Bombay Super Bazaar

I found a gorgeous hot pink, hand beaded with gold and pearl skirt here so beautiful that I repeatedly commented it was plucked straight from my dreams. Lifted out of my unconscious’ fantasy of the ideal modern, feminine, Bollywood inspired outfit.
I was so surprised to discover that this humble, little shop was so full of gems like long sari inspired skirts and actual detailed, colorful saris. There were also bangles, accessories, spices, etc.
Please note come here with time and patience as you’ll need to work with the staff to sift through all the outfits. You’ll also need to tell them what you have in mind as they will have to go through their inventory from boxes. Yes, not ideal but guaranteed you’ll find some fantastic pieces.

Where George goes, Gina follows.
If you are a neat freak this place is not for you.
A mom and daughter run store. They found me an underskirt for a Sari which (a) FIT and (b) was a PERFECT match in color and was only $ 13. They were super happy to help and what Mom lacked in the language barrier, she more than made up for in enthusiasm. Spied some absolutely fabulous one off outfits here, which were obviously handmade for much much less than internet prices I have been seeing. The only thing is, they dig them out for you from storage boxes. Not everything is on display so if you are one of those shy people who don’t like to ask for help, you are SOL. But the ladies don’t get offended or nasty if you say you don’t like or don’t want anything. Some of the clothes they showed me were stained and old, but me being used to thrift store shopping, dug into the boxes myself and came up with what I was looking for on my own. I think they were slightly overawed at the amount of attention they had gotten all of a sudden for their garments as another Unilocaler I know was there at the same time as me — totally random! All thanks to George M’s review. Ah, the power of Unilocal for giving the local store a leg up!
Also spent a small fortune on Indian spices — coriander seeds, garam masala, Cumin Seeds and Fennel, Star Anise.
The store could do with a good spring cleaning, but people I know who cook Indian food go here for their spices and I have been meaning to hit this store up for a long time for that particular purpose.
I wanna know what’s in all the freezers!!!

Not much for the guys (none of you muthereffers better show up with my same gear) but a sizable selection for the ladies and the prices I found to be cheap — between $ 15 all the way up to $ 80 for the really nice stuff
