I have been an irregular shopper at this since 2012. This has been my go to Indian grocery store because it's right next to NJ-17 Northbound. I primarily go here for Maggi noodles, Maggi sauce, Indian spices, pickles, curry powder, snacks and sometimes sweets, yogurt, basmati rice and mango lassi. Items have fairly decent price and have a good variety of Indian brands. This store used be dark and old. But they have done a renovation after which its appearance has improved significantly. New front signs, new floors, aisle markings, new fridges were added as part of renovation. But still the shelves in vegetables area are way outdated. Vegetables and fruits also don't appear appealing to me. So I stick to the non perishable items. In all these years of shopping here, I never had any problem. Staff are friendly and helpful usually. Checkout lanes are usually fast. Hope they keep doing well, so I can keep doing my desi grocery shopping from here. read more

they increase the prices so frecuently, every time the prices are high, one week you go an the next week the price is more expensive. not good. read more

I like Subzi Bazaar this is a small Indian grocery store that has hard to find plant based cooking items that are very inexpensive. These same items can be expensive in other grocery stores. The staff are all helpful, and friendly. Parking is easy. Definitely a great place to purchase bulk items for vegetarians, and vegans. read more

Remarkably one of the good things that came out of this social distance was my return back to cooking. Yesterday my partner Ralph and I waited almost 1 1/2 hour just to go inside the 99 Ranch Supermarket(an Asian market) in Hackensack, NJ as I was picking up some ingredients for Pad Thai. We left there without the tamarind sauce which was one of the key ingredients to this recipe. After doing some research and a call, we came this morning to this Indian market predominantly catered to the Indian cuisine in Rochelle Park next to the Outback Restaurant off of Route 17 north. This average size store has a large variety of frozen foods as well as appetizers such as roti and samosa. They also have fresh produce such as parwals (pointed gourds) and assorted sauces. So if your ingredients call for something of an Indian spice not found in the local market, this could be the place. read more

Our basic grocery needs are met. Lots of food of our choice are available. Convenient location for me.

My friend Val X. and I stopped in to grab some groceries and snacks on our lunch break. The staff gave us (the only two non-Indian people) in the store the illest looks. Val was completely unaware of their stares as she went to buy her safi. I was enamored with their snack menu, while Val did her shopping. I picked up some pan, a chicken samosa, and a big potato samosa. One of the staff members questioned if I really knew what pan was and if I actually wanted it. Frustrating, since I definitely know what it is and I've had it in India. The samosas were cold and mediocre. The "big" potato samosa was one of the smaller ones I've had. The samosas are definitely better at the Subzi Bazaar in West Nyack. Prices for the Indian ingredients are about the same, so no big difference. read more

Subzi Bazaar is a convenient local Indian grocery store where you can find pretty much anything and everything Indian. Prices are high for some items, so I'd recommend price comparison for things you can buy at Shoprite, like cashews and almonds. The store isn't the cleanest or the most organized, and 99% of the time the cashiers and staff are unfriendly. $10 credit card minimum, but the most important thing I must emphasis is CHECK THE PRICES WHILE YOU'RE BEING RUNG UP! This store is notorious for labeling their shelves with one price, but charging you a different price at the register. Please pay attention at check out! It could save you a lot. Other than that hiccup, decent amount and variety of inventory if you're not an avid Indian food consumer, so it's perfect for quick little trips. read more

Great spot to get south asian groceries without traveling outside of bergen county. The staff is friendly and they are rarely run out of items. Lots of parking is a plus as well. read more

I've only been to two Indian grocers, both times with my Indian friend. I felt the variety of groceries, combined with their in house prepared foods were plentiful, fresh, and organized well to find. It has been a great shopping experience! read more

I don't usually shop at Indian grocers, so it was fun to explore. Subzi Bazaar had a variety of goods, both fresh and frozen/packaged. It's a decent sized Indian grocery store for the immediate area. You'll find most if not all of what you need. Go here for bulk spices and Indian produce. Prices for Indian food are comparable, possibly less expensive than other Indian grocers I've frequented, with the exception of those found in Jersey City. This place has a little shop where you can get limited Indian snacks/entrees made-to-order. This was my first time trying bhelpuri, so I can't compare, but it was fresh and full of flavor. The chicken tikka masala was delicious. Is a snack not the best way to end your grocery trip? read more

Indian groceries in bulk! That pretty much sums up my review! This is what keeps me coming back here, plus there's tons of parking! I haven't been to the other locations, but I agree with my fellow yelpers that some..... Key word "some" items are expensive. The staples I come here for are rice, flour, lentils, Indian seasonings and Indian produce that's hard to find at your regular supermarkets. It's pretty difficult to find turmeric root and certain okras, but in here it's easy peasy! In addition, there rice and flour options are vast and in bulk, I'm talking 10-30 pound bags here folks! Thus when shopping in bulk and visiting this location, I believe it's worth it. It's my Costco for certain Indian products! Spot in and check them out! read more

