    Vegetable samosas.
    Chicago L.

    In my previous review, I spoke about the wonderful samosas. It is a baked pastry with potatoes, lentils, and spices. These are not the small, generic bites that you see at the grocery stores but they are jumbo and sell for $1.00 a piece. The service was great. The guy who was there on Sunday was super friendly and so was the lady who is usually there. I hope to be back very soon!

    I come here often for their gujiya's which is one of my fav Indian sweets & hard to find. Their gujiya's are perfectly sweet, good pastry to filling ratio and if I'm not wrong - about $8 for a pound, which is around 4-5 gujiya's. Each one is quite big, so pretty satisfied. Tried couple other mithai's/sweets as well..hmm wouldn't say was blown away but it's decent. Heard a lot about their samosa's and mathi/ matri (long savory deep fried pastry, usually enjoyed with chai) and looking forward to trying those. One of my relatives got sweets shipped for their Indian wedding in Connecticut from this place. Heard a lot of positive reviews from them and that they always come here when they visit Chicago. Ambiance- it is not really a place to sit and eat your sweets or snacks. They do have seating but again I recommend it just for take outs. Reading other comments about going in with a man and not alone as a woman does not hold true at all. It's a family business and sometimes I was catered by a lady behind the counter. Seemed safe enough to me. Also, they accept cards over $10 but she excused me one time for an $8 bill of gujiya's. Thought that was sweet.

    Prices are what you would expect for a small "convenience" grocery store. They do have more space…read morethan Edgewater Produce, which they also own. It is within walking distance, which is a plus, though I do watch the prices and go to Mariano's or Jewel when they offer more for less. EVERYONE at the meat/cheese counter is great, and friendly. They really do know their stuff, though at times, I wish they had a ticketed numbered system. It would prevent me from going off on some of the older Eastern Euro clientele when they try to butt in line. NOT happening! The cashiers are efficient, though there is a tall male one that is new to me. Feels like his name should be Draco. Would almost pass for AI, due to his height an personality, though AI can be programmed to be charming and efficient. He literally saw me put down items on the belt and looked like he was confused as to what his role was, then asked me if I wanted a bag for all my purchases, despite it being obvious that I had none with me. I had to get snippy, because, well, I had to get snippy. Oprah did mention them in one of her shows, so they got "trendy" afterwards, but as other reviewers have said, they do carry items that you would find more at a Treasure Island than a Jewel, Aldi, or Mariano's. They are good for that. Now, if they would only work on their AI cashiers and make them more personable, then I would give them a five star rating. Especially since peeps in the hood voted down Amazon from taking over and planting seeds on the corner of Western and Lawrence, to take over the grocery store market.

    I've been to this grocery store many times over the years, but never thought to review it before…read morenow. It's a pretty standard small grocery store, with a few things that may be hard to find elsewhere. They have some international brands, although the Mexican grocery store farther west on Lawrence (Lindo Michigan) is a better bet for Central American things. They sell some local brands, including freshly-roasted coffee from Brü Coffeeworks, also on Lawrence. Prices are a smidge higher than you might find elsewhere, but at least they're consistent and don't require you to download an app or join a frequent shopper club or whatever. I do wish they would stay open a little later. The staff are helpful, and they have a good selection of spices and seasonings. I wasn't able to find caraway seed elsewhere, for some reason, but when I asked a staff member if they had any, he immediately took me to the exact spot on the shelf where they had it in two different container sizes.

    I've never actually been to this place - I'm basing my review on my experiences contacting them by…read morephone, which were disappointing to say the least. Trying to find out if they carry a certain specialty ethnic item, I call on a Monday to inquire. The person who answers - apparently a cleaning person - says that the place iss closed on Mondays. What kind of grocery store is closed on a weekday?? But I give them another chance and try again on Tuesday. Same guy answers. His English isn't too good, which maybe explains why, when I ask for someone who can answer my question, he simply hangs up. Nevertheless, a grocery that is apparently closed on Mondays and has people answering the phone that can't speak English and HANG UP on callers doesn't seem like much of a grocery at all. I don't think I need to actually go to the place to know that it's not the kind of business I want to patronize.

They have a wide variety of teas for both pleasure drinkers and those looking to cure a few ailments. Other items include imported cookies, cakes, coffee and sugar. Mostly they are known for the meat and offer fresh and smoked options. The owner, Tofko, is as sweet as can be and very friendly. He'll strike up a conversation and recommend the best pieces of meat for your particular needs.

    Believe it or not there's more than Indian stuff at this international market on Devon. Fresh Farms…read morehas a few locations, including this one in an area well known for being international. It has a pretty big selection of produce. Careful in bringing the best stuff to here. They have a lot of experience selecting based on geographic regions, seasons, and weather. After going inside for the first time, we were surprised it was bigger than it appeared to be. It's got a pretty big produce section. This takes up a lot of the inside, and seems to be the main thing. A lot of the usual fruits and vegetables, but also has quite a lot that's not as common. The rest of the store has the bakery and deli counters, and they have fresh meats if you like getting meaty. Also they have a stand to get fresh gelato. The prices are pretty good, and they had lots of cheap specials. Clean and organized with everything looking fresh. It's certainly got Indian products, but there's a whole lot more, and good prices. This is located on Devon at Talman.

The place is clean and fairly well organized with helpful staff ready to assist. The best part is the fresh juice bar that they have. You pay for the juice at the cashier and take your receipt over to the juicer and they will freshly squeeze the juice for you. The sugar cane and the strawberry / watermelon were real standouts for us. Definitely worth checking out for both groceries but also to get some fresh fruit juices.
