"INCOMPLETEKundan International Grocery is a South Asian food market. We stopped in during our search for a certain brand of sucking candy made in Indonesia, and only available in a few retail shops in and around Newport News, VA. Kundan isn't one of them, unfortunately. The store is undergoing major renovations. Some aisle are inaccessible and many are simply empty awaiting completion of the work. The folks we spoke with tried to be helpful, but they couldn't find what we were after. Given the upheaval in the store, with tripping hazards abounding, they probably would be wise to close their doors and ask for temporary forgiveness as they endeavor to upgrade and modernize the facility. I am sure their customers would understand and appreciate the concern for their wellbeing. I know I would."

"3 stars for the Grocery section.The restaurant section gets a -2 stars... this is far from authentic. My background is west-Indian (Trinidadian) and the restaurant is just a no, any Caribbean person I met in VA had a clear warning of not to eat here. Now I'm not saying it's horrible food (restaurant) but it is far from a authentic home cook Jamaican/Caribbean restaurant. On the other hand if you personally can't cook this part of the world food then it maybe to your liking.If the grocery was by itself I would give it 5stars. Simple things for cooking chief curry/golden ray even a few vegetables local to the Caribbean is hard to come back in Virginia. That part is what I personally use and enjoy."

This international grocery is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I was quite surprise the large variety of Indian/Asian goods with fresh vegetables. We perused the clean and very well organized aisles. Plenty NaN and paratha breads, fresh veggies (banana hearts, long beans, egg plants, etc); they also sell cooking utensils, miscellaneous items like handbags, scarves, and more. As we walked in, we were greeted by a couple of the staff and asked if we were looking for a particular item. The store has an aroma of different spices, more indian spices, which reminded me some of my favorite Indian dishes like chicken masala and tandoori. I highly recommend this place to all fellow yelpers. Check it out!

The desayuno sure I was tasty! The empanadas tasted perfect. The 3 stars were for the tamales me ordered. They were dry and they gave us all chicken even though we ordered pork and chicken. The plantains were cooked perfect and the rest of the food was great! I would say the 3$ tamales were more worth like 50 centavos so don't waste your money on these dry flavorless tamales. The rest was good so get it if you don't want tamales.

Oxtails, rice & peas, mac n cheese, and cabbage. I've been to this restaurant a few times and it's always a hit. I either get the oxtails or the curry chicken. Everything is flavorful and filling. I like that there's a small grocery section inside, with authentic Caribbean foods and drinks.
