“My review pertains only to the restaurant.
Maybe the best Indian food I've ever had. I had the Navaratan Korma on two occasions. Consistently very good. Serving size is generous. I also had a veggie puff pastry, which was light on veggie content, but very tasty with the pastry shell being super light and flaky.
4-2-2025 Update: Was there again yesterday and had one of the goat dishes. It was super flavorful and the most tender goat I've ever had. My wife had the Butter Chicken which was also very good. It seemed to me that the Butter Chicken sauce was quite similar to the Navaratan Korma sauce.
Things to know:
Their food is spicier than most Indian restaurants. If you want medium spiciness, I suggest asking for mild.
Lunch is served from 11 to 2:30. Dinner begins at 4pm.
Puff pastries and some other items are only available for dinner. I was told puff pastries often sell out within the first hour or two.
They have several Indian beverages and desserts.
The dining area is very functional. It's a place for great food, not ambiance.”
“I've never been to a trader Joe's that I was disappointed in. Parking was great, employees were in a good mood. This location has stuffed moose for the children to find. It's organized a little differently but staff helped me find what I couldn't. Would definitely go again if ever in the area.”

“Sceptic for many years, went to Cub. Tried Aldi's again and walked out with a full bag for $21. Went back again, same full bag, $22. I actually checked the receipt to see if they had made an error. I buy dairy, bread lunch meat, cereal all a good deal. Yogurt is $.59 for a 4 ounce. It just adds up. !!”
“This location is convenient for me and I usually like the selection of items they stock. There are some fantastic specialty items, but you will pay dearly for them. Recent published price comparisons rank Kowalski's as among the most expensive grocery stores in the Twin Cities. Prices on things I typically purchase can be $1 to $4 higher than the exact same thing at
Target or Walmart.”
“The store is small and convenient. There is a butcher and they do make sandwiches there and seem to have a little bit of everything. Service is always friendly. Prices are a little higher than the big chain stores.”
“Stopped in today after bibging 2 seasons of “Mo” on Netflix. I am glad the show pushed me into this GEM of a resourse for stillwater.
I cant wait to explore more flavors ;)”
“We've shopped at Aldi for a few years now. Good selection of just about everything and priced a little lower than others. I like the meat and cheese options”
“If you want some quality food, it’s worth the extra money to purchase from their bakery, deli and meat counter!
I go there when I want to treat myself?”

“I love Aldi for the prices more than anything they have a great variety, but don't always have stock. The generics at Aldi have are pretty good like for instance Cinnamon Toast Crunch, they have their own brand and it's just as good as the expensive brands. They do not carry a variety of soda, so if you have a certain brand in mind you may not find it there”
“I love grocery stores, especially quaint ones like this gem. It’s got character which is so nice. Also lower traffic which is less stimulating for folks who like a slower pace. I found a great price on meat items, and good quality produce. The cashier and deli counter employees were kind and helpful. I would like to suggest more promotions and items to draw you into the store. Carries super value brands and other special products that can be tough to find. I’m glad I stopped in and had a chance to try a few things. Great service and nice electronic receipt as well.”
“Really awesome store. Somewhat pricey for some products. I would come again. I found some great clean products that I had to buy. This is the store for me to go to :]. Much more cleaner products than in some of those other traditional grocery store. I could have taken some pictures from the inside store but I didn’t have time to.”
“We like this store, a lot. I would give it a 5, but, the bakery, isnt accommodating. The employees are great. The bakery items are great. The policy's aren't. I asked to buy a variety of muffins that weren't pre packaged, they said they couldn't do that. I asked to buy just two of one type of muffin. They couldn't do that, had to be the four pack. Kowalski, Lund's Byerleys, Hy-Vee, all will sell you any amount of anything. Jerry's needs to be more accommodating.”

