Kundan Restaurant & Grocery: Reviews & Ratings
Has everything you need. Was impressed by the variety of parathas, I had been looking all over the city for it. Helpful people, good inventory.
The first time i went here, i instantly enjoyed coming here and I kept coming back for more. The staff is friendly, kind and helpful. They have everything you'd find at a typical grocery store, but instead, it's all Indian based. There's even a restaurant! They have my favorite things such as the frozen dinner meats, the large specialty drinks(aloe drinks, mango, etc.) and frozen naan.
Check out this place! You need to walk inside to get to the restaurant, somewhat hidden, but it is fantastic! They served us specialty items off the menu, and treated us like family! The palak paneer was so delicious with sweet naan. I highly recommend trying this place, you just need to walk in to find the restaurant!
Very well priced grocery store. Staff is incredibly kind and made us fresh bread for free.
Food was very fresh . Rice didn't have the fart smell to it , i had the Lamb Vindaloo with the garlic naan. It was the best Indian food i ever had . "Medium-hot" is enough to get all the flavor you want with a little kick .
Just a delightful little Indian grocery. If you are looking for an Indian product, from spices to mixes, to incense, this is the place. They have a big frozen food section, with so good variety. The fresh vegetables looked great, and the prices were comparable to any grocery store. The store was spotlessly clean, and the people working were helpful and friendly. If you know what you want, they'll have it, and if you just want to start adding Indian dishes to your repertoire, they can help you get started. If only they had a little cafe, with fresh foods (like dosas, hint hint) I think I'd move in!
This international grocery is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I was quite surprise the large variety of Indian/Asian goods with fresh vegetables. We perused the clean and very well organized aisles. Plenty NaN and paratha breads, fresh veggies (banana hearts, long beans, egg plants, etc); they also sell cooking utensils, miscellaneous items like handbags, scarves, and more. As we walked in, we were greeted by a couple of the staff and asked if we were looking for a particular item. The store has an aroma of different spices, more indian spices, which reminded me some of my favorite Indian dishes like chicken masala and tandoori. I highly recommend this place to all fellow yelpers. Check it out!
