Krishna Indian Grocery

this place is just okay for Indian groceries, not a lot of variety, ordered a curry from them while I was there but it was tasteless

Small, but well stocked Indian grocery. There are not a lot of places in this area that you can get aged basmati rice, crimson dahl, moon dahl and mint chutney, but things like that are always in stock here. The take-​out is sort of hit and miss, but I can definitely recommend the fried samosas and soups. The owner is also very helpful about explaining products and giving cooking tips. My only complaint is the lighting — it’s dark and sometimes hard to see what is on the lower shelves. I have even used the little flashlight on my keychain to see sometimes. Otherwise, I’m a fan.

No Good, owner just tries to fool the graduate students

This is a great Indian grocery — packed with tons of Indian spices, goodies, clothes and very friendly staff.

A small but very nice and very affordable Indian grocery store. The store is a little cramped and dimly lit but contains a nice selection of spices, microwavable Indian meals and other supplies. The prepared meals are quite good though their selection is very limited which isn’t terribly surprising since it is primarily a grocery store.

I could plead the case for reincarnation citing Krishna. Half a lifetime ago, when I lived within walking distance of the building, it was a bar I would visit with my local college buddies. These days, when I go, I always first notice how much smaller it appears on the inside, followed by my amazement at just how much they have available to buy here.
The first thing to notice on the left as you enter is the small table of produce, sometimes common items, sometimes quite uncommon items, always useful for authentic home cooking. I really enjoy walking around checking out all the spices, flours, sauces, teas, special ingredients and the options in the frozen food case.
Their prices are very reasonable and the people who work there are really friendly.

My wife, mother, and I got take out a few times and it was excellent. So, we thought it would be a great location to order a 20 plus person catering menu from and it was. We got a selection of food that even converted the skeptics. The owners were flexible and gracious. A Poughkeepsie gem!

Great Indian grocery store with a nice selection and very friendly owners.
I’ve tried complete dinners here, but I didn’t like them very much, mainly because of the less than good quality meat, watery sauce and little surpsies of bone in my food. I don’t mind a big bone because you can spot it — but little bone pieces that you break a tooth on — not so much.
They have chaat dishes like pakora and samosas, and though not bad, you really take a gamble because they may be made very far ahead and sit out for a long time under lights to keep warm, which makes them a bit soggy. I prefer the samosas at Tanjore — far superior.
Instead I go for their masala dosas, which they only make on Monday and Friday nights. They are not only delicious and fresh — they are under $ 5! We each order one with a mango lassi and we have a tasty, filling Indian meal for about $ 10. You can’t go wrong!
Keep in mind, there is no place to dine in — it’s only take-​out.

I must have driven by this market a thousand times and for some reason I did not go in. Maybe it just came up so quickly I did not have time to react, as I love me an Indian market, but now that I have been there through a deliberate effort, it will be a regular stop for me.
Located in a modest free standing house like structure, it goodies are plentiful and varied given the limited space. From shelf stable items to items cooked on premise to fresh veggies and beauty products and items of worship, Krishna offers its patrons a wonderful shopping experience. For example, recently I needed curry leaves in both their forms-​dried and fresh– and this is a very random thing to find anywhere except perhaps at an Indian market. When I asked for them they with great enthusiasm went to the back, that special place of hidden goodies, and brought out two perfect little bags of the most fragrant leaves. They must have a garden back there! ;))) It made all the difference in my Mulligatawny.
While I was waiting I could not help but notice their veggie samosas– big, golden and hot. I was famished after a day of holiday shopping and just knew that one would be the perfect snack to tie me over. It was really off the charts and far superior to most if not all I have had in local restaurants. It was fresh, full of flavor, had a nice texture, had just the right amount of spiciness and was not riddled with oil. I only wish I had thought to bring one home for The L. I can only imagine that their dosas, offered on Mondays and Fridays, are as good and I simply must go back for a tastie.
Krishna is a great resource for Hudson Valley shoppers looking for that authentic ingredient to push their cooking to the next level. And with such enthusiastic friendly service and great selection there is no need to look any further than the little white house with a big smile and tasty treats!
And one for all those who celebrate Christmas. One of my faves.

