Well here’s a thing
« on: January 29, 2022, 02:30 PM »
I was very pleased to find a number of Indian grocers and restaurants in a town about 25 mins drive from me, in Naperville, IL.  Someone mentioned there’s a place called the Mall of India, so I had a look online.  Says it has everything Indian, restaurants, food court, fashion, grocery etc.  I will be checking it out at some point.

Then I saw this.

Well, definitely interesting, but I fear that Lệ Khanh's hotel could not afford one ...

P.S. "Mall of India" promotional video.

This store certainly beats our local Morrisons Phil, that appear to be using the 'Just in time' work practice

I have to say, when I lived in Kent the local Morrisons (just south of Maidstone) was the pits, but since moving to Cornwall it has become my supermarket of choice — well stocked, things don't move around too often, helpful staff and a pleasant atmosphere.  Nearby we also have Sainsbury, Aldi & Lidl, with a Tesco in St Austell and a Waitrose in Truro, but unless I specifically want something that only one of those stocks I use Morrisons.

Robbo, if you have a Restaurant Depot (Jetro) near you, you might want to look at their prices. They aren't a one stop, but they stock bulk cumin, black peppercorns, basmati rice, and Indian chili powder among others

Cheers bham but Jetro only serves businesses.  I’m a Costco member though and get our basmati in a huge sack from them. The rest is just local Indian grocers.  Slowly finding my feet here.

The Restaurant Depot near me (Birmingham, AL) does not require any membership to shop there. I have one through a non profit I am associated with, but anyone can shop there.