“I really like the curbside pick up. It's so much more dependable than delivery (which in my case, had never been delivered 2x now). My pickup, scheduled for today, monday, July 22nd, has it pouring down rain when I pulled up. Yet those 2 boys came rushing out with my bags and got them in the car quickly and without any problems. I just wish they were allowed to accept tips, especially on a day like today. Thank you Mahtomedi Aldi's curbside loaders, y'all are awesome! This is sunshine by the way.”
“Above and beyond! I ordered groceries for delivery as a gift, and the staff did an amazing job of subscription as well as following up with me when I had the delivery address wrong. Truly a community focus with this staff, and I'm now forever grateful and loyal! Thank you!”
“I love the place. I have to disagree with the people who say the meet of produce goes bad quickly, that is just not true. I have used meat up to the use by date, and never had a problem. I cannot say that about meat I bought at other stores, unfortunately. The prices on some items are half what they are on sale at Cubs, and I cannot taste a difference. If anything, their stuff is fresher, because most of it is turned over daily. If you are looking to save money on groceries, and you hate coupons (I do!), then this is the best place to buy all your staples.”
“Not a week goes by where Classic employees aren't going to Brine's for lunch or picking up groceries on their way home from work. Brine's bag lunches are the best deal around and the quality is second to none. When you combine excellent food with top notch customer service, it is easy to see why they have such a loyal following.”
“I found this place tremendously helpful- so many special diet health foods I'd rarely found in brick and mortar. At both recent visits, I was enthusiastically assisted. They do special orders. When I've finished figuring out my food sensitivities I'll be back to raid their freezers- some of the gluten-free, dairy-free, etc varieties I hadn't seen elsewhere. Posted signs indicted a discount on certain days...”
“Good variety. Prices reasonable. But make sure you watch your totals. Almost didn't get the sale price. The check out rang up my order as full price, I had to get the tags for the discount.”
“River Market is my go to for just about everything. They have a phenomenal selection of natural healing products, I’ve been able to find so many ingredients I needed there that I can’t get at the big box grocery stores. Even the scent of the store is comforting when you walk in.”
“Decent grocery store with fresh produce. I am not the biggest fan of this locations deli as I feel the meat is not well sliced or as fresh as it could be. The Hugo location has a better deli.”

“These guys are the best! My family was traveling out of town and had unexpected issues with the debit card, and they went out of their way to help us - my parents had gas to travel home again because of them! Very nice people, definitely recommend! ?”
“Great customer service and products. Their produce and meats are top notch. The store is always clean too! The beautiful flower and plant selection (in the Woodbury location) and small gift sections have been staples for me to find great things for friends and family.”
“I love stopping in here and picking up ingredients for stir-fry and sauces to add just the right touch to all your oriental cooking. They have an awesome choice of snacks and frozen goodies too.”
“Love me some Target! This is in a decent location given what is around. They have some grocery and they also have a coffee shop inside. The parking lots at Targets are laid out a bit differently now due to Order Pick-ups but find parking is not a problem. I am sure I will be back.”
“The ribs are amazing, and the front-end person was really sweet. They are also generous to the troops (a wonderful gesture). I'd give them a try again and recommend them to friends!”
“I've been shopping at Hy-vee for several years I like their sales and gas savings. The employees have always been helpful to find items for me. And helpful if I have trouble understanding the receipt.”
“I go here to buy wine. The employees are always friendly and helpful when I am looking for a new wine to try. A few have quite a bit of knowledge on wine as well. I love this Cub Liquor.”
“Store is great, nice blend of products, prices are reasonable vs lunds. Bakery has fair priced upscale treats. Deli hot area is great with daily specials, like the pork tenderloin bigger than a dinner plate for under $8. Sushi is good and fresh for nice price.”
“Bobbi the pharmacist is so great. She was the only one here on a Sunday and it was busy. I got my strep test within just a few minutes of my appointment time and she got my antibiotics ready for me quickly. She had a line the whole time and she was still so kind and positive.”
“Saw this little market as we were driving around while waiting for our kids at Kokoro volleyball. Stepped in to see what they have and I was amazed at the meat quality and selection. Not just that, they had a great selection of produce and their deli looked delicious. For a little building with gas pumps, it packs a lot. There's even a small dining area.
They have a good selection of meat snack sticks - My favorite snack to eat while waiting for my volleyball kids. I picked up some of their delicious jalapeno cheese sticks. I will be frequenting this establishment now that I've discovered it.”
