I was very excited to see a new Asian market had opened. I do see now see that it's actually the old Spice Bazaar that expanded and moved further down the plaza. I'm not normally a huge fan of grocery shopping but actually enjoy walking around a store like this. All of the different rices, pickles items, spices. naans, etc, and samosas bring back fond memories of my visit to India. Makes me think of the great food I had there. Good we now can make at home thanks to stores like this. Though nothing can beat buying those fresh samosas from street vendors in Bangalore! The prices are so much better than the normal box grocery stores. Well worth a visit. 2023-14 read more

So good to see an Indian grocery store carrying all different types of groceries be it dry, fresh or frozen. They have every little thing ranging from powdered spices to kitchen utensils. The store itself is very spacious and it's always a fun experience checking out all the different aisles. They have an in-house restaurant as well which is called "Masala Memories" and although it has a limited menu but all the stuff on it is great and very well-priced. Personally, I go to Spresh every couple of weeks because I use a lot of Indian spices in my cooking but I would definitely recommend checking it out for some interesting Indian snacks that you can't find in the other grocery stores. read more

People are sleeping on this place! Yes it's a nice grocery store (although the vegetables look a little sad), but the real deals are in the hot food section. $1 samosas are a stellar deal and they are legitimately good. Plus chaats, Kathi rolls, dosas, and sweets! read more

Spice Bazzar has rebranded and is now Spresh (Spicy Fresh). Now located further down the Plaza, closer to Sweet Home. Inside you will find Masala Memories, a food counter with dining area. The rest of the bazaar is a mix of dried goods, cold beverages, fresh fruit and veggies, bulk food, spices, snacks, sweets, canned goods, baked goods and holy items. Great new space, with bright lighting and wide aisles. read more

I'm always excited when new things open. This is no exception. I only saw it because I was driving on Sheridan and noticed it. It's a supermarket with a large selection of Indian foods and goods. Also various kitchen utensils and pots and pans. There's a place where you can have some food too, Indian based. What a great addition to this part of Sheridan. Easy parking. read more

I love this place. Every now and then, you fill find items which are lacking labels, especially in the seafood section. There is also a little food court area where you can try a few food items. I like that their Indian foods do have a variety of foods from South India, which is hard in many Indian stores on the East Coast. The store is also exceptionally clean and items are reasonably priced. Id highly recommend coming here to check out the place and also having a snack or two at their little restaurant. read more

Huge selection of Indian foods! It's well-lit, clean, and spacious. The employees are friendly and helpful to white folks who are a little clueless (mentioning in case that's something that you were intimidated around). We haven't tried everything we bought yet but I will mention that they have the tiniest, most flavor-lacked ice creams that come with itty bitty spoons. Highly recommend! read more

Much more than just spices, this is more of an Indian grocery store. The spices are only in one aisle, and although they have common spices for Indian cooking, they don't carry other spices outside of that. We came with a list of non-Indian spices, and they didn't have any of them. However we did leave with some mini containers of Indian ice cream in interesting flavors! Can't wait to try them. They also have several freezers of frozen veggies, meals, etc, as well as fresh produce which is labeled. They also carry rice, snacks, toiletries, and home goods (like towels, pots and pans, etc). Prices seemed reasonable and we would definitely come back here if we're shopping to make an Indian meal. read more

While the store has good choices (we have been shopping there and at its previous location in the same plaza for over 7-8 year spending hundreds of dollars a month), we never needed any service. But I am done with it after today. Among other things, I bought a squash today. At home we couldn't cut it's unusually hard skin, but after using a lot of brute force, I was able to make a cut. But cutting the rest of it was an impossible task. So I went to the store to exchange it. The clerk first said, they did not sell this. I then produced the receipt. She then said they don't take back vegetables. I asked to check with the manager. He came over and revised her statement to say they don't take back vegetables with cut marks (how else one would try to find a squash is edible or not). Anyway I then told them that since it is inedible, I am leaving and that they can throw away the squash. The clerk then said she can't touch the squash and I must take it away with me. I am so done with them!!!! Thank God there are other Indian stores in the area. read more

It is a good place to most of the Indian stuff. I found 99% of all that I had on my list. Friendly staff.

