Its been two times the same experience. I have visited only since my friend referred. Owner seems to be too greedy , money making. All are pricy. He says one price before purchase and increases price when billing. Especially seasonal items. But the staff is a very nice guy, he is super helpful and active. My last visit to Avkar was done. NEVER TURN BACK

AVOID STORE: The Indian grocery store has taken a turn for the worse under the new management. The owner's handling of customers is lacking, and it's likely they will lose their customer base soon. Despite being a long-time customer, the new owner's attitude makes it seem like they're doing you a favor.

Worst ever Indian grocery and customer service at this business. Person name Dinesh is rude and does not know how to talk to customers. New owners took the store in a wrong direction. Please avoid at all cost shopping here.

The Indian grocery store has taken a turn for the worse under its new owner, who lacks customer service skills and is likely to lose customers rapidly. Despite being a longtime customer, I've noticed that the new owner treats people as if they should be grateful for the service.

It's a shame that a store can be run like this. My FIRST AND LAST visit was ruined by the appalling behavior of the store owner/manager. I was shocked to see him yelling and using profanity in Hindi towards multiple customers and flicking them off. I was just a bystander to all of this but even after this incident, the owner/manager continued to be rude to everyone else that came up to him. His staff, other customers, everyone. After a while, people just seemed embarrassed to be associated with him. At this point, I even feel a little embarrassed even coming here. Definitely never coming here again, and I hope everyone who sees this decides to do the same

AVOID THIS BUSINESS by all means! Worst Indian grocery store experience. The management was extremely rude and did not seem to care about their customers. They also seemed disrespectful to south indians but seemed to be talking nicely in Hindi with some other customers. This is not the hospitality you need - there are so many other better stores around the area.

AVOID THIS BUSINESS. My recent visit to a small grocery store in my neighborhood was an incredibly disheartening experience, and I feel compelled to share my concerns. The store's overall condition raised serious questions about potential health code violations, leaving me with significant doubts about its cleanliness and safety standards. The unclean environment and rude/dismissive personality of the owner led to a horrible experience.Upon entering the store, I was immediately struck by the chaotic and unsanitary environment. The aisles were cluttered and poorly maintained, making it challenging to find what I needed. It was disconcerting to notice expired and spoiled items still on display, indicating a lack of attention to stock rotation and quality control. Additionally, I observed several instances of spills and messes that were left unattended, creating potential hazards for customers. These glaring issues not only compromised the store's image but also raised serious concerns about their adherence to basic health code regulations.Adding to my dissatisfaction was the unprofessional behavior of the owner. Instead of greeting potential customers with warmth and respect, the owner was consistently rude and dismissive. I witnessed firsthand how the owner shooed away individuals who were merely browsing or asking questions, using a condescending tone. Such behavior is entirely unacceptable and further contributes to the negative atmosphere of the store. A friendly and welcoming attitude is crucial for building customer loyalty, but sadly, the owner's demeanor was a major deterrent.

ALERT!!!!!!!!! Having a bad day at office ? Recommend this store to your manager ?Can’t find a better place to ruin your shopping experience. Expired products, rubbish owner, messed up front desk etc. Waah..! Someone should really put on the hard work to make the customers feel the wonderful experience like I stated above. I’m sure the credit goes to the manager. I have witnessed his psychic behavior to the customers. Man, you should really consult a doc.

DO NOT GO HERE. Clearly the manager hates his job, not sure why he would ever speak to customers with a horrible attitude for no reason. If you do go here, make sure you’re wearing a helmet just in case he throws something at your head. There are plenty of other Indian grocers to go to that actually understand what it means to run a customer facing business.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of visiting Avkar Grocer, and I must say, it was one of the most disappointing shopping trips I have ever had. The primary reason behind this was the appalling / grumpy / pit bull attitude displayed by the store owner, Dinesh Patel, towards customers and the overall poor maintenance of the store.He will soon regret it if he doesn’t change his attitude towards customers. The old management made a big mistake selling their shop and especially their name to this uncultured Dinesh Patel!

The new management owned by Dinesh Patel should have decency to respect and handle politely his customers. Should stop throwing his attitude on his regular and loyal customers.

Worst ever Indian grocery store. This guy Dinesh Patel is such a mess. No manner and bad language to the customers. TBH, I would give this store 0 stars. Unfortunately, google doesn’t allow that option to rate rubbish people and store like this .

Quickly ran to grab some herbs and there was frying smell all over the store. I was told by one of the employees that they fry samosas in the back of the store. What!!! I don't think that is allowed. My clothes smelled like food the entire day. It's ridiculous. I'm going to report them to the health department. The front area of the store was very messy too and they had unpacked and unlabeled food items for sale at the counter.
