Everything you will need for home-made Indian food, you will find it here. The place does not look big but trust me, it is big enough to house everything you will generally want. The people are also super friendly and they will help you a lot to the best of their abilities

A hidden gem! very friendly, helpful staff, excellent prices (better than Amazon!) on most goods, and the guy behind the counter sells delicious homemade samosas

Their freshly made samosas are terrible. really dont buy them. Leave them for me to buy instead. Hehe. They are so delicious. The proprietor is also the nicest man on earth and he has a great son. Love this place. Great place.

Excellent staff and help finding everything I needed and more! Everyone was so friendly and there was an excellent selection to choose from. Thank you!

One of my favorite stores in Durham. Great prices, awesome selection, and good quality. Always found service to be very friendly and helpful. Fingers crossed you go in when they have fresh samosas for sale as well!

I had Wish purchase sent to store. Pick up was quick and easy. Will use again in future.

We were visiting Durham NC and we went to Spice Bazaar and we purchased fresh veges and grocery . Mr James was very helpful in locating Kerala products and options . Well priced and good store to shop Indian grocery. Will definitely shop and recommend Spice Bazaar .

A staple store for me in Durham! For my 2 years in Durham, I was dependent on Spice Bazar for all my Indian groceries. They have it all! James Joseph, the owner, is a very kind person and will really help you out. Definitely recommend to all people who’d like to get their hands on some Indian food!

I didnt notice, but the man sold expired Soda (Limca) to me. This is ridiculous.

Been shopping here for a long time and James and his family are very helpful

Very nice customer Service. Veggies are fresh and clean. All food items are available. Samosas are very good. Owner and staff are welcoming and simply great ! Definitely would recommend.

If you are looking for something special, a good price and with a little of everything, this bazaar has it and with excellent customer service.

Great source of Indian groceries. We get all our dosa, samosa, and tomato chutney from them.

Place is good for the variety of items but most doesnt have price/tag and it is never open on the time it says it should be at 10AM.

Very good people ,very good place,very good price

Take a trip to India in this family owned market you will find everything spices flavor Aromas from India and the owner Mr james is alway ready to help the customerYou will find Variety of product fresh and excellent quality

Good collection of everything Desi. You will find every spice and anything else you may need for Desi food.

Wonderful store! Fresh samosas and coffee! Great customer service, when you walk in you are welcomed with a friendly smile and I had a great time exploring there variety of different products! I highly recommend!

My favorite store. Whether its the variety of fresh vegetables, the personalized service, or the recipe sharing, I know I will enjoy both the products and the experience.

This was my first time in the store I enjoyed it so well I bought a friend girl back the next day she enjoyed herself also we had great customer service will plan to go back again soon

They have the best mangoes and chapatis

Very nice Especially halal foods.I like it

Spice Bazaar has an excellent selection for all flavors of Indian cuisine and more. The products have never been disappointing. Moreover, the prices are extremely reasonable and the owners are exceptionally nice and provide excellent customer service. They are always kind and want to help in any way possible. I would recommend this place to anybody!

Always find items I am looking for.It really is in a good location for me.

Recently moved here from the Seattle area, and we came in to stock up on dried chickpeas, spices, paneer, etc. They have a good selection of dried/canned goods plus some fresh veg. The owners were quite friendly. We were also pleasantly surprised to see that they had samosas for sale at the checkout counter. Definitely coming back!

Great store in Durham for all your desi grocery needs! :)

Have most stuff youll need from a pk/Indian store

Great selection of spices. Mr. Joseph gave us superior customer service. Very nice and knowledgeable of his products. Were learning to cook with these spices and he was able to satisfactory answer our questions and made some suggestions. Mr. Joseph made our visit an enjoyable shopping experience.

Great place for spicy Indian curry and masala. Very friendly owner. Helps you locate items and always fresh produce.

Great service

Owner is super friendly and speaks a dozen languages

Spice Bazaar is a very good place to get all kinds of different spices you might want. They also have a lot of things to give as gifts. The owner is very nice and helpful if you need anything answered while youre in

Excellent service and nice place for shopping

Material are good product and service are excellent better communication felt at home

This is an excellent Indian store, especially for new comers from India to US, I get everything that I used to get in India and this wont let you miss anything in terms of groceries and food. I like their fresh Samosa with Tea to have it there fresh and hot.

