Pretty good selection for such a small place. Friendly staff and the homemade samosas were very good.

The owner here helped me identify which lentils I enjoyed from my trip to India. From my photos, she was able to show me spice mixes to buy as well as frozen options to recreate the delicious meals I enjoyed there. Looking forward to shopping here again.
