Apna Bazar

A great spot to get excellent food hidden in the back of a grocery store. They have so many items to choose from. See their extended menu. So flavorful and good. Note that they only serve vegetarian options. With food this tasty, you won't even miss the fact that there's no meat

I have been in Indian stores and restaurants and this is the first time they made me feel so uncomfortable! It was clear that they didn't like our presence in the store. I love graying new food and pastries and since I was looking for this kind of sweets and it was on my way I decided to stop and check this store. As soon as we came in we felt the unwelcome look from the people working in there. There were couple of customers and they were acting the same way. I don't know if I was not dress properly for this store or something. The sweets are very good. Just the way I thought they be. So sad I am not coming back to get more. I definan not coming back. I have never encounter hostile people in the Punjabi Comunity. Usually they are very kind and nice. Really disappointed.

They make really great samosas! They are ALWAYS fresh, well seasoned without being spicy, and are a hit whenever I share these with co workers and friends. These are also priced very well at just $1 per samosa. I highly recommend.

I'm back in the hood and this place is still a gem!!!. They offer meal entrees now since I've last been around (4+ years). Eating their food made me ask myself, what did I do in life to be blessed with such good food?!I ordered my favorite, aloo gobi, got something else I don't know what it's called but it was like a soup with peas and paneer, samosas and a side of rice. I was blown away. The aloo gobi was perfectly seasoned and the soft texture of the cauliflower and potatoes was on point. The pea soup was new to me. It was a savory gravy soup broth. The peas outside was still intact and solid and when you bite it, you meet the soft gushy inside of the peas that have absorbed the spices of the broth with a kick of spice. The paneer provides a complimentary milky and chewy texture to the peas. The rice was light, fluffy and buttered. There were some parts that had that soft crispness that rice can get when it sits on like a pan or something. I love that texture in rice as it complimented the meals. Their samosas are always good but I was reminded tonight of just how tasty they are! They potatoes inside were fluffy and not overly seasoned or greasy. Honestly, best Indian food I've had in a pandemic minute and it's close to home - which is even better!It felt super home made with love, like my Indian mother in law made it for me and her son. Except I'm not married. Food is that good, fam.Check out the market. I bought some frozen goods to try like the naan and some wraps for the first time. I'll see how that tastes yet we all know, what's best is fresh.Thank you, my Indian mama! I'll be back.

I only learned of this place a week ago and shopped here for ingredients to make ginger masala chicken.The interior didn't have that much light and some natural sunlight helps illuminate the environment. Boxes are found lying on the ground and there seems to be a shortage of staffs.Had trouble at first to search for masala powder and cloves, but luckily I found them. Each were up to $4.Found myself in the soda aisle in front of the refrigerator/freezer. Thumbs Up were both contained in can and glass bottles. I opted for the glass bottles. A bottle for Thumbs Up costs $1.53, before sales tax.What surprised me was that they served dessert and snack at the back, next to the cashier. They looked good, I wasn't interested at the time. Looking back, I probably consider getting one of the snack/dessert.Despite the crowdedness of the boxes and dim luminescent of the environment, Apna Bazar is worth seeing for Indian products: ingredient, goods, and cooking equipment. It's also worth trying their dessert or snack. They do sale a whole bag of Onions at the door -- so produce is included. I definitely recommend.

I love the samosas here. When I crave them or if I have family over I would normally call ahead and order about a dozen they are to die for and when I pick them up they are fresh and hot from the fryer. They are very friendly and have fast service. I also get the medium size bag of basmati rice and they have quite a selection to choose from.

The food is good, but I do not feel welcomed by or trusting of the people who work there. I don't think I'll be going back, out of concern for personal and energetic safety. I will not allow people who are giving me dirty looks power over preparing my meal. Hopefully, you learn how to accept people who are different than you. I still have an appreciation for your culture, despite your poor example of it. Namaste.

We were notified of last minute guests coming by and I had to make a run for Indian sweets. I tried a few other places and was told it was too late in the afternoon to have the quantity I needed (2.5 lbs). I went to Apna Bazar and not only did they have the sweets, they had a variety of items that everyone loved. I noticed the groceries and the restaurant and I will definitely be back here again.

I have eaten here many many times and not sure why I didn't review this place on yelp. When it comes to food I'm very particular and hard to please. This place has always met my expectation and done a fantastic job! 1) 99% this is the cleanest, well organized true vegetarian/vegan restaurant/grocery store you will find in Fresno.2) It's in a bit odd location, which is not a big deal.3) Their samosa, Cholay, chutney are best in comparison to other Indian places in Fresno.4) Must try Chole Bhature order. authenticity of the home-cooked meal along with well-balanced spices and herbs.5) Both partners Mr. Singhs are good people, If you have a complaint they work with you to rectify the issue.Thanks, Apna Bazar for providing good service. I hope you can keep up the same recipes and not make any changes to them.

The service is great. Owner's are kind and very helpful. Clean and prioritized. Vegetarian options only and food is great! I recommend this business.
