Amar Grocery

I went in to go get some henna and definitely going to come back for more the man that helped me was very nice and funny too they had lots of good things as well as henna I will definitely recommend this place to others

People here are only nice to their own kind! As you can see, good comments are coming from…
Just look at their last names.
My experienced there was really bad! I bought 3 Mangoes from that store for $ 4.50 and when i got home and start peeling them. Two of the mangoes i bought we’re black inside. I went back to the store right away with those two mangoes to show them so i can
exchange them. The old Indian guy from the counter told me that they don’t do returns and/​or exchange on fruits! He said he can give me only 1 FREE MANGO! I PAID for it.
They told me I can’t do anything so I left with just ONE MANGO!

I ordered samosas from here. They were excellent! Wonderful flavor, fresh ingredients and piping hot. ONLY disappointment, the chutney sauce was not in the box when I got home. I assumed it typically came with the order, but I should have asked anyway. I will be back to try more for sure!

Very friendly people. Excellent selection of spices. If they don’t have what you need they will order it for you.

I found rose pedals for the cardamom cream cake I made from a 12/​30/​2015 recipe from the New York Times at this awesome store on Fairfield’s main street. It has hundreds of spices, dried legumes, sweets – from candies to cookies, fresh vegetables, hair oil, at least five types of rose water to an entire section of clothing, jewels and fabric. They can even make a special, ornately decorated silk dress in ten days for you. The people are kind, helpful and friendly. Take a walk around this wonderful shop to experience an adventure to the Punjabi. I love this store. Herb and I are fans.

Very good place to buy Indian and Pakistani groceries.
Prices are very reasonable compare to spice for less.
They have fresh vegetables. Friendly customer service.

The owners are unfriendly and rude. The prices of items depend on the customer, they are not honest. I am never going back. Thank god there are other options for indian goods in fairfield.

Called and asked a question if they do alterations well since they carry punjabi suits. that lady said NOOO and hanged up didnt even let me finish. WTF. Lady u got no respect to talk on the phone only in person when i come and spend big bucks there well not any more. how well are u running that bussines??. If you cant even be polite on the phone .damn shame

3 star for overall stuff they carry and the produce. I hesitate to put this review, but thought it may help someone. There will be no price tags on most of the grocery and at the register you can expect some unexpected prices. I used to ignore this, but not anymore after my last visit. For a small bag of flour (normally $ 2) they charged me $ 5. It’s not the matter of $ 3, but I feel not going there anymore.

Cute Amazing store. They have everything you could possibly need to make an authentic indian recipe.

I really don’t have a good reason for not giving this place 5 stars other than this was my first visit and I am hesitant being overly-​enthusiastic. But hey, I’m here reviewing it on Unilocal not four hours after my visit, so let’s just say it’s a 4.5 rating.
My family and I went to Amar to procure some hard-​to-​find ingredients for my never-​ending experimentation with Indian food. Not only did they have everything we were looking for but the proprietor was extraordinarily friendly & took the time to help us find the really unusual items like nigella seeds and mango powder. This is also the place to go for curry leaves, mass-​quantities of lentils, and just about anything else you could think of needing for a home-​made Indian feast.
A minor note for non-​Indians shopping there: if you have a specific list of items you need, make sure you have either the Indian name for the ingredient or have a smart phone with Google at the ready. Nigella seeds are called kalonji, green mango powder is called amchoor, and I would have been up a creek if I hadn’t been able to look it up in a hurry.
