Lakshmi Bazaar - San Jose, California

The best part of the store is that it's not very busy. Probably for a good reason. You get most of the staples you get at Indian grocery stores. Not the freshest or the cheapest produce.

However, what prompted me to write the review is, it's the third time I bought something from them that's expired or spoiled. See the attached photos of expired drink they are selling 5 months after expiry.

Customer service is also abysmal. I have been going to the store for several years and never, literally never, have seen any storekeeper smile. They look at you like they hate you.

But still, if it's close to your place and you don't like crowds, you can get stuff here.

I’m from fremont, just visited this place. Bought ? only. Very neat and clean. Items well organized some items doesn’t have price info on the stall. Vegetables and spinach are fresh. They sell prepared snacks, food gravy. Felt little pricey than fremont shops.

Edit 4/9/22: Have to drop my rating for this place. Prices keep increasing without limit and food quality seems to have gone downhill. Their Chili Chicken has not much meat and is stringy and tough. Save your money and go elsewhere where you can get much better quality.

Older review: Really like the clean cut packaged veggies and all the precooked food. Also plenty of spices and other Indian stuff as well as fresh groceries.
Love their peel garlic 1/2 lb for $2.50
Also have tasty cooked dishes you can buy by container

I love this store because they have everything I need from sweets to fresh vegetables. It is very clean, you can tell it is well maintained. But my issue is the customer service. I came in at around 1:00 pm , the lady managing the counter was extremely rude to me. I have never been treated like that before, she was very disrespectful and condescending towards me .I chose to remain calm and walked out of the store . I feel like she is overworked because from observations it is a very high volume store and management needs to do something to help her . She was clearly taking her frustrations out on me .despite this negative experience I do feel sorry for the lady . I hope she can get the help she deserves, I can tell she is a very hard worker who needs a little support.

You can get cut vegetables. But they are slightly on the higher side in price.

Standard Indian supermarket - bit messy, stuffed to the gills, with patchy service. Among positives: They usually have a fresh vegetables selection, and fresh cooked snacks like samosas, pakoras, Roti's. Lots of sweets in the fridge as well. Most packaged Indian goods you expect are in stock as well.

Fantastic selections of lentils, spices, some unique greens.

I went to get the 20lb ride bag and they were pretty expensive compared to other Indian stores (such as Trinethra)