What : An Indian grocery store as it is a mini India carrying the most nostalgic stuff from back home. Aisles and more: Spices: Ever state of India has atleast 1 favorite spice and all the stores make it a point to carry them all to keep all of us happy :) Packaged Masalas/Spices: Shaan is a Pakistani brand of Spice line and are the best for Authentic Indian Meats and Biryaani. Everest is an Indian brand which is the most known and used for everything else. Ready spice mix: These are great to cook up some authentic stuff as its premixed with all the spices, oils, salt. Parampara brand is great . Ready to eat: If you ever wondered how an authentic Indian food tastes, this is great to start with. The spices are not mellowed down neither the recipes are changed. So next time if you don't have time for that huge Indian buffet, give this a try. They have Saag, Chana masala, Paneer stuff and most of famous stuff . MTR is the original brand from India and have the most authentic selections. Sanjeev kapoor's brand is close enough too. The one from other American grocery stores are again not the authentic ones as they have been modified to US pallet ! Veg: This is where all the Indian women tend to get more excited to finally prove their culinary skills from mom's kitchen or impress their just arrived mother in law from India who thinks that we just eat pizza and bread everyday! The cilantro , mint tomatoes are cheaper here than any grocery store around. Ginger is much strong and close to Indian ginger. Paneer: There are couple of brands in frozen section but can't vouch on even one. The Nanak brand is much closer to homemade quality. Lentils: You can find several kinds and most of them are similar to Goya brand but again all the regional presence is there and great way to switch to lean proteins. Mangoes: Seasonal fruit and trust me, if you want to try the real sweet mangoes, you can't find these anywhere but here. Rice/Flour: Ever wonder why they sell such huge bags of Whole wheat flour? Because most of the households make their own thin flat breads/Rotis. Yes, we do not eat Naan everyday :) Basmati is for fancy rice varities but for everyday use most popular rice is Sona-masoori . All the grocery store are pretty much same just carrying more or less Vegetables. As always for cilantro & mint ask the cashier to get you some fresh ones from their treasure trove at back :) read more

So, I'd stopped in to Markheim Tropical Fish next door, and we still had some time to kill before we had an event to go to, so Lee and I popped in to this market to check it out. Well .. I popped in to check it out, and he somewhat grudgingly followed in my wake. He's not the most adventurous type in the world. Anyway, this place is pretty cool. I am not incredibly familiar with the full breadth and depth of Indian Cuisine, as India is a pretty ginormous country, with a number of different cuisines, but I know a little bit. It was fun to see a breadth and depth of produce, dry goods, and a lot of interesting snack foods. I love snacks, so I grabbed some savory instant oatmeal, and some other things to try, including a bag of Lay's "Magic Masala" potato chips. The staff was courteous and friendly, not minding my questions. I took the chips out to the car, and immediately ripped open the bag. Lee was extremely dubious, but fished a chip out. "These are way too spicy, he declared, yet continued to eat them. I think he was a little bit of a convert, there at the end. I have to go back now, and get some more! read more

Every thing you need for Indian recipes and more! Walking in the door you are confronted with a delicious aroma of spices making you hungry for Indian dishes! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Prices appeared very reasonable. Bought spices,poha and naan. Definitely will be back! read more

Menu is old and limited ... what is served is well done except the breakfast potatoes severed to me .. the bloody Mary's are delicious

Our go to Indian grocer. Want to make homemade Indian food or you just want some stuff to pop in the microwave/oven? This is your place. They have a good selection of Indian produce as well, but you have to come early for good pickins. We always get the little apple bananas (best kind of banana- a little on the tangy side even when really ripe), okra , and Indian eggplant from here. They basically have everything you need. I do love the fact that they carry my favorite Indian pickle, the Priya brand is really hard to find in stores but they manage to have a large selection. Staff is very friendly as well and can find you whatever you need. Highly recommended. read more

I'll give you two words to make you come here: Dollar Samosa. How can you possible reject samosas for a dollar?!! Thank you spice bazaar for allowing a broke college student enjoy the delicious samosas! read more

Extremely rude staff! I've shopped here and few times and felt this way but after today I won't be back after the way I was treated. I don't want to go as far as to say racism but after today it was clear. Disappointing! I will travel to the Rochester location read more

There is not a grocery store I go to where I end up talking to people more - both workers and customers. Call me crazy but my second time here I saw a group of four guys loading up a cart. So I walked up to them and kindly asked one of them to elaborate on the contents of his cart - most of the items I did not recognize. He explained them all in detail and even walked me over the the produce section and told me about some of the unique produce there that you can't find at Wegmans. After all was said and done, I ended up checking out with a big bag of Basmati Rice, some turia and little hot green peppers. I cooked some curry with the turia (chinese okra) that week. And after reading Smita's review of this place (which was super helpful by the way), I am ready to pick up some of that strong ginger and sweet mangoes. Bring on the goodness we shall. I usually come here about once a month now to pick up rice, more curry powder (I like the Madras), and usually strike up conversation with another customer or employee, trying to find out something new I should try. You see, I love to cook curry and after cooking a dozen different recipes, I realized that they are all somewhat similar and once you get the hang of it you can pretty much use what produce you have on hand in the kitchen. I'm not sure if this is frowned upon in Indian cooking - I'll have to ask next time I come here! What I love about curry is that it is not only absolutely delicious but is basically the antidote to the American diet. The American diet, with its' staples of wheat flour and sugar, is actually are inflammatory to your body. Don't get me wrong, I love bread and sugar. I could kill probably half a box of Paula's Donuts with a french press of coffee to wash it down in one sitting. Still, I can't argue with the fact that my body feels severely inflamed after such a glorious dining experience. Certainly not a wise daily or even weekly breakfast choice for me. Indian food on the other hand, is an awesome daily (at the very least weekly) diet choice as it contains larger quantities of turmeric and ginger which are lovely anti-inflammatories. Inflammation over time can create an environment for cancer which might help explain why India has a much lower cancer rate per capita than the United States does. You are reading this on a Yelp review of course so don't take my word for it. I am just trying to encourage you to eat delicious Indian food. You'll find me here once a month stocking up and you'll find me once a month at Paula's or Famous Donuts getting my fix. Both are monthly traditions for me. If you have questions, please don't ask me. I'll just refer you to the wonderful employees (and customers for that matter) who are always happy and proud to assist you in learning about their culinary arts. read more

