Apni Mandi Farmers Market

An Indian super store, selling mainly grocery products, including milk, roti, Indian spices, vegetables/ fruits and allied ; as well as common house hold things like brooms, pressure cooker, etc. Food is also served here. The items are well stacked and aisles have enough space; but, perishable things, like milk are not cared for expiry or food stuff for hygiene. See customers dissatisfaction on these aspects. Secondly, the owner must study the reviews carefully and give specific answers on the Google map to each.This is helpful for customers satisfaction and business growth. 24 hours operation is certainly a plus point.

There's currently a Manager's Sale running, with prices lower than those at nearby Indian stores. The store offers a wide variety of products, boasts a spacious parking area, and is never too crowded. It's a very large store with a dedicated purely vegetarian kitchen.

This store had a lot of expired product, especially in the milk and refrigerator section (rotis, etc) Note that the milk has become curdled, both 2% and whole milk. This was at the shop on Sunday! I also bought Dahi Puri and spent my entire day on Monday in the bathroom! Why isn't anyone looking into this? They should be fined

There is a variety of international products at good prices. I found super cheap products with better quality compared to other stores. The vegetable stalls look clean and organized; they're things that fill your eyes when you arrive at a store. The restaurant is also very clean, with plenty of space to eat. The food is delicious. The employees are very friendly and provide good service. The manager is always willing to help customers and explain new products to them! The store is perfect because it doesn't only focus on Indian products; you can buy different products from other countries and learn about other foods and vegetables! The store is perfect; it's open 24/7, which is very good! Most stores always close early!

Nice grocery story and a place to get some food Their music is terrible though. You can probably say that you’ve been to a concert where the music wasn’t this loud. Extremely extremely loud. And unnecessary. Also god, just buy a premium version of Spotify. It’s like 10$ a month. I don’t want to listen to music, let alone loud advertisements. Reduce the volume and this is a 5 star grocery store for sure

Its a nice store with good employees. But the cafe inside is a different story. The employees are surly and unhelpful (some of them, there are a couple of ladies who are really nice). I wish they would get some better employees. There are 1.5 billion Indians. It should be eminently possible to find a couple of guys who can deal with customers with a smile.

Only Indian grocery store open for 24 hours. That’s a huge positive. A variety of fruits, vegetables stocked full. All varieties of grocery stores from India are available including stainless steel utensils, dairy, cheese, butter, batter, spices, rice, variety of floury, snack, chips, but not limited to fruits and vegetables. The restrooms are clean, big and well maintained. Big store with many aisles well marked with items. Most of the aisles are fully and neatly stocked. There is a dine in restaurant with tables and lots of Indian snacks, curries are available to dine in and to go. Definitely recommend to visit and look at choices. Downside is all purchase is final and no returns or exchanges. We cannot see the prices while checkout which can be improved.

This store has really good produce prices. When it's late and I don't want to go far I go here. They have some cool little snacks as well. Workers are very friendly I also haven't had to wait in a long line. That's really nice especially if you are someone who has anxiety like myself. In and out and back home instantly!

Reliable spot for fresh produce Apni Mandi has become one of my regular stops for fresh vegetables, and they never disappoint. The store is clean, well organized, and easy to navigate. Their ginger and turmeric are always fresh, which is something I really appreciate. I usually come here for assorted green veggies, but I also enjoy browsing the other aisles to see what new items they have. They accept both cash and credit cards, which makes checkout convenient. Overall, a great neighborhood grocery store for quality produce and everyday essentials.

The worst apni mandi of them all and probably one of the badly managed large indian stores in the bay area. Their refrigerators are broken, frozen food has gone through several cycles of thawing and freezing based on how the color of two frozen vegetables were - guvar and bhindi. All the fresh produce we got had fungus growing in 24-48 h. See attached pic of bengali squash which was (~$10) product had fungus in 48 h. Cucumbers, eggplants all got spoiled. Lost close to ~$70 worth of produce from just one visit. Aisles are disorganised, certain stench was coming from the store. The attached food counter is definitely popular and we have had decent food from there several times before.

