I ordered vegetable pakoda and did call to make sure it Should be fresh but the person who attend the call had poor customer service firstly. And when i got order it was soggy and stale. Wasn't fresh at all. read more

I was so excited to try their food. The wait was long, but to be expected I guess when ordering fresh food. I was disappointed when I got home and the naan that I ordered wasn't in the bag. I called them and they said it was there. I said no worries, I'll come get it tomorrow. Butter chicken is not the same without it, so I saved it for the next day. I went up the next day and they gave me a refund for the naan. I really wanted the naan. The Biryani was full of flavour, but I didn't care for the cardamom pods in it. I had to keep stopping and spitting them into a napkin. I will order again. read more

New favourite spot! I love international grocery markets. Indian Groceries makes use of the space they have and even though the store is slightly crowded, it is not overly uncomfortable to shop in. I find hidden and not so hidden vegan treasures everywhere. They have vegan masala burgers, ready meals in the freezer, Staff of Life veggie samosas, spices, snack foods, veggie spring rolls, cookies and so much more. Prices are fairly reasonable considering most of the items would be imported. I'm sure next time I go I will find even more cool things I didn't notice before. read more

My husband loves it for the Indian desserts...which are way too sweet for me. I love it for everything else - spices, rices, lentils (at least a half a dozen varieties) and other dried beans, frozen parathas - the best and quickest Indian snack ever, nan bread and more, And lined up like solders are jars and jars of pickles, curries, sauces - all authentic Indian brands. Not to mention poppadoms and candies in case you can't decide between sweet or savory. It's the perfect place to find anything East Asian. read more

I love the Indian Grocery! You can get such great spices along with kitchen staples for low prices. Last time I popped in, I picked up lentils along with an assortment of spices, from cardamom pods to some great chana masala mix. Oh, and they have fantastic frozen naan and paratha, as well as really great veggie samosas! Ever now and then I also like to treat myself to a glass bottle of orange Fanta - sweet bliss! You can rent movies and I believe they sell Indian music CDs as well. They also offer an array of authentic Indian desserts along with everyday convenience store wares, like toilet paper and newspapers. This is a really great resource to have in Halifax. It's nice to be able to shop at a specialty store centrally located with winning prices to boot. I recommend being brave and buying spices even if you haven't used them before. You may be pleasantly surprised by some of the tasty flavors you come up with in the kitchen! read more

I admit, I'm addicted to Indian food. I find most Indian restaurants are overpriced so I usually make my own Indian food. I usually make it from scratch, from toasting my spices to grinding them, to marinating the meat with yogurt and such. However, my sister who lives in India got me hooked on these little packages of masala (a blend of spices), they're real time savers! Recently I've run out, and since I'm not going to see my sister until the summer, I needed my supply, fast! I've been eyeing this store ever since we moved to Halifax 2.5 years ago. I drove by it numerous times, and figured out I needed to turn into Willow St from Robie beforehand, or else I'd have no way to stop or park the car on North or on Robie. Today I finally got to pay a visit. It's a humble establishment. The store is clean and the shelves are well organized into different sections. Price tags are clear and visible, and the prices are reasonable. They have a huge selections of masalas from different brands. I'm impressed. There were at least 5 different kinds of Biryani masalas alone. I chatted with the owner a bit and found out he's from Panjabi. He was helpful, and the lady at the counter was friendly and courteous. Very pleasant shopping experience. If you're craving for some Indian flare, this is definitely the place to go. read more

There was a time when I could never remember the name of this store. My friend and I used to call it "10 000 Watts of Indian Groceries" in reference to the "220 Volts" mentioned on their sign outside. I've come to be a huge fan of "10 000 Watts." I do a ton of Indian cooking at home and really appreciate their bargain prices on various lentils, more difficult-to-find spices such as mango powder, black salt, dried galangal and curry leaves. They also carry a selection of Indian body care products such as the fun Ayurvedic Vicco toothpaste, as well as various soaps and hair treatments. It's certainly worth checking out their wide array of boxed spice mixtures-- they seem to have one for every possible type of dish you'd want to create-- as well as their delicious spicy snack mixes. Indian Groceries is an awesome store to browse even if you never intend to cook an Indian meal. They seem to be open reasonably late too, to serve all your 220 Volt needs. read more

