Spice Bazaar

Wonderful, clean, well stocked Indian market that gets five stars due to the owners friendliness — contrary to other markets of the same vein.

This store might seem small, but literally has every masala and every type of parantha that I usually shop for. James is super helpful and knowledgeable and will help you find whatever you’re looking for, and if you’re lucky you might be served a hot masala chai with a warm smile. The samosas are freshly made every weekend and are a real treat, don’t forget to ask for them!

Typical indian store, crowded stuff everywhere but i still love it. Guy on the counter is usually really nice and their samosa is great as well. Seems like they are expanding soon

My go to spice store when I am headed toward Durham for Middle Eastern cooking staples such as tahini or to put together a Indian dish. Have taken home some of their samosas as well and they do not disappoint. The shop keepers are friendly and helpful.

It has all the basics you will need to maintain or start your South Asian kitchen. I am Indian and cook food from the motherland at least 2x a week and buy all my spices etc. from here. The proprietor James is a really nice and helpful man and it is always a pleasure talking with him or his sons. That’s an added bonus compared to other Indian grocery stores where the customer service isn’t necessarily bad, but not as friendly as this little gem.

Just a WONDERFUL little place. Large selection of South Asian cooking essentials, and their mangoes are fantastic and a great price! So glad I stumbled upon this little gem of a store! :)

A cool little spice shop with a great select of any Indian spices you might need. Have yet to need an Indian spice they couldn’t provide me with.

Small but densely stocked Indian store with lots of unique ethnic foods you won’t find anywhere else nearby. The owner is very friendly and gave out coffee & samosas.

I love this little store. Sure, the parking lot is tiny, and sort of a pain to navigate, but the store itself is awesome.
Anything and everything you could possibly need for Indian cooking can be found, including dried lentils, bags of spices, several refrigerators full of meat, and lots of prepackaged, ready-​made dishes. There is a small fresh produce section that has good produce at great prices, but the selection isn’t too big, considering it’s tucked in a corner in the back of the store.
Oh, and you’ll want to ask if they have any fresh samosas on hand to snack on while your shopping or for the walk to your car. You can’t beat a yummy, warm samosa that only cost $ 1!

After moving around a lot the last few years, I’ve got a pretty set list of «essentials» I need to find every time I move to a new town. A good Indian grocery store is one of these — preferably small, tucked away in a strip shopping center in a weird area of town, and stocking at least one or two homemade items I can take home as treats along with my red lentils and cumin seeds.
Spice Bazaar is perfect. The owners are so friendly, helpful, and chatty; they stock all the Indian-​cooking essentials I can’t live without (mostly red lentils, but I pick up ginger and other spices there when I run low); and they’ve got a small selection of fresh produce, where I know I can always find a tub of chiles for pickling.
Every time I go to the counter to check out, the owner greets me with a new tasty treat: one day, crunchy, honey-​soaked pastries to take home to my husband, another day, flaky, buttery, perfectly fried samosas (for 99 cents, sure enough) I scooped up for a Saturday lunch.
I love this place. There are a few other Indian groceries nearby, but I’ll always find myself coming back to this one.

Spice Bazaar is a wonderful little grocery store (don’t let the racy Adam and Eve store nearby scare you away) located in a strip mall just off 15 – 501. They stock all kinds of Indian food, including large, tasty samosas for $ 1 each. While I’m by no means an Indian cooking expert, they have everything I need for dinner at home. Also noteworthy is the delicious home-​made chicken biryani, which you can sometimes find in the refrigerator section. The friendly owner helped me navigate the store and offered recommendations on my purchases.