Great place, they have great and inexpensive masala dosa. If you’re looking for aged basmati rice, this is the place to find it. And the folks who own the place are very nice people!

This is a surprisingly versatile Indian grocery hidden in the middle of the generic suburban sprawl of Route 9 in Poughkeepsie. They have a large selection of canned, packaged and frozen foods at very good prices.
I’ve had the takeout food several times and thought it was great. I’ve read a few complaints about bones in the chicken, but I always order vegetarian and have never been disappointed. Considering the vegetarian platter is $ 3.50 and quite tasty, and you can get additional items such as a portion of pakora for a few dollars extra, I’ve always been very satisfied.
They have some very reasonable Indian frozen foods for $ 2.99 that would cost twice as much in a health food store. They even have some beauty products and herbal medicine supplements! Great store.

After driving past this place several times I had to try the takeout. The price sounded right and the place looked really authentic, almost claustrophobic inside. The man behind the counter was telling me that I was getting the same food as I would at an indian restaurant for a quarter of the cost. Unfortunately it tasted like it was ¼th the cost. I had the chicken curry platter and like others have said there were bones in the chicken and it was very fatty. The sauce was also mediocre, it didn’t have that kick. I won’t be going back.

Love this place! Really nice people behind the counter and cheap prices for frozen prepared meals and the on-​site take out. Samosas are a must!
It is true that there’s always a bone somewhere in the chicken curry. But at $ 4.50, it’s still the best deal in town. I don’t live local, but I make the drive over when in the mood.

I love this indian grocery! very good selection of spice, rice, lentils and frozen food. I buy my curry leaves here as well as some produce.
Run by a nice and helpful couple.
Takeout that I have tried has been excellent (eggplant curry and samosas). Either way from what I have tried, this is the best prepared Indian food in the area. To get solid indian in a restaurant, you MUST leave the Poughkeepsie-​Fishkill-​New Paltz areas.

This is a fully stocked Indian/​South Asian grocery store, but they also have a line of clothing, puja supplies, DVD rentals, some fresh vegetables, and hot food to go. There is an extensive supply of chutneys and sauces availbe here; more then I’ve ever seen anywhere else! If you’re looking for that Bombay Sandwich sauce, or ready made gravy for fish, veg, fowl, or meat curry, it’s here.
The prepared food is pretty good, with a home made taste, and the portions are big for the low price. I usually get the chicken curry platter which includes rice, vegetables, and a home made chapati (flat bread). I have spent years in India and this food reminds me of being there. It’s clean, tasty and very reasonably priced. The owners are a very sweet couple from India; they are cheerful and helpful toward their customers.

I love the takeout food here. I used to get the meat platter but have since switched to the vegetable one. For $ 3.50 you get a full meal that changes from day to day. Just try to name any other store in Poughkeepsie where you can get real food, ready to go, for that price. It’s not the best Indian food in the area (Tanjore takes that crown) but it’s quite good, particularly for lunch.
The grocery is good too, particularly the prices for spices. Also, the couple who run the store are very friendly and helpful.

2 stars for the takeout food, 4 stars for the grocery. Average: 3 stars.
I’ve had Indian takeout here twice. I’ve usually gotten the meat platter. Every time I mix sauces with rice, the dish ends up tasting watery. I’m not sure why.
When I eat Krishna’s chicken curry, I have to be careful not to break my teeth on the bones. I remember having bone-​in chicken curry at other restaurants, but there just seems to be more bone than meat at Krishna.
The one thing I do like is the mango lassi.
I have no complaints about the grocery. I’ll come back for aged basmati rice before I get takeout here again.
