Patel Brothers

I live in a neighborhood comprised mostly of Indian descents. This grocery store is a popular stop for them especially on weekend. An Indian friend suggested of how good their Basmati rice is. The place have the whole isle of different kind of rice, half of the stocks are basmatis. When I asked a local shopper which is the best brand the store carries, she just smile and said, «all has same quality». So I asked her, «what do you get personally?». She said, «I get different kind each time». That doesn’t help me at all.
This store carries all the possible needs of each Indian consumer., their breads, their spices etc. The store carries American basic needs too but has a very competitive pricing. Just go to your regular grocery store for that. They carry Asian vegetables and fruits and I felt home for that. The pricing though is way expensive comparing to a Chinese supermarket.
The cashier was not friendly enough to motivate me to comeback. The parking is a nightmare. The place is big but need proper maintenance. Has second thoughts of coming back.

I salivate before even walking through the door and if I’m hungry it’s dangerous.
Fully stocked for the Hindi gourmand or frozen or pre prepared for those who are clueless about getting their ghee on.
They have a great bazar section and little chatchkes for every occasion.
I love the people who work here they make you feel like a stranger in a foreign land, turban, bindi, sari bejeweled beautiful people.
The fruit is exotic and epic size fruits and veggies.
In a section that has plenty of Hindi offers.

Very expensive. These guys charge double triple prices for everything, veggies, lentils, rice. Specially tea. Whole world sells it for 3.99 their price goes up to 6.99 sometimes. staff is good but patels themselves are rude.

Very unfriendly to ‘non ethnic” people. They need to have if they do not already a full time exterminator. Be very cautious that you do not bring home multi legged creatures.
Needed some specialities for a party but will never return.
Parking is side streets (local residents curse at you even when you don’t block their driveways) or munimeter.

They always have what I want and need in stock. Love this place.

This Indian chain store is bigger with more selections than other stores in the area. Not a fancy place by any means but you will find food items such as Indian breads (Naan, rotli, etc), frozen desserts, variety of prepared masala entrees, fruits/​snacks, basmati rice and spices.
The prices of the food items are relatively competitive but some items appear to be more expensive (than an Indian take out order). I guess you have to know what you’re buying.
As for the parking situation, the store is in a residential neighborhood and there is ample parking. Walking a block or two is not a big deal (for me anyway).

Guys I have to agree with the other Unilocalers on the parking situation. It’s horrible you have to spin around for street parking. Since the store is located in front of the bus stop. However you can find all or most of Indian and Other Asian foods here. You can purchase your common fruits like apples, grapes and oranges here but they do not look fresh. The pomegranates here much more expensive than other fruit places. Only fruit I purchase from here is the delicious and fresh green Asian pear. I am unable to find it anywhere else. The store is clean and neat for the most part. I am not too sure about the roach scenario described another Unilocaler. Hell I wasn’t there to see it or not to see it. However most of us shop here for our «brown» food so there are no complains from me. I always find what I need in the store.

They have a lot of Indian Stuff, its a Okay grocery, more expensive then many around, and they are not friendly. I went there using a pair of medium size shots, and a short sleeve shirt, the guys were staring me as if i have had committed some sort of felony, or similar. I felt super uncomfortable, but bought what i wanted anyway.

This is the only super market near nassau county that I can find Masala Tea. Unfortunately the parking is horrible.

Parking sucks, and at night, ROACHES! scurry out of the supermarket from under the gate. VERY DISGUSTING AND GROSS!!!
