Onkar Foods & Spices

I love this place! They have a great selection of spices, sauces, and other ingredients for Indian cuisine. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. The store is clean and well-organized, and they always have fresh products. I highly recommend Onkar Foods & Spices Inc for anyone who loves cooking or eating Indian food. They have everything you need to make delicious dishes at home.

It feels like an authentic Indian store, and we can find almost every item that we used to use in India.

I usually buy a dozen samosas at a time and two times, it was both missing a samosa. Happened twice in two seperate purchases already.

Feel like home and it's a nostalgic feeling. I felt like I am in India. Please are so nice and the prices are affordable. I went to get Diwali sweets. Its awesome

Not sure about the groceries but they have the best samosas in Kitchener. Great pricing too, hope that does not change.

Delicious chana chat and samosa. Good for kitchen not for grocery as not much variety is available.

Very bad attitude of the staff especially at food counter. The lady who usually takes order makes faces at the customer. They talk to each other and laugh looking at the customer. They don’t listen to order properly. They take more than an hour for small order like one paratha. All the items the store sells are overpriced (you can compare with other similar stores in the area).

I donot recommend.

I didn't like the food. $1 for a samosa and if you need chutney, it's extra you pay. Reception of the staff is not so welcome

Always loved the TeaMonkey collection of Teas they have at their store. My parents are a fan of Immune Tea. It’s available towards the right side when you enter the store

Best samosas in Kitchener! Other dishes such as papri chaat, halva puri, are great. But saag is not good. Items in fridge such as yoghurt are not always fresh. Lots of desi items available. Carts are always busy. Long lineup for food when busy.

I can't say it's a proper 5 star rating because my experience here has been limited to a small portion of what the place has to offer as a whole but in as far as my limited dealings go it's definitely 5 stars.
Personally I go for the Samosas. Nicely made, great flavour, proper fresh, and good price. Generally I don't like big samosas because I find the shell tends to be too thick and the ratio of dough to filling is off. Here though they do them right. They're big, the shell is nice and not too thick, and they're stuffed nicely. And if you have a few extra put em in the fridge because even a couple days later they're still nice and good.
Definitely my go-to place for Samosas!

NEVER PICK UPS CALLS

AND
NEEDS NEW STAFF
EVERYONE IS IN EGO LIKE OWNER.
Better staff seen at onkar at other branches

You don't need to read all reviews.the kitchen staff and owner is too rude.they don't respect customer cuase.sales will be always high in indian stores

1. Sweet was stale and she gives by hand not wearing gloves
2. Lady in the kitchen, is showing rude face to me. She gave order to other lady before me who skipped the line
3.i order 2 aloo paratha and she asked me to wait for 30 minutes and l got it after 50 min
4.one lady was wearing dupatta and her dupatta was touching food
6. Chhole bhature was sweet, and sweet was stale. Not tasty food
7. When I complained owner, some one else was already complaint about dead spider in pastry

So, if you want spitting food and get disrespected by paying money, this is the place.
I was regular customer, once in a week but
I will never go here

Worst place ever!
No customer service and way of talking and dealing with customer is very bad!
I ordered for pick up and they gave me time 3: 15 and when i reached the lady said your time is 4: 00 and the way she talking is totally low quality!

If you are samosa lover, then go nowhere else. They have freshly baked hot veggie samosa with sauces of your choice.

I usually take sweet cauce but if you can bear, then take green chilli sauce with cilantro and mint.

Nice place to have Indian stuff and Indian food. Samosa is really best in Kitchener. Tried combo meal Tea samosa daal everything was fabulous.

The samosas, pakoras and especially the chutneys are very famous here and fresh and tasty too. However with their increased popularity they have reduced the filling inside the samosas which sucks

Samosa are fresh and tasty, not as spicy as they should be but good for everyone. I tried વેગ Manchurian dry today and was good. Parantha are also good.

If you are going to make an Indian sub continental dishes then one of the best me and my family saw was onkar. Would recommend trying the jalebi here

We told her to put 1 pound of sweets but she amount us the same charges and also not provide us 1 pound. It's very disappointing to charge more as compare to its quantity.

This is an awesome place to get Chana Bathuras, samosas and veggie pakoras.
Quality is always good.
Even specific Indian food/grocery items are also available here

Used to shop for groceries here before OM India opened its door. Now I am happy customer for their kitchen. One of the best Chole Bature & subzi.

