Asia Grocery

I love this place! Best Samosas in my opinion. Best prices and spices and incense. This is my go to place for hair products and coconut oil! You can’t find better. I wish they were closer to me. The owners are very nice and hospitable and extremely helpful

BEST samosas in Miami!!! Trust me I’ve tried them all… and the staff are wonderful people who care about their customers over anything else. This is my happy place when I need a hot tea and some Indian comfort food. Also the incense selection is delightful.

This place is awesome the people the treatment the prices and the great variety of food spices jewelry clothes, definitely a MUST VISIT STORE

I’ve been coming here for so damn long, the owner and his family know my family and I. So let me start off by saying that samosas are my favorite food of all time. Nothing comes even close for me — and this place makes the best ones I’ve ever had. This place is dear to my heart, and I hope that it continues to prosper as it deserves to.
It’s a dollar for a samosa. Just saying. Go check it out. You won’t be sorry.
Also, to address the review below regarding their lack of organization: the place is very organized; she chose to take a photo of the one area that isn’t. This person clearly failed to see the magic in this place, which makes me so sad :(

Are you a big fan of Samosas just like me? Well, here you can find the best samosas in TOWN!
On top of that people there are always so happy.
Cheers!

This is the closest Indian shop to me, and I wouldn’t trade it for any other. It’s small, filled with products, and smells just like India. Khalid, the owner, usually has fresh samosas and baklava. They are delicious. You can sit in a tiny table in the shop and order from his menu. It makes you feel like you’re not in Miami anymore. Everything they make is delicious: the chicken roti wrap, the cardamon tea, did I mention the Samosas?
This Asia Grocery is primarily tailored towards East Indians. They sell the «heat and eat» pre-​made Indian foods, have plenty of vegetables, gulab jamun, and chilled yogurt drinks. They have a section of beauty items, household items, and they have the latest Bollywood films available for purchase.
The owner and his wife are so sweet and very friendly. It’s always nice to make a stop at Asia Grocery.

Best samosas I ever had with maimi chutney. Store was hard to find in Maimi though but worth going there. We prefer to buy frozen food from here as its well stored and preserved. It is mix of Indian, pakistani and nepali grocery, additionaly they have small spread of some traditional asian garments.

The store is really disorganized, hard to work through it to look for what you need. I’d never suggest taking in a stroller or wheelchair in this location. I only go to this store if my go to store is out of what I need. Items are priced a bit higher than most places. I guess it’s just taking an opportunity of the location.

Note that this place should be called India Grocery rather than Asia Grocery. Very good selection of Indian food, spices, rice, etc. But you’ll need to go elsewhere if you’re more interested in Chinese groceries. Prices are quite reasonable. Friendly service.

I loved this place. The spice smell is overwhelming when you walk in, but I’m probably just not used to it.
The man (not sure if he’s the owner) treated me & the other patrons in the store like VIP. He helped me find the spices I was looking for & even found me shortcut pre-​mixed spices to make my Indian dishes even faster. He even gave me tips on different ways to make use of my spices.
They have beautiful fresh ginger in the fridge. There were also other fresh items in there like mint, culantro and fruit.
Now I can make all those interesting recipes I’d been holding on to because of not being able to find the ingredients. Yay!

Unfortunately this place is not wheelchair accessible. The store is very confusing mixing soap, spices, juices and appliances turning difficult to figure out where to find things. It is a shame in the US we have to face this situation with a store with boxes all over the floor, tight aisles and staff not willing to make things easier for a wheelchair user. I do not recommend this place at all for wheelchair users, strollers, etc. I could spend a lot of money there, if it was accessible and organized, but I was only able to find a couple of things on my reach by the cashier spending 20 bucks. I will never go there again until they renovate this place. Miami is not India.

Great grocery store for all your Indian needs. Staff were really helpful with aiding me in finding all the spices I couldn’t see immediately. and Pssst… the Samosas or Pakora’s that they make there are delicious!!!

I have been searching for fresh turmeric root for a couple months in south Florida with no luck at the major chain health food stores or even a couple farmers markets. Asia grocery had plenty in stock along with fresh ginger and a variety of other spices and Indian treats. The staff was very friendly and the place definitely had a family business vibe. :) They also carry European chocolate bars (the real Cadbury). I will definitely be back to explore some more. Thanks!

They were very pleasant was here. They took the time to show us around. The owners patiently explained the products about which we inquired. Very nicely stocked grocery store. They have just about everything you’d be looking for. Very well organized and clean. Looking forward to visiting again.

Great selection of indian food at great prices!!! Amazing chutneys, naan and great discounted package indian food

Recently, I started cooking classes at Ayesha’s Kitchen. In class I learned the intricacies of Indian spices and the value of fresh spices. This place rocks the spice world, everyone there is very helpful, the store is well stocked and great prices. They also make killer samosas!

