Saraga Supermarket

We have heard such good things about this international grocery store and had been planning to visit the store at Castleton. We were pleasantly surprised that there was a store much closer to us on the Southside. Of course we went inside to explore. They have so many international food but we were told this is the smallest store of there 3 locations. Parking was at a premium and as expected they had many shoppers on a weekday morning. The produce was beautiful and they had many varieties also. There is a fresh fish area and a meat area as well as a small restaurant in the back of the store. The employees were friendly and quite helpful in locating some items that we wanted. There is a large selection of fresh, frozen and canned items. You should check this place out if you are in the area.

I have been to the other two Saragas and that somewhat colors my opinion. This one is much smaller,more cramped and has less selection. Not that it's bad, just not as good as the others. Right now you could not pay me to drive to Castleton with all the road construction, so this will have to do

Big big BIG fan of this grocery store for sure. They carry kimchi, seasoned seaweed, a lot of my Korean food staples, & so much more. If you're into bulgogi which I SOOO am ;), this place has a delightful marinade in a bottle. Yippee! Alls you gotta do, is follow the directions on the bottle for a quick meal. I betcha the marinade may be used as a dipping sauce too. How fun is that? A lot! This particular location is smaller than the one on Lafayette Road/38th street. Both places have amazing things that you can't find in a typical Kroger sort of store. Staff is always helpful tho you'll need to possess some patience, they're always busy. Fresh vegetables are very fabulous too. The bestest part is that the employees still adhere to the CDC recommendations in terms of masks. I was just there today & it is what I witnessed. Hope you give them an opportunity!

This location is smaller than the one on the west side. But their fruits and vegetables are good quality and there's a lot of things packed into a small space. Got some okra and it was the best quality, straight and no bruises or spoiled bits. Pretty good prices and lots of selection. If I'm in the area again I would definitely swing by.

If you haven't been here before, be prepared to have such a unique experience. I really enjoy shopping here and found a lot of things I have been looking for that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. I also think the quality is amazing for the price however some things can be overpriced. I also would like to have seen things a little more clean up like the layout but other than that I would totally suggest trying to shop here sometime for people wanting to try new things!

I'm always on the hunt for good international groceries. I want to know where the best place is for each kind of cuisine. I'm a regular at Viet Hua and One World. I kept hearing about Saraga so we went to the south side to give it a try. Saraga is trying to be a little bit of something for everyone, and as a result it's not a deep selection for anyone. However, it does have a good set of basics. It spans many different cuisines including several African and Middle Eastern staples (lots of types of flour on hand that I have not seen in other stores), some Northeast Asian (Chinese/Japanese/Korean), Mexican, and Southeast Asian.Where it shines is produce, and some staples like flours. I saw lots of fresh produce including items like Thai eggplants, Taiwanese okra, and lots of greens. Everything looked fresh and high quality. I also saw some staple pantry foods such as specialty flours and dried beans that I have not seen in any other international markets in Indy. If it's hard to find, Saraga might have it.For other things, you'll find the basics and staples but probably not the top-shelf ingredients or more obscure items from that cuisine. For example, they did have some frozen Chinese dumplings, but not as many varieties as Viet Hua. I will still choose One World and Viet Hua for my regular shopping, since I mostly cook Northeast Asian foods at home. However, Saraga is worth a visit if you live on the south side, need African/Middle Eastern staples, or just enjoy shopping at different international markets. I did check expiration dates (always an issue at international groceries!!) and they seem better than Viet Hua about removing expired items.

WOWit's like a new store, they've completely gutted the fish DeptTHE SMELL IS GONE! Thank the Stars!Whatever restaurant (tiny, maybe 2 tables) is in the place, had served somebody a HUGE Bowl of soup I'm going back for.Sad news 38 St Lafayette Square IndyGo no longer pulls up in their parking lot, you have to take the 37 instead, big hassle for someone in a wheelchair!

Extremely spacious with a large food court, bakery, and bubble tea place. Fresh seafood and wide selection of meat and fresh produce. Lots of frozen food. Comprehensive selection of authentic Asian groceries. Price is fair.

Variety of food available. Acceptable prices and service so far. Standard ambience for all the products and produce.
