I have stopped visiting the ISS store at Los feliz -
1) Prices of most of the groceries is more compared to prices in Artesia
2) Most of the items are expired.Always see the expired date..Many times the expired date is removed
3)Food in restaurant is not fresh…Never take roti or chapati..it is almost week old..
4) If you ask shop owner that why the grocery is expired then they will just tell you that if you want it take it else go..

I wish food authority or any organization in US should close this store

I come here out of sheer necessity.
1. The prices of the groceries are way more than that of any other Indian store. Ex: Red Label tea was 3.99$ in Artesia, and 5.99$ here.
2. The food itself is not of a good quality. It is cold, and I often wonder if it is stale. Most often, I feel nauseous after eating here. :(

I wish they could spruce it up.

And I disagree with all the negative comments. The food is tasty, the prices are low low. And the people are friendly!

It’s not in Glendale; It’s in Los Feliz.
The address you have is correct.

I’ll bet you meant the women at the counter in the Venice Blvd location. I haven’t gotten a smile out of her in 4 years of going there. In fact, once I was there with a friend getting takeout for 3 and she actaully sighed and was very annoyed that we were ordering so many items. Go figure, she has got to be related to the owner!
However, my mom was visiting me, and we were ordering and she noticed my mother’s necklace had a certain indian saint on it (we are indian) and suddenly, she was all smiles and animated! It was something to see!
That being said the food is really excellent, and perfectly spiced (imho), tastes just like homecooking. Only thing is that it is a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to the counter items, its whatever is there. 2 hints: They make paneer (cheese cube) items on the weekends. And the Delhi Paneer is AMAZING! My husband fell in love with it when we got it once but we have never seen it there again.

Err, I guess that should read: If you add fuel costs required to drive to Artesia it might be less cost effective. The cost of discomfort caused by gas generated by your meal is less quantifable.

Thanks for the comments!

Was it very crowded when you were there?

I have had unfriendly service in the past but it seemed they had gotten it together. I may have been there during a quiet spell. If you add the cost of gas to your meal Artesia might not be such a thrifty option.

I totally agree.The prices for the spices seems to be high compared to the other indian stores.The restaurant is not at all customer friendly.The cashier/order desk is very rude.I had some doubht in ordering and she was not happy to explain

The store is spacious and carry lots of varieteis.
But the restaurant is not at all great.Had masala dosa and veggie meal-not at all good.The lady who takes the menu had an Attitude.I had a doubht whether she thought i am begging for food.I will never eat there nor will entertain others to go there.
You can find good restuarants both veg and non veg in Pioneer Blvd,Artesia
