Good Indian grocery store. Lots of choices.

I purchase ingredients for soap making and beard grooming products and they have variety of spices and powders of spices.I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not of their culture that they don’t speak or help you.I want to find another place similar with more hospitality due to patronizing your means to live.

My preference had always been Patel over house of spices from quality standpoint..over the very marginal cost difference that you may see merely exist at times..reason being, historically they have a very bad practice of mixing rotten produce along with fresh produce which was supposed to thrown off or discarded.. the only time you can buy okay kind of produce is on the weekend, but make sure you are diligent enough to pick the right ones..we bought ready made grand sweets paste and also found it was expired way long back.. today I found this when my daughter grabbed some bar to chew see the attached picture.. I feel these are not incidental but I am getting to feel being done purposely.. and I also hate the rude behavior of management while I love those staffs..I must also say we like the 10% discount on Monday on grocery

I was here with my family to buy some Indian condiments from this store. There are couple of more stores like this in the same area and also few Indian restaurants. This store is quite big, well organized and you get practically everything which is Indian. Vegetables, fruits spices, frozen food, sweets ice cream and what not. We got everything we wanted. They store some over the counter Ayurveda medicines as well. All famous brands of spices are available. Cashier is very rude though. Other staff is also like who cares..! Next ddor is Patel Indian grocery store as well.

It’s just 3 minutes drive from Patel Brothers market. You can find a lot of North and South Indian dishes. Pav Baji stands first among the dishes.

The place is still under construction (maybe expanding). The aisles are not clearly marked. The prices of most of the items were marked. Wide variety of rice types available. Staff members were not very helpful. Improbable place.

I would like to give the Owner -10 star if I can, VERY RUDE PERSON ! , follows you everywhere like you are going to steal something !. Will not let you touch anything if you are not going to buy it !. Love the staff and the Laxmi Brand but please get rid of the owner , or lock him up in the back !. Business is about repeat clients, they will not come back if he is rude like this all the time.

I recommend this store ☝️

Parking is fine. Spices, pulses, flour and rice are at better price always. Vegetables too better and not all the times.Shop atmosphere is not that good as compared to Patels and Apna Bazar. Patels will be small and appears packed with people always.

Good place to buy Indian groceries...gives student discount like all other places but here you have to tell them that you are student in advance otherwise they will not give discount. Staff behind the counter are not that polite. Thats the only reason for my 4 star. House of spice...you can do better. God bless.

Decent prices. Nice availability. I like this place for my Indian groceries and vegetables. Also 10% off on most of the items on Mondays is really faultless. I wish they have fresh vegetables stock back up again on Mondays too ..

Review №54

One of the biggest Indian grocery store in this area. Infact their facility is bigger than the other Indian grocery store in this area, Patel Brothers.However they loose on a 5 rating due to their pricing, most of the spices, lentils etc. are priced a little on the higher side compared to Patel.They could do very well if they offered competitive pricing to their best in class and huge facility.

Review №61

One stop shop for Indian grocery and kitchen stuff. They offer reward program along with 10% off only on Mondays on total amount spent. Only drawback is expiry date. They keep manipulating the actual expiry date of the product. So carefully observe and read the date before buying. Some of the sale items too have this issue. Other than this drawback, store is good, spacious with friendly staff. Enough parking space with some good Indian eateries and clothing stores nearby.

Please check when you buy stuff here...Though some items seems good but those are not. We bought basmati rice and found worms like in the picture. Bought coconut which is spoiled and rotten. Bought one time frozen parata which is spoiled(For which they Gave alternative). Again please check all the products throughly.

Store is good and people who work there are helpful. But beware of the ones who are at the cash counters especially the slim, tall lady with spectacles. Very often she manipulates the bill. That happened to me many times with this lady. Recently i purchased cilantro worth 50 cents but she keyed in another item that was worth $2.39 cents. On another day, the carrot price was replaced by mango price. This is not all about money but trust and house of spices fails miserably in providing the trust. I hope the owner is listening!!! or else be prepared to face consequences

They need significant improvement in their product quality and customer relations. Low cost Wheat flour is super low quality, don’t even think of buying it just because of the price. Same low quality with all ON SALE items.

Good, stock, but not very welcoming of friendly. I feel awkward in this store- not welcomed, but not ignored, and certainly not helped in anyway. I wish it were a better environment and more welcoming- there have a massive stocks of various things to explore, if you can feel comfortable and relaxed being in the store.
