My bf comes here regularly for vegetables and other grocery items, and the quality of products here is overall fine. But there is one rare item I am addicted to, the fruiti-o mango nectar, which is tucked away at the corner of the refrigerated section in the store alongside a couple other unique flavors. The mango juice I was particularly looking for was well in stock when we stopped by this past Sunday. It is so yummy, and not too sweet. When we first arrived, the tantalizing aroma of fresh jalebi being fried outside the entrance caught my attention. I didn't even know what it was, but I saw the sign and watched the guy making it, and I wanted some. Like many markets they also cook a range of food here, though I didn't see it happening in the store so I'm not sure where. Unfortunately the scent of food can be smelt throughout the store while shopping, so it's like being in a restaurant where your clothes absorb the strong odors of ethnic dishes, and it will follow you home if you're in there too long... I think since the place was kinda crowded the weekend before xmas, it was a combination of the people and the food actually. But at least they had the juice we wanted, along with veggies we picked up as well. Service was sufficient, and we got outta there before it was too late. read more

New India Bazar is the busiest Indian grocery in the Milpitas area. It also is the most cramped, social distancing is a problem. Looking at items is a problem since someone is always trying to get by. Aisles can only be occupied by 1 cart or 1 person. Lots of variety. Over 50% of items have no price. Checkout times maybe long as many people buy a cartful. Parking lot is also an issue. In the morning, little parking exists. Tea India masala chai is the cheapest in town (80/5.99) Checkout is 3 registers close together. 3 seems to be common for Indian groceries . 3 stars for reasons stated. read more

1) small and crowded parking lot 2) small aisles 3) the seasonings and spices area was glorious; plentiful and some are organic, too 4) I could not find a small bag of basmati rice, all they had were 25lbs+ 5) fresh produce area is crowded and does not appear organized 6) they had samosas near the registers at the front (they looked fresh) I wanted to make butter chicken for Gavin and threw away most when I moved last year (seasonings) and I wanted to kill time since my parents were home yet; Gavin sleeps over some times during the weekends. Anyway. I could not complete my grocery list given what little they had to offer. The staff seemed distant and vague. The customers were rude and had no sense of personal space. I never expect to go first, but the gentleman clearly saw me walking nearly 70% of the way, yet somehow he plowed through w/ his basket. using it to clear his path. A very bad experience. I will never return. read more

A lady with skin disease complained that I took one samosa fromm the oven without tongs. There were no tongs in the oven and i needed one samosa. Later on, one the counter lady started telling me about using tongs.they pointed to tongs hidden on top of some shelf that is never cleaned. If the tongs is in the oven, I use it. I didnt find the tongs, so I used my hand to take one samosa that I was buying. I have seen many people use their hand, when there are no tongs. it is the job of the counter lady to provide hygenic tongs. Instead, they are gossiping and expect the customer to go treasure hunting for the tongs . I have been going to this store for over 27 yrs - even before these counter ladies were born. The customer with the skin disease that complained , was touching all the vegetables with bare hands even when she had skin disease on her hands. The ladies at the counter were touching vegies with their bare hands. I only picked one samosa to buy it and didnt touch anything else and these women in this store were shouting at me. That is because there was no tongs in the oven. They had no opinion about the customer with skin disease spreading her disease on vegies or the tongs sitting on unclean shelf. This store needs to train these counter ladies on what their job is.. it is to serve the customer, not make customer do these women's responsibility of cleaning tools or finding tools/tongs for their business read more

I agree with other reviews that this place is crowded but I want to highlight their specials like cheese jalapeno bread, Khandavi (only found at one time) mathri. Yes, their prices are sometimes not marked in honest accurate manner. Staff is helpful in general. Also you can enter your phone number and mark your each visit to get a water bottle on 8th visit. read more

My go to Indian grocery store. Despite the poor parking and crowded store on the weekends, I would still try to make it there over any other grocery store. The best prices on groceries must try their snacks made by the store. Love their Samosa and cakes as well. Despite the long lines there are always ample people at the cash register. It's a popular place so wait lines can be long. read more

I do shopping here when I don't have a choice but recently got a few golgappas (deep) which are obviously bad with no expiration date marked. There is bad smell and it tastes bitter too. I called the shop and they were willing to refund but I chose to put the review because this needs to be looked at seriously. All the 1 star reviews share similar concerns. Red flag for sure for the heath department and there is no accountability either. I had a similar experience few years ago with an expired batter. I caution the customers to check on this when you buy a product. Shop manager, Please have your workers inspect the expired products regularly and replace them. This is a serious problem. read more

