Small discoveries completely and totally made your day such as watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly or noticing a flower one day in the stage of a bulb and then the next as a full-blown flower.. Today I got to relive the wonderment of being a child at the Big bizarre farmers market. First, let's talk about the grains and seeds. I don't know how many times you've eaten dal or cumin or coriander and really didn't know what the original form of that seed. At the big bizarre farmers market i got an opportunity to see the original form of floods i have v eaten all my life. I was so captivated by seeing foods in their raw form. I cruised every aisle, carefully weaving back and forth, back-and-forth down every aisle until I got to the back of the store,.I noticed fruits and vegetables and some unusual ones like aloe vera and pearl onions. I have actually heard of pearl onions, but I don't know that I've ever seen a pearl onion in real life. So that's pretty cool. Ne, net, visiting the big bizarre farmers market was like going on a tour of a very unique grocery store. Totally loved it.... My cashier was very pleasant and she rang me up very quickly and packed my items into a bag and I was off. The staff was very friendly and one of the things that I have to point out is that the store was super clean, which I enjoyed. Prices were extremely affordable. I purchased turmeric, wheat vermicelli and peach green tea.

June 29, 2025 review…read more ---- We went there on a Sunday evening and was decent full. We got dabeli and chola bhatura. Dabeli was ok, 1.99 Dollars, but was lacking the spices and juicyness, probably chuntey were not applied in sufficient amount. Chola bhatura was amazing. In the 11.99- you get two giant bhatura. Little oil on top of bhatura which is expected but not too much. What I liked the most is that it came with good amount of yogurt, pickled onion. Yogurt balance the spices of chola. Even the quantity of chola was huge. Definitely two people can easily share this. They have few table and chairs where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Most of the chaat items were lower in price than a restaurant. I wouldn't recommend dabeli but chola bhatura - yes! There is a live pani puri counter as well. Unlimited pani puri for 10 dollars. Sometimes the sitting area can get little busy so be ready for that.

The Shuk is a great little Kosher store in northwest Austin. I was actually looking for a deli but…read morefound this shop instead. Inside you'll find a varied selection of canned goods, snacks, candy, fresh and frozen meats and pretty much anything Kosher. Israeli ex-pats will likely find the Shuk to be a treasure trove of foods and goodies that they can't buy anywhere else. It's a little difficult to locate but well worth the effort. The owner is very friendly and helpful. If you're seeking Kosher groceries, this is a great place to start. Highly recommended.

The Shuk is the only Israeli grocery in Austin. I loved the grapefruit juice on sale. They have a ton of gluten free options. I bought some gluten free challah bread and Bamba snacks. Israel has the lowest rate of peanut allergies as a lot of their children grow up eating peanut Bamba snacks. I love the Dorot frozen herbs including basil because it's really convenient to add to a caprese salad. They sold out of their gluten free puff pastry to make bourekas. They didn't carry any kidney beans.

There are chips and salsa available as well. The tortillas are not of the home made variety. The prices are fair for the area and they do have Pepsi fountain drinks. Being that there's also a store portion there's plenty of other drinks too. The serve was fast and there are a few tables to eat there. As for the meat market they have everything you could want. I am partial to the beef for fajitas. Many of the Mexican wares and candies are available. They also have a variety of aguas frescas and churros. If you're looking for a Mexican market this is a great place to visit.

Then I worked my way to the cafe/kitchen. I ordered 2 beef tacos. My Spanish is very limited. The sweet woman helping me spoke zero English. There were a lot of outside workers enjoying their lunch. I ended up with 2 papusas. Not sure of the meat filling- looked like chicken. (LOL), then a gentleman spoke to me and this time I got 2 beef fajita tacos on nice fresh corn tortillas. I kept the papusas too. They offered refrigerated cases of soda pop including Jaritos and juices, they also had large containers of several flavors of Agua Fresca of which I ordered a Grande Mango flavor. You could get your beverage with milk added as well. Probably seating for 25. No menu-once I moved up in line I could not only smell but I could see the steam tables which faced the staff and were loaded with food. There were a handful of things I didn't recognize. What I did recognize was beef fajitas, beef lingua, tripe, caldo de res, refried beans, Mexican rice, fresh tortillas. I sat down and opened the 2 beef tacos and ate one. It was really good and I was full so took the rest home. They sure don't skimp on the beef!!!! There were lots of diners coming and going. Most of them were getting combination plates. I'm going to have to figure that out next time. I had asked for a side of frijoles, but I was likely confused because I think the beans and rice only came with combination plates. Anyway, I enjoyed my taco and I'll definitely go back after I polish up my Spanish a bit !!!!

We attended a drama that was sponsored by the store (see attached photo) and the experience was horrible. The event was badly managed by Hamir (the owner) and everything about it was 3rd class under his management: - Bad venue/neighborhood - No parking facility - No auditorium - Worst seating arrangement in a stinking hall; No chairs for seat numbers and tickets sold to us. - No respect for audience's time - Show started 1 hour and 20 minutes late. - Horrible audio - dialogs were simply not audible. - Poles in hall were blocking audience's view of the stage - Nobody understood Sanjay Goradia's dialog because the actor had bad throat issues. - Tickets were overly priced and sold at 50% discount at the venue Show was not worth going to even if tickets were free. Our group of 15 people left before intermission as it was a waste of time. And we all reached the conclusion that we will avoid all events brought by Manpasand.

They offered store credit only. I did not want to buy anything from this store but had to if I wanted to get reimbursed. No apology again for expired stuff. This did not happen before. Sanjay ji, the earlier manager, would quietly take expired stuff, apologize and give you refund or replace as your wish. They should post their changed policies in bold somewhere in store and learn some customer service. Never again am I shopping there and am highly disappointed with this place