Lots of parking right outside the store and conveniently located near target and dollar tree. Its 24 hours open and has a big dining area too with live paani puri gol gappa stand. Loved the wide variety of live snack counters and neatly stacked racks of grocery with old favorites and lots of new options to choose from. Happy to report, it had eggs, milk and maggie :) all available!! The snacks chaat counter seemed expensive at first but quality was worth it. Must visit for paneer pakora 5/5 ($5 for 4 pcs) I was pleasantly surprised that it was not crowded at all for a sunday afternoon.

It used to be a good sport for vegetables and Indian groceries. But now they get this new supervisor girl. Asma, she is very rude and also the quality of vegetables is bad. Best avoided if you don't have any emergency for groceries.

Came here for the food market. It's open 24 hours and I normally get the Pani Puri which I love. You get 5 pieces per order. If you like spicy food, you will enjoy their dishes. It's all vegetarian heaven and so flavorful. I've also ordered the samosa chat and bel puri. They're delicious. The grocery store is also cool with all kinds of different product and it's so clean. The vegetable department is awesome too. Fresh veggies!!! I get my okra here. Service is quick and the staff is friendly. Give it a try.

You can find EVERYTHING here. The sweet shop has so many mouth watering delicacies, from rasmalai, rasgulla to mango lassi, you name it! And sooo many varieties of paan, including gulab jamun paan, say what??! It was sweet and delicious. The Pani puri stall outside the store serves 5 different flavors of Pani including khatta meetha, pomegranate, mint, tamarind and mango, all of which were unique, haven't had these many varieties of Pani puri ever! I could just go on eating these....

If you thought the Sunnyvale Apni Mandi was convenient, wait until you see its Fremont sibling. This location is huge--easily twice the floor space--so navigating crowded aisles is finally a thing of the past. The first thing that hits you is the produce section: crisp methi leaves, vibrant bhindi, and tender drumsticks that look like they were picked that very morning--nothing wilted or bruised in sight. Even better, prices on staples--everything from toor dal to Parle-G--are consistently a few dollars lower than Sunnyvale's tags. For bulk shoppers and big families, those savings add up fast. Variety is equally impressive: aisles are lined with regional flours, rice, hard-to-find masalas, and ready-to-eat snacks I haven't spotted anywhere else in the Bay Area. In fact, you'll find nearly every product you'd expect in a kirana store back home--from specialty pickles and papads to steel idli plates and pressure-cooker gaskets. A unique highlight is the outdoor open market at the entrance--think of it as a mini farmers' bazaar brimming with fresh herbs, seasonal fruits, and street-style snack stalls. It's an experience I haven't seen at any other Indian grocery in the Bay Area and it adds a lively, weekend-market vibe to every visit. The cashiers deserve a special shout-out: consistently friendly, quick with a smile, and happy to double-bag fragile items or track down last-minute requests without rushing you along. Knowing I can swing by at odd hours and still find the same freshness and welcoming staff is a genuine game-changer. Apni Mandi Fremont has set a new benchmark for Indian grocery shopping in the Bay Area--bigger, fresher, cheaper, stocked like the best markets in India, complete with a vibrant outdoor bazaar, staffed by friendly cashiers, and always open. Highly recommended!

This review is specifically for Apni Mandi food court located inside the shop. They have ample seating, are spacious and well maintained. I've been here twice in the last 2 weeks and tried a range of sabjis & they all are incredibly tasty *drools* Their combos are a total value for money - for $7.99 you get 2 rotis and rice with a choice of 2 curries. $9.99 if you want 3 curries. We also tried their Papdi Chaat and Dahi Puri both of which was insanely delicious. The mix of chutneys and spices hit all the right spots!! Do not miss trying out their gulab jamun - it's served HOT like it should be ;)

This market replaced what was once a Lucky's supermarket. It's bright, clean, and open 24 hours. You can only enter from the entrance on the left and exit out of the doors on the right. Right when you walk in, you're hit with a wall of goods. I needed coconut milk and it was the first thing I saw when the double doors slid open for me. And it was a good price! The space is under-utilized with a good 1/4 of the store (at least) not being used. The area to the left in the store is all open space and the back wall where the meat dept. used to be is totally empty. There are aisles and aisles of an amazing variety of lentils, spices, and Indian specialty ingredients. I walked down an aisle that had cooking oils - I have never seen so many different brands of ghee in my life. It was unreal. This is a really great place to find spices and Indian-specific ingredients. A little more challenging to find some of the more basic stuff (I was looking for bullion cubes and was unsuccessful, but they had a bajillion varieties of tamarind paste which I also happened to need.) They also have a deli where the old bakery/deli counter used to be, but at 9 at night, there were loads of people there, so I didn't get to check out the goods (wish I had.) I'll have to make another trip back.