New India Bazar is good, I don't know why the reviews are so bad. They kind of became victims of their own success where too many Indians flocked to the shop with limited parking space. Their vegetables are good, dairy products are good. Spice section has lot of options. It's quite crowded. There is a temple nearby and when people come to the temple they come here too and it gets really crowded. But there is no problem with the quality of merchandise. One star removed for parking space issues. Actually looking at the New India Bazar reviews I realized that you shouldn't trust yelp reviews too much. read more

This is a one stop shop store, they have almost everything you might need for Indian cooking. There is not much parking spots in the shopping center so it can get crowded with cars. read more

This place over charges for any small snacks that come from India. I bough a pack of fried peanuts and they charged me $6.99. The peanuts tasted stale and had a really bad smell to it. When I was checking it for the expiry date, I saw the price on it which said Rs. 20. Are you serious, $6.99 for a Rs 20 pack? I will leave a photo of that. Moreover, they do not even control the amount of people in the store according to the Covid guidelines. The store is always packed with people and there is no place to even practice social distancing. Bay Area has better Indian stores than this one. read more

Its my go-to Indian grocery shopping place. The cashiers are really understanding and help the customers with all their needs. The food is always fresh and well taken care of. I had a great experience at this store. read more

Pros: lots of variety... carries pretty much everything you might need; competitive pricing. cons: parking is super painful; very crowded interiors (narrow aisles etc.), long checkout lines and lots of waiting. Produce quality questionable. recently bought a box of Indian mangoes (Alphonso) for $35)... I was told no returns absolutely. believe it or not every single one of the 10-11 mangoes was bad on cutting (check the attached pic)... one or two bad ones I could have lived with.... but every single one rotten! obviously I did not take it back as I knew they would not do anything with the feedback. Last year too I remember someone was trying in vain to return mangoes because they had been passed off totapuri mangoes as a better/sweeter variety! Lastly pretty much everything you can buy is the store brand (Veer)... and very few items from more reputed brands... I can understand they want to improve profitability... but wish the quality of the veer brand items was a bit better than it is! In summary, if you want great prices but are willing to live with all the above cons then this place maybe ok. read more

To be honest, this used to be my go to place before. I have been coming here on and off since 2013 .. if I'm not wrong. Last few years it seems that people really don't care if you are not form India...( May sound rude). There is no smile of appreciation when you spend your money here. Only question asked " Do You Want Plastic Bag".., it's 25 cents ok. I bought few packets of Laddu and square sweets and some vegetables from here and upon reaching home found out that there was small molds in the square colored sweets. I know returning the expired product here will be unwelcome, since they don't acknowledge customers.., I have decided to be more inspective before buying from here again. Also the Samosa's and other stuffs I normally used to buy from here ..I stopped because few times it was old or dry. read more

The employee at the counter was so rude! Not worth the trip and never going to be back here again even if it was the last Indian store in the Bay Area. read more

BEWARE OF CHEATING - This place over-charges you for certain items you purchased or blatantly adds extra items into the bill. Not just for a few dollars here and there, but my bills have $10-$25 added on top of the right amount. I noted this several times after coming home so i started reviewing bills right away so I could point it out- they simply say "sorry" it was by mistake. And yet it happens again on the next bill, while they hope customers in a rush don't notice the extra $20 on their bill. read more

Not particularly friendly but they have pretty good produce at reasonable prices. read more

There is hardly any good Indian grocery store in Milpitas that offers best quality food products. This place is no exception, but I would still recommend for few of their items which I find as decent picks if you carefully check for expiry dates of the packages & choose before buying. Generally, items such as green sprouts, Indian cooking masalas/ other ingredient necessaries, Dal packets and very few vegetables & leaves like green chillis, bottle gourd, lime, curry leaves are good to buy. I find some of their pickles, grand sweet varieties, light savory snacks, frozen items & other refrigerated items, interesting & useful. Seasonal Indian festive attractions like diwali decorative diyas, rangoli powders, puja accessories, rakhi bands etc are also made available before every festival. Otherwise, I'm not impressed with rest of the Veggies & Fruits as they are not fresh and are in poor condition half the times I've visited. Surprisingly, staff are helpful most of the times, but the store gets extremely busy during Weekday nights & Weekends. Due to this, to find a good parking spot becomes difficult. There have been times when people have to patiently wait & park. Items are pricey compared to other Indian grocery stores in the bay area. So, for any bulk purchase, I would suggest one to visit Fremont as the rates offered by similar stores are less and works out cheaper. There are rooms for improvement. Hope they soon make the conditions better. read more

Wife was shopping for vegetables and man putting out leafy veggies sneezed/coughed without covering up and no mask. She complained to cashier but was accused of lying about who it was.

