Laxmi Palace

Great place for all sorts of Indian grocery needs, especially vegetarian. Punjabi samosas are great. Lots of varieties of fruits and vegetables with reasonable price. Frozen rare fruits are also great.

Fantastic! Well organized, with just about any South Asian thing you could want for your home and culinary needs. They have religious/​puja items, beauty/​grooming goods, incense, cookware, some organic dry pantry items (!!!), and a really impressive array of Indian frozen vegetable mixes. I was also impressed by the array of fresh vegetables available, some of which I didn’t think I’d be able to find in the U.S. As other reviewers have noted, though, the coolers they’re kept in could be colder and freshness seems a little variable.
Here’s what I picked up on my most recent visit, to give folks a sense of the variety of yummy offerings here: ready-​made laddoos and kaju katli, basmati rice, split urad dal, mustard oil, cilantro, onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, bitter melon, rasmalai dessert mix, yogurt, ghee, big bag of cumin powder, frozen naan, frozen aloo paratha, multiple flavors of kulfi in single-​serve cups, frozen grated coconut. …Aaaand now I’m hungry.

What a charming name for a grocery store– palace. I brought my Indian friends here, and they were thrilled to recognize the grocery items that they had back home. Prices seem reasonable, and the store is pretty clean and well organized.

Great find. This place is located in a little strip mall off to the side of Parham and Broad, and I finally got a chance to go in this afternoon. I was expecting it to be really authentic, and it was, but I was really pleased and surprised to find it spacious, well organized and easy to navigate.
Most of the products didn’t have English labels, so you kinda have to go by sight for some stuff, but I did find some lovely butter chicken sauce in a jar that I bought, as well as several microwavable meals (I imagine they are the Indian version of hamburger helper) to try out.
I was surprised to see that they also have huge refrigerator cases of fresh veggies, and lots of frozen items as well. One thing in particular I know I am going back for is the paneer, which is Indian cheese and pretty hard to find… oh and it’s also delicious with peas or spinach. Just sayin…
If you like to cook Indian food at home, or check this place out. I don’t do it often but I liked the variety, and the wide open aisles and cleanliness of the store, so I’ll be going back.

Great place for all of your South Asian Cuisine needs. You can find pretty much anything you’ll need ranging in sizes from small to huge containers. You’ll find everything you can imagine from ghee to almond oil; coconut oil; naan galore; fresh veggies; some you may recognize and some you won’t; rivers of spices; and mountains of rice. You will even find things you might use for Latin foods like guava paste and coconut milk, and things for SE Asian food such as coriander roots, chili pastes, etc (bear in mind that indian and SE Asian chili pastes are not interchangeable, but you can find some of them here). Want hummus? Get your chickpeas and tahini here. Also, you can enjoy the amazing bottled Indian juices. They’re always so fresh and pure-​tasting without being overly sweet. Another plus is that they have fresh mango and papaya and it’s probably reasonably priced.
As far as store organization, this is a very well-​organized, spacious store. Things are in places that make sense and you can have a pleasant shopping experience because you don’t feel like you and the other customers are stuffed into the place like sardines. Prices here are reasonable and comparable to what I’ve found in other area Indian markets. However, on that pleasant shopping experience note, at specialized ethnic markets that are on the larger side like this one, don’t expect someone to baby you down the aisles and give you a store tour. Just walk around and explore and don’t be shy.
The plus is that you’ve got an Indian bakery and video store in the same plaza.
