Desi Bazaar Grocery

This is a pretty nice store with a lot more selections compared to other Indian stores that I’ve been to. Their fresh vegetables comes in every Saturday which is their busiest day. Their computers are really old and prints out a receipt which makes it hard to be able to distinguish between which items you just purchased. The refund policy is store credit which is kind of odd and they sell pirated DVDs. The owners seems very nice but their demeanor is something that I don’t really care for. However, I did get a chance to know some of the workers over the years, well 3 actually because they have been working there for so long. They always had a smile on their faces and was more than willing to help when they can. I thought it was awesome that their workers are not even Indian yet they are still very knowledgeable of their products.

Most expensive grossary store in Sacramento area. I go there when I don’t have other options. I.e. paneer is 4.50 to 5 $ in every store in sacramento area. Desi bazaar charges 6 $. My first 1 star review on Unilocal

It is a good store to grab some Indian grocery. Their prices are reasonable, but not cheap. I have been to much cheaper Indian grocery stores in Bay Area/​SoCal.
You get yummy Indian cookies for under 1 $.

Good store for variety. But that’s it. It’s highly overpriced. I mean 25−50% more on many items than the store in Roseville. The lady wasn’t happy when I let her know that. When you are given competitor info you gotta take it, not get mad. Can’t see myself coming here again unless I am looking for something exclusive.

I love this place! It’s all small and cute and it’s really nice to have a convenient place to get products of this type nearby. My daughter loves to henna her hair, and they have henna here for a reasonable price. (You can buy henna in bulk from Denio’s, but they’re only open on weekends, etc…)
I love their take out samosas, and I wish they had them available more often. The snacks here are great, and the staff are sweet. :)

I pick up henna cones from here from time to time. The folks are very nice and there is a massive selection of food — frozen, boxed, bagged, fresh. They’re open til at least 10 pm.

After being disappointed in an Indian Store in Folsom, I decided to stop here and see if I could get the items that I had been looking for. I have to say, the greeting, the service and the amount of products available, were 180 degree difference than my experience in Folsom. As soon as I walked in the gentleman greeted me and asked if I was looking for something specific. When I told him what I was looking for he gladly walked me over to the area and he found the products for me! There was one popular item that they did not have because they were sold out. He advised me to come back next week on a certain day for when to expect the product to be in. Just because he not only helped me out, but provided me with a day to come back for when the other products will be available, that was beyond what he needed to do. For that alone, I will now continue to come here for all my Indian products. Why go elsewhere when I am treated better than I would have anywhere else.
If you are looking for any Indian products, I suggest you come to this store. They have everything and so much more. Plus, you get service with a smile!

Love this Indian store. I drive 20 miles from Midtown to come here and totally worth it.
Pros:
1. Huge Variety of all kinds of food– Frozen, Fresh, Dry, Snacks.
2. Fair prices.
3. Not crowded so no waiting in line.
Cons:
1. Fresh vegetables are bit over priced i think. I generally buy vegetables from American stores like Safeway or so but Indian food from this store only.

The place looked dirty and the produce seemed old and picked over. It is true that I am a produce snob but who wants to use shriveled up ginger?

PRO’s:
Amazingly great selection of stuff … much broader than most Indian stores.
Good name brand products!
Good Hours.
Probably one of the better shops outside of the HUGE Bharat Bazaar stores in the bay area
CON’s:
A bit on the MORE pricey side for the brands.
Sometimes unhelpful workers, a little «cold natured atmosphere».
Not the best customer service from workers from time to time.
Not very centralized location, not the easiest place to reach from Sacramento.

This is the worst Indian grocery store in Sacramento-​Buyers keep away-​Stale rotten food. Bad refund policy. Sells expired food.

This is one of the best Indian groceries I’ve ever been in. I like the Indian grocery on Foothill in Roseville better, but that’s not always convenient for me to get to. This place has it all AND on the weekends they have fresh snacks! They even have a selection of fresh produce, though it took me 3 trips before I dicovered it, back in the corner.
I wish it was laid out a little better: not finding the produce happened because the store is sort of sectioned off with a rack of crisps! I thought it was an employee only area… It is a little overstocked and jumbled, but in a good way. I’ve never seen so many varieties of pickle, flours, and snacks and crisps!
I go here frequently, it’s great.

This place deserves 5 stars– only their prices aren’t the best. They know there’s no other indian stores nearby so they jack up the price a little; but they’re still reasonable and they’re good people.
The one thing that really stands out about them is that they sell original-​quality burned movies for $ 2. They don’t sell you pirate copies. Yea, it’s still breaking the law but at least they don’t sell the movies until they are actually released. I appreciate that about this place. They are affiliated with the restaurant next door — Naan India Grill, which is the best halal indian buffet restaurant I’ve ever been to.
Another downside is that they won’t accept payment with a credit card unless you spend about $ 10. So, make sure you bring cash. Not sure if they apply the same rules with white people.

Check all the products before you buy from this shop. EXPIRED PRODUCTS are sold from cheap.
Goods are cheap because they are expired. Watch out. Just wondering how come Food and Health departments are not checking out this shop.
In addition, PIRATED VIDEOS are sold which are basically a crime in India. What kind of a society is this shop is building and teaching the young generation by selling pirated videos.

You’d never know that a cornucopia of Indian food was in this nondescript corner suburban center.
What a selection of ready-​to-​eat packaged foods! I often stock up here before we go camping. They have these great little foil meal deals where you can just heat up a stove of hot water, pop those babies in and voila, instant Indian!
They also have a fantastic selection of refrigerated (hello mango lassi) and frozen foods. You can find the usual naan here, all different types of brands too. I like the fact that I can try out all different kinds of Indian food from the various regions.
On Saturdays, they get a delivery of Indian sweets. What is nice is that you can purchase some by the pound. My daughter loves jalabi — not sure if I spelled that correctly. It is orange, and spirally with syrupy goodness.
It is very reasonably priced! And what a selection of chutneys and pickles. Love it.
They are not affiliated with the Indian restaurant next door. That surprised me as usually there is a neighborly connection — like the owners of a restaurant opened a store. I like the service at the store much more than the restaurant (you can see my review of Star of India).
