India Grocers is the most stocked Indian store you will find in Dublin. We have three stores in few blocks including Patel brothers but when I tell you India Grocers has everything you would be looking for from Indian grocery stand point. Spices, frozen food, lentils and fresh vegetables They stock up on festival food and items during seasonal celebrations like Holi and DiwaliIt gets very busy during the weekendAmbiance can be crowded as they stock way more options than standard grocery storesDefinitely one of the best Indian store we have in our town

I love to shop here. Its a small place and organized very well. They have so many options available which I haven't found around a lot of bigger indian stores. The staff is frendly and helpful. The prices are a little higher when compared to other indian store but it worth it for the wide varieties of options available in groceries, dry good, freshness in their produce and quantity they sell.

Here's the thing. When you walk in the door, I bet you anything, the guy at the counter is talking on the phone. Not sure the language, it could be business, or personal, for sure it's consuming. He doesn't look up. If you interrupt to ask a question, he will quickly respond. But, the info may be wrong. Huh??? It happened to me. BTW, people working here don't ask you if you need help. I'm use to it now. (However, other customers can be extremely helpful if you ask.) The Bollywood soundtrack playing adds to the shopping experience.If you are gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian this is the spot for you. They have an extensive selection of both frozen and dry goods, overwhelming if you don't know what you want. Impressive for the space. A variety of beans and rice, Dahl, spices, sauces and tea, to mention a few. In the freezer you will find cheap items like Samosas, patra leaves and Chick pea cakes. All great to have on hand for quick appetizers when guests are over. Fresh produce is cheaper than you would find at the chain grocer. (You may want to ask when their shipment day is) You can find shelled peanuts, juices, yogurt, eggplant, green beans, potatoes, curry leaves, lychee, jumbo ginger,etc. If you like ketchup and mild heat, the hot & sweet tomato chili sauce is a must buy, so many ways to use it.Just so you know, the other person at the counter, during busy times, is a female. Seemingly, she doesn't speak English? But point to the fresh samosas in the display case for 99¢. A good buy. Also, the fresh dessert case below is mouth watering. They have the familiar gulab samun soaked in honey. Yum. One more thing, Saturday and Sunday seems like the community shopping day, busy. Even though I am not feeling the customer service, I'll rate India Grocers a 4, acknowledging what may be a cultural gap.

Authentic Indian grocery store? I'm kinda obsessed. I'm so excited, I'm like a little kid who's gonna pee her pants. I try and try not to wiggle but I just gottttta! My friend V., who is from India, brought me to India Grocers today after I had dinner at her house a couple weeks ago and couldn't stop exclaiming about how amazing it was. She is very sweet and offered to show me around the store, explaining what everything was, and which brands were best, etc. Color me a lucky, lucky girl. I definitely suggest having someone who knows what's up take you here, otherwise, even an Indian food obsessed girl like me would have been somewhat lost - or at least not gotten the full effect. This is a small grocery, and each aisle is jammed with amazing Indian imports. There are masala mixes and spices and Indian snack food; a plentiful frozen section; wholesale sized bags of lentils, nuts, grains, flours; candy (including Cadbury's Dairy Milk - OMFG! Those of you know who know what this is *know what it is*) and biscuits; pickled items (which is different from the American version of pickling something), and hot, fresh foods as well. My friend bought me a samosa, which was out of this world - better than at Udipi, my favourite Indian restaurant in Cbus. I was basically stiffling myself from exclaiming every other step I took, so as not to disturb those who were seriously shopping. I did think it was cool that a young couple who were not Indian were shopping here - so, this place is pretty authentic if that was something I noticed. This grocery is everything I expected it to be and more - it's really straightforward, just about the products, really - which is truly where it's at. It points out how excessive Americans, American packaging, and American grocery stores are. It makes me wish such a Quebecoise grocery existed here in Cbus so I could show you all what I grew up eating... le sigh. V. also informed me that there is a large Indian population in Dublin, which I was unaware of - I wish, since this is the case, there were more Indian restaurants and groceries, but I suppose a girl can dream. Oh and did I mention that I bought a whole bag of Indian food for 20 bucks - including a huge box of nag champa for just $2.50?! And finally, another really great point about this store is how friendly the staff are - when I was ringing up, V. and the clerk were talking, and he told me that if I ever came back (which I absolutely absolutely will), he would help me find things. How purely wonderful is that? Samosa in belly. Groceries in cupboard. Bliss.

Went in here today to specifically find some cooking sauces. When I looked at what was available (first ailse, towards the front, bottom shelf) I found EVERYTHING covered with dust and expired over two years ago. Check it out for yourself. This place should be shut down by the health authorities. I came in with good expectations but left highly disappointed and wondering why the staff does not check their shelves.

Just visited the store and was surprised to find increased price of Nanak sweet by $2 on previously priced 6.99. Apparently this will happen on upcoming Diwali sale which will be a discount on increased prices and effectively no sale but just an eye wash for customers who believe in sale prices.

For many years, it has been a tradition for small Indian Grocers to sell samosas on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This place has done a wonderful job of that. Recently they started selling them every day of the week, which is a hurrah. But beyond samosas, they also sell a number of other handmade Indian treats. Food is great; prices are great.April, 2019. Rating dropped from 5 stars to 2. The worst Samosas I ever ate now. They have someone new making them, someone who is cutting corners unbelievably. Samosas should be made of chopped potatoes and peas. These were made of mashed potatoes with almost no peas. Really, really bad!
