I am south asian and will be moving to Warsaw in a few months, and I wanted to know if there are any Indian grocery stores in warsaw. Would appreciate any tips
Then I'd rather not be bestowed with your ignorance either GZ. You could have just refrained from making an entry if you had nothing to say, but I suppose that's your way of seeking the attention you never get anywhere else.
Great Indian shop near the corner of Rozana and Kazimierowska in Warsaw. The Indian restaurant by the Barbican also has/had a store but I ain't been to the old town for ages so don't even know if it still there. plus lots of Asian food stores dotted around and a couple of superb Arab food stores. Also a Polish chain called 'Kuchnia Swiata' which imports from all over the world. I love cooking and source these places out
Kuchnia Swiata has some stuff but a far better choice is Namaste at Nowogrodzka 15. As well as a tiny restaurant (the best Indian food in Warsaw) they have a good selection of Indian essentials.
namasteindia.pl (but they have far more in stock than on the website).
Oh my God Harry,Mashu,Fin T I can't thank you enough! This looks perfect, exactly what I was looking for! Once I come to WAW, I'll have you guys over for dinner and cook a scrumpious meal!!!

Yep Man! Sounds good, how about starting a dining evening? Something like once a month, food from different countries? Just a thought.
This "Namaste India" mentioned by Harry is really gud. I have bee to a couple of Indian restaurant (maharaja, indian curry) here in warshaw but this namaste India has the most delicious Indian food (even when compared to restaurants back in India).
It is a tiny little restaurant probably more of a "take away". Since december I am going there atleast once a week, Rest of the days I am relying on my own cooking skills :).
there is an online shop called little india I think that they have a store and restaurant in warsaw also. I will be starting an online shop selling goods and foods from india out of Jelenia Gora in a few months
This is for EVERYONE. Since one of the things I do, is event planning, (quite big in the USand UK) I was anyway thinking of setting up a few things and sending out invites. I'll be in WAW by the end of next month and would love some input from members here...We could definitely have a dinning evening like FIN suggested, and to make things interesting we could do something monthly with different themes according to people's interests/liking. Not sure what kind of response we may get, but will definitely try and set something up...
Thanks everyone, for your suggestions on the stores. Its great to see such wonderful people out there, can't wait to come :)
Harry you really seem to have good info about Indian store and Indian restaurants here in Warshaw :). Are you polish? (Just out of curiousty :).
Not Polish, just been here a long time and know the city very well (I used to write ten reviews a month about restaurants and bars for a magazine here and my guidebook to Warsaw is being published by Thomas Cook Publishing next month).
Great. I am employed with a company whose travel arrangements are contracted to Thomas cook (New Delhi). May be next time I can request them for one of your guidebook :).
Ksanjay, bless ur nation for producing such tasty food!! I like every type of curry from the mild ones to the spicy ones. Dhansak, Rogan Josh, Balti, Pasanda, Korma, Madras, Ceylon and, well, Vindaloo although it kills me. I'd love to eat pappadums again and nan bread. HEAVENLY!!
Namaste on Nowogrodzka, which Harry mentions, is a good shop and the food is delicious. The only problem with it is that it's rather small with space only for 6 people to sit and eat. Every time I've been there, the shop has been full - which is of course a good sign.
There's also a reasonably big Indian food shop which Warsaw's Indian expat community use, in Raszyn, about 3 miles from the centre of Warsaw. The Indian Embassy and Indian Cultural Association should have details about it, but it isn't hard to find - just off the main road by the crossroads before the church and manor house. Polna Market, on Polna Street also has some stalls selling Indian products, but is quite expensive.
If you're frm India, and coming to Poland, it's worth visiting Raszyn, which has a small Indian community and various shops and restaurants.
