Before I start with the review, let me say that I do not take writing a critical review lightly as…read moreI fully understand the impact of negative reviews (esp. for a small business). That said, here is my story. We are new to the area and thus not familiar with the popular Indian Grocery stores. Google pointed Shital to be the close store w/ the avg. rating of 4-stars. So, I went there to get some fresh vegetables and a couple of other items. The initial impression of the store was that aisles & racks were tightly packed. Went to the fresh vegetable aisle. All vegetables were on top of a open refrigerator (much like Walmart). Initially, I did not think much of it until I saw okra (bhindi) that did not look fresh at all. It had black spots and seemed "withered". Other vegetables seemed old as well. Now, it was obvious why the vegetables were stored on top of a open refrigerator (which is unlike how most Indian grocery stores store their fresh vegetables): turnaround & restocking was infrequent. Next, I went to the frozen section to get garlic naans. I picked up a large pack of garlic naan. The naan is suppose to kept frozen until use. The naans in this packet felt soft and did not felt frozen. I figured that it might be one off, so I reached for another pack in the same area. Again, naans in the second package also seemed soft. I mentioned the fact to the person behind the counter who was likely the store owner. He said that it might be just that one packet. So, he went back and got another packet. This packet was also not fully frozen. This is alarming and a health hazard as the food that is suppose to be frozen is not actually frozen. I decided not to get naans. Though, I did get a couple of Indian snacks (namkeen). The price seemed a little on the high side, but I decided to go ahead and purchase the snacks as I figured that I would not be returning to this store in the future. During checkout, I was informed that I had to make a $15 minimum purchase to use the credit card otherwise there would be a $0.50 charge. My total (w/o the .50 charge) was around $13.80. It is shady when business owners decide to jack up the minimum purchase amount from the customary $10 to $15. Overall, the food quality/safety, price and overall experience was poor. I would suggest that patrons shop elsewhere for the Indian grocery needs.

PERFECT curbside delivery using electronic pre-ordering using google docs forms and a truly intelligent safety driven approach to the pick up process. Very well stocked with groceries and products still as of May 2020. Shital was one of the first stores to put safety first while still staying open and well stocked for their patrons. Using a simple email, I contacted them to set up a date for pickup. I received an email with a link to google forms and a pickup date 48 hours out. I filled out my form with all the details (sorted by category) of what I wanted. I got a call the next day clarifying substitutes for some products and it was ready for pickup immediately. The pickup experience was completely non contact and they placed the groceries into the trunk of the car. The warm service by the business - Mr. Harshad and Rahi - is another huge plus. I am a fan for life. Well

Surabhi Indian Supermarket opened probably a little over a year or so ago. I've been in it perhaps…read moretwo times before the most recent visits. I'm not very UP on the Indian cuisine or cooking, so, a lot of the snacks and other items are new to me. The supermarket is ALWAYS very clean and well stocked. They have small carts to use if you are getting more than just a few things. I usually go in for the frozen naan, which is very good considering it's frozen. They have an array of ready made indian sauces from Korma to Vindaloo to Biryani, so you can make your own chicken biryani or chicken vindaloo at home. And if you are not very cooking-inclined they have microwave curries, which turned out remarkably good considering. They also have an array of other foodstuffs that boggle the mind. Lots of Indian snacks (chat) and sweeets as well. While I am curious to try them all eventually, I stick to what I know. The tapioca chips struck me as a more exotic type of snack and then there are the plantain chips, which are popular even in my filipino ethnicity. The owner was very nice and helpful to offer an array of different foods to me as I perused the stores. One thing this supermarket does is on Fridays at 6pm, they get in a supply of hot food, chicken biryani, chicken kabob, goat biryani, goat kabob, and of course samosas. They have samosas everyday, so, stop by regularly and get a few, they are only 80 cents a piece! YUM! Definitely going to frequent this establishment again and again. Also, they have a small video section for those who are curious to watch some Indian bollywood movies. Something for everyone! :)

The layout while antiquated looking is easy and "classic" retail. Don't change it if it ain't broke. Food selection is pretty good they have tons of import products as well the only place they are rather thin is on Kosher / Jewish tradition food. The store has otherwise competitive prices across all levels of grocery. Their fish prices are competitive with surrounding merchants. The only problem here is that the automated cash registers are down half of the time. Not a massive problem though because there are still plenty of manned registers and the staff are efficient and quick to do their jobs. I can't help but knock off a point for the irregular at best availability of the self serve registers. I'm all for jobs but at the same time I'd rather be able to clean the machine I'm using than interacting with a fleshbag carrying who knows what kind of cooties.

I got spices from their building my spice cupboard, fresh made chapatti and if you're there early, you can get some samosas as well (with the sauce too). If you're making any of starches/bread, they have different kinds of ground up flours. For people that love the convienience of everything in a box, they have an entire isle of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes you can make from one of their boxes of pre-mixed spices. Here and there, I'll buy the sweets they have at the counter (i.e. I see you gulab jamun). Since it's close to our home, it's a standard weekly spot we stop by to grab what we need. I'll be sure to take more pictures of what they have during my visits. P.S. You need to try their mango juice or mango nectar. It's so good.
