Apni Mandi Farmers Market Sunnyvale - Sunnyvale, California

Indra Singhal

Amazingly well stocked - broad variety of ethnic and seasonal merchandise. This may become our preferred store for Indian groceries.

The store also has a kitchen that serves up fresh sweets, chaat (street food), and takeout entree... Must try next time!

Fun place to find snacks and groceries. The line can get long, there are many choices. We shared a veggie pakora and a couple of samosas. It came with chutneys. The green was really spicy. The items were tasty. Even the samosa was nice enough for my parents who tend not to like spicy foods. They also appreciated the tamarind sauce. Service was nice and efficient. Another time we visited, I ordered from the menu, they said "10 minutes." I was a little disappointed when the other items, just fried, were included but they were not crispy anymore. Perhaps give the customer the ready items while they wait for the rest of their order. A couple we sat with shared their jelabi, it was not freshly made. It did not pop with a sugar burst on your palette and crunch between your teeth. Had a snack recently. Samosa and a pastry with veggie. Service was helpful and kind.

I was in the bay area for five days, and I visited this place more than twice daily. The reason is it is open 24 x 7 and any time you have hunger pangs, you can just come here. This is a grocery store, but they also sell Indian food. They have free chai, which is quite ordinary, but then given that it is free, most people still get it. I have tried many food items such as the Samosa, the puffs, the chaat, chole bhature, Thali etc. And all were decent. It wasn’t mind blowing, but then it was good basic tasty food. The portion size is however humongous, and it is difficult for one person to finish a complete portion. Definitely give this place a try if you’re hungry at night.

Shocking Discovery: Rusted Metal Piece in My Subji

I made a disturbing discovery today (12/04) when I ordered a combo meal consist of rice, vegetable subji, chapati, and a choice of curry. As I was eating the veg subji, I bit a rusted metal piece. I immediately lost my appetite.

When I brought this to the staff attention, they offered to replace the dish. However, it took them a while to decide on a course of action, ultimately removing the suspicious subji from serving to customers. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done.

The lack of quality control in the kitchen is alarming. If you still plan to eat here, I advise you to inspect your food carefully and be prepared for any consequences.

The customer service was terrible. They sold us a damaged and torn wheat flour bag, and when we tried to return and exchange it within 10 minutes of purchase and notifying them, they simply refused. They lack basic courtesy and have no understanding of how to operate a customer-focused business.

They serve amazing pani puri with 5 flavors. Also the dahi puri served inside is very flavorful. Must try

This is aloo tickie chat, stale, no taste and tickle was so hard has more beans then potato. Waste of money and time. It was toss in garbage by me.
Also kitchen person took my order and said it would be ready in 15 min. They took 29 min. I would never go to that place.

I bought haldiram cocktail samosas from apni mandi - 2 boxes with 75 each, and opened the box within 10 mins of purchase. There was visible mold in both boxes. Printed expiry on box was for 2025.

They did accept the return, luckily I found the receipt. But I am so concerned about buying any frozen items from stores like these now.

I have stored food items for 1-2 yrs in freezer and never ever saw mold . And haldiram is an extremely reputable brand, known for quality. I think apna bazar or it's supplier did not keep the food frozen at all times . I suggest everyone to inspect their food closely , and keep receipts around.

Btw, the same day I had first bought two boxes of same item from Karthik(another store whose owner is same as apni mandi). Their samosas also had mold. But much fewer pieces had mold (the ones on the bottom) and we fried the ones on the top already. Once we found the mold, we obviously discarded everything, and got refund from Karthik, but we wasted half a gallon of oil, and the time to return and go to another store (apni mandi) on the day when we had a party.
We had to order food from a restaurant at last min because apparently this item was moldy across multiple stores owned by apni mandi and we obviously did not have the time to arrange from another place.
