Patel Brothers

Chicago

Any possible Indian spice or herb that you could possibly imagine is stocked by this store. It is awesome! There are some fresh veggies and herbs...but this place is better for it's packaged/dry items. Good selection of spices, sweets, packaged goods, and anything Indian you could imagine. Patel Brothers is the place to go for any Indian sauces, pastes, and spices. It's set up sort of (mini) retail-warehouse style and it can be a little hard to navigate when there are a lot of people there. Visit Site
