Super Bazaar

Lots of variety and lots of yummy spices!

Wonderful place to visit. Definitely plan in stopping by again. The homemade samosa is very very good. :)

This is a great place to pick up your favorite ingredients for Indian dishes. You’ll see a wide variety of things you’ve never seen before. If you’re cooking an Indian meal, come here first instead of Wegmans if you’re in the Amherst area.
Prices are very competitive… for common things like rice and spices. Cheeeeap spices.
Just make sure you check the expiration dates on the items. I don’t think a place like this would have good item rotation.

Relatively organized and alright stocked variety of Indian groceries. Some of the produce is inexpensive, but the variety is a bit lacking.

This place is simply wonderful. As a person who loves to cook and loves to try cooking new kinds of food this place is the mecca of spices and all things middle east. They have crazy cheap produce and sometimes you can stumble upon a new kinds of packaged goods.
I’ve been going here for quite some time and the more you go the more the owners recognize you and help you! Sometimes they’ll even show you the «good produce» haha. The owners are funny and are very helpful if you’re new to this kind of store. I enjoy the service and the way they answer your questions
** My absolute favorite part about this store are the Potato Samosas you can get for $ 1 each. They are simply delicious! Quite often I find myself turning into this almost forgotten plaza just to pick up a few of these delicious treats. They also come with two sauces one spicy and one sweet which add to the deliciousness.

I don’t come here often, but this place has not failed to impress me every time. Sure, it feels a little disorganized, but in practice everything is easy to find. Huge bags of rice, pre-​made curries and sauces, frozen Indian dinners (super competitively priced) and even fresh tomatoes (at great prices: ie 99c/​lb).
Located in Amherst, a few miles away from UB’s North Campus it’s a convenient location for those suburban sprawler’s or college kids who live close to UB. I come here to buy curry paste for when I’m feeling lazy of making my own and it’s pretty good, costs $ 3 and lasts me for up to 6 months. Yum :).
If you cook a lot of Indian and don’t want to pay Wegman’s prices for spices, come to the Super Bazaar :)!

Super Bazaar is a cool treasure trove of Indian imports in the heart of the Northtown ‘burbs.
It’s a bit chaotic in there, but the owners are friendly and nice.
Probably the most appealing offerings inside are the freshly-​made naan and samosas. The latter are sold fresh and warm out of a tinfoil container for buck apiece, and come with the standard sweet sauce. Paired with some fun drinks, this would make a nice, cheap alternative to fast food on a day of feverish Niagara Falls Boulevard shopping.
There are also like five different kinds of flavored banana chips, from black pepper to mango-​curry. And all kinds of grains and nuts in bulk, and enough strange fruits and vegetables to make a botanist blush.
And that’s without mentioning the huge refrigerated section stuffed with pre-​made roti and Indian convenience meals, which would take me a lifetime to understand, much less explore. But I’d like to start somewhere, so hey, Indian food gurus, if you’re reading this — please send me your suggestions!

I lived in Buffalo for about 3 years while going to school. I miss Nothing about Buffalo, not the people, not the cheap livin’, definitely not the weather, but I do miss Super Bazaar. For a city the size of Buffalo, Super Bazaar is as good as it gets for an Indian grocery store.
Good: Curry leaves (the best and freshest I have ever tasted), fresh samosas and other assorted pakoras, excellent selection of dried snacks, rice, dals, frozen foods. They have some of the most interesting roti/​chapatis, naans and pitas I’ve ever seen. They even have a decent selection of Indian beauty products, housewares and pooja items.
Bad: the fresh produce is really variable, depends on the day you go or the day they get their stuff. That said, the curry pata were always fresh. The best produce is found across the street at the Chinese grocery store, but they are not as clean Super Bazaar. They don’t have a great inventory management system, but the twin managers are always really helpful.

Nice Indian grocery store with some interesting foods. They have lots of frozen Indian dishes, desserts, breads, etc. I definitely will be buying naan and pita from here in the future, as they have many different varieties.
I was disappointed by their spice selection. It is understandably mostly spices used in Indian cooking, but I was accustomed to Indian stores having an entire spice market with bin after bin of affordable spices. They do have a good to decent selection of rice, grains, and beans. Most of their beans I could also find at Wegman’s or Tops International, but they are the only place that seems to carry couscous in bulk.
In short, an interesting and great place to explore, but not as useful as I thought it would be.

Granted there aren’t many choices when it comes to Desi groceries in the Buffalo area, but Super Bazaar could hold its own just among similarly-​sized groceries about anywhere in the US.
I’ve only ever seen about 3 people working there, so I think Super Bazaar is probably a family-​owned and run business. The 3 staffers are generally pretty helpful and are happy to explain what something is. This is necessary sometimes because not all of the wide variety of produce and herbs are labeled. Super Bazaar also has a wide selection of rice and grains. Sure, you could also get Basmati rice at Wegmans, but it would cost a lot more.
On weekends, Super Bazaar sells what might be the best samosas I have ever eaten. I’m not sure how authentic they are, but they have all the positive characteristics of good samosas and none of the bad characteristics of the lousy ones. The dough is tender, flaky and rich without being oily, like a perfect pie crust. This leads me to believe that it might be baked instead of fried. The potato filling is fluffy but not dry and well seasoned but not salty. Rounding out the experience are little containers of sweet-​sour tamarind and spicy green chile sauces. To top it off, they’re inexpensive! Like $ 1 or $ 1.50 a piece. Pick up a few for your next weekend get-​together!