Wonderful store, I think family owned and operated? Everyone is always so nice and helpful. Great selection of whole spices at fair prices. Much rather buy here than from who knows where online.

This store gets a 5 star rating.The store itself has a wide variety of Asian foods to choose from. But what really made me like this store was the friendliness of the owners. The owner and his family members were extremely helpful and kind. They give good suggestions on foods to try and have very reasonable prices. I will definitely be returning.

Have all items required. Stores need to be organized properly for ambiance to get 5 stars

Spice Bazaar is a great little family owned shop in Durham. The store is always full and the owner and his family are super friendly. Many times they gave me free foods to try! Really gives the feel of going to a true Eastern Bazaar atmosphere, where you get to know the owner and he gets to know you. Prices are great too! If you are into Indian/Pakistani groceries and live in Durham, this is, or will soon be, your place to go!

This is a small family-owned grocery store. If you start shopping here it wont be long until everyone recognizes you and knows what kind of things you are coming to shop here for. I imagine that Spice Bazaar is the kind of shopping experience that people had in America in the middle of the last century. It is a welcome alternative from the big box stores but the ones that exist right across the street. And theres almost always fresh samosas for sale at the cash register.

Very good

Nearest store in Durham, most of india grocery available.

Great selection. Masks required.

They had mostly everthing I needed for my hair cair...

Great store, friendly owner, and a lot oof great food....The ginger (check the fridge) is the freshest ginger Ive found anywhere in the triangle. Dont leave without a samosa.

Great selection of food and spices

Great produce!

I’ve always had excellent experiences here. Great selection and friendly service! I keep coming back to happily support them.

The owner was wonderful and introduced me to plantain chips!

The shop is very small and congested. It keeps xpired items too. Frozen chicken is more expensive than fresh ones found in other halal places.

Decent selection of Indian groceries, but lags way behind when compared to Around the World or Patel Brothers. If youre in a hurry or need something basic, this is a good place. But, if you need variety or any speciality item, go to any of the two places mentioned above!

Huge selection, great prices and Excellent customer service. Love it!

Owners are wonderful folks! Extremely helpful & kind! Family-run store! Good inventory selections!

Great Indian market with some of the best freshly made samosas that Ive ever eaten. Its a good thing I dont live closer, because I think Id go there every day for lunch.

This is a favorite grocery store for me and my family members. I can purchase popular Pakistani and Indian grocery brands from Spice Bazaar. The owner is super friendly. It is hard to find this level of customer service from other stores!

Could be better organized. Prices are a bit high as well. Otherwise well stocked.

They have almost everything.. very nicely managed store. 100% Marks for hospitality. :)

Please check it carefully before purchasing any products. I once got amul cheese which had fungus on it which I understand that sometime it slips away from a small business owner to keep an eye on every single product. But then recently I bought potato chips (one you eat when youre fasting) and it has bugs all over it. I personally would not be shopping here but would definitely suggest others to check the product before they purchase

I had a great experience here. The owner is very social and chatted with me over chai and banana chips. Its well priced and stocked.

Package pickup location, the people are nice.

Store is not well organized and they are selling everything very expensive double the price

It has all one wishes for homely feel from maggi to frooti to all spices and even pressure cooker

My go to Indian grocery shop. The owners are wonderful and always offer a fun conversation (and free chai!). I inevitably bump into people I know, so win-win!

Good place to buy Indian grocery items. Staff is very friendly

A great place to get all things Indian! i always get everything on my list there ...Awesome Indian coffee as well, and some friendly banter :) James the owner is a great guy,he and his wife always make an effort to help out the customer ..I would recommend it to all

Good Indian stuff. Everything we need we get it from here!

Have been going there for the last three years - has everything!! Love their fresh Samosas!!!

You can get all kinds of Indian spices here and the staff is really friendly too. They always give me some tea or samosa or some other snack as a gift.

Great store. I buy yellow raisins, Karelia pills, samosas, herbal toothpaste and fresh vegetables and nan

Good Indian store though less variety than comparable markets like Around the World and Patel Brothers.

