FINALLY an ethnic market in Pickerington!! A great selection of produce to pick from, and a pretty…read moreextensive frozen foods section that I look forward to pursuing more on my next visit. When GN first opened they did not carry my favorite candies: Coconut Milk Candies, so I had to keep making the trek up to Morse to get them. Heading to the new Indian restaurant next to GN, I figured I'd stop in and see if they had the candies - there was a severe back order all around Columbus due to the shipping congestion from the pandemic. They were stocked, I mean stocked full, of my Chun Guang brand, so I couldn't pass up buy a pack!

Small-ish market, hidden away in an easy to miss strip of stores, but worth a visit if you're a…read morelover of all things Indian (sorry, grouping Pakistani and Nepali in here as well). There's an AMAZING array of spices, mixes, blends, and heaven knows what else. I love this kind of market, so even though I didn't NEED anything, I did leave with a couple of packages of exotic teas, some spicy crackers, and some curry. A limited offering of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, home supplies, and lots of MYSTERY (to me, anyway...) items to make you feel you've temporarily left suburban Reynoldsburg for someplace MUCH more EXOTIC!! Enjoy!!

Apparently Annapurna (Indian/Nepali market) has been here for four years, and I was just told about…read moreit from a friend who works with a large population of Nepali students, so I was glad to stop by and take a peek. First off, Annapurna's product selection is pretty dang stocked compared to other small independently owned south Asian markets I've visited in Columbus. Many veggies both green and root varieties) and fruits. I versed myself on the "tree tomato" fruit via Google, as there were several in the back cooler. I stopped in to see if they carried a certain coconut Candy I've recently been introduced to, but they didn't have the exact brand I was looking for. I did buy a sack of the candy made from a different company, and it's not quite as good as Chun Guang's Coconut Milk candies - these suckers are what I like to call KRYP. TO. NITE. Watching your sugar in-take? Please do NOT read this review!

I just heard about this yesterday, and had a light day so I got over today. Sweetie says it's been…read moreopen awhile; I just don't get over this way often. Bright and clean inside, loads of dry goods, snacks, drinks, frozen items, pastries, meats... Most of the pastries and sausages are made here. They can grill some kevapi up for you, or you can take them home. Since I'm heading to the Serbian Festival this weekend I figured I could wait, but I did get some spicy leek sausage for later. Also assorted baklava and other pastries, and a few odds and ends. Good prices. Great service. Friendly, helpful owners. Easy access off the highway. Plenty of parking, in the mall by the home store. Worth a detour.

It's the cheapest and most accessible way to expose yourself to the culture of another country, and it can open your eyes to so many new types of lifestyles and cuisines. Sangam is an amazing place to start your exploration. They have an extensive selection of unique produce, home goods, beauty products, and more. I bought cashew juice, bitter melon, an amazing blanket, rose water, rose petal spread, fresh tamarind (very fresh), and multiple types of Achar. They have some beautiful and affordable area rugs that I can't stop thinking about, and I can't wait to go pick one up. They also have cases of toasted coconut water, which is better than ice cream if you ask me. Plan an hour to browse and expect to pick up half of your grocery needs and then some. ** Edit: By the time of posting, I went back and bought the rug. Also some toasted coconut water, cabbage, and cauliflower. Yay!

Stopped in to check out this spot just because it looked interesting…read more They had frozen coolers with all kinds of fish, a drink cooler with some yummy refreshing juice options, and a few shelves of other unique items. We ended up with some fresh plantains, plantain chips, some Caribbean seasoning, and a few drinks. The store is pretty small, but they probably have a lot of regulars who go in for specific things. My reason for the 4 star rating is because, even though they were nice, the employee at the store didn't know what a lot of things were. I would have loved to have learned a little more about certain things. The fresh plantains were my favorite thing purchased. They fried up perfectly over the next couple of days!

When my wife and I entered, we were greeted kindly by Abuja, the (I believe to be) store manager. I explained that I was there to see their product line and shared my recent discovery about my history. The gentleman expressed sincere happiness for me and began to share facts about Cameroon, Congo and Ghana, of which I originally thought my make-up to be. He took me on a tour of the store, stopping to explain the differences in the products and how they're used in meals, also sharing their countries of origin. I was really interested in the Ghanaian Yams, this huge fish called "Choff" and other items. I added photos for your review. He also showed me products popular, or should I say 'more familiar', to Americans, in case I was looking for things I would find in a grocery store like Kroger or Walmart. I was glad to see various seasonings that I normally buy as well as some that I'd been curious about for awhile. The store is worth visiting and I do hope more people swing by to check it out. You never know what you'll find.
