I bought this gram flour a couple of weeks ago and found full of black mites inside the sealed pack when I opened it. It seems the shop owner is more focused on increasing prices than on improving product quality.

Ask for a receipt and check it before leaving the shop. Have been over charged twice in a row lately. Once for something that I didn't even buy. 3 cauliflowers! And a second time, charged extra for something incorrectly weighed. 150 grams somehow became 1kg! Not sure if a genuine mistake or not, both times. Wonder how many other times this has happened to me or others in the past, that didn't check their receipt.

Decent variety of items, lots of options, quality produce, only downs is that usually making it hard to get around the store is because staff are always restocking or doing something in the isles especially during peak hours, parking is limited and cash registers is busy may take a while since there’s only 2-3. Overall I would recommend their products though since they have great prices!

A better alternative out of 3 Indian stores in Christchurch. I visited late during closing hours and the cashier at that time was least helpful which is excusable due to my visiting hours. Better wide offering with almost the same pricing. Ample parking space.
