All India Sweets & Groceries, Bakersfield CA

I've shopped here a few times. I am a black woman and every time I shop here, I am either ignored or followed. The staff is not rude but they also aren't friendly (towards me) Luckily I know what I need so it makes shopping there easier. The store is over crowded with product so it looks unkempt but they always have what I need.

I don't like shopping where my patronage isn't valued or appreciated. It's 2023 and it's sad that racism & ignorance still exists between minorities. All races, cultures, religion, gender and skin color should be welcome in your place of business.

I could just shop on Amazon but I love shopping local and being able to look at products and ask questions with real people. I will continue to shop there with the hopes that the service will improve.

Great store and a good experience went to get some groceries the workers were nice and felt very welcoming. I will be going again and highly recommend it.

Panama Lane location in Bakersfield, California: People in this store are a bunch of racists. If u r black, the female employee follows u around the store. What will anyone wanna steal in this little tightly packed space? I mean, one female employee followed me around, stood less than a foot from me in the rice area. I am done; plus they talked to me like a piece of trash. Trust me, u need all the business u can get from all persons.

Went to get some sweets and lentils had many varieties. The owners were good and had good service I recommend it to families and friends and will be going again.