Seems like a very nice place, a bit to cramped.. and very limited products

In the 10 minutes I was there for the first time today I fell in love with Jamess kindness and charisma. He taught me about cherishing lifes moments because this is all weve got. I bought henna paste and nag champa. Both are awesome.An update to the henna review specifically, I would choose a different kind of henna because this one is a little runny, and doesnt smell good.The nag champa incense is perfect though ♡

Good place to find flavors from all around the world

The best Indian Store in Durham NC. It is very good and very neat. And whoever dares say anything bad about spice bazaar, They will know what is the best thing about spice bazaar. The reason why I say this is because he gives free samosas and chai. Both have A VERY GOOD COMBINATION. Then even though they have expired stuff, The owner cares about it and he will remove. James I belive is the name of the owner is the best. Other indian stores I probably give 1 star but this store should get 10 stars if it was the thing.

I generally don’t write reviews, but felt like I should write one, since I see someone intentially trying to harm and bad mouth a small family run store. I am neither a relative nor a family member of the owners of spice bazaar .I have been living in Chapel Hill for last 1.5 years and have been visiting Spice Bazaar ever since. We used to buy fresh chips and samosas every time. We never found that bad and even my 20 month old child likes it .No parent will give bad food to their child. Shop owner always uses tongs/gloves to get samosas and chips. Be assured if anyone use hands I will never buy.It’s a small and decent store and it’s been a good place for people in and around Chapel Hill to buy Indian food items.After reading the bad review below, I feel like the person visited this place several times in the past and looks like had fallout with some one and decided to badmouth. If you don’t like samasos and chips please don’t buy, but there are other people in the community who likes and love to eat it.Anyway, Spice Bazaar please continue with the good work you are doing and bring the Samosas back asap.

Great guys. Polite and pleasant to talk to

The man who runs the store was very helpful and threw in some free incense with our 60+ dollar transaction, they have good henna, tea and legit Indian food, everything is authentic.

Very helpful & friendly service, great selection, reasonable prices.

One stop shop for all your spice needs! Great people!

Spice Bazaar is a pretty filthy grocery store that sells expired food and the seller over-charges for the items. I asked the seller about this and he was very rude saying that he can sell / charge whatever he wants since there are no receipts / records to keep track of, in most cases. Pretty arrogant and unethical in my opion. I will never come to this store again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I have been and kinda have to go to this place because this is the only closest place to buy Indian stuff but unfortunately their items are expired and still for sale. The owner is charming bit does not keep record of products that are stale, one year beyond their expiry dates such as Knorr Soup, Chings Masala, packs of Bhelpuri.I hope they are more cautious/conscious.

The selection and food here is great, lots of fun ethnic things to try out and the home-made samosas are fabulous. The owner seemed a bit over friendly to my gf but never really been an issue and we go in there a lot.

Nice variety. Some things a little pricey

U get whatever grocery ure looking for here, n at a reasonable price.

Very friendly store, good selection of frozen items and prepared spice mixes.

Very good places for indian stuff

Gotta try the Somosas!!!! Great place!!

A nice family business

Good range of spices.

The storekeeper sells packaged frozen goods that have not been adequately frozen in storage. As a result, the food being sold is sometimes “re-frozen” stuff. When my wife reported this issue to the storekeeper, he made a sad face and said that his shop had experienced a power failure as a consequence of which the entire products being stored in the freezer had thawed out and frozen again. He did not reimburse us for our purchases (approx.. $21) but offered instead two samosas ($1.98) in goodwill. On another occasion, she requested two packets of frozen Aaloo paranthas (potato flat bread); he said he would personally fetch those for her and tried to rip her off by putting one Aaloo parantha packet over a plain parantha packet. Apparently, he had only one packet of the former and tried to fob her off with a different kind of bread. Luckily, she called him on it. During Eid, we purchased a packet of phirni. It was so old, that when we opened the packet the rancid smell was such that we had to wrap the phirni in a separate bag and leave it outside our house. My wife also bought 2 packets of frozen Shrikhand (sweet, thick yogurt) during Janmashtami and found out later that the packet had expired. It tasted like cardboard. Lastly, when we wanted to buy a little bit of plantain chips for the first time, his teenage son was behind the counter. The son looked at his dad and asked him which paper bag to use. The storekeeper replied in Malyalam, use the largest bag and charge her. He didn’t realize that my wife is a south Indian myself and could understand what was being said! The storekeeper has no ethics whatsoever. Do not let him take advantage of you.

Has most of your indian needs. James is very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. They deliver too!

Goods didnt seem fresh. Place wasnt very organized. The cashier asked for cash as our total wasnt very high (which credit card networks dont seem to allow)

Many nice Indian food items

My stop by shop whenever I need amla
