Good for Indian groceries but very crowded. The place is small and lot of people. I think they should expand but rest all good. For long time I wanted pudina makhana and got the food here. It was to crowded so had to shop fast. They have parking space. They had some deals on veggies as well. Like cilantro 2 bunches in $1. But the offer may change.

If you're cooking Indian foods, this is your place. Yes, it's a grocery store, but geared toward Indian food. I've been here several times and they have a wide variety of options, and a pretty big fresh foods (Fruit and Veggies) section. The biggest issue with this store is that it's constantly packed with people. I guess that's because it's a popular place to go, but it makes it hard to move around and it gets frustrating. There are other Indian grocery stores, but they aren't as big. I also go to Vishnu foods grocery store on Algonquin road in Schaumburg. There's almost always no lines and they have a decent selection of foods.

Patel Brothers Grocers has been here for a while. We've never been in the area when we needed groceries, and this time we did need a few things. We found the location to be well stocked, clean, and very interesting. Yes, this is primarily an Indian grocer. As such, I have to admit there was a lot that I was not familiar with. And, with some writing in Hindi, it wasn't always easy to know what we were looking at. Even in English, I learned that I knew less about Indian foods than I thought. The produce was really nice. Some very unusual items (at least from an American cuisine standpoint). Everything looked fresh and clean. We picked up a few items, the only "unusual" item was Star Fruit, which I have not had in quite a while. In the back is an area where they have homemade foods, a few of which we tried and they were delicious. We picked up from frozen foods, some spices which we don't see at (for example) Jewel, and other items we wanted to try. Pricing is a little higher than Jewel or Mariano's, but not too far off. We plan to go back with friends who know more about these foods than us to learn more next time around.

I love this place. It has everything I want to get in terms of Indian groceries and food. I usually go here to shop for snacks and sweets. But sometimes I also buy their freshly made rotis, theplas (by Western standards, they would be a type of tortillas) etc. I usually find a good variety of savory snacks here that I am a fan of. Prices are generally reasonable. The service is fine. I agree with Mak B. who wrote about watching for the narrow aisles and weekend foot traffic. This store gets congested. A lot of people come here to shop and they are all of the place. Kinda ironic as the traffic from where I come in India is like that too. :-P I like their ice cream selection as well. Good variety to choose from. Some brands are pricey, some aren't. But I feel that if you are a fan of Indian ice cream, then if you'll generally find what you are looking for. Their mithai (sweets) selection is good as well. I haven't shopped for produce here so I don't know how that selection is. I would definitely recommend this place. Go here and check out all that they have to offer. It's worth it.