Tata gold premium tea packet seems to be the fake duplicate one. Immediately checked with same brand packet from other India stores and can figure out the difference is real.

This is a very nice and clean Market. I came in to check this place with my sister and we had fun. The prices are cheaper than others and the vegetables are fresh! When I needed help with something I was looking for, they were very helpful and attentive. They also have a restaurant inside selling vegetarian curries, fried foods and desserts. I recommend this place esp for Asians looking for some vegetables ingredients and spices :)

I ordered food from Milpitas store, delivered on time but one item is missing, delivered three out of four items. Ordered no AM6413981. I tried to call store no, delivery number they donot answer. What a bad experience.

Solely for the food stall! Don't waste your money. I had friends coming over so I thought I would stop by and buy some samosas and boy was it the wrong decision. The samosas were easily two weeks old. The potatoes inside were dry. The pastry was smelled of old oil on the inside. I also bought pakoras and unfortunately didn't pay attention to when she was packing them but when I got home, it was basically the stuff that's left over after you've taken out the actual pakoras and they too were old and smelled of stale oil. Very disappointing. I know that my people suck at customer service so my hopes are never high but the lady that's actually serving The food is the most saddest person I've seen in my whole life. I wish God helps her and she can find some joy in her life!!

Really bad food - We went thinking the food will be the same as we used to get from Mountain View APni Mandi but we were in for a shock! Samosas were literally dripping in oil- filling not good. Paneer was too hard and gravy had the sharp sour taste of canned tomatoes. Make roti was as thick as rubber and saag was completely sour(too much mustard). Will not recommend this place. For Groceries and vegetables - yes this place had an amazing collection hence the one star!

Well stocked groceries, clean, okayish prices. The kitchen is good- nice combo meals and chats for good price. They also offer catering. Very conveniently located, so we shop here regularly. Staff could be nicer to customers.

Apni Mandi Farmers Market 1350 S Park Victoria Dr, Milpitas, Ca 95035 (408) 770-0613 April 6th, 2024 We were in Milpitas, so we decided to check out Apni Mani. Worst decision (Lol) Mom was in the rice aisle for 30 mins. She was in rice heaven. OMG! I have never seen that many varieties of rice in my life. Best to say that Mom her IT grocery store for rice. My Filipino Peeps- you must check out Apni Mandi and their rice aisle. The store is big, very well lighted, the workers were friendly and greeted the customers with smiles. Very cleaned aisles. Very well stocked, well maintained; my OCD brain was aesthetically in happy mode. I am not 100% familiar with Indian products, but I made do with the little knowledge that I have. I had to try the pickled garlic and mango I am thinking of pairing that with fried fish. I got a bottle of rose water, bottle of their mango lassi drink. FYI- the frozen puri- so delish. Must try and the instant stuffing for the pani puri over the top of the fried -omg delish. It is also great pairing with white rice. Next time I am getting the street style pani puri balls and the stuffing that goes with it. We will be back for sure. This time will try their fresh food at the deli. For sure I will be getting more Indian delicatessens and snacks. NOTE: They have a pani puri stand outside but it would 30 more minutes before they were to open. So, for sure I will be there to try them.

Food quality is really bad! This is what I got in cut bhindi bag! This isn't the first time, they are also selling expired dosa and idli batters!

We purchased a box of mangoes for $42.99, and they assured us it was expensive because of its quality and promised a refund if it wasn't good. However, the entire box turned out to be rotten. We took pictures and showed them, but they refused to refund us unless we physically returned the rotten mangoes. Unbelievable and disgusting customer service. They're misleading customers under the guise of a farmers market pathetic!

