Basically no Asian grocery store can possibly be 5 stars, but for the fact that it is located in Mundelein and has most of your basic Asian grocery needs, it deserves 4. They pretty much carry everything that you can find in Chinatown or Little Vietnam in Argyle, without you actually having to go into Chicago and have to deal with parking and rude drivers. Basically the only reason why this place is here is convenience. I am actually very surprised to discover this place, this place has genuine Chinese grocery. Whereas places in Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights predominantly caters to Japanese or Korean preferences. You will hear Mandarin music playing in this store. Most items here are a tad more expensive than you would find in Chicago, because they added the few extra 50 cent or so in there to transport the food up to you from downtown. Certain items the price remains consistent with downtown. Didn't find anything expired, but did find some stuff close to being expired. I was surprised they even sell Chinese bakery goods and roast duck and chicken here. Also has live fish. Which, I am not purchasing because I feel terrible for the fish.

Lewis Fresh Market certainly isn't one of those cramped little stores. Has a lot of produce and other items. The prices aren't the best but they're pretty comparable to other places. Best thing is the produce because it's all fresh. It's comparable to the Cermak Fresh Markets. There's a lot of Mexican and other Latino stuff in here along with some other countries too. Has quite a lot to go through so you can find many good items. There's a grill to order tacos and tortas. Also there's a hot bar and salad bar. Other popular areas include the bakery where they cut fresh loaves. Has even more produce outside, especially when they have pumpkins in autumn. The prices are okay for being fresh. For sure we could go here again if in the area. It's got a couple locations, including this one on Grand. The produce is considered to be the best stuff.

We stopped in today just to check it out, and it turned into one of those unexpectedly great local experiences. It's always a pleasure meeting other Greeks, and Petros, the owner, was incredibly welcoming; honestly felt more like catching up with family. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, and the service is genuinely personal. Their meat is of the highest quality I've had since Greece. If you happen to stop in on the weekend, definitely check out their hot specials. Overall, Prime Beef is one of those neighborhood gems that reminds you why local butcher shops still matter. High-quality product, great people, and a welcoming, community feel that's hard to find.

When stopped by around 7pm on Wednesday, the first thing that greeted us was the store's distinct smell. The two workers in the store were in the very back prepping meat, which wasn't the most pleasant sight. The tight aisles are filled with tons of spice, dessert mixes, snacks, flour, rice, canned goods, soda etc. We had to tell them when we were ready to check out as no one stopped their meat chopping to check on us. The lady at the counter seemed disinterested, but got the job done. Overall, a good spot to grab any last minute ethnic spices or groceries. They don't have absolutely everything, but have a good variety.

The layout while antiquated looking is easy and "classic" retail. Don't change it if it ain't broke. Food selection is pretty good they have tons of import products as well the only place they are rather thin is on Kosher / Jewish tradition food. The store has otherwise competitive prices across all levels of grocery. Their fish prices are competitive with surrounding merchants. The only problem here is that the automated cash registers are down half of the time. Not a massive problem though because there are still plenty of manned registers and the staff are efficient and quick to do their jobs. I can't help but knock off a point for the irregular at best availability of the self serve registers. I'm all for jobs but at the same time I'd rather be able to clean the machine I'm using than interacting with a fleshbag carrying who knows what kind of cooties.

Before I start with the review, let me say that I do not take writing a critical review lightly as…read moreI fully understand the impact of negative reviews (esp. for a small business). That said, here is my story. We are new to the area and thus not familiar with the popular Indian Grocery stores. Google pointed Shital to be the close store w/ the avg. rating of 4-stars. So, I went there to get some fresh vegetables and a couple of other items. The initial impression of the store was that aisles & racks were tightly packed. Went to the fresh vegetable aisle. All vegetables were on top of a open refrigerator (much like Walmart). Initially, I did not think much of it until I saw okra (bhindi) that did not look fresh at all. It had black spots and seemed "withered". Other vegetables seemed old as well. Now, it was obvious why the vegetables were stored on top of a open refrigerator (which is unlike how most Indian grocery stores store their fresh vegetables): turnaround & restocking was infrequent. Next, I went to the frozen section to get garlic naans. I picked up a large pack of garlic naan. The naan is suppose to kept frozen until use. The naans in this packet felt soft and did not felt frozen. I figured that it might be one off, so I reached for another pack in the same area. Again, naans in the second package also seemed soft. I mentioned the fact to the person behind the counter who was likely the store owner. He said that it might be just that one packet. So, he went back and got another packet. This packet was also not fully frozen. This is alarming and a health hazard as the food that is suppose to be frozen is not actually frozen. I decided not to get naans. Though, I did get a couple of Indian snacks (namkeen). The price seemed a little on the high side, but I decided to go ahead and purchase the snacks as I figured that I would not be returning to this store in the future. During checkout, I was informed that I had to make a $15 minimum purchase to use the credit card otherwise there would be a $0.50 charge. My total (w/o the .50 charge) was around $13.80. It is shady when business owners decide to jack up the minimum purchase amount from the customary $10 to $15. Overall, the food quality/safety, price and overall experience was poor. I would suggest that patrons shop elsewhere for the Indian grocery needs.

PERFECT curbside delivery using electronic pre-ordering using google docs forms and a truly intelligent safety driven approach to the pick up process. Very well stocked with groceries and products still as of May 2020. Shital was one of the first stores to put safety first while still staying open and well stocked for their patrons. Using a simple email, I contacted them to set up a date for pickup. I received an email with a link to google forms and a pickup date 48 hours out. I filled out my form with all the details (sorted by category) of what I wanted. I got a call the next day clarifying substitutes for some products and it was ready for pickup immediately. The pickup experience was completely non contact and they placed the groceries into the trunk of the car. The warm service by the business - Mr. Harshad and Rahi - is another huge plus. I am a fan for life. Well
