They have absolutely everything you could possibly need from an Indian grocery store---from fresh (and some rarer) produce you can't find elsewhere to huge aisles of salty and savory snacks, plus fresh packaged sweets, cookware, ice cream, rice, and all kinds of spices to make all of the cryptic recipes you might have seen on reels, thinking one day I'll make it if I can find the ingredients! The prices are reasonable, checkout was quick and efficient, and there's a ton of parking and shopping carts to easy load up and head out. Stop on by! I'll be back to take a slower walk through the aisles to check out everything they have, because it's a lot! read more

This visit was my first time at this Patel Brothers location and my first time at a Patel Brothers in general. I definitely recommend this store for the groceries. I was initially awestruck by the absolute size of this store and the sheer variety of fresh produce, snacks, toiletries, etc. I 100% knew in that moment that I would be picking up more than I need, but I was excited at the prospect of doing so. The store was neat, clean, and well-stocked, and my issues don't relate to the store's contents, but rather my issues relate to safety and customer service. The customers wear masks and as do all the staff, but social distancing is not well-enforced, and perhaps the layout of the store is not conducive to social distancing. Maybe "6 ft apart" stickers would be helpful or arrows on the floor to guide foot traffic in one direction (I've seen this implemented successfully in other stores). My personal customer service experience was not great. My mom and I approached a staff member (from 6 ft away of course) who was stocking shelves and received no response or assistance. The cashiers don't pay attention to the customer and don't seem to be bothered about their experience. I do want to visit Patel Bros again (maybe it was an off day?) and hopefully get an opportunity to edit my review. But also to pick up some great new foods! read more

Very rude staff especially the elderly guy with white hair. May be he is the owner but customer service and the way of talking is horrible. Does not deserve to be in the business. read more

Indian groceries close to downtown Baltimore! They have everything needed to make Indian food at home but prices are a little higher than other Patel Bros that I've been too. I guess there's no competition around so they can do what they want. Produce was a little questionable, saw some fruit flies around the tomatoes. I guess the packaged goods are the way to go here. Watch the expiration dates! read more

This is the worst patel brothers I've ever been to. The manager and workers are so rude. I accidentally purchased an expired bag of snacks, and when I went to return it, instead of kindly saying they couldn't take it back, the manager started yelling at me. Him and his employee said I must have purchased it at another location and was now trying to return it to their store. They caused such a scene for a $2.99 bag. So unprofessional and rude- not to mention there are probably a thousand health code violations. Will not be coming back. read more

I am not familiar with the indian or middle eastern goods, so I went in to check Patel - the very famous last name, and it seems the only surname of Indians. The goods market is small. The place needs to expand to a bigger space because of the high ratio of customers. In other words, this place can get crowded, especially on the weekends. The store has a variety of rice. If you like basmati, you can select from some that are on sale here. read more

Bought malai and it was moldy when I opened it. I noticed you could see green through the other boxes as well. I thought I grabbed a non-moldy one, but I was wrong. Thankfully, they gave me a refund for it. This place is only good for their variety of snacks, dry food, and spices. Otherwise, stay away from the perishable products. read more

Came to Patel Brothers, located on Rt. 40 West in the shopping center next to Old Country Buffet, in search of Indian food staples to try my hand at fixing the dishes that I enjoy. This grocery store caters to Indian grocery items. It's a nice size store that is well stocked . The associates were friendly and helpful in assisting me with some of the items I was looking for. Produce were fresh and they had one of the largest assortment of dried beans/lentils I have ever seen! The pricing was decent as well. They also had an extensive frozen food section as well. I look forward to many more visits to Patel Brothers! read more

Great Indian Grocery selection, fast check out lanes, Fresh Vegetable! P.S. the google maps has the old location for Patel brothers. The new location is in the pike park plaza shopping center. Its an huge Indian grocery store with large selection and variety of authentic Indian goods. Couple points to note: - There is large variety of fresh Indian vegetables and fruits available all the time and they stay fresh for at least a week after buying them from store. - This store has by far the greatest selections of Indian snacks I have seen around here. - It definitely doesn't have any weird stink to the store like Lotte plaza ( a bonus for vegetarians) - They even have good selection of Indian cosmetics and personal care products. read more

The size if the store is nice but the staff is terrible. Typical business focused gujus that don't care to actually interact with customers or answer their questions. This is why I prefer smaller Indian chains to be honest. They do have a decent variety, but some of the frozen items are hit or miss. The store has most of the spices you would need if you want to try some south Asian cooking. Another main reason im giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because if it were down to Unethical bezos' Amazon and this store, I'd still probably choose the store. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. They have expired products all over the places and refuse to refund. In the past I have purchased and bought home milk and condensed milk all with expired dates on them. When I went back with receipt for a exchange or refund they refused to do any and accused me saying they don't sell expired products and I must have purchased the products elsewhere. Fast forward to today, I picked up yogurt and voila expired dates!!!! I took a picture of it just to prove my point here. I picked up a more fresh batch and gave the expired product to staff. They didn't care much, no apologies. Today is Feb 21, this yogurt expired Feb 06. A full 15 days later it was still on the shelf! Yuck! read more

