Apni Mandi Farmers Market Sunnyvale

I actually like Apni Mandi and have shopped here many times. The produce and Indian groceries are solid, and it’s convenient for me since I live nearby and don’t own a car.

Today really killed it for me though.

I came on my light electric scooter, walking it, not riding inside. The way it was handled was just bad. The moment I stepped in, an employee just said something like “scooter not allowed” and blocked me. No “hey, you can park it here,” no suggestion, no help. Just a hard no.

I wasn’t trying to zip around the aisles. I just wanted to bring a small, light scooter in with me so I could shop safely without worrying about it being stolen outside.

For a neighborhood store that a lot of people without cars rely on, this policy (and the way it’s enforced) makes the place feel really unwelcoming. It sends a pretty clear message that if you don’t drive, you’re a problem to them, not a customer.

I’d rather take my regular shopping somewhere that doesn’t make it this hard just to buy groceries.

What really annoys me is that this isn’t a one-off vibe. If you look at their Google reviews, they barely respond to negative feedback. That tells you everything about how much they actually care about customers.

Giving a 1 star review for the experience I had.

Take forever for a order . Half an hour they forgot my orders

This review is for the kitchen. I got small metals in my food (potato bitter-guard vegetable).
One got stuck in my teeth and it was so painful. I accidentally ate the first piece of small metal.
I will never buy food items from apna bazar anymore.
It’s not only unhygienic but super unhealthy food.
Kadhi was too salty to eat. I regret buy diseases and pain from this kitchen.

Excellent

Great selection of things. Vegetarian can be more fresh but otherwise good store

Good range of Indian Products

I recently stopped here and had a great experience ,the food was really nice and I especially appreciated the service from a server named Harman, who served quickly and with a friendly attitude. The food felt fresh and well-prepared, which made a big difference. I’d definitely recommend this place for a casual bite of tasty Indian snacks or meals.

Fantastic food and friendly staff. Love the Desi vibes.

My experience is so good
Just only one request please at night
Play minimum 6 punjabi songs
Because punjabi songs vibe hit 👌
That’s all
And everything is good

Before six months it was really good but now it is getting worse worse worst

Miss management. People don't seem to care here like before

Rude staff

Lacks of price transparency.
They don't have prices are not display for all items in the grocery section, dairy section, and many other sections. It is very difficult to know what you are paying till you go to the billing counter..

The Indian sweet shop charges VERY HIGH every time you take more than 2 sweets. They put price of mixed sweets $18.99/lb, even if you take 2 sweets which are $12.99/lb and ask them to pack it in one box.

Please check you bills as they are scanning the items.

Always find snacks for kids here.

Worst experience 😡
