Grocery items- over priced and no prices marked on the items. 0 transperancy. Service - rude and argumentative owner with an overbearing need to be always right, always have the last word and denies service to customers who give him honest feedback about the quality of the food or the service. Ambiance - average like a small store. read more

Absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent 40 minutes in the store looking around and speaking with Raj. Wonderful man with a wealth of knowledge. This is a great store! read more

The biggest concern I have is NO prices are marked. How can a human memorize thousands of SKUs? Also, some of the prices quoted have been unparalleled/extremely high. I am very doubtful re the pricing. read more

Great selection of Indian's groceries including spices, frozen foods, grains, etc. Everything is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly. My own favorite: The parathas are really tasty. read more

India's Grocery - Paratha - Grocery Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Indias Grocery has been my go-to for years - the owner cares about quality, favoring organic spices and quality goods. He can tell you exactly which brand of paneer is the tastiest, what chats to buy, and which breads to use to get out of a naan rut. Friendly service and high quality food - what's not to love? read more

This store is a true Boulder gem. Raj was so helpful in my shopping experience today! I am so grateful for such a kind man and generous customer service. When I told him I wanted to make kitchari he picked out all the ingredients for me, which were all organic, and hand wrote the recipe down for me. And he said if I had any questions when making it to give him a call. I felt so taken care of and appreciated as a customer. He also happily helped me find other things I was looking for in the store. We chatted health and family, it was lovely. Can't wait to go back again soon! read more

Raj the owner is so kind and helpful. I drove an hour to get spices and ingredients here and another ethnic grocer nearby. Looking forward to more recipes that will call for a trip here! read more

Raj was most helpful and even shared his Saag recipe. Top bloke. Very friendly and informative. Will definitely be back again for some friendly service and recipes. read more

I love this Indian market. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly and recognizes me every time I come in. He cares about the quality of ingredients and will tell you exactly which brands are high quality. He has recommended so many different things to me, from the paratha and patla to the best paneer or Garam masala, to the greens he sells for authentic saag dishes. read more

I went into the store looking for chai masala to get away from the heavily-sugared versions I usually encounter. The store was very busy so I started wandering around, not really sure what I was looking for. As soon as he was done at the register, Raj came over to me, inquired about what I was looking for (including how much work I wanted to put into it), and then directed me to exactly what I was looking for - including giving me a recipe he had handwritten. Wonderful! read more

If this is the best Boulder has to offer, then so be it. Very empty store, but probably best place to get indian spices near Boulder without having to driving down to Broomfield. Owner very friendly, though I did feel somewhat sorry for him, lacking any customers and all. Environs definitely could use an upgrade. read more

Like many others have stated, the owner of this store, Raj, is awesome! I've made Saag Paneer a few times before and went to his store to pick up some saag. He gave me a recipe and ingredients suggestions that made my saag recipe way easier and 100x better! I used to be hesitant to cook Indian food because all of the recipes I've tried just haven't been worth the effort. Now that I know about all of India's Grocery offerings, I will be ditching the takeout and trying to make more of my own dishes! read more

India's Grocery - Photo of the homemade saag. Used paneer, saag (leafy green vegetable), a series of spices, and Raj's recipe to make this! - Grocery Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Raj the owner will share his recipes with you. The selection of Indian and eastern ingredients is awesome. You have to check this place out next time you want to make tandoori or vindaloo. read more

Couldn't agree MORE with all of the positive reviews here! Top notch customer service and prices are affordable. Appreciate the time they take to greet every customer and offer help with questions. Will definitely be back! read more

A treasure that we travel from our home in the mountains to visit. Raj has taught us how to make curry dishes that carry us through the winter. Do yourself a favor and visit one of the gems that make Boulder a special place. read more

