Either they are way overpriced or are intentionally overcharging me, its hard to know because many items are not labeled and Ive never been able to get an itemized receipt. The last time I went I got a bag of rice, a couple packages of paneer and naan and the total was $50. I had started going here because they are more reliably stocked than another Indian grocery further up Rockville Pike but at least at that one I never feel like I am being gauged.

Im really thankful for Dana Bazar grocery store for my family choices since im originated from India 🇮🇳 we buy my favorite grocery items so many choices and great location for me

Very convenient and well-stocked Indian grocery store… … pepper fried mutton is flavory takeout 🥡and all kinds of green chilies, 🌶 sources, freshly made snacks, raw bananas, mango… yum 😋

Do not follow FDA rules, no price tag on selling items. Keeo change in price based on customer. This store should be close. Is there any FDA insoector looking for their own rules or just taling cash from owner and approving licence?I recommend not ti visit unless owner follows the FDA rules.

Somewhat drab. Has the essentials of Indian grocery. Vegetable and fruit selection is minimal, didn’t look that fresh.

Its a small store. They do have most South Asian groceries. But very limited produce items.Biggest concern I had was on their billing. It doesnt say which item costs what. Everything on the bill just says Grocery! Kind of confusing and you dont know how much you are paying. Also the prices are not labeled properly.There are much better Asian stores around.

This is a small store with a lot of stuff. The produce is fresh and nicely packaged. I asked for a hard to get item during covid and was told it would be in on Friday. I didnt go back for a few weeks but he remembered that I asked for it. I think this was pretty amazing especially since we are all wearing masks. Highly recommend this store.

Clean, well stocked, everything you need for making Indian cuisine. The staff is very friendly and very helpful

Get all Indian items from one place. Dana Bazaar is the place for you to go. Highly recommend coming to Dana Bazaar.

Great place for Indian Groceries. I would highly recommend for anybody in the Rockville area.

Not clean. Was so hard to find a product cus too much inventory was in the store.

I have been going to Dana Bazaar for more than 15 years. I would recommend everyone to stop by here for Indian grocery.

I have been going to Dana Bazaar for more than 10 years. Excellent place for Indian grocery.

Just be careful and check your receipt every time when you buy stuff from their. They either overcharge you (compare their price with near my Indian stores and you will find out) or charge you twice for the same item. Not only me, I have found them doing the same thing to others; once they convinced an old guy in front of me to buy 10 samosas for $5 but they packaged only 8 when they charged him for 10, they did the same thing to me two weeks before that. You would be better off driving extra couple of miles to a different store for a genuine service and better price.

Had the worst ever experience, not the regular guy was there in the cashier. Shouting and barking at customers . I regret I had been a long standing customer for them. Threw the bag and told to put the goods inside. Not worthy even a star

I have actually owned and ran a successful Indian meat and grocery market . The service at this store and lack of customer service skills, product knowledge, curtesy, body language need to be addressed for the future of the business. Typical peering looks by desi men at ladies does not sit well with customers especially personal questions when you don’t know them. Your manners and body language can make or break your business. What I recommended costs nothing !

Quite a spice collection.

Great assortment of flat breads .

Actually this is the best place ever for indian groceries ( they got everything you need ) always fresh and clean.The manager knows how to make customers feel welcome and happy.I tried their fresh samosa and it was amazing specially with the home made sauces.Authentic Products and Prices are excellent.Try it and you wont be disappointed.I wish Dana Bazaar to become a big and successful store forever.

Very good service and stock

Clean, well stocked, everything you need for making Indian cuisine. The staff is very friendly and very helpful.

Call to inquire about item if it is available in their store. the guys who picked up the phone so sure rude and said he is call back. he rude got the bad taste even before going to the store. if they are so rude and behave like this through phone. image how they will treat their customer who is present in the store. never going there and warning everyone not to go there too. they do not need our business.

Visited this place for the first time not to long ago. Gentlemen behind the counter was super informative. The fish rolls were epic as well.

I would not recommend anybody to buy anything from this shop as price are very high that other indian grocery store and working staff doesnt have etiquette.

Excellent South Asian grocer that has quality store-made coriander sauce and Indian baked goods, as well as a wide selection of frozen and canned goods from the subcontinent and Arabian peninsula.

While Indian stores are not known for their great presentation, orderliness, or cleanliness, this one ranks at the bottom. I would not recommend it.

This place has stuff that is long past its shelf life. Despite bringing it to the attention of the manager i found the same stuff back on the shelf the next time i visited. Last i bought a bottle of Marmite and sent it with my parents back home overseas. They found the bottle was already opened and more than half of it was used. Its atrocious.

Helpful staff and great variety. I love how they have fresh, homemade treats right in the front. Highly recommended!

Good Desi/Sri Lankan store for a quick short run if you live in the neighborhood. Slightly expensive compared to the ones up north on the pike in Rockville

Its a good Indian groceries food place with wide range of foods.

Dana Bazaar has everything essential Indian at a reasonable price.

Good selection and convenient location within walking distance of Metro, but a bit overpriced

I had so much fun...they helped me with the spices I needed and even gave me a samosa...

I go here only as a last resort. The srilankan staff is friendly and helpful unlike the ever impatient and irritated owner! Overcharges on everything as most things are unmarked, no price stickers, so you have no clue! Go to Patel Bros on Rockville pike instead.

