This was my first time shopping at an Indian grocery store, and it was such a pleasant experience! I had a shopping list of spices and ingredients I had never purchased before at mainstream grocery stores, and I had no idea what they should look like. But the layout of Patel Brothers was very easy to navigate, and has an amazing and comprehensive spice aisle, filled with the most exotic spices, in many different sizes, for about 1/5 of the price as you would pay at Whole Foods. Almost all of the packages had the English translation, which made it easy for me to spot the ingredients I needed. But they are cutting corners with putting prices on things, especially in the produce section, where a lot of items didn't have a price card. Unlike the impression that other reviewers had, I thought some of the produce looked dingy and wilted. They had a very large selection of prepackaged dinners, where you just add protein to the mystery bag of sauce/spice. I can't wait to come back and try those. Speaking of protein, they lack a meat department, so don't count on getting your chicken here.
