A huge Indian grocery store, India Sweets & Spices, just opened last month in Atwater Village (down the street from the Bigfoot Lodge). Curious, I decided to check it out after work.
Entering the shop, I was quickly transported to another land. (When traveling, we always have to visit the local grocery stores and take home some goodies not usually found in the States.) The store is full of all kinds of good stuff: Indian spices, microwaveable ready-in-minutes meals, mango and lychee drinks, fresh fruits and veggies, and even English candy like Maltesers, Flake and Crunchie Bars.
Attached to the store is a cafeteria-style restaurant offering vegetarian food you can eat there or take to go. I brought home some Gobhi and Samosas -- and they were delicious, with the right amount of spice and not too greasy. You can get the lunch or dinner special for as little as $3.99 to $5.99. India Sweets & Spices also offer an assortment of milk-based desserts (great with the masala tea). The guy behind the counter was nice and funny and gave me a piece of pista burfi and tea to try out.
Worth a visit if you're looking for some good old fashioned authentic Indian food specialties.
