India Sweets & Groceries, Riverside CA

Great place to get Indian products. Most of other Indian stores are lacking. The owner has changed in last year. Always check the expiry date of the product. Do not buy soda or juices. Their expiry dates are scuffed. Other productz have legitimate expiry dates.

I’m not really sure where to start. The store was very unorganized and I couldn’t tell who was an employee other than the uncle behind the counter. The girl who helped me was nice but the uncle kept speaking punjabi to me. I am pakistani but for the life of me, I don’t understand punjabi save for a few words here and there. I was asking if they had chamcham or rasgulla since they had fresh methai. Girl told me yes. I asked for just 1 or 2 so I could try and if I liked it i would come back next week to buy more for my family. Instead of telling me they didn’t have it, she went to the back cut a gulaab jamun in half, put unflavored cream, crushed pistachio and a cherry on top LOL maybe they thought I was clueless so they just sold me something random and called it chamcham. I just paid for my stuff and left. Won’t be going back

It was great although they didn't have the item I was looking for they were very helpful and pointed me in the right direction

Prices are hiked up. And the place is disgusting, idk how Americans (I’m an indian) are calling this Indian food, its not even authentic. Most of items are expired and they still sell them and place has roach infestation

The store was too junky inside no room to walk stuff all over the place. I bought some " fresh snacks" to bring home they were not that fresh tasting. Store was a big disappointment

The quality of packaged goods sold here are extremely bad. I got a spicy bhel mix and when I opened it, there was a nauseating pungent smell. The same goes with the other packaged product like Toor Dal. Adding to this, I’m never given a receipt unless or otherwise asked. The billing machine is also set in such a way that you don’t get to see the items billed. Don’t ever care about waiting in a line because the concept is just not present there. They give priority and serve customers they know even if you got there in the queue before them. I doubt all the goods present there are either expired or you don’t see a date manufactured on them.

In spite of all the above issues, I kept going to them until I was disappointed yesterday with the bhel mix.

I’m never going there again.

I absolutely loveee this store! The uncle always treats me so warmly, reminds me of home! The food is sooo delicious that all my white friends always go here when they crave for Indian food! Especially the chole and the paneer! The garlic naans are so yum and mouthwatering! Would definitely recommend this place!

Cheap, decent Indian food! Not gourmet! New owners are NOT as food savvy as the long time prior owners.

This little shop is stuffed with wide variety of Indian groceries, including some fresh vegetables, hot food and Indian sweets.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade and had nothing but good wonderful service from the man that ran the shop always, he even remembered my parents and asked about them when I came in without them, but today there were new people working, and a man just completely disregarded my presence while I stood in front of him and later helped men that came in after me. I don’t care what misogyny exists in your culture, you need to come correctly in America because it’s 2021. I will never recommend this place again.

I love this place the gentleman at the store was very helpful and asked me, “ mam how may I assist you? ”
Very good variety

If you miss indian ingredients, its one of the best places to get all those if you live near UC Riverside

The location is not in an ideal location as there are lot of graffitis around the store area. The pricing is okay compared to other Indian stores. One thing which outstands this store from other Indian stores is that you do not need to go to Indian hotel/restaurant to eat Indian dishes as they cook Indian dishes and also have chairs and tables to eat inside the store.

This place deserves 10 stars. Great people with customer service priorities. Groceries n fresh cooked meals are very yummy better than 5 star indian restaurant. Their prices on fresh cooked food is about 70% less than other indian restaurants.

Highly recommend this place. Hands down.

Amazing store, the owners are super friendly. The store was clean and organized, had a lot of variety of products. They have food to go as well, which is beyond tasty (it's divine), and it's super affordable as well. This is my new favorite store. Keep up the great work!

Exceptional spot to have some food when in a rush. The customer service is rapid, rates are convenient, awesome atmosphere. I highly recommend this place
