India Sweets & Spices

Check the expiration dates on groceries you buy at this store. We saw MANY items that were past expiration. The owner said that items like dal never expire. if you believe that, this is the store for you. I can't say enough about India Sweets and Spices. i really want to like this place but I find it impossible. Fortunately, there are other India shops in Fresno.

I came here to purchase some hair color for my mother who uses the henna. I went to another store that I normally purchase from and they did not have it so I remembered this one and I went over there to see if they had it and to my surprise they did it. And also advertise this to be Indian fast food which I did not know it is a very organized and clean store. There is a market side that has freshProduce and food that you can purchase. There is also a restaurant area. And a third section of the store which is more for household goods and they have a variety of cultural event items. I really like that they had a very good refrigeration for all of their dessert type of products. And their cultural event items were beautiful just things that I have never seen before with many colors. There was also a TV on playing shows that were in the Indian language. The cashier was very polite he spoke very clearly to me and asked me was there anything else He could help me with.

Gross nasty food, The guy behind the counter was overcharging prices. Watch out for him. I saw him picking his nose while serving the food gross I would never eat here again

It's very worst worst worst place....Nothing to say anything already people wrote lot of negative reviews so I don't want waste my time hereA-z=0

I stopped by here on my way home from sequoia and kings canyon natl park. I was originally planning to go to Brahma bull , but I saw this place in a strip mall on the way and decided to check it out and am glad I did. Like others have said, they have a food counter inside the grocery store. I had the makki roti (maize flour indian bread ) with saag (mustard greens), pav bhaji (bread with spicy mixed and mashed vegetables ) and some sweets. The sweets were ok, but the other 2 dishes tasted great and were a good deal for the price. Will surely stop by if I visit again. All the dishes on their menu are vegetarian and they have chaat items, north indian, south indian and appetizers , milk shakes etc.

Over expensive placeBought sweets they did give reciept i had to ask for it and i noticed prices are super high as compare to other storesSuper duper expensive

Getting essential ingredients, like curry leaves, garam masala, and paneer is a head scratcher for an international student in america- especially in Fresno, or even for someone who is looking to cook a completely authentic indian recipe- where the essential ingredients are not simply available at the local trader joes or whole foods. The great news is, India sweet and spices not only carries a huge variety of ingredients to make that delicious pot of briyani, but it also carries a wide range of Indian toiletries, dried foods, frozen goods, teas, pots and pans (indian style), metal plates, bowls and glassware (like in india) and even sweet desserts such as freshly made indian cakes and ice cream. There is even a quick vegetarian restaurant located within this grocery, with seats and everything- and their food is good!Essentially the store is divided into 6 separate sections: 1. The frozen and perishable goods - where naan breads, parathas, paneer (goat cheese) and essential indian vegetables such as okras, methi (fenugreek leaves), brinjal, curry leaves and so much more is easily available year round. 2. The dessert bar- filled with 10-30 varieties of colorful authentic indian dessert (normally found in india), can be purchased by the piece or by the dozen. mix and matching is a great way to taste the different varieties of traditional indian desserts. Don't also forget about the hand made conical shaped indian ice cream known as kulfi, only available as this store. ( available in 5-6 different flavors) 3. The spice, tea, and dried rack - where you could get all the essential spaces like turmeric, cumin, coriander, dried mango powder, aniseed, black cardamom, cloves, garam masala, green cardamom, poppy seed (khus khus), saffron, tamarind and so much more. They also sell bitter gourd tea, and other lose leaf tea such as earl grey. 4. Fresh gourmet Indian street food/snacks - vegetarian options of all indian street food such as pani puri, pav bhaji, idli, dosa, vellayappam, yellow and black dhal, bhaji, samosas, paratha, poori and so much more. They are all affordable, prices ranges from $4- $9. There is even a proper seating area. 5. The pots, pans and utensils - every stainless pot, pan, glass, bowl, tiffin, utensil. serving bowl, cooker, masala dhaba, idli cooker, that one can imagine is available here. Someone who wants to cook and serve an indian meal in an authentic indian platter would find this place a heaven, and for an indian mum or student, this place would be the place to come to get your kitchen essentials as you arrive. 6. Indian costume jewelries and Praying goods.There are gorgeous indian costume jewelries and accessories perfect for a complete Indian dress up, everything from bangles to earnings and even slippers to compliment the whole look. Additionally this place sells all the indian god statues and prayer essentials, even holi powder- the colorful powder. They of course have henna and perfumes. Overall the store in my opinion is well stocked, and carries essentially everything to help me make an authentic indian cooking at home. The owners are also fairly friendly to help first timers. The size of this store is pretty impressive, since its quite big, there are plenty of parking located right in frontt of the store, and many more in its private lot. Definitely my to go for Indian essential grocery goods.
