So happy to find Patel Brothers here. As a devotee of Patel Brothers in NY, I was overjoyed to see a location in my new town. Because I am gluten-free, it can be challenging to find inexpensive gluten-free items. Also, I just love Indian and ethnic food. I get my coconut, sorghum, chickpea, and rice flour from here, as well as various nuts and dried fruits. Spices are inexpensive and can be bought in bulk.
I typically do not buy prepared foods, produce, or snacks from here, so cannot comment on the quality of those items. Most of the items I buy are high-turnover staples, so I don't worry too much about time on the shelf.
Indian produce can be found at the Charlotte Regional Farmer's Market, so if I need something I usually find it there.
Highly recommended :D