It's now an Indian Farmers Market with affordable vegetables and fruits. They really don't carry meat, but I did see several frozen packs of fish and something in their freezer section once. The market is clean and bright. They also have Indian sweets and hot cooked meals by the old deli counters. I was intimidated by all the foreign food here, but as you peruse, you feel more comfortable, Try to be open to try new things.

When Lucky's closed down I figured nothing would ever replace it and it would sit empty for years. Boy was I wrong! They have transformed the inside to make it way prettier. We went by on one of their first nights open. To be perfectly honest, a lot of the store doesn't apply to me (not terribly versed in Indian food or culture - sorry), but it was a delight walking around and picking up at least a few things here and there. The whole left side of the store has some beautiful decorations - brass items and they had a bunch of stuff for Diwali out for sale. They didn't when we walked through, but it looks like they'll have a hot food selection someday. I'll be back for that for sure.

Was in the area to go to the dollar store and noticed this new Indian grocery store opened up. They had free chai and pretty loaded items in all categories. Do visit it and give it a try to buy your Indian groceries.

Truly, an exceptional grocery store. It has so much variety and space. Bigger than any of the local Indian stores. Prices are really good for the variety of vegetables and fruits. They have. Always fresh. Love their bakery and restaurant attached. Plenty of people to help out without the long weights at the checkout counter.

Clean shop, well organized and stocked with Indian essentials. Lots of fresh produce. They have a section with samosas, chaat, sweets and other snacks. There's free chai too.

This market has an Incredible selection of veggies! I also recommend the marinated tandoori chicken...I bought a couple of pounds, threw it in the air fryer at home and it came out extremely spiced and juicy.

Worst quality of food and pathetic service ... hot tea is not hot and nobody bothers about customer!!

Today is May 16th 2024. Their freezers where they put frozen groceries were not working properly. All the frozen groceries were defrosted. I was trying to get some frozen parathas but they were defrosted and the packages became lumpy to touch from outside. I asked one of the employees about it and they said freezers have been broken for many days but they encouraged me to still buy defrosted groceries. Most likely all the frozen groceries have gone bad and it's a health and safety issue. I would discourage anyone from buying frozen groceries from this store for at least 3-4 months since they are still planning to sell the current stock of defrosted groceries. On a plus size, they had a good selection of fresh produce, vegetables and fruits. But one star review for lack of proper health and safety protocols

I heard about this store and today I decided to try out their food court. and did some grocery shopping also. This was my experience: I went to counter, there were two guys in the counter area. I patiently waited at the counter for them to approach me. I kept waiting for almost five minutes, both acknowledged me being there but did not ask me or help me at the counter. Finally I asked then about Who supposed to take my Order. LOL, I did not get any reply. Finally, a Spanish guy came to register and took my order. I paid and I waited for my order. Finally same guy told me that it will take few minutes. After over 25 min wait I got my Alo-Puri order. Food was not edible at all. Aloo Subji was nothing but just a spiced Water without Aloo. Dahi was tasteless and onion salad seem and smell like few days old. After few bites I left food untouched and walked out. seems like this store has a food corner but food is horrible taste. No service or courtesy. Groceries may be few cents cheaper than other Indian stores but I will never ever try their food again.

BEWARE OF EXPIRED DAIRY AND FROZEN STUFF AND PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE (RUDE BEHAVIOR!!!)) My experience at Apni Mandi today was horrible. First of all, I wanted to get milk which was expiring tomorrow!! I am good at checking exp dates so had a narrow escape! SO PLEASE PLEASE CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE BEFORE YOU GET ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE, else they will fool you by keeping that stuff in the front! Then I went to the fresh produce section to buy potatoes and all the potatoes had shoots coming out! Like really!!?? Why would you sell this kind of bad stuff? I got 2 bags of floor (Aata) and when I was transferring the bags in my car, I noticed that one of the bags had a hole so I went back to request for an exchange! I was appalled by this rude and ill-mannered lady who started yelling at me for not checking the bag! I asked her that if I am buying a toothpaste or a soap or pack of biscuits, I need to open and check all those boxes and she was like : "Yes, you should - its not our responsibility" So you are trying to tell me that you dont trust your own shop!!!!???? I called her manager, who wasnt rude but refused to help at all! In the past, I have heard my friends get rotten box of mangoes, expired dairy stuff (and the ice creams!), defective pressure cooker (which again they refused to exchange!!) but since this place is close to my place, I go by convenience but after todays' experience, and accumulating all the above experiences, I'll be careful! GUYS, PELASE BEWARE OF THE SPOILED STUFF THIS STORE SELLS IN THE NAME OF BIG PLACE AND ON TOP OF IT, THE BEHAVIOR OF THEIR STAFF IS UNACCEPTABLE! AND YES PLEASE CHECK THE EXPIRATION OF DAIRY PRODUCTS AND FROZEN STUFF!

