About Patel Brothers(indiana)

Patel Brothers is a nationwide Indian and South Asian grocery chain, founded in September 1974 in Chicago, Illinois, by Mafat Patel and his brother Tulsi, inspired by how expensive and scarce Indian groceries were at the time, and now operating 51 locations across states including Indiana. Its mission is to bring the best ingredients from South Asia to customers' doorsteps, striving to reconnect people with the familiar flavors of India through a wide variety of authentic regional groceries and spices. In Indiana specifically, there are two Indianapolis-area locations — one at 6302 E 82nd St (Castleton), reachable at (317) 578-2400, and another at 4959 W 38th St, Ste F&G, reachable at (317) 854-5000. Both stores feature Patel's Fresh Kitchen alongside their grocery offerings, including fresh produce, fresh rotis/chapatis, festival items, and household goods, plus prepared foods like jalebi and samosas made in-house. Customers frequently praise the bright, clean, well-organized atmosphere and describe it as unmatched for the quality, choices, and service available for Indian grocery shopping in the state, though some note prices run moderate to higher. Both locations are closed Mondays and generally open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM.
