Review of Asia Foods Store, West LA

 

  Asia Foods Store is probably the best Indian/Pakistani store in the West Los Angeles/Culver City area. Asia Foods is right there on Venice Blvd, just past Motor Ave if you are driving East on Venice Blvd.

The store offers all your standard grocery needs like spices, rice, atta, snacks, frozen foods etc. They have a Halal Meat counter as well. One of the things that is great about this store is they have a very good fresh vegetables section where you can get a decent variety of Indian veggies like Bhindi, Palak, Karela etc. They also have a good selection of fresh herbs like coriander leaves, curry leaves, mint leaves. Most of the other stores in the area are quite poor (with the exception of Samosa House). 

This store is very popular in the area and this means that their products sell out fast and so there is fresh stock on the shelves all the time. Whenever you go to the store (especially in the mornings), you can see them stocking the shelves or adding fresh vegetables. The store owners are very friendly and very helpful (unlike India Sweets and Spices where they are pretty rude in my opinion). You would enjoy shopping here.

Review of A & S Market, West LA


{mosimage}A & S Food Market is a little store on the corner of Venice and Midvale Ave.  If you are driving on Venice Blvd, you cannot miss it. I typically visit the store for its convenient location (a 2 minute walk from where I live). The store is a standard size Indian grocery store and has about 5-6 aisles of spices, masala pastes, rice, atta and other Indian cooking needs. It also has a fairly big Halal meat section at the back of the store. There is a frozen food section which carries your standard products like milk, juices, frozen vegetables, rotis, parathas etc.

One of the big factors why I dont shop here is the variety of available items is much smaller that some of the other stores in the West LA area. They have very limited options on most of the items. They also do not carry many fresh vegetables. You will probably find only potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic and tomatoes and if you are lucky some fresh herbs.
