Their weighing scale is corrupted. I bough few groceries yesterday and billed at the first counter. To my surprise the weights were totally off the charts and when I weighed them with my digital weighing scale at home, Its not even close to half of what they billed me for. Upon calling, Manager was like - we never do these stuffs and agreed to give me the credit. I stopped by the next day and the associates at front desk doesnt even pay any attention until they got to see the weight difference with their own eyes (weights are correct in all other registers except the first one) They did give me the credit after collecting their veggies :) but not sure how long ago their weight scale was messed up. ****Their Manager is not convinced yet and advising their front desk cashiers to keep using that cooked up register for billing!***** Dont know whom to blame here but the poor customers are kind of cheated!!!

The price of Kankoda in Patel Bazaar which was spoiled was 6.99 Dollar and if it is too much to calculate it is bad then they should sell cheap Corona and the price of some items has gone up many times after the virus.compare to other Indian store they got high price on some of few products

Huge selection and the largest Indian grocery I’ve been to. I used to go to a small one on Independence like 20 years ago to rent Bollywood movies. Would’ve liked to buy samosas or food already prepared, but the line was long. Picked up several spices that were good and spicy which is sometimes hard to find with the Indian selection at Harris Teeter.

Great prices. I dont buy everything I need from here, but when I buy 5 things, it rarely amounts to more than $20. Friendly staff

The best grocery store for indian food items. It has a wide variety of food stuff to select from. The staff is courteous. Everything is neatly arranged . They also carry utensils which is a pro but the prices are a bit higher. There is also a mini snack bar which offers various snacks like samosas chats etc.

Great Indian grocery store with so many foods I’ve never heard of. It’s quite large for a specialty supermarket, and it was very clean. The staff were courteous and helpful, asking if there was anything in particular we were looking for. There were many types of spices, snacks, and exotic fruits and vegetables. Check it out!

Took Crystal Rice from Patel last week, and they wear not on sale. I get to see the rice worms in the rice. When I called them they wanted receipt of the day when I purchased and they would like to see the rice bag.Poor customer care and they were not even responding properly.Check your rice when you open and make sure to keep proofs to show which is very weird.

I view Patel Brothers as the same-old Indian grocery store, but with a really convenient location. PB is a chain, with distributors all over the country (and world). For this reason, they sometimes have products that are sitting on shelves for months and months. I definitely agree with people that choose this place over Harris Teeter; after all, the vegetable selection is fresher, more affordable, and WAY more diverse.However, this place gets a 3-star rating because of the overall operation and atmosphere of the store. The workers definitely dont enjoy being there, and Farmers Markets (as well as other Indian grocers) offer better prices for fresh produce. In the end, the Pineville location is what redeems this place, and will likely ensure it being packed on the regular.

Love this place, you can almost all indian things from this store. I usually visit on a Saturday and the vegetables are so fresh. I like the fact that the store is huge and spacious. They have a fresh chapati counter. Not a fan of thick chapatis, but they are a good substitute to a frozen one. Their dry snacks counter is also pretty good.

Very disrespectful staff and arrogant .. Their staff thinks that professional peoples who comes to shop Grocery will steal their chilly and ginger. We have just settled in abroad to steal their veggies.Cheap people and cheap mentally. Observed always their register staff always argues with customers.

The place is good and the employees are helpful to find the required things. But dont know still something is missing to give five stars. Maybe because of the over expectations on the store from my side. Have to visit the store again without expectations to get satisfied 100%.

They have good variety of items... As well as they serve indian chats and few snack items which are really good.We took bhel puri chat, dahi puri chat, samosa chat with dahi, vadapav, kathi roll(didnt like much), masala pav, dhokala, kachori chat,samosa pav. Everything thing was good taste. Pav was not top notch but was fine.

Review №47

I go to Patel (next to Value City) regularly for veggies because theyre closer to my place. But this time, 3 days after my groceries, I go back to exchange a piece of rotten yucca root that I bought from them. I told them that I am not returning it, but I just need to exchange it. They would not replace it even presenting with the receipt. I was expecting an apology from selling a rotten vegetable, but shocked from the attitude they showed to me.My concern is they dont have a good customer service. Cashiers also slam your veggies in the bag while talking in their language to their fellow workers.I shop to them because they are closer to my place, but now I would rather drive farther for my asian grocery. Patel lost my business for the worth of $1.99.I would give them a zero star for my experience, but unfortunately 1 star is the lowest.

Like shopping there because I get the best veggies etc but seem to be racially biased at times... well most of the time... I am a black man from Trinidad with many Indian roots but looked at like we were in the wrong place... Do Better!!!!

Review №51

This is a good place to get grocery items mostly used by Indian household. Being a big space, they are able to lay out the items in easily accessible manner.Just be aware when you buy items made of milk products specially sweets. We had experience once when the sweets we purchased had fungus on it. Luckily we noticed it before opening the plastic seal. When we went to return, it was happily replaced. It would be better if the store could keep an eye on their milk products and save travel time for their customers if possible.In this time of Covid, they have provided hand gloves before entering the store and this is very good gesture. They possibly also need to keep a control on how many people are allowed to enter inside the store based on their calculated capacity and have directions on the floor like other stores to help maintain social distancing.

Just saw a staff member cleaning the fruit stands with windex sparing the fruits along with it. (Apples on the side in picture) I wish there was a way to post a video but please make sure you guys wash your fruits well. So no one gets sick or don’t buy them here.This was the area he was doing it at.

Everything good except problem with bags. At counter they ask for box and if we dont accept that. They will start pushing all the stuff in bags and I had been experiencing of bags getting busted and loss of my grocery. If management can consider of bag policy like Walmart does, that will be great.

Ive reviewed Patel Bros. before. Nothing new to add. If youre looking for Indian foods, spices, or whatever, and you cant find it for less elsewhere, this would be the place to go. Prices arent necessarily cheaper and a lot of what they have can be obtained elsewhere. But if this is your preference, you should do quite well.

This is one of the only spot which has everything we need in Charlotte. Customer service is great as well but sometimes they don’t have stock which need to be taken care because people drive 30-40mins to be here.

Review №74

If you like Indian foods and cooking, this is a good place to start. Huge supermarket type store carrying just about everything youd need to throw together an Indian meal or just a few snacks. This one even has a section for American food. I found the prices to be a bit on the high side and buying in bulk didnt seem to provide any savings at all. If your up for a walk through some exotic food offerings, this could be an interesting hour or so, wandering up and down the aisles. For all your Indian cooking needs in one place, this seems like the place.

Fantastic place if you are looking for Indian food products. It is set up like a grocery store and the aisles are wide and so much to look in each aisle. The produce looked fresh and there was plenty. They also had a bakery with freshly made breads and pastries. And they also sold things in bulk. The freezer section has lots of options also. My favorite part was the spices aisle! They had everything and the prices were reasonable too. I will definitely go back and highly recommend.

The giant of Indian stores you can buy everything Indian from. They have extensive selection of fresh vegetables and Indian groceries. Only reason I deduct one star is that they push there own Swad brand more than other options. They can reduce some prices being the largest chain of Indian Grocery stores

Probably the best Indian grocery store within the CLT area. There is a huge selection of stuff. Staff is helpful. Also has a small kitchen and they fresh cook some foods for take out or onsite consumption. Large fresh foods section. Hours are good and better than the average non big box grocery stores.