Pros: 1. Huge variety of options. 2. True Desi feeling of groceries shopping Cons: 1. Difficult parking. Next to impossible in peak hours. 2. Deal breaker for me : everything is so closely arranged that you cannot have more than one cart in one aisle. I just couldn't believe this. I went in off peak hours and found it highly inconvenient to even walk and turn inside. I cannot even imagine what happens at peak time. 3. The store employees are in their own world totally ignoring you. They will walk into you as if you are in their way. I understand that work place will drive any one mad. Couldn't take pictures as I felt claustrophobic and wanted to get out at the earliest. Will highly recommend the El Camino location instead if this. At least you can navigate with your cart. read more

This Indian grocery store has everything you would need for your Indian food cravings. Their fresh assortment of vegetables is phenomenal. Also if you're culinary skills are limited, their frozen foods are outstanding. They have fresh naan, paranthi, frozen dosas, tandooris, lamb, chicken, samosas etc. The selection of chutneys, teas, chips, snacks and desserts will surely satisfy your hunger urges. read more

You come here to buy $0.39/lb. yellow onions or $0.25 cilantro bunches, not to expect white glove service from the cashier. The produce section may seem limited, but has everything you need at rock-bottom prices. I do not cook Indian food, but I do pick up fresh mint ($0.79 a bunch), spinach ($0.69/bunch), bell peppers ($0.79/lb for green and $1.29/lb. for red) and whatever else I need when I am in the neighborhood. Sometimes I buy naan or rice, but I haven't explored the dry goods/chaat in the store. The real reason I go: this grocery carries real Cadbury bars - the ones made in England, not the trash licensed for production by Hershey's. No need to travel to Cost Plus or obscure Asian grocery stores for Fruit and Nut, Caramel, or Aero and Crunchie. Don't forget the $0.75 vegetarian samosas (still a deal even if they don't come with any of the chutneys or sauces) at the counter. They're in a foil-covered tray, so you have to know they're there. Service has always been efficient and friendly. read more

I was walking past the store on a late Saturday morning when I saw them loading in trays of hot food and pastries. I'm a disciplined person but i couldn't resist the delicious smells and ended up buying a samosa. The prices aren't marked but at check out, the samosas were only 65 cents each! What!!!! It was still hot and didnt taste bland even though my Indian friend told me later i forgot to put the special chutney (sauce) on it. Not too spicy, just how I like it. My only regret is not buying more! Happy I found this place! read more

So recently I noticed they started cheating on pricing of the grocery bags. It happened with me twice in the same month. In spite of me getting my own bags they charged me for two bags and stated the same each time "Oh we forgot you got your bags, we thought we gave you so we charged". I mean two different people doing the same mistake that too in the same month sounds too pretentious. So guys beware and always check your bill. After reading a few past posts it seems many were cheated on pricing, so better to cross check your bill. The female billing assistants/staff there too are pretty rude and unpleasant to talk to. read more

I am a regular at this store, they mostly have all Indian groceries and they recently updated their vegetables aisle, which gives a lot of room for people to move around with their shopping carts. The staff is helpful when you need something specific and cant find it in the store. Their groceries are mostly fresh too. Only once I bought milk from them which was expiring the very next day, I realized it after I reached home, bummer! Overall, its a good store for Indian groceries, carry all masalas generally needed. Parking is a bit of a pain since the lot is oddly designed. read more

I am not going there again. Some people working over there are crazy. One of the Girls working at the cash register charged me for an item i did not purchase. When pointed out, she told me it was not billed. I came out of the store because there is no place to stand next to the cash register and add all prices up. I did the math and learned that I was overcharged. I went back in and saw that it there was another girl at the cash register now. I pointed it out to her, explained everything. In the meantime, the other one (original cashier) came back. She got angry with me and started accusing me of getting out of the store and hiding that item to extract some money from them. The item in question is fresh figs. Firstly, these guys don't even carry fresh figs for god's sake. Secondly, I have stopped purchasing fruit from New India Bazar several months ago, because their fruits almost always go bad within 2-3 days. Thirdly, I had pointed out to her as soon as i saw a charge for figs on the screen. Seriously crazy experience. Lost 7 USD and peace of mind. read more
