Bombay Spice House

Simply the best Indian grocery / general store in the East Bay. Impeccable. Respond to my requests. Thoughtful. A wonderful shop. Can't recommend it highly enough. l

Ive been coming here for probably over 15 years.After moving back from the LBC I could drive 20 mins and be in Little India aka Artesia is hard to find a big Indian store section with having to drive to the South Bay. This is a quaint littel store that carries a lot. The owner is very friendly and remembers his customers. I don't come as often as my guys is allergic to garlic ,(there goes the garlic ginger paste I used regularly. But they carry Koolfi Brand (store located in San Leandro) ice cream. So I stopped off after work specifically to get the Kamala and rose ice cream. Kamala means lotus. It was in stock and I also picked up guava with a hint of chili. Can't wait to try, my stomach might not agree with the lactose, but didn't grumble last time.Also got some samosas as getting off work and didn't feel like cooking. (You will need to warm and they don't come with chutney)But I most come because of the friendlness of the owners and I can get in and out quickly.

The options feel endless! I was looking for ingredients to make chai at home and the staff was helpful. Spices galore, as well as great grocery items, you should def stop in and check it out.

This is my go-to Indian grocery store, they have an incredible selection of snacks, sweets, spices - anything you could want or need. The owner is really nice and is always ordering new things for his customers to try.They recently started carrying these spicy popped lotus nuts that's highly recommend as well as the Indian artisan ice cream they carry that comes in a variety of flavors.

Amazing customer service. When I called they answered the phone and patiently answered all my novice questions. In person, even more personable and helpful. Sasha was friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help me find items. The store is clean and orderly, easy to locate items. Overall, the ambiance is a positive and calm vibe.

I've become a regular at Bombay Spice House, despite the number of alternatives in the area. Their selection is comprehensive, the fresh samosas and chai are the perfect thing to warm you up on a cool winter's morning, and the owner is always SO HELPFUL. His warmth and friendliness is a big part of why I keep coming back for my Indian staples, even after moving out of the area - it really is a local business that I want to see continue to prosper.Side note: if you have a car you are precious about, park on the street. The parking spaces in the adjacent lot are quite tight and I've definitely winced at least once as an auntie has opened her door straight into my car.

First of all, thank you so much for running the place with care during covid. I particularly appreciate the attention to detail for example with the limits you have enforced on the frozen food items per person amongst other things. The owner of the shop was helpful, friendly and even trusted me to pay for something I bought later. The place itself has all the essentials I look for - admittedly I am sucker for Indian tiffin, snacks, rusk et al and that's what I go there for. They even have garlic-less versions of Indian vegetable and mango pickle and Maggi ketchup. Don't forget to pick up a pack of Good Day biscuits on the way out :).Once again, thank you for running the place with care during covid.

Really helpful staff that helps me find items. Would take a lot longer otherwise. Friendly and there's parking right next to the store.

This grocery store is excellent for dried beans, lentils and spices. And, it has delicious, warm samosa and chai to go! I love it here--excellent service and prices.

Owner is so SWEET! Excellent customer service. Great prices, amazing quality. I 100% recommend coming here for any grocery items as well as their jewelry. Bought many sets and bangles from here that were BEAUTIFUL and amazing quality. I showed the owner pictures of suits that I was trying to match and she looked and helped me match it perfectly! Amazing customer service- I will be recommending this place to all my family and friends :)