Patel Brothers - They Sell Expired products. Today is Feb 21, this yogurt has been on their shelf 15 days after sell by date. - Grocery Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

This establishment is racist!!!! I am African American and the store is set to close in ten minutes. I'm currently standing outside as i write this rating. One of the employees is in the process of locking the doors, so i tried to Go in because the store isn't closed yet, and i was denied. However, two more people of Indian decent (two separate times) tried to go in AFTER ME, and they were admitted. It's 2020 and racism is still alive and well in Catonsville MD at Patel Brothers. read more

(This review was meant for the new location next to Old Country Buffett) It's a large Indian grocery store compared to the stores that I was use to going in silver spring area. Also, much bigger then Patel Brothers in Langley Park, MD. They have many varieties of vegetables and fruits, legumes, snacks. Also, shampoos, soaps and herbal medicines/tonics. Many frozen items as well. Love to buy the samosas on our way out. read more

Nice big indian store with ample parking space across the street but i find the prices are little expensive. If you drive 3 miles away, there is lotte plaza. its a korean store but you can find most of the indian product there. its so much more cheaper to shop at lotte and the vegetables are so much more fresher read more

If you need Indian food supplies then this is the place to be! Overall a great place, decent inventory, prices can be a little high but you get good quality here. I love their snack isle, I always bring back arm fulls of Indian snacks!! A must try if you are looking to home cook some Indian food or just chow down on some snacks! Cheers and the Bollywood movies are behind the counter! read more

Patel Brothers is a fairly big Indian Grocery store in MD and there are multiple locations Patel's have their stores. There are a good verities of food and goods here. The items are almost always fresh and not expired and prices are fair as well. read more

Poor service, staff is rude, owner has attitude and also is ill-mannered. Go to "Lotte Plaza Market" in the next strip mall. They have a complete Indian section with lower rates than any other Indian Store. read more

They have pretty much everything, the organization is awful and what you need will be hard to find. There is no rhyme or reason to where things are. But they have the Magic Rasoi packets and pan and jalabis, etc that we like. Also good selection of vegetables. I personally don't love the neighborhood and probably would not go alone after dark. Last 2 times, there were lots of guys just hanging around outside smoking and watching women walk to their cars. read more

They sell expired products also and make big fuss if you tend to return the items... When I asked the guy, about expired products, he just mentioned to me they are still ok.... Lentil had small Beatles and insects.. Don't know if they just repackage with fresh date. The place where they keep tbe vegetables and fruits is like a dumpster. Not very clean. Next time I see any expired products, I will file a compliant to the health department. read more

Cant beat the prices. Fresh groceries and good variety. The only downside is that the place is too small and no place to walk around. There is always a huge line at the check out. But i know they are moving to the new place so that should solve these issues. read more

Great little family owned Indian market. I have been coming here for several years until the new Lotte opened; however I still like coming here for the fresh Samosa's at the cash register. The selection of items is vast, but I feel that Lotte has far more merchandise. read more

Nice, clean store. I went with a specific item in mind and they had exactly what I was looking for, henna. They have a pretty good selection of beauty items, as well as a nice produce section, with fresh fruits, veggies and herbs. They had a ton of different spices and Indian specialties. The cashier was extremely polite and I will definitely go back!! read more

Poor service , owner is rude, they have attitude, its shame to see Gurati like this please don't go over there, please go to Ganesh brother. read more

Patel Brothers in Catonsville, MD has tried to steal from me several times. I started noticing that they charged me a dollar extra several times. I confronted the owner about it and he made a horrible face as if I was inconveniencing him by wasting my time and energy to complain. He reluctantly gave me my dollar back. The second time I caught it, he said he had to replay the video footage back. He did and found me to be correct. My mother told me that this very thing had happened to her friends. You can get rich a dollar at a time!!! So recently I went to return a huge bag of flour with the receipt and within the time period allowed. The lady walked to the back of the store and produced another bag of flour. She said the date on my bag (which was not expired, btw) is from the bags they put on the shelf 5 weeks ago!!! I could not believe she was implying that I brought an old bag of flour back and used a newer receipt! So I told her I was not at fault, but that she should not have sold me the older flour. She said I should have read the date before I bought it. But remember it was not expired so now I'm supposed to memorize their system of expiration dates and report them as I buy them. So I proceeded to remind her that she wronged ME by selling me their old flour. I cannot believe I had to go through all that to return something. A while back they also gave me a hard time when returning an item. I am really disappointed in their thievery and accusations. Everyone is better off going to Ganesh Brothers a few miles West on Route 40. Also Lotte has several Indian aisles. No need to patronize these people any longer my friends!!! read more