Great Indian market. Packed with all kinds of Indian groceries. It mostly non perishable although they do have diary products like yoghurt and ghee. They also have many frozen flatbreads. I also had a potato Somosa and a sandwich which was delicious. Take it to go though because sitting there is a little strange. It’s basically like eating a sandwich in a supermarket.

Stopped in here earlier this evening after reading all the positive reviews, and wanted to leave one myself!
As soon as I walked in, the young woman at the cash register greeted me with a friendly smile and helped me find the spices I was looking for. We chatted for a bit about the Indian community in Miami and Bollywood films that will be playing in South Florida. I felt very welcome here.
The selection of products is pretty big; everything from spices and lentils, to cooking supplies, Bollywood films and CDs, skin care, produce, frozen meals, and more.
I will definitely be back.
Miami doesn’t have a huge selection of stores to purchase Indian foods, so this place is a gem!

At least once in your lifetime stop by here to get the most incredible samosas… and I’m sure you’ll be returning for more. They are only $ 1 each and they have the most incredible flavor. Add some chili sauce for an extra kick.
Also try the Veggie rolls, they are something like $ 3.50 and are so good. Finish off with some pistachio baklava and you’ve had a light, healthy, delectable meal.
Oh and the grocery offers a ton of Asian items packed in a small space and the nice owners will be glad to assist you for whatever you’re looking for. But I mainly come to satisfy my samosa and veggie roll cravings.

In college I dated an exchange student from the London School of Economics, she was basically the human version of the United Nations. Born in Israel, ethnically Turkish, spoke Greek, and practiced a customized version of Sunni Islam. Hande didn’t cover her hair with a hijab or abstain from alcohol, but was tyrannical about observing religious holidays and not eating haraam (forbidden) foods.
We met just before Ramadan, the month of fasting, and she spent that time starving and jittery from nicotine withdrawal. Towards the end of the month she was starting to get delirious, and probably imagined I was a walking-​talking İskender kabob and get uncomfortably close to smokers to inhale their breath. I needed to cheer her up. After a successful Ebay mission to get a carton of Lark cigarettes, I was on a quest find Halaal meat. The only problem was Miami isn’t Dearborn, Michigan with the nation’s largest Muslim community. This was pre-​Yelp so by sheer luck I found a Pakistani cabbie outside of Club Space, and he pointed me to Asia Grocery. It not only had what I was looking for but these treats as well –
A menu of seven homestyle items cooked to order. The whole bill of fare costs $ 20 and will feed 2 big, 3 average, or 4 small people. Having not even seen a South Asian until I got to my first college-​level Chemistry class, I had no idea what I was eating. For your benefit here’s a brief glossary –
Paratha: buttery fried bread.
Chicken Tikka: marinated in yogurt, butter and spices, then baked in a clay oven and served with a cucumber/​onion/​tomato salad.
Rolls: beef kabab (spicy ground meat), chicken kabab (saffron-​spiced) or vegi (curried legumes and vegetables) wrapped in a paratha.
Samosa: fried pastry stuffed with spiced garbanzos, potatoes, peas and carrots served with chili sauce.
I washed it all down with some freaky drinks. It was a bit of trial and error as I tried an Aampanna (green mango) juice box that was saltier than licking Paula Deen’s armpit. As an encore I tried Ayran (mint yogurt drink) that’s similar to lapping up a Yoplait that someone that doesn’t like you dashed against the ground at the Bonneville salt flats. These are some I enjoyed –
Badam: sounds like something a pimp from the ‘70s would say, «I went BADAM! on those jive turkeys!» but it’s really almond milk available in regular, chocolate or saffron flavor.
Basil Seed Drink: feels like you’re drinking a bottle of insect larvae but tastes like the goddess of love Kamadeva herself poured you a glass of honey-​wine.
Idris Fiery: ginger beer with hands that will literally choke you with hot hot heat.
After trying sweets made from lentils (Jaangiri) I decided to go the more familiar route and purchased Kulfi (frozen custard). The flavors made me realize why the spice trade began in the first place… Falooda (rose), Kesar (saffron) and Pista (pistachio).
Asia Grocery is a scaled-​down version of the Anarkali Market in Lahore, Pakistan which sells anything and everything from instruments to rice cookers. If you need any help don’t be afraid to ask any of the employees of this family-​owned business. They’re a treasure trove of information for where to buy saris, best tea for making chai or recommendations for Hindi films.
I counted down the end of Ramadan to the minute and made my entrance bearing cancer-​sticks from England, meats blessed by a cleric, and potatoes (Polish vodka). We watched the Bollywood rom-​com, Salaam-​Namaste, and then I serenaded her with Modern English’s lyrics «I’ll stop the world an melt with you» while using a kulfi popsicle as a microphone. It was a night worth waiting 43 829 minutes for.
