Patel Brothers

Cool Indian grocery store in a big shopping plaza on Fowler. It’s not very big inside, but it has quite the selection (better than the ethnic aisle at Publix, that’s for sure!). If you’re like me and have no clue what you’re doing when you go into unknown food territory– just own it. But realize that no one here is going to reach out to help you out. Wander the aisles a bit, grab something you’ve never tried before.
A good spot to start would be their «ready-​made’ section, where they have packets of premixed spices and all you have to do is add the meat and produce. This is a great place to go to get spices in massive quantities! Turmeric? No problem! You can grab a 5 lb bag if it, if you so desire. FYI: This is also a great place to go to get sesame seeds. You can to to Publix and get a small 3 oz. container for $ 2, or you can come here and get a large bag for the same price. Their produce section is small, but they make up for it with their supply of canned goods.
Good place to come and mix up your cooking routine! Just make sure to check dates on things; I didn’t until I got home and found out that one of my seasoning packets will expire soon.

Lots of interesting items can be found in this grocery store. The store is very clean. They have a lot of nice fresh produce, a number of items I couldn’t identify but I love to learn about things that are new to me. They have tons of spices and spice mixes, prepackaged heat and serve sauces for Indian dishes and a huge frozen food section. There had to be over twenty different kinds of naan bread alone. Even though the prIces on some of the frozen food did seen excessive there were reasonably priced items as well.
Overall there is a great selection at the Patel bros. grocery and I will be back.
The only minor gripe I had was it is a little cramped especially when I go to a place like this and want to look at as much stuff as I can and it is too tight for other shoppers to easily get around us and our shopping cart.

Patel Brothers is a first rate Indian grocery market with an impressive selection of produce, instant meals, frozen foods, snacks, breads, decorations, etc. Quite clean, good service, reasonable prices.
If you aren’t that familiar with preparing Indian foods the MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) style boxed pouches of various dishes are a good way to start. Just make rice, boil or microwave the pouches per the direction, and pour over top. There are also various salty snacks sold by the pound. And there are lots of frozen foods. Naan is easy to heat up in a toaster oven. You can build from there and ease into the spcies, exotic ingredients, and from scratch preparations. :) Fellow customers are also usually helpful and willing to make suggestions.

One of the cleanest Indian stores that I’ve visited. They have EVERYTHING that a Desi in the states may need!

Staff could try to be a little more friendlier. Came with a friend who was not «properly dressed» as she was showing some cleavage. The older lady at the checkout counter gave my friend the dirtiest look. Learn to treat customers with respect regardless of their attire or ethnic background. Leave your judgements at home or better yet back home!
Your staff did a good job confirming «Indians are rude» stereotype. I was HIGHLY offended!
P. S.- I am Indian!

I love this place!
I love ethnic groceries in general, but this place is the best of the best. It’s clean, it’s well stocked, and the prices are great. There’s tons of produce (so much that I don’t even know what some of it is), and everything is beautiful and fresh. As previous reviewers have mentioned, the spices are so cheap and plentiful. Why spend $ 6+ on, like, 5 cinnamon sticks at Publix when you can have a whole bag for the same or less? They also have various prepared foods (dried as well as frozen) from the Indian subcontinent. I admit, I don’t know what a lot of the stuff is, but everything I’ve tried has been good.
Also, Jai Ho Pure Veg is two doors down, and it’s Ah-​may-​zing. You can check out my review. I love that place.

Wow, what a place. This place was the first Indian market I have ever been to and I was taken by all that is there. They have a nice variety of different fruits and vegetables that east Asians like myself can use. They have bins of snack items that you buy in bulk. I like the many different things to try. Spices here are very inexpensive. Why waste your money at Publix when you can get it here and know it hasn’t been sitting on the shelves for a long time.

This place has a great selection of Indian products for very reasonable prices. Their frozen section is fun to check out and I usually get some frozen naan to take home along with some staple items. Be warned though, it is always somewhere between crowded and jam packed.

The best place in Tampa for any of your Indian grocery needs. They have practically anything you could want!

We frequent this store for its huge selection of Indian products and produce. The main downside is that it is pretty cramped. If you are looking for Indian groceries, look no further.

Thank god Patel bros opened in Tampa. Best selection of indian & middle eastern groceries. Very good produce section. Watch out for the awesome selection of frozen naan.

I’ve been meaning to go check this place out a long time and I am thrilled to find so many treasures in this well-​stocked Indian grocery store. It has plenty of fresh produce, spices, snacks, frozen foods, and kitchenware. The prices are very reasonable and you can buy spices in bulk (so much cheaper than in any grocery store).
Like the previous reviewer said, the aisles are very small so if you go during the late afternoon on a weekend (like I did) be prepared to be stuck in grocery car traffic.
It’s right across the street from the Asian Grocery Store MD Oriental so I am looking forward to going to both places on my monthly re-​stock of my kitchen!
Check out the pictures I uploaded too (Everyone was staring at me but I didn’t care)

Great place for Indian Groceries. There is a large variety of items and fresh vegetables. The aisles are very narrow so it is better if you arrive early and beat the crowds. The store opens at 10am and I would arrive around that time. As with many Indian grocery stores make sure to check the expiration date on the prepackaged items as they could be expired or close to expiration.