Good selection of desi groceries but I found the prices to be on the higher side.

Fantastic service and they have almost everything in that place to furnish our home !

Awesome. Fair prices, good range of products. He even gave us something free. Very nice manager.

An awesome selection of spices, chutneys, pickles, frozen dishes, fresh veggies and more. The National brand mango pickle is to die for.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first visited. The second time I bought 3 packets of frozen parathas, which were great the first time I bought them. This batch all turned out to be mouldy and rotten - uncookable. Dana Bazaar needs to look into this.

Indian Grocery store. Prices are expensive. But u get / offered free masala tea by the shop owner. He is very friendly. Also has grocery stuff from Sri Lanka.

Well stocked and great prices. Wish I lived next door.

Worst place ever. Be CAREFUL WHEN HE IS RINGING THE PRICE. HE WILL OVERCHARGE YOU, since they put the prices manually in the register, not scan it. If you care about your hard earned money, run away from this place.

Well stocked with Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani dry foods. But beware of random price entries at checkout.

Good Indian and srilankan spice collection, you will find fish in ice block.

Good place to buy groceries and spices

Great little place, certainly not a scam as written in one of the previous reviews.....I am pretty sure that there is politics going on in the review section....possibly competition or disgruntled employees definitely go visit and judge for yourself......

This place is full of items that are expired beyond the sell by date. It’s unbelievable how many items they leave out like this and no one notices!! They should be reported to food regulations and their license revoked or suspended until they comply to food safety standards. They also push you to buy products that you don’t even need or came to shop for when you go to check out.

Plenty of parking. Smallish Indian store specializing in Indian, Sri Lankan foods

They keep all expired items and High Price. Bad Experience . Will never go again.

The old guy on the counter is very impolite. He has to learn to be polite if he wants business.

Good place for south east asian food

Great place for Info Sri Lankan food.

It is unique shop which have different items from ordinary shops more of Indian items are seen on the shelf. The price little bit expensive than the Chinese or Corian shops.

As the other reviewer suggested, they intentionally hide the prices and try to charge it higher prices. I needed a couple of spices and didnt wanted to go all the way to Patel brothers so I thought Dana Bazaar- close to my house cant be that bad but it is that bad!!!!! He charged 100gms - 3.5oz of turmeric $2.99, which is ridiculous. They try to cheat you out of your money. Avoid this place like a plague!!!!!!

Great little Indo Sri Lankan store

Decent options, friendly service.. Good option if you are in the neighborhood

They have Sri Lankan style chili paste!!! I drive from BMore just for that!

An option for Indian grocery when you are looking for the standard items. For our main grocery shopping for Indian food related items we generally tend to gravitate towards the Korean grocery stores like Lotte Plaza and H-Mart since they carry the widest selection of Indian grocery items and are also huge and clean and have stuff that is not past the expiration date (things that may be the opposite at Indian grocery stores).

Good place to shop sri lanka grocery!

Small place but Great selection of Sri Lankan and Indian stuff.

Very friendly and helpful staff, wide variety of goods.

Nice selection...great service

Very good indian grocery store in Columbia.very good service & resanable price.

He is a thief! Do not go there! 400 gms or paneer 4.99....800 gms 10.99? R u serious? When asked about price says we dont make enough money. The owner is straight up theif! I would rather not eat Indian food then giving away money like that. 8.99 for 30 piece roti....he just randomly places the prices without having sticker on any of his items. If you go there be ready to be pay a fortune! I would give them negative drive if I could.

This place is just ok and prices are little bit higher than other desi bazars

Good customers service

Can be pricey if not attentive

Great for Indian and Sri Lankan food. Friendly staff.

Small place but good variety of food

I have been to this store a couple of times, when I am in urgent need for some Indian groceries. As someone else mentioned, many items carry expired date. I bought some soup packets and later to realize, that expiry date on box was almost a year backs. The owner who handles cash register is totally unprofessional and keeps pushing to buy supposedly fresh samosas etc. I mentioned couple of times, I dont need some of the items, yet he kept asking me I should try. Also, he kept asking me some of the personal questions like why I like indian food? if im married to indian person- which is none of his business. I dont recommend this place to anyone. I am not going there anymore.

Very helpful staff

Most of the Indian foods available, people can try it out. Not very near to the transit.

Friendly Staff and Great Selection on products

I used to shop occasionally at this place until one day I glanced at the expiration dates on some of the items I was purchasing. About 50% of what I had in my basket was way, way out of date. After that I decided Id look elsewhere for my Indian groceries.

Worst experience ever !!Shockingly rude when questioned about prices of items. This place is a scam. Most of the items dont have a price tag on them and have been removed manually. The owner justs shouts at you while attending youWhat a nightmare!!

Useful store, friendly staff

The only issue is they dont accept cards upto 15$ bill.

Scam, scam. expired, high prices, rude.

High prices and not too many options

The representative at the reception and the owner handded false receipt .The items are overpriced .I think they fool consumers n government.

U will get everything needed from an Indian store. They are little pricey than shah Patel though. No discounts or sale like in shah Patel.

Okay placd

GrEAT

It has most of the goods

Prices are high high and high for every thing..

Very expensive

A bit expensive
