| - What a great, little hidden gem! I happened to be walking by (I live in the neighborhood) and saw the grand opening sign and decided to pop in. Boy, am I glad I did! Don't let the size of this little shop fool you. They are chock full of wonderful, international delights. The owner, Vena (sp?), was very kind and eager to show me around the store. You can tell that she is very passionate about her business in the excited way she talks about it. I fully support local businesses and am excited for her and her husband for opening this lovely little market. I walked out of there purchasing a couple of frozen Indian meals and boy, were they ever tasty! If you closed your eyes you might think you're in a fine Indian dining establishment. Vena told me she carries nothing but the best. It's nice to know that there are still people out there who stand by their products. She carries an array of spices for the adventurous cook and prepared items for those of us who are a little less ambitious. It was nice to see that she also has some fresh produce so if I need an onion or potato or some other veggie, I can always pop in there, instead of waiting at the big box grocer. Keep in mind, however, that the place is small so the produce section, while nice, is limited. What I do like about it is that she had some items that you wouldn't normally see in places like Fry's or Basha's.
Vena also told me that she is working with local restaurants on getting some fresh Indian dishes in there for purchase. I can't wait for that!
In closing, I'm really glad they opened this wonderful international, market. It's a welcome addition to Chandler and I highly recommend you stop in there.
