Dana Mandi 2

Never seen that type of bad service in my whole life. Three people working in the store everybody busy with their phone. I’m walking around 15 minutes. Nobody help me. I’m asking something. They said they don’t have it then I checked 10 more minutes and I find out the same product.It is shamed.

If you're considering a visit to Dana Mandi 2, think again. This store exemplifies why its predecessor was permanently closed for health violations. It’s disorganized, with expired products and a lack of cleanliness. The owners show blatant favoritism toward the Indian community, making others feel unwelcome. I witnessed the father verbally attack an African American Instacart shopper. Customers frequently report being overcharged, and the older gentleman at the register has an aggressive and rude demeanor. Questioning their inflated prices invites hostility. Spending money here only fuels their greed and leads to a poor shopping experience. Positive reviews are likely from family members trying to boost their image. Dana Mandi 2 poses a threat to our community. Avoid this store at all costs.

They have lots of Indian good item available

Me and my husband use to come here all the time and get meat, groceries, and snacks from their restaurant. We never complained and came back all the time because we found it good and the people good. Over the weekend we got some groceries and snacks for Diwali and got their 3 for $10 sweets to give to family and it total spent almost $50. My family got sick and headache from eating the snacks and we figured the 3 for $10 sweets may be old, so we brought them back. They called us liars and argued with us that they were not bad and how could we bring them back? I want to ask them if they would give their family something that they eat and made them sick without complaining or wanting an explanation? And they had no answer to give to that question. The owner even told us not to even expect good food for $10. So why even sell it in the first place if it’s not good food? They were talking so bad about us in front of us, they do not know customer service at all and should not even have a shop or restaurant if they don’t know how to treat their paying customers. They now lost our business for everything else we use to come in and buy now because they don’t know how to handle customer concerns. And most of all this happened on Diwali sweets. If you wouldn’t give it to your family, don’t sell it, and don’t tell us “this is what you get for your money” it is not an answer.

It used to be a good quality Indian store with cheap prices but as they made customers their quality went downhill. A lot I mean a lot of their stuff is expired including kids snacks , frozen food, cookies, sauces etc etc. the shop owner n his son both are super rude. And they some how manage to charge extra money on your card I don’t know how they do it so professionally. I go there with my kids n while my attention is not on the transaction while checking out they quietly add more charges. N when I go home n do the math it comes out that they this fraud. Never going there again. Worst Indian store in town

Delicious food. We have been at the restaurant after buying groceries and food was so yummy.we had the best biryani ever.Price is reasonable and quantity was very good. Staff is very well behaved,kind and Nice. I would definitely prefer this Indian restaurant in Philly.

In the heart of downtown, I first discovered Dana Mandi on Chestnut Street, where the aroma of Paronthe Makhan naal and a steaming cup of tea delighted my senses. Five years later, in a quest to revisit this culinary haven, I learned it had relocated to Upper Darby. Determined to share the magic with my parents on our journey from DC to New York, I was met with the unfortunate news of its closure due to property loss from floods and a dwindling customer base. Despite adversity, the resilient owner, Sardar Ji, graciously welcomed us into the nearly completed party hall. As his cherished guests, we were treated not merely as customers but as members of his extended family. Serving us freshly brewed tea from their kitchen downstairs, he exuded warmth and hospitality. Inspired by his resilience, I inquired about an alternative place nearby, and in response, he provided not just information but an experience that went beyond expectations. Even in the face of personal and professional setbacks, Sardar Ji's dedication to hospitality shone through. I left not only with groceries for my home but also with a deep appreciation for the kindness and strength displayed by this local business owner. I urge everyone to offer them a chance to revive and flourish, contributing to the resilience of our local communities. May health and wealth grace Sardar Ji and his family. I eagerly anticipate returning countless times, should fate allow.

Best rice...price went up after COVID 19 hits the World. So we all feel the pinch but hey it's life and we still here with the grace of God and the Angels. Don't complain. Be grateful.

Just awesome Indian offerings. Family owned business. New banquet hall just opened upstairs.

I visited with my friends here two months ago and I was happy I made a choice to come here except Dana Mandi. This store is very big and has way better options available. The restaurant in the basement provides the best home made food taste. We did get some food packed for the next day as well. We are here today and it's a routine now for Indian grocery shopping and good Indian fresh meals.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IN THESE DAYS OF COVID. I initially had a positive impression of Dana Mandi, as they let me do a curbside pickup. However, yesterday I actually went to the store, and am now worried about what I might have been exposed to. The owner insisted that I wear gloves, and I readily did so. But neither he nor anyone else in the store wore a mask, even after I reminded him of this. The woman who rang me up wasn't wearing one either even though there no shield and her face was quite close to mine. NOT DONE

second branch of dana Mandi, has parking which is nice
