Westchester Grocery

This little outlet was something that I had discovered by eating some amazing Chicken Seekh Kababs at someone's house almost three to four years back. I  was amazed at the great taste and then ventured onto Commerce Street in Thornwood to find Westchester Grocery. Now, these pictures have been taken with a very low resolution phone camera, yes, this was what I used earlier in the year, actually comming to think of it I am kind of low tech that way, I carry around a small no so fancy little camera for my travel and meandering kind of pictures, very rarely use the phone for taking pictures.

This being said, it does occasionally come in handy. So, I say this to tell you that the place is probably a little brighter than the pictures here but it is a no frills place that is a grocery store and food place

all in one. The food is inexpensive (relatively) and consists of an assortment of prepared curries both vegetables and meat dishes and several snack items such as the kebabs that I mentioned, breads and rice dishes that are available a la carte. They also cater or take larger orders on request. They have a seating area, which would actually make it a good lunch spot if you are in the area.

 The grocery section is a smal but highly servicabe Indian/Pakistani grocery, by this I mean that all the essentials are available here, spices, lentils, rice and a selection of frozen food. They do not extend to novelty items like snacks and cookware. They do have a good selection of frozen foods several of which are Halal.

All in all, for those of you who keep asking me for a good eating place and a grocery store, this one combines both as long as you are willing to forgive the ambience. I personally love these small scale eating places and am sorry that we do not have more of them in the area.
