India Market

Hello this is a good grocery store for Indian and middle eastern food and goodies. The parking is free and on the front of the building.However, the prices are so expensive and the quality is not that good to price it that way. Sometimes the product is expired so pay attention to the dates or labels .I think they must think to drop some of their products prices .

I like a hole in the wall, but this market is a hot mess. I don't understand the high rating. The shelves are way too close together and there is no logical order. Glass jars are stacked high. There is food on the floor. The clerks, while friendly, don't know where stuff is. My daughter asked for canned garbanzo beans and they said they didn't have them, but they did (I found them). They couldn't find a mix that we asked for, but we later did.I was looking for fresh naan, but they only had frozen. So, I'm guessing they have the corner on Indian ingredients in Honolulu. The positive is that they carry a lot of the necessities for Indian cooking. They staff is friendly and they have a private parking lot.

It's better to preorder the day before if you want a good amount of Samosas. Once I was lucky and another was walking out without!

This place is located at the top corner of Moiliili Park on Beretania and Isenberg. I just noticed it when I was going to McCully Bike. Apparently they have been in business for 20 years but used to be located down the block on King St. They do have a small parking lot but there also is parking along the park. They have all kinds of Indian groceries and the prices are pretty reasonable, especially when you consider you are in Hawaii. Generally it is hard to find good Indian food in Hawaii so it helps to have a place like this in a convenient location. Check them out.

India Market is a one stop shop for all your South Asian food needs. Located at the corner of Beretania and Isenberg, they have free dedicated parking right outside. Entrance is in the rear, but it's hard to miss from the front while driving by. Inside the entrance you'll find the frozen and refrigerated selections. Dry goods, cans, jars, etc. are throughout the store with bulk rice and other items at the far back. Snacks are around the cash register, with beauty products behind. This is not just Indian foods but groceries from all around that part of the world. You'll find sauces, curries, canned vegetables, jarred/pickled items, and snacks. Their chocolate selection ranges from India to New Zealand; so many different companies and types. Prices seem reasonable or on par with items at big grocery stores, but the brands and selection here are much more extensive.One highlight - I went in to buy homemade samosas one day but she had completely sold out. I was told most days shortly after lunch they are gone for the day, but calling in to preorder is welcome. Another week I did that, calling in the morning and choosing a pickup time. This is great option for events as they're easy to eat, come with sauce, and only cost $1.50/each. They are some of the best I've had with flaky outsides and soft insides of potato/pea with curry. Whether you're here for just samosas or to buy groceries to cook a meal at home, I recommend stopping in!

I have mixed feelings about this place considering the last couple visits I had. The first two times I was able to try their fresh samosas and even called ahead to make sure I could order some the second visit. The older lady who owns the place was always nice to me. The samosas are good, but they give a side of sweet chili which is not traditional. Would be nice to come with some chutney instead. However, the last few times I visited, a younger female (maybe daughter?) was working and was quite unkind/rude to me. I tried calling ahead (there is a sign that says to call ahead to order samosas) and she just kept telling me no we can't do that and would abruptly hang up the phone. This happened 4 times in a row and unfortunately probably won't be returning again. A shame, since I enjoyed getting samosas and shopping here. Other cons:-Kind of overwhelming considering how much stuff they have in here. -overpriced for some items -Aisles are disorganized and might take you some time to find things. Might be better to ask them for what you need.-extra charge for credit card usage -area is shady and wouldn't leave car there too long while you're shopping-Check expiration dates since some things are expiring sooner than you think!

Lately I've been craving Indian cuisine and came here to find black mustard seeds and fresh curry leaves, which I couldn't find in other stores, for a tofu curry recipe.The aisles are narrow with shelves stocked full of aromatic spices you don't often find elsewhere such as fenugreek and cardamom pods. Jars of exotic premade sauces and fancy dips sit alongside packages of snacks (spiced chickpeas), biscuits, sweets and more.A fridge and freezer section feature pre-made packaged food. Here you'll also find ghee, tahini and basmati rice.Do check out the fresh made samosas ($1.50), a crispy pocket filled with curried potato and peas. I've come here, too, for premade spice mixes to make Chana masala and tikka masala. Take advantage of free parking in a private lot and avoid street parking in the neighborhood if you can.

Love this place. I love Indian cuisine and I'm so glad this store exists in Hawaii to find all the ingredients I need to cook delicious Indian food. Their samosas are soo good too make sure to ask for sweet chili sauce with it.

Such a great addition to ethnic grocery options! Found a wide variety of Middle East staples (tahini and garbanzo) plus Kanafeh dough. Great selection of Indian spices. A little disappointed they didn't have any papadams. Didn't find the clerk particularly helpful and beware of the expiration dates! Found a can of cream expired in 2022.

Be prepared to have your senses hit when you walk into this store! Tall shelves filled with wondrous spices, canned fruits and vegetables, condiments, snacks and candies forces you to crane your neck upwards as you move slowly from each 3-foot section to the next. The product assortment includes a nice cross-section of Indian and Nepalese food items. Make a deliberate stop at the rice section - who knew of all the strains available to choose from?!This was a real find in Honolulu. Coming from the Bay Area where good Indian food and markets are rather plentiful, the challenge was ON to find a market here in Hawaii that sells spices needed to prepare dishes at home. Found it! Love it! Coming back!
