i was referred to the store by a nigerian friend, i was looking for something for a cold my friend had recommended some ginger root tea, i am african american, i went in the store there were two men in the store, the older man who was friendly help me finded what i was looking for, i took the item to the counter and handed him my bank card i suppose he was the owner, i handed him my debit bank card, he said to me unless you spend more then $5.00 you cant use the card, i went and got cash and came back to purchase the item again, there were some construction working in the store he was talking to, i handed him cash and paid for the item, the man had a poor attitude toward me as though i was not welcome, no eye contacting talking to the construction workers but never said a word to me when i am the customer, i place the item on the counter gave him the cash he sholved the item at me he nevered placed it in a bag as though i didnt deserve a bag, he never said thank you for shopping or anything, while all the time talking to the white construction worker as though i wasnt there, i decided never to go back again, i received such poor customer service

Amazing store with a huge selection of products. I am very impressed with the size compared to their previous, much smaller store. Roaming the aisles can take some time, as they have a little bit of everything. Items are always fresh - especially the spices, which Ive found can be a bit stale when going to other Indian stores in Milwaukee. I have been especially excited about trying new frozen items whenever I go, there is just tons of variety to choose from. p.s. never had any problems with expired products which seems to be an issue at some other stores, and with some other reviewers. If something isnt good, just return it. I didnt like the taste of one of their snacks, I took it back, and they gave me a credit towards something else with no questions asked!

Indian Groceries & Spices is run by a very racist man. If you are NOT Indian do not shop here. The old man behind the counter is very rude and will not touch your hand when you are trying to hand him money because he sees everyone that is not Indian as dirty. When he gives you your change back, he will slam your change on the counter to avoid touching your hand and to just be rude. The store is very old looking and dirty on the inside. If you will like to have a very displeasing shopping experience here, this is the place to shop. If I could rate is lower I would. The poor-fair rating still seems to be too good for them, their rating should be much lower.

Nice clean store. Roomy. Good choice of products. Some spice/paste products have had expiry dates rubbed off - I dont like that. Reduce them and get rid of them. Most products seem fresh. I have always found the staff very friendly and I plan to take some of the classes. Their prices are very fair. Any questions I have are always answered in a friendly manner. Sometimes the staff are a bit preoccupied by ordering or paperwork but they are never rude to me. I recommend this place all the time.

Great prices on spices, although I wish they carried smaller amounts in addition to bulk since I dont cook Indian food often. Still, I got 7 ounces of coriander (which I couldnt find at Pick n Save except for a small jar of organic for $5) for something like $2.25. Its also my new source for naan--I dont know why I didnt think of it before. Other grocery stores have those packages of 3 for $4, whereas I got a pack of 10 for $3.

Excellent selection of Indian grocery items and Indian spice masalas. Huge selection of frozen meals and breads. They also have a fresh deli area with nice samosas and Indian dessert sweets. I buy Maggie- the awesome Indian ramen noodles all they time from here and they are NOT expired. Also never had problem with their snacks - they carry like 200 different kinds too. Definitely the best selection in Milwaukee.

Only giving less rating because of out of 41 items, I purchased from store 5 of them where expired food, ended up throwing them in trash, as soon as I opened the packets. otherwise, lots of space in the store and organized. But I advise dont buy the stuff if it has no expired date on it. ( Believe me, it takes double the time to check date while grocery shopping. :-(.

Beautiful and well organized new location across from their old location. This place is a gem. I come here to pick up my quick frozen meals, indian nan breads and rice. They have a great selection of spices too (cheap!). Their experience shows in helping me find the spice I couldnt remember the name to. Close to Mayfair mall and freeway too.

LOT OF EXPIRED PRODUCTS... BE CAREFUL!!! MOST OF THE PRODUCTS DONT HAVE EXPIRY DATES ON THEM. RUDE OLD GUY BEHIND THE COUNTER AND HIS SON SELL THE EXPIRED STUFF AS IF THEY DID IT BY MISTAKE. COME ON HOW CAN ALMOST ALL THE GROCERY/FROZEN STUFF HAVE NO EXP DATES OR ARE ALREADY EXPIRED. ALSO RICE BAG I GOT HAD INSECTS IN IT!!

Out of all the indian grocery stores near Milwaukee, this is the better one. - its has a odd location so look around, you wont miss it - a little pricy compared to other stores - good selection of everything - no meat - good store layout. - the owners demeanor isnt that great but its ok Offer grocery delivery as well.

Both chikki taste off almost moldy, there was no expiration date on the package so who know how old they are. The mawa barfi was advertised as freshly made . My children and I tried one last night and thought they tasted like hard cheese. This morning with adequate lighting, I saw they were covered in mold.

Went there few times for snacks and other things. Got home maggie(Indian noddles) expired. 2 snack bags tasted bad looked at dates beyond past shelf life. Wont be shopping here again. Its worth driving to Chicago specially if u need more then few things. Saving alone would pay for gas.

Terrific selection, but the staff had a rather suspicious demeanor. I suspect they might have been mistakenly identified as Muslims and harassed. I have long hair and a big full beard and I dont think it means the same thing in Milwaukee as it does in LA. Just a thought.

Visited the store for a few hard-to-find spices and came away with what I needed. The owner was pleasant enough and helped me find a few things. I was most impressed though with the very reasonable prices on their spices, much cheaper than a grocery store.

The gentleman at the store was so helpful to me as a first-time visitor. He offered advice and cooking classes which I plan to take. The store is authentic as it comes and immaculately clean. I will recommend this establishment to my friends! Thank you!

One of the best stocked Indian stores that Ive used. The merchandise is always fresh, the store is clean and efficiently run and the owners are courteous and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Indian groceries.
