Delhi Bazaar

It appears Sumeet is gone and with no return date. She is the best threader at the shop, so I will not be returning:(. She had already cut down her hours drastically; for the past 2 weeks, when I call, I am told «we don’t know anything about when she will be back.»

Great and cheap place to get your eyebrows threaded. The room is in the back and one chair– so pretty basic. My eyebrows are done clean and love the natural arch.

Pretty good, small store. They have decent selection of Indian spices and frozen foods. I’ll definitely be going here for all my indian supplies. They also have movies but I don’t know if they have English subtitles or not.

This review is just for eyebrow threading. I was referred here by a friend who’s a regular. I can see why!
Location is convenient and close to home.
Service is quick and no-​frills.
The price, very reasonable (10 $ for eyebrow).
Finally, the end result, clean and painless.
The only downfall is the actual venue. The threading room was basically a small chair in a tiny back room. However, I’ve been to many places that have fancy salon vibes where they just don’t have a good touch and you leave the store with eyebrows blazing! I hadn’t had a threading in a Very long time, so I was worried about my pain tolerance. Luckily, the lady who performed the threading was gentle and quick. All in all, I was satisfied with the service and would come back again.

I get my eyebrows done here all the time. I’ve never bought the food. Staff seems friendly and I love how my eyebrows are. Quick and usually 5 mins or less wait. It was hard to find a place that did threading seeing as most do the wax.
I don’t cook Indian food but it looks like they have a good variety

I often come here for their frozen foods/​meals and occasional Indian snacks. The prices are fair and the selection is vast, but the entire shopping center needs a face lift (which DB is not to blame). I also like to get their fresh samosas, which are affordable and delicious. Parking is sometimes an issue because many people go to Fitness First a few stores down.
The place also has eyebrow threading for cheap and Indian clothes for average prices in case you need something quickly for an event. They also have a stock of Bollywood films and CDs.

I have now visited this store two more times and still have a very good impression. Delhi Bazaar has ingredients that I cannot find elsewhere. Perhaps more important: the staff members tried to answer my questions about how various spices, seeds, and dried fruits are used.
Later on I realized that my questions were so basic as to make no sense. It was like asking, «If I buy milk, what should put it in?» So I have to praise the two staff members for taking me seriously and offering reasonable, courteous answers.
A tip: If you want a particular spice that is new to you, go online and look up any alternate names. I was looking for «nigella seed,» which is also called kalonji, black seed, etc. I printed a small photo of the seeds and a list of variant names, and found them at Delhi Bazaar.
For what it’s worth, my three Indian recipes were yummy, and our family has asked me to keep making them. I also made a several batches of homemade mustard with seeds from Delhi Bazaar. Large bags of mustard seed make this a cost-​effective and fun thing to try.

FIRST IMPRESSION. Two of us recently visited this store in search of ingredients for Indian food. I’ve eaten a lot of Indian cuisine but have only tried to cook it once or twice – so I’m a novice at seeking out ingredients.
The shop is brightly lit and nicely stocked with a variety of spices and other ingredients, as well as packaged foods and snacks for adults and children. Delhi Bazaar also sells kitchen items, movies, and some clothing.
I wanted jaggery (unrefined sugar), and Delhi Bazaar offered it in a half-​dozen different forms, mainly small, medium, and large loaves that must be ground or grated; they also had it in the grated form. The two employees offered to help, and answered my questions about jaggery and tamarind.
Spices are sold in generous quantities – so much bigger than those little jars and cans sold at the supermarket.
I plan to return to Delhi Bazaar as I learn more about preparing Indian food.

I can say that the threading is great. However, it is one of the dirtiest places I have visited. Each aisle has roach traps and there is often evidence of mice (I actually saw a mouse) and traps are very out and visible. I would not do any type of grocery purchases here, but if you can get your eyebrows done in the midst of mice and roach traps then it’s cool because they do a good job.