This review is specifically for the food court. Overall, it's been a hit-or-miss experience--unfortunately, with more misses than hits. The menu hasn't seen any updates in a while, which makes it feel repetitive. Lately, they've been serving what appears to be frozen rotis, apparently due to a broken roti machine. That's really disappointing--why should I pay for frozen rotis?

We have been shopping at Apni Mandi for a while. The store is clean, well-stocked and offers variety of vegetables. They have some tasty chaat items which have been a favourite of ours. However, we have noticed overall decline in quality of food items over time, particularly in the prepared section. The fulka rotis now are made mostly with maida. Another issue is the staff at the food counter doesn't come across friendly or welcoming, which creates uncomfortable atmosphere. Overall still a decent place for vegetables and groceries, but customer interaction definitely needs changes.

Limited menu focusing on value for money and healthy options, closest taste similar to back home!

This is a very nice, clean, roomy and has a wide variety of Indian stuff. Highly recommend it. There is a food counter as well and has wide variety and fresh roti. It has a fresh pan counter and I really liked it.

Love this Asian/Indian grocery store. Good cashiers to service you at the front counters. Great location. Lots of varieties and item selections. Huge space. Everything looks decently priced. Inexpensive. It used to be a Lucky's or Albertsons here, but they have been long gone. I was wondering which retailer would fill the lease here. Apni Mandi is new here. I saw a food truck parked in the lot a few times too. Great food truck food selections. Not only do they sell quality Indian food ingredients and good products inside this grocery store, but they have pretty much everything you would expect at an Asian/Indian grocery store. Fruits and vegetables plus dairy/milk and yogurt items too. I enjoyed going through each aisle and there's definitely good grains, rice, goodies from India, etc. My favorite section was where the biscuits, cookies, crackers, and snacks are located. I spent a good 15 minutes browsing everything on the shelf and ended up purchasing a few boxes of cookies/biscuits. Bourbon cookies delicious. Vanilla or chocolate. Tastes better than OREOs. Pairs well with my morning coffee/tea/cappuccino. Very good tasting items in this aisle. Authentic stuff here. They sell beautiful and colorful umbrellas, religious items, kitchen cookware/utensils, and patio chairs too. There's very good things that can be found here. Spices and dry ingredients or curry products are excellent. It's rare that I would even look around at an Indian grocery store for over 40 minutes total. This place have lots of goodies and what I like to buy. Lots of potential in this neighborhood with lots of public parking. Prime location. I hope they thrive and remain profitable. It's a very good Indian grocery store for sure. They're slowly filling up the aisles for sure. Employees are all very hardworking here, especially the inventory folks stocking the aisles in the back. Prices are attractive for sure.

I have the similar experience as Gaurav the other reviewer. The food court servants has horrible customer service. They hate their job. Go somewhere else. In addition, there are lots of items in the store without price tag. WTF !

I enjoyed the place, but my recent experience has made me reconsider. We ordered some puffs, but when we received them, they were rotten. Everything went straight to the trash. It appears that they are only cheating customers who place to-go orders. I urge you to check your food before handing it over to the customers and As a customer please check your order before taking yours. Don't scam people you are not doing any believe you take money for your service. Please teach your staff not to scam people like this. I am giving 0 stars.

I like grocery shopping here, but I don't recommend their sweets. I bought sweets from here and they were not cooked properly. I have always bought sweets from Jewel of India. I made a mistake by buying sweets from here this time. No one can beat Jewel of India.

