Bhanu's Indian Grocery & Cuisine

Tucked away on Rosemead Boulevard in a neighborhood brimming with legendary SGV eateries like Sea Harbour, Bhanu’s is the kind of place you might drive right past without a second glance. That would be a mistake. Behind the modest grocery store facade lies one of the most satisfying Indian food experiences in the greater Los Angeles area.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the thali plate, an absolute steal at $11. You get a complete feast: your choice of entree accompanied by two sides, creamy yogurt, fluffy rice, and perfectly charred garlic naan. It’s the kind of generous, home-style meal that makes you feel like you’ve been welcomed into someone’s kitchen rather than a restaurant.

This is a family operation through and through, and that warmth comes through in every bite. The flavors are bold and authentic, the portions are generous, and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch between errands or stocking up on spices and snacks from the grocery section, Bhanu’s delivers genuine value.

For anyone seeking fantastic Indian food without the downtown trek or the fancy price tag, this San Gabriel gem is exactly what you’re looking for. Come hungry, order the thali, and leave happy.
