So happy there’s an Indian grocery store to serve the desert community. I just moved here and was able to find all the spices, daals, snacks. They also have a great variety of fresh produce and fresh sweets.

I have been to countless Indian spice shops and grocery stores in San Francisco, Fremont, Berkeley in the Bay Area and in Denver and Los Angeles. Spice Rack is in its own class.I have never seen such a carefully curated collection of all kinds of Indian goods. As a former restaurant owner and distributor or Indian foods to speciality stores, and a caterer, I am used to the ubiquitous overpoweringly crowded and spice flavoured shops that have been around for a while. Mostly open for decades. New ones in the Bay Area too end up the same way. They remind me of the grocery stores I go to in Delhi and Bombay. Aesthetics are not the highest priority. Cramming products for sale is definitely on top of the agenda. And that is how a successful business owner can make a profit and survive.However Spice Rack is different. Feels like a state of the art store. Wide aisles. Neatly packaged products both organic and commercial are arranged in an organized way so it is easy to pick up Dal (lentils), rice, flour and whole and ground spices. They have a fairly well stocked refrigerator with a good variety of frozen goods.In the front they have a collection of Indian sweets that are made by a well known professional Mithai maker (expert in sweets) from Los Angeles.I was in a bit of a hurry but still lingered in the aisles looking for my favourite achaar (pickle) and was not disappointed when I asked for fresh curry leaves and yes, they had some!! Yay!Sukhi and Jyoti are the owners and operators of this store that is the first of its kind in the Palm Springs area. I was resigned to having to drive to Redlands or Los Angeles to get my Indian supplies for the foreseeable future but finally I dont need to anymore.The quality, top brands and affordable prices make Spice Rack a unique and welcome addition to the Palm Springs, Cathedral City area. It is conveniently located across from Target on Hwy 111.I will be going there often and wish them all the luck and good fortune for being pioneers because they have taken on being the first one in this line of retail business. Such effort requires an entrepreneur mentality and vision. Combine these qualities with a desire to procure the highest quality items in a clean, modern and well planned store with plenty of room to grow and viola! you have Spice Rack.Congratulations Jyoti and Sukhi!! May Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi bring you great success.