Terrible service all cashiers are talking to themselves. They don't even pay attention to customer .

This large Indian shopping center attracts people from all walks of life by providing variety of fruit and vegetable, different types of rice and all sorts of legumes. The staff are friendly and helpful. At the left corner of the store you will find a small cafe offering Indian food and sweets. Outside of the store there is a golgapa pani puri stand. Stopping by this place is a must prior to entering the store.

I live 5min drive away from this place and have ordered 2 and 3 veg combo a few times but every single time I noticed the the thing they claim as paneer is not paneer but some hard or frozen substance they sell to bring down their cost. There is no way paneer can be that hard otherwise that even with fork it takes effort to cut it into pieces. They also refry samosa, pakora and veg puff if they too old and sell again the next day. Please don't fall for the trap of low prices. This place serves old and frozen crap after reheating.

Very disappointed with their in house food court! I got their paneer dish which was not great. The price for a very small container is overpriced. There were only about 5 paneer pieces. I don't mind paying good money for good quantity and quality food. Overall bad experience and will not be returning.

Good: *Spacious and clean (most of the time) store. *You get cooked food/snacks, vegetables and grocery items at one place. Bad: *Other Indian stores have little better pricing. Ugly: *Boys working in the vegetable section hover around and get uncomfortably close to customers pretending to restock. *People at the checkout are not very professional either. They ask you to bag your stuff. They say not nice thing on your face in Punjabi.

I was at the Apni Mandi Farmers Market, when I was ready to pay, the male cashier refused to take my $100 bill he continue to ask me three times to use my credit card on a $5.99 transaction. I told him to verify if the $100 bill is real so that I can get cash. He walks over to his female cashier uses a pen to verify the bill and comes back to his register. He then proceeds to open his register, which had tons of $20 bills and $10 bills. He finally gave me my change of $94.01. He could not look me in the eyes as I shook my head at him. He was wearing a turban with black shirt, he was dark skin complexion Brown with a turban, he also had a full mustache and beard, he was about 5 5 with skinny build. He didn't have a name tag. He is one of the regular cashiers that is in the front. I found his actions extremely rude and condescending. I had a brand new $100 bill that I could use and he refused to accept it and asked me to use my card I did not like that. Thinking twice about shopping here again. There was no manager at the front so left.

Bought Mangoes from.here..they all went bad. When I went to return them they said that fresh produce should be consumed in 24 hours. I showed him the pics of the mangoes also. They said you should have bought the bad mangoes back to the store so they can return to the vendors in India. The mangoes were about 55 dollars for 10 pieces. They would not accept the return. I think we should stop shopping in places where the customer is not respected I highly recommend everyone not to ship here as they don't care about our hard earned money while we support their business.

The produce is great! Highly recommend it. However as a side note the Iceberg lettuce is packaged and was not fresh. This is my only complaint. The service is good! They are nice!

It's a good place. They have huge selection. Unlike New India Bazar, parking is not a problem. Their vegetable section is quite good. And they have a big selection of biscuits, snacks etc. which my family loves. Spices section is also quite good. I recently saw they have opened meat section where they have chicken, mutton etc. Need to try it some time.

Open 24 hours. Store is well kept. They have a bakery and cafe. The produce is very affordable. There is a large selection of items.

This is a great choice for fruits, vegetables, and other produce. There is a good assortment of basic cookware. Much of the rest of the store is Indian ethnic focused, so have not checked. There is a deli, which I have yet to try.

They opened up paan corner, sweets, pani puri & finally the food kitchen. Food from kitchen was bit spicy but good taste.

This a very new market (I don't miss Lucky - I quit going there years ago) Good selection of fresh produce, with amazing sale selections every week. They're closer than the other markets, and their produce prices are competitive with Asian markets - a big achievement. The selections are different - a good blend of Asian, Indian, and western produce. If you're into dairy products, the selection of milk, yogurt, butter and more is endless. So is the selection of spices and condiments. The store is not 100% full -some shelves are in the process of being filled - I'm looking forward to see what becomes available. The prepared food at their concession booth. Haven't tried that yet. It's in the list.
