. This is by the door but also by the only register.Staff friendliness dependent on who is working. Here you will find authentic foods and much in bulk. Credit cards have a minimum that is small enough not to notice. Note; some of what seems to be a difference in friendliness is a difference in culture. Several languages are spoken by staff with ease.Store is clean. Do not put baskets on any of the freezers!Fresh foods are gone since Covid. There is no hand sanitizer available. Baskets are not cleaned off. Masks are required.No public restrooms or wheelchairs. I have never have seen children in the store. Advertisements for events are behind the counter. They do sell tickets to most events. Parking is free and close.Questions have always been answered politely. I have never seen anything expired or reduced price. Prices are sometimes marked only on shelves and not on the product. There has never been a line if more than 2 people no matter how busy the store. All bags are packed well.

The store has a big veriety of spices.They also have Halal frozen items. Prices of frozen halal items were a bit high.

Wonderful people, excellent customer service!!! Will definitely be back. Great prices!

I like cumin and to try different spices, and the store is good for that.

Love it! My favs are the frozen mango, mango yogurt, fresh mangos, the mint masala flavor chips, etc. So many great and delicious goodies!!!!!

Annapoorna is by far my favorite place here for Indian groceries. They are very well stocked and they have a commendable range of products. The store is organized well and that makes it easy to browse through their products. Also, uncle (the store owner) is really nice and warm to me every time I go there, so it’s always a pleasant experience. Besides, if you find that something you want isn’t there in the store and you ask him about it, he’ll procure it for you the following week.

This a great option for a small town like Champaign and is my go-to for Desi cooking needs. The uncle that works here is very helpful and knowledgeable. It definitely doesnt quite stack up to stores in Chicago or Southern California, but its solid. Products also seem fairly priced. I believe you can order halal meat from the store, too, on a weekly basis.

Nice

Complete range of all Indian groceries you could wish for and then some. I had tried other stores too but this one is now my favorite and my go-to place for Indian groceries. The uncle who owns the store is very nice and so much fun to talk to. If the store is out of something, you can tell him about it and he will bring it for you the following week.

There isnt a great variety of Indian food available. I couldnt find any green leafy vegetables.

Owner is attentive, products are fresh, store is very clean.

Very good store for small town. No problem finding items. Owner is very nice.

Its like a normal indian store but with lot less variety that there is supposed to be. It has all the indian spice and ready to cook boxes, which is great. All over as a person who cooks indian food at home, i think its the only place where ill find what im looking for in campus town.

Good Indian store with all the Indian food types and wide variety of frozen foods.

Good small Indian store for quick grocery

Good place on campus to find Indian food like lentils, rice, flour, spices, pickles, packaged snacks, frozen flat bread, frozen curry. Prices are moderate and on high side in comparision to chicago, but the best in town. Would love to see them expanding the store by introducing more items.

The selection is not very large but the items that they have are definitely all the basics and things you would expect at an international market. The staff is helpful if you need help finding something and they actively keep the shelves stocked at all times.

I am a regular shopper at this store and the gentleman that runs the store is always very helpful in finding ingredients and even helping me with my kids. He goes out of his way to make sure I have everything needed. The store is small but they have a great selection and I will keep going back for the friendly service. Thank you!

Good shop to buy indian goods located within campus town .

Decent place to get indian ingredients. You get mostly everything you’re looking for be it snacks, frozen food or spices. Owners are helpful and friendly.

Most Indian ready foods, Paratha, rotis, and dosa batter, even shrikhand is available

Good service. Fresh items. Neat and clean

The owner( male) is very irritating and cheap. By mistake I picked up 2 plastic bag for 1 vegetable, he looked at me in a very rude way. When I was leaving the store, I was waiting for my brother who was behind me holding all the bags, the owner said please close the door in 2 seconds. Not great and expensive as well.

Decent collection of Indian food/groceries. Owner makes it a job to know more about the customers and converse with them. Good service!

Very helpful staff good selection good food. Excellent chicken seekh kababs. Best brand of coconut water Ive ever tasted by far.

This is my favorite place to shop for ingredients for Indian cuisine. Ive been here several times and Ive always been helped and pleased with their recommendations.

The store is typically well stocked but with the additional 10% off for students at Mirsung that is less than 4 blocks away, going here seems like a waste. The store is also a little small and riddled with cameras making it a slightly weird experience shopping in the Midwest.

This is my regular store to pick up parathas, samosas as well as bulk rice and spices. Things are reasonably priced here.

Excellent service and a big range of Indian groceries!

Best quality and fresh everything i love this place a lot :) :)

Please avoid buying groceries here if you’re new to Champaign. The prices are unreasonably high and you can get the same items (or rather more variants of the same brand) elsewhere in town. The other stores have competitive pricing in comparison to Annapoorna Stores and also offer options like pick up-drops, additional discounts on orders above 30$. I once found the dosa pack with the sticker of almost double the price ( originally $1.99). On requesting for discount, the owner was rude and arrogant in tone. Not student or customer friendly at all! I suggest go to other stores around that have way more to offer in terms of customer care and auntheicity.

They have a decent selection but dont always have what I need in stock when I go there. They are friendly, but its also crazy that there is tax on everything at any Indian store here in Champaign (not how it is back home in CO at the Indian stores) but overall a decent place to get Indian lentils and spices.

I just went there today and the person running the place was very friendly and helpful. They had a fresh selection of vegetables for Indian cooking and all other grocery items. (I saw a negative review on this site, but that was made a few years back. From what I saw, that review is inaccurate at the present time)

Prices are high as compared to our home place NJ but being very little choice you have to pay whats available. Not many options available in this store. Very small outlet

Very nice owner, gave words of encouragement for cooking

Students are shopping more. Keeping small packets of few items will be more helpful because of space constraint and carrying problems. More South Indian ready mix items will also help.

The best store near uiuc campus to purchase all the essential Indian groceries, frozen food and snacks.

Pretty good variety of indian products at reasonable prices

Its an good Indian grocery store, with most of the items required for cooking Indian food. Also packed/ frozen chapati, dosa, idli, paratha, Indian vegetables, sweets are readily available. However, you may find the same goods for cheaper rates in Chicago, but I guess this is not a bad option considering Chicago is 300 miles from Champaign.

Wide range of variety . Super happy to have found this place :)

Good selection of Indian goods, nice pricing

Easily available Indian food items with good variety ..but abit expensive than other indian stores . But still considerable .

Not bad except that we cannot use credit card for smaller purchases.

Good Indian food stuff available at this friendly shop

I found all my needs.... very much organized.. try samosa here..

Although you get alot of spices here but its expensive. Couldnt find the vegetables other than those available at Walmart/Meijer

Nice small Indian food store, with really cheap but good quality spices sold in large quantities. Seriously you can buy a lb of hot pepper for the price of 4oz from the grocery store.

Kind owners, all kinds of raw ingredients and prepared foods from india.

Friendly staff who know where everything is. Fresh vegetables every Thursday!

It was okay, but not that great produce and a bit expensive

This is not an Asian market, it specializes in Indian ingredients.Most Koreans may not know masala, but we have an abundance of basmati rice / spices.They sell instant curry / Indian desserts, so if you are interested, you may want to visit.
