Some dinner nights with the family are spent at grocerants and it seems to be an upward trend for us... Indian music videos blasting in the background. Locals coming in and out for takeouts and groceries. It's all good to me. The chicken biryani is delish; loving the rice. Garlic Naan bread is fantastic. Butter curry chicken was on point. Sauces were all satisfactory. Bathroom could use some sprucing but other than that everything was great. Recommended. read more

With the new location, they have really spruced things up. The store is spacious and very well stocked with a huge variety of items. There is more than enough parking spaces in the lot. Prices on grocery items are much more reasonable compared to the other Indian market in Woodbury. We got some grocery items and then headed to the deli and were surprised to find out that they have a full menu so we ordered a couple of items from there... and were very pleasantly surprised that it hit the trifecta for us: the taste, the serving sizes & the prices far exceeded our expectations! read more

First of all, Wonder-Bread Patti can suck it. The fam gave the samosas an edge over their rival across the interstate. Chef's special chicken curry was delightful. Rice cooked to perfection, but skimpy. Double it and you'll get another star. read more

We tried snack items, both spinach and mix veg pakoras were tasty! Medu vada was tasty and crispy fresh too. But indo-chinese was quite poor. Hakka noodles was dry and flavorless. Chilli chicken was more like chicken 65. SouthIndian taste, not chinese, and the chicken pieces were overcooked. Very tough and chewy breast pieces with no sauce. Will probably stick to South Indian dishes next time. read more

Great place to find flavors for a variety of foods. Looking forward to trying new ways to cook and eat. Very friendly and helpful atmosphere. read more

This little Indian grocery is a welcome addition to Wonder-bread Woodbury. If you are looking for Indian spices and staples and don't want to drive to Minneapolis or one of the big Asian markets on University Ave., this is the place to shop. It's not huge like Little India in Nordeast and doesn't have a big selection of fresh ingredients, but there's enough on the shelves here to put together a great meal. I have almost zero experience cooking Indian food, but I'm intrigued by all the spice blends here. It looks like there's one for just about any kind of dish you might want to make. There are also shelves of savory and sweet snacks, dessert mixes, cookies, and cases of frozen entrees. I stopped in today for the first time hoping to pick up some frozen samosas (yes, they had them) but was in a hurry. I'd like to spend more time browsing the aisles and reading labels 'cuz I have a feeling I could put together something delicious (though maybe not authentic!) with what I find here and at the adjacent Halal meat market. read more

Tucked behind MGM and adjacent to 494 off of Valley Creek in Woodbury sits Spice Bazaar. The owners are friendly and helpful. This store is amazing, a spice lovers dream. There are myriad masala blends for making every curry you can imagine. Bulk spices are a huge deal. 7 oz of cumin for $2.99? Yes please! Incredible pricing on Cardamom as well, both green and black. If you buy cardamom at regular stores, you'll be shocked at what you've been paying. Every Indian spice you can think of is here. Huge varieties of peppers-ground and whole; every seed, lentil, bean you could ask for. Tons of hard to find flours, dahls, oils, ghees.. Large selection of frozen entrees, plus naans, vegetables, rotis...Fresh produce too including onions, garlic, green beans. This is a really neat place and a welcome addition to the metro. read more

I went on their first day at the Grand Opening. They have a lot of choices of everything Indian and spices. I purchased a curry mix and made it at home and it was excellent. They also have vegetables and milk. It was a very interesting experience. Coconut milk is cheap; they have two kinds, both under $2. They are all very friendly and I like that the store isn't cramped. There is sufficient room to walk and browse. read more

We discovered this little store when we were trying to find the ingredients for a new Indian recipe and there were items I had never heard of. The helpful folks at Spice Bazaar had everything on the list. We recently returned from a trip to India and I was happy to see that they also had all the street food snacks we had come to love in addition to the spices we learned to use in our cooking classes. We love Spice Bazaar! read more

Cooked an Indian lunch (Goat Curry, Butter Chicken, and a bean/corn salad) for my dad for a late Father's Day treat. I had three recipes with a million ingredients each, including things I'd never heard of and wouldn't even know where to start looking at my local grocery. Everything was here at Spice Bazaar! Spices came in great little packets. So many brands and varieties. They also have a teeny tiny area of dairy and produce, but lots of specialty dry goods. Friendly staff looked at my recipes and helped me pick the right spices. Two doors down is a newly opened Halal meat shop too. Really convenient! My dishes turned out great too. read more

I really like this store, and thought long and hard before writing this review. Greed will be the downfall of this store. This is the only decent Indian grocery store in Woodbury (a city with a large and growing Indian population), and they can be really successful. But their prices are creeping up steadily, and they will soon price themselves out of the city. I went to buy packets of haldi-kumkum during a recent festival. I found a box with strips of these little packets (5 packets per strip), marked at $1 - or 20 cents per packet. Pretty steep markup, since these packets were marked at 1 rupee per packet, or .01 cents per packet! I picked up 15 of these packets, calculated that it would be $3, but at the cash register, I was shocked to see that my total was $15!! I asked the cashier with utter disbelief if they were really marking it up by 7,000%, but the cashier just shrugged and looked at me blankly! I have told all my friends about this, and we might decide to boycott this store for a few months. read more

Love it, love it, LOVE it! I have been coming to this store for over a year. Because of the wonderful selection of Indian spices, dals, rice, produce and frozen items, I have been able to cook all of the wonderful South Indian foods that you can't get in the local Indian restaurants. I find the staff to be very helpful and the selection to be outstanding. I have been to another (larger) Indian store in the western suburbs, but I much prefer Spice Bazaar. read more