Repackaged bulk spicing and unique Indian products that you can find much cheaper elsewhere (e.g. Jersey City). The extra hand in your pocket at Subzi's is for the convenience of not having to fight your way through creepy wholesale places in JC that are even filthier than this place. Exotic produce, spices and the masala naan breads are my excuse for stopping in. Now and again the frozen samosa's or pakoras are a useful grab -- but check the born on dates. Beware of the prepared food here! After several tries I found the biryani's, samosa's and pakora's not particularly fresh, greasy as heck and as others note, the dingy surroundings mess with your dining chi. read more

It is expensive but they had good deals the day I went. Got a large container of mango lassi, an assortment of sweets, a pistachio Kulfi dessert, and a large Guava Paste. 15 dollars. (Yep, not cheap.) All of the stuff I got was good. Going to try their cafe next time. Edit: Went the cafe: Solid Chicken-Egg Karathi roll. 4 for the cafe. read more

My friend Nick C. was on a mission to have me try some samosas, since I was unaware what they were. He was on a quest to enlighten me and indulge my taste buds. Walking into the store it wasn't the most appealing market I've been too. I'm not sure if it was the lighting but it was a tad dreary but nonetheless I was on a mission. This is one of the few places that you can buy safi. Reading reviews about how safi transforms your skin to a radiant goddess I had try this magic. I bought a huge bottle for $9, which is nothing for glowing skin. Moving on,their cooked food selection is very minimal but that wasn't going to stop me from trying a samosa. Being my first samosa I really have no other samosas to compare it too. The potato samosa I had was filled with spices and I thought the flavor was great, it was a bit cold and needed some type of sauce to dip it into. Pros: *Spices you wouldn't be able to find at your local grocery store *Safi *location Cons: *small selection of cooked goods *it looks run down read more

Very bad experience. Customer service below than zero. Getting a answer with very very bad attitude.

I have had bad experience twice in this store. There pricing what they mention is not what get scanned. Be careful at check out read more

Pretty nice store. I liked everything about it except that I couldn't get curry leaves there, which I thought was odd. They have just about every other produce item imaginable but not curry leaves? I don't know, maybe I was just there on a bad day. I do like that it is a really quick 5 minute drive from my place in Hackensack, I could even walk there I felt like it. I cook a lot of South Indian food and for the most part, this place has me covered. I just wish that I knew that curry leaves would be there because this place is so much easier to get to than the store in Lodi I go to more often :( read more

I'm not a regular customer of theirs but I do stop in from time to time to pick up an item or two. I usually get some dried fruit or nuts. Their almonds are fresh, delicious and well-priced. Their clients seem to be mostly ethnic Indians. I can't actually remember a time when I wasn't the only non Indian in the place. I assume this means that their offerings are authentic and well-priced. One huge issue is that, for lack of a better word, the store is filthy. Floors, shelves, glass, displays, counters and just about everything else could use a thorough cleaning. If this was a mainstream supermarket, they'd probably be closed and reviews would be dismal. They do have a cafe but I would never consider eating there because I'm so skived by the rest of the place. It's really a shame because I do like Indian food. Oh well.... read more

Here's a little tip: to get inside you have to go around the building to the back of it in order to enter the store, so technically the 'store front' is around the back. You have make a right off highway {17 North} and go down the side street a short distance to get to the parking lot and entrance.The parking lot will be on your right. Check out the two photos I added. I love to cook Indian food and this place has tons of ingredients for Indian / Middle eastern cooking, both fresh and dry ingredients. Herbs spices, basmati rice etc. This place is indispensable when it comes to finding ingredients for this type of cuisine. I buy my beans, rices and spices in bulk here. The tall man who works there {he might be the owner or manager} was friendly and helpful if you need to find something or ask a question. read more

Avoid this place. Not only do they charge higher prices, they even don't check and discard expired stock. Bought some Indian snacks and found that they were past the expiration date. In another trip we bought some fruits and vegetables and those had all gone bad. The management doesn't seem to care about quality. Have had at least three bad experiences and now I have finally decided that a trip to Jersey City is better than wasting time at Subzi Bazaar. Annapurna (Teaneck) is also a good alternative but it does not carry much variety. read more

The prices are cheap and that's where the positive portion of this review ends. If you like to shop in a disorganized, dirty, back alley in a circus like environment with rude service then this is the place for you! Products are placed in any location with no thought to store layout. Conditions are dark, dirty and cramped. During these COVID times you would think they might have a limit on persons allowed in the store but this last visit was so cramped it was a Covid cess-pool. It was incredibly un-safe. The highlight of our trip was when we were in line to purchase sweets at the sweets counter and a man standing behind us proceeded to jump in front, wedge his body into the crevice beside the counter so he could point and breath all over the sweets from the opening in the back. We told the woman managing the counter were first and she ignored us and let the man continue to order and breath all over the open sweets and gesture violently as if he were conducting some crazed orchestra. PLEASE try to follow some safety precautions or any precautions for that matter! Don't visit if you value your health!! read more

This place is amazing! While they recently upgraded the produce section (yay!), it seems they downgraded the spice selection, which to me was honestly the most incredible part of this cool store. I used to buy a 7 OZ bag of Swad red pepper flakes for 2.99. Now the only option is a 5.5 oz plastic container (overkill), much higher priced at 5.99. Still a bargain compared to getting this much red pepper at a regular market, but I came to expect that better bargain from Subzi. Perhaps they will eventually bring the spice aisle back to its original glory! And here's a rave: Masala Yogurt. I am in love. It is spicy, sweet, and rich!! You really owe it to yoourself to check this market out (and get some yogurt). read more

India is right down the street. They have everything from childhood treats to regional Masalas.