As a student I used to frequent Super Bazaar (which had the perk of offering free pick-up & drop-off from your home), but after the owner made a racist comment about me dating my American boyfriend (and now, husband), I vowed never to set foot in the place. And I tell everyone I meet, including the readers of this review - please go to any other Indian grocery store. Moving on - after that incident, I found Spice Bazaar, and I have never gone to any other Indian grocery store. The owners of Spice Bazaar are not racist, and the food is priced lower. Conveniently located on Sheridan Dr, with a private parking lot, this store will fulfill all your Indian grocery needs. They have all the staple spices, curry pastes, packaged meals, frozen breads, lentils, cooking oils, (specialized Indian) cooking utensils, frozen ready to eat treats (samosas, parathas, medu wadas etc.), fresh Indian vegetables (yams/arabi & suran, white pumpkin/safed bhopla, ivy gourd/tindora, bottle gourd/doodhi) you could ever want. The store also stocks fresh snacks like samosa or Indian pastries, sold for $1 a piece, which I always pick up. I usually stop by on weekends, so I'm unsure if these snacks are available during the week. Seasonally, the store also stocks Indian festival necessities - lamps, specific prayer items, deity idols, Indian jewelry and clothes. As other reviews point out, it is not easy to figure out the location of items on your grocery list, and I often have to ask the staff, who are always friendly & helpful. Tip: 1. If looking to buy naan or other Indian bread, check out the freezer section. The fresh breads are not always "fresh". 2. For shoppers looking for organic coconut oil, the prices here will beat Trader Joe's or Wegmans. read more

I was laughing like Cruella deVille eyeballing dalmations when I saw the goods in this wonderful store. It is 99% Indian food with some other Asian items (East Asian noodle specialties in particular) and I LOVE Indian food. I just can't get enough. They have something for every level of cook here. They have heat and serve meals (huge selection of these, about 5 times the flavors Wegmans carries at only 1.79 a pop) that are both frozen and non and pre-made sweets in the cooler. They have pre-packaged marinades, doughs (for naan, roti, sweets, etc) and seasoning blends for making favorite dishes. They have raw ingredients for cooking from scratch (all sorts of flour, spices, rice, beans, dahl, etc in bulk and smaller packages). They have the craziest amount of chutneys (a sauce/salsa like condiment for the uninitiated) and Indian style pickles. They have rows of Indian snacks - chips, snack mixes, cookies, etc (we picked up Lays manufactured in India featuring masala seasoning). The selection overall is just INSANE, the store is much bigger than it looks from outside, and the prices were incredibly reasonable for the vast majority of items. They carry a crazy amount of incense and some packages are bulk ($3'n'change for 120 sticks) and have a small amount of Hindu items (posters and statues of gods, etc). Produce looked decent and they had a moderate selection. They also have piping hot samosa with chutney for $1 each by the front counter and free ginger tea. NiHoowa could take a note from Spice Bazaar on what a devoted ethnic grocer could be! read more

This place has everything you could need to make delicious Indian dishes. They have tamarind and tons of curry paste. I like their fresh veggies, very unique from what you would find in a traditional grocery. They have such a large variety of ingredients for great prices. The people there are very helpful as well if you are looking for something specific. They take credit cards. read more

Fantastic selection of Indian spices, rices, prepared foods, and more. I stopped in on this visit to get whole mustard seed for a batch of mustard we were cooking up--and it's well worth the drive for us out from the downtown area. The prices are great and the selection is pretty amazing. I'm not sure I'd pick up produce here (some of it didn't look super fresh), but everything else I got was perfect. read more

If you want to return your item,return on the same day otherwise the item will get wasted because the lady with specs in spice bazaar will give you enough of illogical reason not to take your item back. It is about ready to make "Brahmins Dosa Podi" which I took it and she is not taking it back right now because she doubt if I have really taken from her store, though I ask her she can check on her camera if she really doubt. read more
