I stopped by Konark Grocers initially to try the food establishment, Desi Bites, inside the store…read more But with the 50 minute wait for my food, I decided to check out the grocery store to see what they had. They have a variety of prepared food, frozen food, fresh fish, fresh groceries, snacks, incense, spices, etc. I was not looking at the prices, since I was not actually shopping for anything, but this store looks fully stocked with lots of goodies. My boyfriend and I always have trouble finding good garlic but this place has got it! The next time we need fresh garlic we are coming here! There were a lot of people shopping in the fresh grocery section picking up vegetables. The locals know the secret of this place. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit, even if just to explore.

All these butt hurt indians talking crap about this place because they're so cheap that not seeing…read moreprices hurts them to their souls. They don't realize that prices from suppliers probably change so often it doesn't make sense for the management to constantly change signs and labels to reflect what their suppliers charge. I'm an Indian as well from Chicago and to be honest Konark has great pricing that is more than fair. Plus there's a bonus food court area serving up some delicious Indian street food much like at Patel Brother's on Devon Avenue in Chicago. This place is great. Don't let these morons sway you from going here. The people that work there do their best and their passion shows. All their produce is fresh and great quality and once again their pricing is great compared to other places in the Des Moines area.

Really clean, well stocked store with the friendliest staff! Nice selection of European breads,…read morejams, cheeses, chocolates etc. everything is so clean and nothing is out of date. I'm very intrigued with the frozen dumplings and will pick some up next time. If you like cheese buy the cheese in the can with the red lid- you won't regret it! It's like a creamier feta in a brine. So yummy!! Can't wait to try more treats from this shop.

I was in the neighborhood and happened to be driving by this little store. I'm a sucker for ethnic…read moregrocery stores so of course I had to stop in. I'm so glad I did, too, because I found a candy bar that I had been looking for for many years that I saw at another store that stopped carrying it. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly man behind the counter. He was extremely nice and helpful when I asked him questions about some different candies that I saw that had foreign writing on them. There was a whole aisle with candy in it. I couldn't believe my luck. There's something about foreign candies that I just find very appealing. They're unusual and have different flavors and textures than American candies do. I wanted to try them all. There wasn't just candies, though. There were also shelves with sauces, spices, dried pastas and more. There was also a small drink section and a frozen section with frozen foods available. The man said the store has been open since April. It wasn't very busy when I was there. I would love to see the store crowded with shoppers, if only to ensure that the store stays around for a long time so I can get my candy fix. The prices are very reasonable and the service is outstanding. The store is very clean and modern looking. The man spoke perfect English so we understood each other perfectly. I bought my first Dubai chocolate bar and it was wonderful. I'm going to have to stop by this store often. Please show this place some love.

The employees were very helpful, nice, and friendly to us, and the prices here are great!! They…read morehave an amazing selection of fresh produce (quite a few exotic fruits and vegetables) which is what I was looking for. They also have household items like beautiful bowls, silverware, pots, candles, and so much more. I found Monthong durian for $3.79/lb which was the cheapest price for it that I've seen around town, so I'll be shopping here for that from now on. I also got a few Altaulfo mangoes for $1 each!

I know this isn't a restaurant but it's food-related. I just found out about this new Asian grocery…read morestore and I'm in love with it. They've been open for eight months and they sell SO MANY different things. If you love Asian grocery stores, you're sure to love this place. First of all, the store is very clean and well-organized. There is so much to look at. There are many kinds of sweet treats and candies. I almost screamed when I saw the banana and green tea Kit Kats. I'm crazy about the green tea ones. I found them once at C Fresh Market but haven't seen them there again. I know World Market has them but they're so expensive there. My husband bought the banana Kit Kats and I think I love them more than the green tea ones. Second, the prices are very reasonable for stuff that's from Asia. I know the owners must be paying a fortune for the tariffs, so I'm grateful for the good prices. Speaking of the prices, I LOVE that they have most of their items priced. There's nothing I hate more than finding things that I want to buy in a store and not knowing what the price is. They also have a scanner at the counter for you to scan an item if it isn't priced. Third, the owner is nice and helpful if you have a question about something. I like C Fresh Market but I can never find anyone to help me when I'm looking for something. And if I do happen to find someone, they don't speak English. This store is smaller than C Fresh but it still has rows and rows of goodies to look at. I originally went there to find the viral fruit-shaped ice cream, but it cost a lot more than I was willing to pay. So I left with other treats instead. They also have a lot of different types of noodles and many varieties of ramen. They have a drinks aisle with the typical drinks most Asian grocery stores have. There is also produce and several different aisles of frozen foods as well. I'm so happy I found this place.

This place is pretty new, I found out about it on TikTok and finally got around to visiting! From…read moremy first impressions it looked very clean on the inside. They also have lots of freezer items, snacks and instant ramen options. The layout is very open so it feels bright and easy to navigate. I think more signs would be helpful but the place isn't huge so walking around is okay. Staff have been friendly and checking out at the cashier has always been smooth. They have good parking up front. Driving here might be the biggest obstacle because the intersection it's on is pretty busy!