I ran across this nice little grocery about a year ago while up in Boulder and have been a steady customer since. They have all the normal stuff you would expect from an Indian grocery such as spices, fresh turmeric, basmati rice, and ghee... The prices are just fine and I find their quality to be outstanding. What makes me drive from Denver though is Raj. I like to pick his brain not only about Indian cooking but about nutrition. He has a degree in nutrition and can speak about the health benefits of many of his items. They carry a special locally produced ghee made from cultured yogurt that is just incredibly delicious. I also love the kichari they sell and the Indian yogurt with live cultures that goes so deliciously with it. You can ask Raj about recipes and he is always right on it. He will walk you around the store and help you find the ingredients you need as well as a variety of brand names and prices to select from. I like options. He makes homemade snacks which are delicious. I have tried a variety of them including a wonderfully spiced pressed chickpea. Yum. Don't forget to ask about chai tea as there is often some you can buy hot and fresh. I have read some of the one star reviews on here and find them to be way off base. This place is a gem for those who want to learn about indian food and or nutrition. I always have left here feeling valued as a person and a customer. read more

The man who owns this store is an absolute godsend! He is kind and courteous and willing to help and answer any question you have. I went in looking for some Chana masala spice and walked out with delicious local honey and herb remedies for a cold I have. Please come visit the store, you will not be disappointed. read more

They have everything you would want for your Indian meal. Even if you dont know what it is called the owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Raj! Customer service is unmatched, Raj (the owner) wrote me a little recipe for chicken tikka masala and it was fabulous. Showed me around his shop and told me all of the spices and curries and quantities. I will come back for yogurt and rice Thank you so much for your delicious recipe and amazing store!! read more

I should've read Singh's review before I went... This place was truly disappointing. I'm a huge fan of those generic "Indian Sweets & Snacks" places where you can get your Indian grocery done and eat fresh food from the deli for $2.99 or something dirt cheap like that. I REALLY REALLY want to find one out here but the guy at this place told me that I probably won't find one... Is that really true? I'm not giving up yet. This place is VERY lacking. If you're desperate, you can come here and find.... something... I guess. Out of all places, I thought Boulder would be bigger on Indian food with all of these spiritual and health conscious people living in this city. A cry out to all of you Indian people! PLEASE MOVE TO BOULDER and improve my food situation out here!!! Okay... maybe I'll try out your Broomfield grocer, Singh. These are times when I start missing Cali. read more

The India's Grocery experience is very disappointing. It's a poorly organized store, very dirty, the products look old and are indeed very dusty. But that's not the worst thing about this little grocery. It's merchandise is overpriced. I agree with other reviewers that the prices are extortionate. The storekeeper will talk up certain products, saying they are of "excellent quality" to justify the price. A tub of wheat starch was $8+. But if you walk across the parking lot to the Asian Grocery, you'll find wheat starch for $2.50. A little bottle of mango chutney is $6 in India's Grocery, but you can get some for $2.3 elsewhere. If you're looking for Asian and Indian spices and food items in the Boulder area, stay away from India's Grocery. You'll find decently priced items in the Asian Grocery in the same shopping plaza, or better yet, just drive 16 miles to the Pacific Ocean Supermarket in Broomfield. If you need a lot of items and don't mind the drive, just head over to the mothership of Asian groceries in the Boulder-Denver area: H-Mart in Aurora. read more

Well, the digs are pretty subpar so I'll be taking a star off for that, but everything else was great if you can get over the disorganized nature of the place. It looks like a lot of smaller ethnic grocers look like. The man running the store was beyond helpful and I was able to find everything I needed. Apparently there will also be cooking classes in the near future, which I will be all about checking out when they happen. I'm sure this place is less than stellar if you mainly make Indian food at home, but it's a pretty good jumping off point if you're just starting out. read more

This place is so poorly organized - things are just thrown onto shelves. They've got poor selection of just about anything you would go to an Indian grocery store for - I didn't even see the standard pile of rice bags? WHAT! Cashier and the only person running the show was completely oblivious to the need to clean things up. C'mon! Presentation is everything! My India's Grocery in Broomfield is way better - see post from before. read more