I would give this place 0 stars, but it does a great job threading eyebrows, therefore, I give it a 2. This place is nasty. The place has roach traps on the shelves with the grocery products and there are rats sitting on rat traps. My friend brought the rats to the attention of the staff. The staff replied, «what is the problem, they are on the traps». Well, that is disgusting. The traps need to be disposed of so that the rats are not staring customers in their face while trying to get their eyebrows done.

2 stars because the experience was not painful at ALL. She has sturdy hands.
Other then that my eyebrows sucked. Of you don’t have damn near perfect eyebrows and haven’t been threading your whole life you will like it. If not. Eh :/​go elsewhere. Luckily I don’t live in alexandria anymore so I don’t have that problem anymore.

Unfortunately, Bindu is no longer at this location, so I knocked it down to two stars. I really miss her!!! They have other people that do eyebrows but not nearly as good as Bindu.
This is a little Pakistani/​Indian store that has a small room in the back for eyebrow threading. Most of the threaders are nothing special, but the person you want to ask for is Bindu. She’s kind, patient and she’s more like an Eyebrow Consultant, she gives you tips on how to make your brows look better…“let it grow here, so you have more of an arch.” Stuff like that. $ 10 plus a tip. Keep in mind she’s so good that sometimes the wait is 10 – 15 minutes.

I like that fact that this place is close to my house so that I can just run in and get my eyebrows done. Anytime I see another lady in the parking lot walking towards Delhi Bazaar, I always start speed walking so that I can get there first! I know why she’s going there, and I don’t want to wait :-)
The threading area is in the back of the store through isles of curry and other Indian goods. Nothing fancy. But that’s okay because they always shape my brows real good, and it only costs me $ 10. I am a happy customer.

This review is specifically for the eye brow threading offered on site at this grocery store. The job of the technician was outstanding and deserves 5 stars and the pricing of $ 10 (plus tip) was very reasonable. The technician took time with me and was extremely detailed and made sure the job was done perfectly. I gave ⁴⁄₅ stars total because of the fact that it is just a chair located in the back of a grocery store where the technician performs the threading. I do highly recommend if you don’t care about the seriousl strong spices smell and want perfect eye brows!

I’ve been looking for a good place to get my eyebrows threaded; most places thread them too thin and start cutting without even telling me. The lady here was great, $ 10 for an excellent job. She also told me about some missing eyebrow that I had on the edge that I should just let it grow our, that it’d make them look thicker. Nobody else told me that. She’s great.

$ 10 Eyebrow threading! It’s nothing glamorous but if you are looking for a nice lady who knows what she is doing in the no-​frills way, I suggest checking it out. When I walked in there were 2 ladies in front of me, but I was in the seat within about 8 minutes. It is a small Indian grocery store and towards the back there is a small room set up salon-​style for threading. She asked me what I liked and she was very fast. I love going to these little «Auntie» places instead of hair salons in the mall because they know what they are doing.

Eyebrow threading and a samosa! Perfect combination!

Great place; they have a wide selection of the prepackaged meals, huge selection of spices, rice, and frozen food, and a huge variety of curry mixes/​pastes for those of us who can’t/won’t mix our own. The prices are great too.

Sooooo happpy. I found my hidden secret. They do threading. Here for a nice price of 8 dollars which to me is not much with tip 11 bucks can’t go wrong. Theb place is open but the back room is a little shoddy but really who cares there’s no line or waiting at all the lady is off the hook and professional she’s very nice and experienced she did an excellent job and now I can come here all the time for my brows. Yessssssssss.

This is one of the few Indian grocery stores that I like to visit in the area even though this is a bit of a drive for me. Store is generally cleaner than its peers and staff is halfway friendly!
Selection of items is not huge but I am able to get all the basic stuff.

I think this is the best Indian store in the area. Not only is it much bigger than most, it has a great selection with ample room between the isles for two people to pass by and is well lit and airy. Things are arranged in an orderly manner and the place is clean
The people here are very very helpful. They guide you with your purchase and if they do not stock an item try to get it for you.
They carry a good selection of Indian DVDs too.
