    What a nice and well stocked grocery store. They have all the Indian essentials, both fresh produce…read moreand packaged goods. I think the produce comes in fresh Monday and Thursday, I think. They also have a busy restaurant area with a little seating area. They have a pretty affordable thali special. They have free chai too if you dine in. I came in for the samosas which were delicious, but also left with some sugarcane juice which was a sweet little surprise. A great little spot for your Indian cooking needs in the Peoria area.

    Avoid Swagat Foods - Selling Expired and Spoiled Products I…read morerecently had multiple disappointing experiences at Swagat Foods, located at 6926 N University St, Peoria, IL 61614. They have a habit of trying to sell expired items, both frozen and otherwise. When I pointed this out at the cashier, they claimed it was a mistake and assured me they would remove the items, but they seem to put them back on the shelves. In January 2024, I bought a tub of frozen ice cream from them. When we opened it, the ice cream was clearly spoiled and refrozen. It had expired in November 2023. Despite calling the store and asking them to clear out their expired items, they assured me they would, but when I returned a week later, the expired ice cream was still in the freezer. Since then, I have always checked expiration dates carefully. Last month, I purchased another tub of ice cream that wasn't expired, but both my kids threw up within hours of eating it. I tasted it, and it was clearly spoiled. When I called the shop, they reluctantly offered a refund if I brought the receipt. When I did, Ms. Parul at the front informed me they needed to see the tub as well. I explained that I would not keep spoiled food but offered to bring the empty tub when I returned in a few weeks. When I did, she told me that I should not have emptied it and refused me a refund. When I asked to speak to her manager Mrs Dipti she refused to call her and instead asked me to come back the next day. Selling expired goods knowingly and showing no remorse when informed that children have fallen ill due to their actions is unconscionable. Expecting customers to hold onto spoiled frozen food and bring it back is unreasonable. The store also has issues regulating their freezer temperatures. Last year, I bought a frozen meat item that was spoiled, and their meat products often lack proper dates. While I understand that small businesses may operate on thin margins, the lack of honesty and transparency in selling expired or poor-quality food is disgraceful. I have filed a complaint with the IL Dept of Public Health: eh@peoriacounty.org https://idph.illinois.gov/IDPHPrograms/v_LHDDirectory/Show-V-LHDDirectory-Public.aspx. If you have experienced similar issues at this store, I urge you to take action as well, or their business practices will never change, and these serious issues will remain unaddressed.

    Bust'd Brewing busted me out of winter boredom with some beer and board games…read more Ever since I heard about Bust'd Brewing open up in Peoria Heights, I knew I'd end up there eventually and the time finally came. Emily and I both agreed that going out for a drink sounded good and I asked if she wanted to check out Bust'd and she said yup. We rolled up on a Friday night around 6pm and the place wasn't too busy. There was a couple couples in there so we grabbed a beer and took a seat and started playing some games. A coworker told me about Shut the Box and funny enough, it was on the table and we played quite a few rounds as we worked on our first beer. Emily's first beer was the That One Coach and my first one was the Cattails. I usually really enjoy hefeweizens but this one felt a bit flat. It lacked the banana and vanilla punch I am used to them having. It was good, don't get me wrong but didn't hit quite like hefeweizens usually hit. Emily said she really enjoyed her beer. I tried it but brown ales are not my cup of... beer. Once we switched to playing Anarchy Pancakes, we grabbed another beer. This time Emily got the Trailblazer and I got the Hazy not Hazy. I jokingly said the Hazy should be called Hazy not Crazy and the bartender (who I think might be one of the owners?) laughed and said she liked that. I told her she could use it for a future beer, free of charge. As we grabbed our beers, a family came in and took over the other half the big table we were at, so we hopped onto a 4-top to enjoy our new beer and new game. I really liked the Hazy not Hazy. Emily liked hers and we both wished that we would've gotten our 2nd choice for both our beers. The interior of the brewery is really nice. A lot of wood throughout and the place was brightly lit. This brewery is located in an old Subway building so if it looks like every other Subway out there, that is why. On the backside of the building is where The Other Dawg was located years ago. It is a bit small inside so if they are busy or are hosting an event, it could get crowded quick in there. They have a giant Connect Four and a plentiful board game collection to enjoy while you are there. I absolutely love that these social establishments are providing fun stuff to do and providing a place for people to gather and socialize. As we were paying our tab, I picked up a t-shirt and some stickers. The shirt was $25 (I think) and the stickers were $1 each. Emily grabbed a beer opener for $5. In hindsight, I wish I would've gotten a beer opener, too. Not just to support a local business but they were pretty good quality, too. If you need a social spot to grab some beer and space to play some board games, Bust'd Brewing should make your list. They also have a ton of events to attend if that's more your thing. Cheers!

    This is a cool little brewery, Heather is an amazing and very friendly bartender, the beer is good…read more I'd highly recommend this place for anyone passing through Peoria
