Mahal Bazaar

Great selection. Fresh Indian sweets made daily. Fresh produce. Very nice owner and store team.

Worst store ever – been to this store 3 – 4 times, and twice had problems. The first time we purchased several items and the pistachios were stale/​rancid tasting. We let it go. The second time, we bought a few items again, and the yogurt was so sour we could not eat it. My wife called the owner and he said it is not his fault and all the items in his store are fresh. He told her to contact the manufacturer. I decided to give the owner a call myself and he insisted it was not his fault. He became very rude when I told him this was the second time we had an issue, and said everything in his store is fresh. He did not once offer an apology or an exchange or refund. I asked him about an exchange and he said he said no. He cut me off several times and was extremely rude. I told him he just lost a customer for life and that I would tell everyone I know about my experience. Haven’t been there since and will never go again. Save yourself the headache and don’t waste your time and money on this place – go to Tampa and stock up.

The only Indian store in the Pinellas county area which saves us the long trip to Patel Brothers on Fowler in Tampa. Much smaller compared to Patel brothers but has the basic stuff which more than suffices. Stop here frequently and will continue to do so.

Clean store. Plenty of choices.
Our first trip to an Indian store. Bought a variety of ready-​mix spice packets/​boxes, frozen veggie that you can’t find in American market, frozen meal, seasoned naan bread, herbal shampoo $ 5. It was overwhelming because there are so many choices.
The store has been there for about 20 years. Current owner has been there for about 8 years. Store sits in a plaza that is visible to passing traffic.
