Very rude owner, and everything is very very expensive. Better to visit other place. Not recommended

Have been going there with my wife since I arrived in Germany. Always found it average but the last visit was the worse of all. We went to the store after shopping from EuroGida and Woolworth and we had two bags full with us. The person sitting at counter rudely asked me to put the bags at the counter, it felt weird but I put them there anyway. Then he sent an employee behind us to follow and he kept creeping and asking "do you need anything?" Like come on man, we are seeing and will put what we need in the basket, leave us alone. That's exactly what I said to him. But the worst part was yet to come. When we were checking in our items it reminded we missed the Oyster Sauce and I asked the same guy who was following us that can you bring me the oyster sauce? He brought it and gave it to the man at counter and he again quite rudely asked us, "is this what you need? Please check it and don't say after that it was wrong." My wife jokingly said that it's a Pakistani store, everything here must be halal. The man said, "I have not seen people like you in my 37 years here." We were taken aback and still with a smiling face said what do you mean by that? And then he said that what you did last time I still remember. I had seen that person the first time and all of the 3 times I visited that store some other person used to be at counter. I said to him that you must be mixing us with some other people as I have seen you first time and it's always the other person. Then he starting talking very rudely that people like you come here and create problems and blah blah and my wife was still taking the humorous side of it and was joking and then that man said, "it's not a theatre here". I felt an urge of anger inside me and wanted to leave without taking anything but I had already paid by then.

In the end, never visiting that store again, you are representing my country there and you must be ashamed of way you talk to customers.

Good selection of Desi household items and exists in a good area of the city booming with Halal options. Halal meat is easy to get and the guy understands English (meat only).

So what’s wrong? Quite a rude guy at the service. Probably the owner but such entitled and unsupportive behaviour? I don’t get it. I’ve been there twice just so I can prove myself wrong that it wasn’t on purpose.. not really. Loads of other options in the area to get your groceries honestly.

They have all the basic stuff you would expect in an India shop. Nothing mind blowing. Wish there were more products in the ready to eat section. Liked the meat section. The sweets were terrible but one cannot expect authentic sweets outside our country. Wouldn't recommend that. I mostly go for the frozen parathas, spices, dal, besan, rava etc. Didn't try the idli/dosa batter. Will update after I tried that.

I was able to find all the Indian groceries/ food items at a reasonable price. The frozen samosas were amazing

Indian and Pakistani grocery shop in Berlin. Easy to reach, You will get all the Indian food, masala etc. It's good n cheap as compared to other Indian stores in Berlin.

Never again here. Really congested aisles and on top 'Boss' is super arrogant.
Dong Xuan Center has 6, 7 shops with far better quality and range of Pakistani/Indian gorceries. A lots of free parking is also available.