I went in to grab a few things for a dish my mom is teaching me how to make- they have a $10 min on cards. No ATM. I had to walk out after waiting in a long line and the ladies up front don't care at all about anything except the TV. Terrible place and service. I can get my things elsewhere. It's also really dirty in there. read more

FIVE STARS! Absolutely excellent Indian grocery store with a great selection of items at good prices. Will definitely go again.

This is my first review ever on Yelp because I am so disgusted by Subzi Bazaar. I am Indian and just moved to NJ from New York and was looking for a place to get staples like Tea, Atta and some Indian veggies. My experience at this store has been terrible. Here is what I found: 1) WAYY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER INDIAN STORES: The groceries are WAY more expensive than Patel bros. because this store is the only such store in the area. Edison is very far from where I live and Jersey City is a parking nightmare. Some veggies are gnarly and old and you have to sort through it carefully to get fresh veggies. 2) WORMS IN THE ATTA: I once bought Laxmi brand atta and found that the thing had little worms in it when I opened the package. I went back to return it and the owner then LECTURED me on buying the wrong brand of atta. Hello? Your atta has worms in it!!! He exchanged the atta with another brand but it was pretty disgusting that he knew there were problems with the batch but didn't do anything about it. 3) TEA WAS EXPIRED, WAY PAST SELL DATE: Most recently, I bought Brooke Bond Red Label tea because I ran out of the stuff I buy from India. The tea tasted funny. At first, I thought it was because I wasn't used to this brand. But I figured something was wrong and checked. The tea was manufactured in October 2009. I had bought the tea in March 2013. WTF people!!! That's disgusting. Please don't shop here. When you shop in America, you can confidently buy stuff that won't have worms in it or is way past its sell by date. This guy is in business because people are bound by habits and keep returning. This is no way to run a business in the community. I have a small child - what if I buy stuff from here and my kid gets ill. I feel I narrowly dodged that bullet. PLEASE STAY AWAY and maybe shop at Patel Bros. Atleast they are not dodgy like this place. Thanks for reading. read more

A pretty well stocked shop with good variety of Indian foods and spices/herbs. I wish that it was cleaner and better organized; it feels a bit like a maze. They could consult a professional to improve the layout of its isles and shelves. If a store - especially selling food - is pleasant and inviting results in enticing shoppers to browse which means higher sales! read more

What kind of store says it closes at 9pm and literally turns the lights off on the customer AT 9pm!?!? I understand closing the doors at 9pm, but they literally turned the lights off on the store aside from the registers. The manager considered it completely good business practice to do so. read more

Called before coming and was told they had what I needed(red henna) then I get there and it's like oh we don't have. Then every question I asked is I don't know, I mean really? I hate going to a store and they don't know their product. read more

They have great variety of Indian groceries.always find what I want. I wish they would sell special herbs & spices from Nepal as well.

I am not Indian but my husband is. I shop in Subzi Bazaar in Rochelle Park EVERY WEEK and I will tell you THEY ARE NOT EXPENSIVE!!! As a matter-of-fact, their prices are much lower than the major groceries stores in the area. Tell me, when is the last time you purchased a box of Morton Salt for .75 cents ? ? ? Well I did just this past Saturday, August 3, 2013! Subzi Bazaar definitely meets my needs, at a very good price! read more

Frankly, I might have given them 5 stars, but it would have been for doing something they are supposed to do, and that far too many Indian groceries do not: the food is fresh. Still, the friendly staff, the nice selection (it's one of those places that is bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside), and the little restaurant inside make it my favorite place to buy Indian groceries. read more

The store is ok but way costlier than Edison and Jersey City, better go to Jersey City. Expensive store and no other option for Hackensack people thats is why running so good. read more

Please be careful at the counter. My friend had warned me that they charge you twice for items, so this time I was paying attention while at the counter. But when I went to my car and checked the bill, I found that i was charged twice for the most expensive item in the list ($9.99) . Immediately I went back, and the girl at the counter gave me $10 back. I thought she acted like she knew it. But I didnt want to make a scene in front of some Americans there, so I kept quiet. If this happens again, I will definitely report it. read more

You will get the needed Indian groceries here, but they are over priced and you should make sure that you are billed for the items you purchased. There are billing errors and the same item is billed twice and checked this only after returning home. Make sure you check the bill before leaving. You will not find expiry date on many items. read more

I just bought wheat flour(Aashirwad) from Sabzi Bazar and found that it had worms scrolling in side.
