Indian Sweets & Spices

The store is a wonderful gem! The stuff is kind and the shelves are well-stocked with so many options. Bonus points for offering plenty of gluten-free frozen prepared dishes, such as the batata Vada which is so so good

Overall: If I'm in the area I'll probably stop by and pickup a samosa and a sweet treat.Samosas: My favorite part was the hot veggie samosas in a case near the register that other reviews raved about. They were hot, flaky, spicy, and hit the spot. I think they were something like$1.25-1.50, so not too expensive. Now were they the best ever? Not quite, just like gas station pizza isn't some wood-fire Neapolitan pizza or something, BUT if you temper your expectations, they're solid. If gas stations across the US served these samosas I might never fill up without getting one. IF they added a little takeout container with some sauce I'd be over the moon but the samosas were still good as is.Sweets: Right next to the samosas is a display case with sweets. We got a few pieces of khoya barfi and a few gulab jamun. These were good and if I'm in the area I'd definitely like to try more. Issues: The sign said there was a 1/2lb minimum order and that the items were charged by weight but then when we were rung up the items were 50 cents each...maybe the signage is outdated? Also, most of the items weren't labeled, so I couldn't pull out my phone and search for details on the items. When I asked the shopkeeper about the sweets he was less than accommodating and didn't offer any details, not sure if there was a language barrier. Everything still tasted good though so no worries, just gotta try stuff out.

This place is THE SPOT for Indian sweet treats. Man they have a huge selection and they are super tasty. The owner and his wife make a bunch of yummy stuff. The samosas omg!! I will drive across town for these some days. They just knock. Perfect crisp, not too much dough, yummy potatoes and peas, with just the right amount of kick. So cheap too. Like 4 for $5. You don't even need sauce.They make dishes and freeze then plus some breads. Anything Indian you will find here.I just wish he would start selling the sweets mixed up again. I'm one person and don't need a pound of one sweet treat, I like the mixes but there's always someone ruining it for the whole bunch. Regardless, I love this place!

We come here exclusively for their samosas. They are - hands down - THE BEST! Perfect consistency and flavour. Definitely worth the drive!

This is the place for Indian groceries during lockdown! I ordered from here for the first time because we were craving poha but not wanting to risk shopping in person at our previous place.They have everything we could possibly need: poha, fresh curry leaves, lots of varieties of frozen paratha, a huge number of spices, etc. We also tried the fresh samosas and they were great. They have other premade foods like sambar, dal, etc. which seem like a good deal - we got a big tub of chana masala for $12.Ordering online was straightforward, and the store even responded quickly when I asked where to find something. I got an email letting me know when it was ready. Pickup was smooth - we waited in the parking lot and phoned to let them know, then a friendly man came out with our groceries and loaded them into the car. I really appreciate the effort this business has put into safety during COVID-19.Overall, I'll definitely be ordering again soon and will make this my new spot for Indian groceries.

Indian Sweets & Spices is located in Shoreline's North City neighborhood and shares a parking lot with other smaller businesses and also Les Schwab tires across the way. The Homie's Indian history professor introduced his UW class to a particular sweet confection called, soan papdi. This was his second visit and my first on 3/14/24. It was nice to be able to wander the aisles and peer at the wide variety of items available at this retail shop...canned and packaged items, spice bins, refrigerated and frozen items, fresh produce, etc. The Homie ended up selecting another box of soan papdi, a malt beverage, and some chai tea for purchase. The shop was clean, well stocked, and surveillance cameras strategically positioned. One person was in/out of the shop doing restocks, while the other person sat stoically at the front register by the entrance. There were other shoppers while we were there, so it's good to see that the others find it useful for their needs. I wished there were helpful signage for the various items featured in the front pastry case though. I only recognized gulab jamun. I didn't feel particularly assertive to inquire further. Overall Yelp score was 3.5, rounded to a 4.

I have been a customer for years here. They have a wide variety of goods-spices, packaged foods, sauces, and bulk products. The shop always smells wonderful and is fun to explore.I am writing this review in the time of COVID-19, and their shop not only has excellent ratings of cleanliness from the county, but they have gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Their veggie samosas are so good. I got 4/$5, and they are so flavorful with the perfect amount of kick. This is a family business worth patronizing-they have always been a pleasure to visit and they have given my family wonderful recommendations. We can't wait to come here again.

Pros:- Good selection of products.- Store was clean.Cons:- There were only two staff in the whole store. One was just sitting next to the door with his cap on. And this guy was a creep.- The other person, the cashier was visibly frustrated when I asked for price on TWO items. I had to ask for it since majority of items were missing a price tag.- EXPENSIVE. Save yourself $$, and go to any Indian grocery store in the Bothell area. Aashirwad multi-grain aata (10 kgs) for $27.99, it is retailing online for $22.99. Also, the Bothell area India grocery stores offer 10% discount if you shop $100+ or 5% if $50+.- Overall, it was far from a pleasant experience and I definitely feel cheated.

The samosas were delicious with just enough spiciness to slow me down from eating the full dozen! Can't wait to try the gulab jamun I bought as carry out. Thank you!

I simply don't understand any good reviews here. This place is the ultimate destination of expired products combined with a great deal of maintaining a store so so filthy. One time here made me never wanting to step foot inside ever again. Much better to drive further to a proper Indian grocery store where cleanliness, quality and basic etiquette matters.
