DESI Indian Hypermarket - Calgary

As a South Indian, I found everything I was looking for in one stop at a reasonable price.

Editing this... low rating due to over-pricing.. I will continue to visit and increase the rating if I find it better.. I will upload pictures next time

Very very very overpriced!! I guess taking the extra store space in the strip mall might have been expensive and selling plantain chips at 6 bucks a pack might make it up?

Really nice place to get your South Indian grocery. Reasonable prices and lots of choices.

Great selection of Indian goods and the store manager Dyson is very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service , especially the employee name Athira is very cooperative and helped me in searching the products i need. They provide the delivery serviceas well. Love to visit there again.

We tried their weekend snacks and it tasted awesome. Reminded us of back home. The store has a variety of South Indian brands and groceries to choose from and they are still adding more. Thank you for your hard work.

Pros: One of the few places to get Kerala / Indian food items. Cons: 1. Did not enjoy shopping here the last couple of times. Mainly because the staff follow around pushing to buy stuffs not in our plans (because they are supposedly discounted or on offer). Example, a particular brand of idli rice we were told was $10 off at $18 (around black friday 2021). Other brands of idli rice were sold between $21- 23 or something. I asked what is special about the brand on offer that it is originally priced $28 ( 10$ off at sales price of $18 ) and the person selling the offer didnt have an explanation. If the intention is to let customers know of offers, please have the info available in some other way rather than having your staff follow the customers around. Its a personal choice, but I did not want to sound rude to the staff asking him to leave us alone. 2. Some brands of products also were not of good quality. If I recollect right, had some make of mixture which tasted awful, one brand of kerala porotta that was so thick and small . For the price of these snacks, quality is important. (This might not be on the shop, but just saying ).