This store has everything you will need for Indian cooking including fresh vegetables. Staff is always helpful & polite. They also have the BEST Samosas in tricity and beyond. All my relatives love there Samosas and we always buy them in bulk because who wants less samosas Prices can be better though

This is Indian Groceries store but this place is more popular because of their Samosas, they taste good but one thing is annoying they also charge for chutney. I haven't seen charge for chutney anywhere, you should charge customers extra if they ask you extra chutney but for a single piece also you are charging customers it's really not cool. Your Samosas taste saved you bcz of this, it felt like McDonald's started charging for ketchup with fries and burgers.

**ONLY SAMOSA REVIEW** I've heard from people that their Samosas are really good and recentlyI tried it and I would say their samosa was really good, best samosas I've ever had in Canada, Will update this review once I try their other snacks.

Everything you need coming from Indian subcontinent. From spices to Vegetables everything is available.

Going to Onkar is a MUST whenever I am traveling to Canada to see family. Especially for the freshly made Indian food items they offer onsite.

Their samosas are you die for! Choley Bhature, tava roti and other snacks.

Highly recommend anyone visiting the greater Toronto area to give them a try.

Better check you tikki and Samosas. If they're good to eat. I have bad experiences tikki were d bad smell.

As a grocery store they are okay, but for their fast food they are awesome specially their samosas. They need to improve their customer service a bit because they run really busy on their restaurant side.

A bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth it if you have no other Indian grocery places around you. The samosas were superb, and definitely worth a revisit.

Excellent produce and fair prices. Excellent dried goods. The staff smile and engage in conversation. Top notch establishment. Thank you Onkar for your many years of quality service. You have a wonderful staff. I wish you many more years of success. Thank you

Although food is good here but just disappointed about their delay’s in providing food for take out.

Best fresh and real Samosas in the region. Period. Love their new take out options. Never disappointed in the last 10 yrs with them.

Has a variety of food selections and also sells prepared Indian food and deserts including excellent vegetarian samosas at decent price.

As a grocery store - its alright with great options of Indian items. As a restaurant this place is famous for their amazing samosa - must try. However, if you want to order other items on their restaurant menu be prepared to wait for 15-20min as they are usually super busy with limited staff. Service can be definitely improved given the demand to make that part of experience perfect like how their food tastes.

Pathetic service …. They let me wait for 20 min for samosas though it was already there and they are giving priority to other customer…. Not at all recommended

The staff is so rude. Called to ask about menu and was yelled at. Will not be visiting somewhere that is disrespectful even on the phone.

The shop has ample products to choose from. Specifically the hot samosas and traditional Indian sweets are delicious.

Picked up 6 samosas for $5 tonight and they are fabulous. Both staff that I spoke with today were very efficient and polite.

The store was clean and organized well.

A good place where you get a variety of fresh Indian vegetables and sweets. Samosa from Onkar is a must try. All stuffs are friendly and really helpful.

Best in Town for A great sunday Punjabi Breakfast… P. S. - order well in advance, long waiting Lines.

Reminds me of india. I feel positive vibes there. No doubt everything is good there. Fair price, good quality food. 5 stars

Good place to fetch each and every ingredient required for lndian cooking along with ready made Indian sweets and popular snacks. But needs bit of organising and tidying.

Great hoices, service and prices.

Extremel helpful staff.

Samosa's are delicious so are pakora and dhokla.

I am very picky when come to food and taste. Also I dont write fault reviews to mislead others. I highly recommend to this store and try theire samosas. Very tasty, delicious and fresh. Theire samosas sold within half hour. Make fresh every hour. They deserve 5 star.

Staff is very respectful to everyone. Its No 1 indian food store in Kitchener and Waterloo.we have to always travel to Kitchener or Waterloo to visit their stores. They must have one store in Cambridge.

A racist place I stand there more then the rest of Indians, i also try to ask question they walk pass me but some how an Indian man got a help.not a nice place wouldn't recommend anybody who have a different ethnicity than them

Don’t forget their hot food section!
The samosas are heavenly. I tried their samosa chaat the other day and it did not disappoint. Large portions, excellent taste and affordable.
The desserts are also really delicious

If you are near Kitchener and wish to have a delicious Samosa or a samosa Chaat.this is the place to go.
We got some gujiyas from here. They tasted amazing.
Just that unlike Toronto certain items in the store were a bit on the higher side.like the pickle dat I get for $2.50 was for $4.50.
But overall good store

Best place to buy some food. I loveee their bread pakoda. The people that serve are polite and friendly. I go their often.

Samosa are average taste. Size is okay. 2 stars because First time ever in life I found a place where chutney isn't included with samosa You have to pay extra. Not even little bit. It's like paying extra for gravy when I buy poutine lol.

A great store if you are interested in Indian food. A good selection of ready to eat packaged food that I like to buy. A branch of a chain with several stores in the region.

The best Samosas I ever had in Ontario, their produce section is also good. I usually go there only for samosas.