This funny little North End shop is exactly what you'd expect from the outside. With a distinct corner store feel, you'll find small aisles absolutely packed with all kinds of things you never knew existed alongside Lays chips, soft drinks and lottery tickets. If you're easily freaked out by small spaces, then you might have some tough times squeezing in between boxes of unpacked products here and there, but it'll be well worth it when you realize that they have everything you could ever need to dive into Indian cooking at crazy low prices. I didn't see many price tags as I shopped, but in the end a full bag of groceries and spices needed to create four different Indian dishes cost me just over $20. Skip Sobeys and start here first - you'll find more and spend less. read more

I started learning how to cook traditional vegetarian Indian food when I dated someone who grew up in Bombay/Mumbai. The relationship is long over now, but I still love the curries, stir fries, home made yogurt and paneer. I drive down to Halifax from Truro just to shop at this place sometimes. Let's be honest, it's a little hole-in-the-wall, but it has fantastic food, spices, and Indian-fast-food items. I dragged my mother in with me one day and she stood in the middle of the store like a lil lost sheep, so it helps if you have someone who knows a bit about Indian food or you might feel overwhelmed. Don't let that stop you, though. It just adds to the fun! I've unwittingly brought the staff great entertainment in my ignorance several times. (Somehow that's a recurring theme in my life anyway!) I heart this little local business. read more

I really enjoy this store, the people working there are always friendly. As someone pointed out there is an excellent selection of spices and lentils however there are some excellent Indian H&B items such as neem soap and shikakai powder and items; this why I go to this store. Lots of hair oils, soaps, shampoos and sunscreen powders. Yes, sunscreen powder. You can get all kinds of things to mix and make hair and face masks: multanni miti, ground rose petal powder, neem powder, tulsi powder, Shikakai powder and import quality hair oil by Vatika, a favorite of mine. This store has been here for as long as I can remember and I hope to see it there for years to come it's one of my favorite places in the city five stars all the way read more

Considering the slim pickings for Indian food in Halifax, your best bet is to make it yourself at home. I always make a point of going there once a month to stock up on supplies! They have the beat mango pickle you can buy in this city, and it's in a big jar :) If you love Indian food and love to cook, this is a must go if you haven't been there before. read more

Do I love this place or what!!! The best collection of spices ever and the price is just unreal! The place is small and badly organized but trust me you won't regret spending time and money in this place. This is one of the very few places that I go out of my way to check out. read more

The North End is quickly becoming my favorite neighborhood in Halifax, and this store is one of the little known gems in that part of town. Seriously, it's tiny but I could wander through the aisles for a good hour looking at all the different food! I've been in once in a while over the years, but my most recent purchase was some frozen paneer (cheese) and some korma paste to try and replicate a delicious dish I had at an Indian friend's engagement ceremony. I'm a hesitant cook but love Indian food, so I'm sure I'll be stopping into this place again! read more

Yay for Indian groceries! I can find many things here to cook any number of Indian dishes. Great selection of grains, lentils, and spices. The people behind the counter are always friendly and helpful, and I am so glad it's just around the corner so I can pop in. read more

Best of the sweets in Halifax, which is fresh and tastes great. Long list of varieties of hot sauce (pickles) too..

This grocery store is amazing! Huge variety of goods and kind and helpful staff.

I decided to finally make samosas after thinking about it for a year or so. I've always been curious about Indian Groceries (aka 220 Volts!). I'm not sure when they opened but it seems like it has been there my entire 29 years of life. The prices were very reasonable. I bought small bags of 7 different spices for $11.97. The staff were friendly and they were kind to a woman who asked them what chana dal was :) It is cluttered but charming and the selection is enormous considering the small size of the store itself. One downfall is that a lot of items do not have clearly marked prices but I still can't wait to go back! read more

What a GEM!!! Went today for our first time and loved it. We needed more time and will return soon. The owner was absolutely the best! He gave us so many suggestions of what to do with what and how to cook/prepare Indian foods. This is going to be a stop each time I go into the city.for sure. You have to try! read more
