Next to Desi Dhaaba is the grocery and Indian/Pakistani supplies store with a surprising variety of items in such a limited space. Most anything you need to create a taste of home country is here. If you cant find it, ask and theyll get it for you. Spices, pickles, prepared food, variety of teas, snacks, utensils, dry goods...the list continues. Some people seem to think that their prices are a bit higher than the competition, however, I found the prices to be reasonable. Besides, there isnt much competition in the area anyway. There are only three or four other similar stores within five miles of it and they may be slightly less in a few items but not across the board. If you have Desi needs, this place will fit the bill.On Feb 7, 2018, Google was reporting this store as permanently closed. Not true. I called the store and they are very much open. I have reported the error to Google. Hope that will fix it. In the meantime feel free to go to the store. They are ready to welcome you.

This was our very first visit to Desineeds. It was an extremely good experience especially during the CoVid times. They are very well stocked and the staff is very helpful.I will surely give a visit to their Vernon hills location next time I am in need of Desi items.I highly recommend them :)

Update: (August 2020) Spoke with owner & 2 employees - they weren’t wearing mask in store and also letting people to roam around and shop without mask. Poor response upon asking about the City’s guidelines. They said they doesn’t won’t to do that, because they are loosing customers. Money oriented people. Don’t buy. Unhygienic.June, 2020They are not following CDC and state of Illinois pandemic guideline. They are selling goods to people who are not wearing mask.

Review №16

Store owner was refusing the policy of mask wearing. For his reference, it’s required by law to wear a mask otherwise they can get fine $2500. Unhygienic store & employee behavior. They don’t care about COViD19 spread to their customers.

Go to place for basic Indian food. Like any other place, they dont accept credit card for less than 10 bucks. Inconvenience when we are 100% digital!!?

Great little restaurant in here that has home cooked specials and a little Chaat house (snacks/appetizers). Ive never had anything but wonderful food and drinks from here. Other side is a grocery store in case you want to try your hand at recreating a dish youve had.

We replaced order for some samosas and a chicken biryani. When my husband went to pickup they was about to pack it when he saw girl behind counter keep touching her hair and face and not wearing any gloves . He left without picking up our order. Please if you getting food there pay attention how they prepare and pack.

Right place for Desi Items including rare ones. But the rates are too high for some Desi Items. For Example: They billed 8.99$ for a 200g Amul Cheese Chiplets.

This place if perfect for casual dining, I loved their food taste, their hospitality and the menu. Being a Hyderabadi I was sceptical to order biryani from a Punjabi Dhaba but they surprised me. I actually liked the taste. Never miss their chicken 65.

A decent store with almost all of the desi requirements in stock. I would but appreciate more of vegetables in the shelf. The staff there is good, helpful and very much polite and accommodating. When you cannot find something, they come out with you and guide you to the shelf.This is the best so far as compared to the ones in Vernon hills

Review №41

This place is good joint for food as well as grocery. Desi needs and desi dhaba..You can get grocery, sweets, frozen items like chapati, curd, paneer can be found here. Also, few household utensils you can get here, for purchase under 10$, you need to pay cash, all above 10 can be swiped on card.In dhaba, you can get tea, lunch specially indian dishes. Ambience is not what you may expect.

Review №51

This place is very unprofessionally managed. (The owner has his pre-teen/teenage kids managing the register.) Check expiry dates on all their products.As for the restaurant, their chaat isnt bad. The food is blah. No big flavors. I dont think they have experienced cooks. Would rather go to biriyani pointe or other places in the area.