I know that us big city folk are always disappointed by ethnic places in Boulder but... Just ask the owner about basmati, ghee, and chaywanprash, and you'll discover where the 3 stars came from! read more

I went in wanted to know how to make the real Indian Chai tea and Raj wrote the recipe down for me and then helped me shop for all the ingredients. (I still need a bit of perfecting in the boiling down but it did taste almost as good as the Chai tea you get at Indian restaurants.) read more

I can't rave enough about Raj! He is so helpful and kind. He took time to Explain to me step-by-step how to make authentic Indian curry and, I have to say, my friend said it was restaurant quality best she's ever had!!! You won't go wrong heading to India's Grocery!!! :) read more

This store used to be ok but it has gotten worse and worse over time until it's now downright creepy, as is the dude who runs it. Yes, it's been fairly disorganized for years but it now appears to be on the way to ruin. Those snacks the "gourmet chef" proprietor offers on your way in? They look like the same ones I've bought anywhere from Chicago to Palo Alto, and are in the same bags they always come in. I'd rather think he *didn't* make them himself since I actually ate some! Don't waste your time here. Head over to the comprehensive Asian Seafood Market instead, or over to India Bazaar. This place is alarming. read more

Yesterday Raj helped me create vegan gluten free recipes for my dinner party. My guests were amazed and commented on how delicious the dishes were. I couldn't have done it without his help. read more

I've been in and out of India's grocery for years for the odd item or two. Sure it's disorganized to my supermarket eyes, but Raj knows exactly where everything is and will happily explain differences between products if necessary. It's true that sometimes a price isn't marked, but I've never felt like I've been taken advantage of. I stopped in today for some ghee and some curry paste, added a soap on impulse and spent about $20 total - about what I'd expect. I'll be back again soon and I'll be asking about the cooking classes some of the other reviewers mentioned. read more

I'm glad to find a well stocked Indian Grocery here in Boulder. I've never been inside of an Indian grocer which looked like an American store. And, you know what, I don't care ! Just give me the goods at fair price -- that's why I come here. Where else can you find bags of spices with enough spice to fill a spice jar 3-5 times, for a couple of bucks ?! The store carries other things I like - various brands of toothpaste, PG Tips & other teas, chutneys, rices, and his ghee is outstanding. The Dude is a total wealth of knowledge and I always learn something when I go in. His samosas are great as are his fresh snacks. read more

I think this place either works for you or it does not, based on the reviews I am seeing. Yes it is a little run down but that's also part of the charm. The owner is filled with passion, that's for sure. Look, I get that he is opportunistic and that's what he needs to do to maximize his revenue but ultimately, you are the one who opens your wallet. This can intimidate and turn people off. What I did love are the Indian traditional snacks that he "makes." Now I am not sure if he actually makes them, but who cares when they taste mighty good. Yes things are overpriced. But it's Boulder. I am happy to have found them and I am eager to try his dosas and samosas. read more

I love the place! The owner will jot down a recipe for you, and it will taste fantastic! I was very pleased with the results on palak paneer, first try. (I recommend using less water on the butter chicken though.) If you expect it to be like Vitamin Cottage you will be disappointed. I suggest, just take it for what it is. read more

This is by far the best place I've found for ingredients and assistance for cooking Indian food at home. Raj can even help with recipes, which has been wonderful. I've made his chicken masala recipe a handful of times, and it's both simple and delicious. This is also the best place to get ghee, in my opinion. I hope more people see the value of this place. I'd encourage you to stop by and talk to the owner if you want to learn more about Indian cooking. The customer service is amazing, and the prices are great. read more

Great collection of Indian groceries including spices, rice, chutney, frozen foods, and a small vegetable selection. Uniquely, the store carries a number of organic Indian brands. The owner is passionate about food and loves to share ideas for recipes. read more

