About Indian Groceries & Spices

For over 50 years Indian Groceries and Spices has helped Milwaukee experience the delectable flavors of southern Asia, selling ingredients central to their native Indian cuisine.

​

Through their retail outlet and flagship store, first located on 25th and National Avenue, and since moved to a variety of locations including their new store at 10701 W. North Ave., their entrepreneurial enterprise has grown to be Indian grocery store in Wisconsin. With over 10,000 SKUs you are sure to find the items you are looking for.

​

Our business started off small, as a personal venture, allowing our family to continue eating the traditional foods they were used to in India. Our shop offered essentials including spices, lentils and rice to a handful of Indian families, students and doctors living in the area. But, it has since grown into our own mini-empire.

​

Our new location, which is four times the size of their most recent store, is the largest Indian grocer in Wisconsin at over 11,000 square feet of retail and storage space.  Shoppers will find an expanded line of fresh, ready-to-eat prepared meals, fresh produce, canned goods, rice, legumes, flours and an expansive array of more than 200 spices and spice blends. A grab-and-go deli also features snacks like samosas, kachoris and masala puffs.

​

India is a very vast country, with varying cuisines in each region and we accommodate with ingredients from North and South India, as well as everywhere in between.

​

Cooks of all levels will find a wide variety of cooking equipment and utensils, including pressure cookers which have grown widely popular for cooking lentils. Gluten-free shoppers will be delighted with the wide variety of options, including a wide variety of gluten-free flours, grains, and packaged items.  And vegetarians will be excited to note that the store is completely meat-free.

​

Serious foodies will love that the store carries specialty imported produce items like bitter melons, tindora, and fresh chickpeas, along with specialty items like Indian ice cream and an extensive array of over 50 types of flatbreads.

​

For those who would like to learn more about Indian cooking, it’s worthwhile to note that Bharti Sanghavi, the matriarch of the family business, is also the author of a self-published cookbook featuring vegetarian Indian cuisine. "Beyond the Curry with Bharti" ($28.95) which focuses on cooking techniques she learned from her mother and grandmother.  It reflects the knowledge she gained while taking cooking classes in India, and attempts to bring the flavors of her home country to kitchens everywhere.

​

We look forward to seeing you soon!
