FRESH DAILY Sourced from Brisbane Markets Rocklea every morning
The Ipswich Indian Pantry

Why people travel to Booval for our Indian grocery

Our Indian grocery started because regular customers asked for it. Ipswich has a growing South Asian community, and people were driving an hour to Brisbane just to stock their pantry properly. So we did something about it.

Today we stock the full range. Spices by weight and packaged, every common dal, basmati from the top growing regions, atta for daily rotis, ghee, pickles, namkeen, mithai and fresh Indian vegetables. If you cook Indian food seriously, we have what you need.

Our team knows the products too. Ask what kashmiri chilli actually does differently, or which atta brand is best for soft rotis, and you'll get a real answer.

Indian Grocery at Booval
For Home Cooks

New to Indian cooking? We'll help you start

If you're cooking Indian food for the first time, or want to move beyond curry powder and jar sauces, ask us. We can put together a starter pantry of essential spices, a beginner's dal and rice pack, or just help you find what a recipe calls for.

Our team includes people who cook this food every day at home. They know the difference between a good biryani rice and a regular one, why you need whole cumin and ground cumin, and when to use mustard oil versus ghee.
