Spice Bazaar

Great indian grocery store with a large selection of stuff. Its actually very clean which is hard to find for indian stores. Great prices too.

Undoubtedly the best Indian grocery store in the entire NY state. Was surprised with the sheer variety of stuff kept ranging from vegetables, to grocery, to sweets, to incense sticks, they have a unmatched variety of a lot of stuff. That kind of variety is difficult to find even in a grocery store in INDIA !!! Its a Paradise for Indian shoppers !!! Prices are reasonable too. The owner appeared to be very courteous as well ! I was blown away with my first visit to this store ! (And I have been to a lot of Indian stores all over NY state, MA and Florida).

I must definitely say that this is the best grocery store in Rochester.
— They have varieties for north/​South indian groceries, almost all of them and it’s really comprehensive.
— Especially when i compare with other stores in rochester, there way of treating the customers is far better.
All in all, one stop shop for all indian groceries need… :)

They have everything! This is a fantastic Indian grocery store.

I definitely have to say Spice Bazaar is my favorite Indian grocery in the greater Rochester area. It’s on Jefferson road relatively close to the Park Point Plaza and South Town, but it has such a wide variety of everything Indian at such amazing prices that it’s the most perfect place to get any Indian ingredient you might need.
They have an entire aisle dedicated to JUST SPICES and in large amounts, usually a fresh Indian bakery with classic Indian fudges/​dessert-​like items in front with the cash register, you can buy saffron at amazing prices up front, and really a large selection of fresh produce you can’t find anywhere else in Rochester — things like karela, chayote, mung beans, okra, and more.
They have a wide selection of frozen products, pastes, jams, rare baking supplies (pomegranate syrup and molasses, special Indian colorings), foreign snacks, and different kinds of daal and rice — there is absolutely no doubt in my mind when I call it a wonderful bazaar of plenty!

Absolutely the BEST Indian grocery in Rochester!
Beautiful vegetables and herbs at wonderful prices! And, all the dry goods, spices, rices, chutneys & pickles, flours, frozen foods, etc., etc., etc, you could ever need for Indian cooking.
I have shopped at most of the Indian groceries in the area and it is my opinion that Spice Bazaar has the largest, best selection and the lowest prices.
Spize Bazaar is owned and operated by Chander Sud, who has provided Rochester with the best Indian food and shopping for as long as I can remember. He is always friendly and helpful and just a nice person. It’s also great to see his wife, Shobha there on Saturdays. She is always a delight.
If you are at all interested in cooking Indian food, learning about Indian food or just want to visit a different kind of market, you must go to Spice Bazaar! Hey, even if you’re not ready to dive in and make your first batch of chhole, you could always pick up a delicious, ripe mango! (Who doesn’t like a good mango?) Plus, you will be supporting local business at the same time.
(P.S. The Sud family has opened up the most delicious Indian restaurant right next door to Spice Bazaar. It’s called Raj Mahal. You have to check it out, it’s wonderful. Check out my review for Raj Mahal, here on Unilocal.)

This is my favorite Indian grocer in the area. The prices are reasonable and I am always walking out with something new. Wegmans has been expanding its Indian food selection, but this place is still king. My best tip about this place: Pick up any spices you can find here. Whole black peppercorns are so cheap here as well as other common spices like cumin and coriander.
