Loren WorsleyMarch 29, 2015Possibly my favorite place in this whole city. A phenomenal spice cavern. If you be fan of mung beans, ghost peppers, frozen parathas, spicy toothpastes, and the like, then prepare to shit yoself.
Ranu RajkarnikarDecember 8, 2015I love this place. Great for bulk ingredients (rice, quinoa, flour, etc) at low prices. Also, an incredible selection of international spices and cooking ingredients, especially for Asian cuisines.
Serious EatsMay 13, 2013This small shop near Curry Row is packed with dried spices and grains, fresh herbs, and plenty of beer. A neighborhood destination for Indian and south Asian pantry goods.
All the spices, legumes, lentils, rice and other Indian foods you could think of. They also have Marmite and Vegemite tucked away on a shelf here
Winn ODonnellSeptember 26, 2016Easily 1 of best stores in NYC. Indian spice shop. Get beer here, eat at Panna 2 upstairs and then come back down and buy spices. Been there over a decade, and I really hope this place sticks around.
AdrienMarch 30, 2016Underrated local store with amazing selection of beers, grains, nuts, spices, oils and everything good for you- The Corcoran GroupMarch 18, 2011Come here to get whatever exotic spice you might need. Or to grab an exotic six pack of beer to bring to dinner upstairs at Panna II.
Rae @ Ciona Taylor ProductionsOctober 27, 2012More than a great deal on spices. Check out the dried nuts and beans. Want something quick to cook? Go for the frozen Pratha. Reheats in less than 5 min
Elysia MannFebruary 7, 2015Any spice you ever need can be found here. Dudes are nice and helpful too.
NancySeptember 18, 2018Great selection of herbs, spices, lentils etc. Only downside is sometimes moths or other insects in packages.
Lonestar TacoFebruary 13, 2013When Kalustyan's seems too far, head here, they have nearly everything they do and also a hell of a lot of beer varieties. Spices, dried chilis, grains, oh my.
Tim VetterDecember 22, 2010Ask at the counter for Sweet Paan, a betel leaf wrapped around spices & candies, which you wad in your cheek like a tobacco plug. Get the guy to show you how to insert it.
Allie CaldwellApril 4, 2018What a treasure! Every obscure spice, tea, herb, essential oil, extract you could ever hope for.
- Jessica LucasFebruary 23, 2012A superb collection of herbs and teas. Countless spices and essential oils. This place gets an A+.
charming store packed to the brim with spices, but not as inexpensive as I expected. around $3.75 per bag.
Darcey HowardFebruary 15, 2013You can get anything here including shredded coconut in three different sizes
Andrea Chan-DilibertoSeptember 24, 2011Good prices, great selection. Usually get spices, couscous, pink rice, etc- justin galeDecember 7, 2010Best beer selection in the neighborhood. Even carry 4 import gluten free beers!
- Andrea Chan-DilibertoSeptember 24, 2011Always buy something new here. This time it's fresh ghost peppers & kamut berries