My wife and I visited for the first time today and were very impressed with the quality and selection of goods, especially spices and fresh refrigerated items ranging from okra and bitter melon to paneer (soft fresh-made cheese similar to farmer's cheese or Mexican queso fresco) and Indian yogurt. Like Janel M, we found the owner exceptionally courteous and friendly; he even went so far as to pull packaged versions of the saag (spinach in yogurt and cream with tofu or paneer) we'll make fresh tonight to compare ingredients against our recipe and educate us in the differences between Northern and Southern Indian seasoning styles. Earlier, a woman who we inferred was his wife noticed we had paused in the spice aisle awhile and came out from the back room to offer assistance. Unlike Nat V, we found the place as clean as any Safeway of King Sooper. As to Singh A, we found the pile of rice bags without difficulty, against the far wall to your left as you enter. Premium Basamati is available at India's Grocery for the same price as Costco, and in much smaller (and therefore convenient) 10# bags. We spent probably a half hour in the store, handled any number of packages (checking ingredients, remember), and absolutely did not notice a single speck of dust on anything. Since neither of us are experts in Indian foodstuffs, we can't speak to how well-organized the place is. In an era where you can't even buy a package of whole peppercorns at Safeway except in a cheesy plastic grinder for $6-- never mind more exotic spices-- it's a delight to find such a range of products and seasonings bulk-packaged and affordable. We'll definitely make the half-hour drive south from Longmont to visit often. read more

Ok, how old are those pictures exactly? I got there thinking I had stepped into someone's garage sale. Nuf Said. Boy was I glad this isn't the best Boulder has to offer in the line of Indian Stores. This one is currently holding the title of "Worst Indian store I've ever been to' I walked out buying nothing ( on second thought, I sort of ran ) read more

Wonderful and reasonably priced place to shop for your cooking needs. Don't know how to make a dish? No problem! The owner handwrote a recipe and helped me select all the ingredients, many of which were either fresh or organic. read more

Very disappointing. I really wanted to like this place. It has some charm, and the owner is friendly, but I felt like he totally ripped me off. The major problem was that the prices he charged me were NOT the prices listed. Like some reviews say, he will write down recipes for you and take you to the ingredients. That's helpful, but when I didn't buy all of the ingredients (I already have ghee, for example) he MANUALLY changed the prices of the items that I did buy, which raised the price to $19.80. Basically, he changed the prices so that he could get what he wanted out of me. I was already in disbelief and complained. His answer was, "the prices on the shelves are incorrect." That made me even more mad. I will not go back here. read more

I went in there thinking I knew what I wanted. Raj was so friendly and very knowledgeable. I not only got a taste of the Aloo gobi which was delicious. But came out with an authentic recipes and everything I would need to make it at home. Thank you Raj. My go to Indian market. read more

This little place is actually walking distance from my house. Should be a great deal, eh? I make chai every morning, I cook Indian frequently, and an Indian grocery store nearby should be awesome. Except not. As noted, the merchandise is poorly displayed, disorganized, frequently dusty, and unevenly stocked - sometimes you'll go in there and find something, then it's gone for two months, then it reappears on the shelves. The atmosphere is seedy - tape on the glass doors, rattling refrigerators, old tile, no decor. Clearly, the guy moved in to the empty space, threw some shelves on the walls, and called it good. But that's not the worst thing; I can deal with that. The worst thing? The prices are extortionate. A simple container of T-Plus chai masala? Eight bucks. At the Vietnamese market literally across the parking lot? $2.50. Envelope of curry paste? Eight bucks, compared to four at other Indian markets. The owner overcharges to a degree that should qualify as fraud; every price is at least 2-4 times what it is at any other comparable store. Not even the convenience is worth that; I'll GLADLY drive half an hour or more to another store. I'd go there only if I were already cooking and desperately needed something, and even then I'd probably drive down to Table Mesa. read more
