This store does not belong on Clement, but glad it's there right by my place so I can get those Dutch/Indonesian goodies I need. Will try the deli next time...

SF Food Inspection Score: 98 Has everything you need for an authentic Indian meal, dessert, or drinks. Imported items from all over the world and more than decent food made at their deli.
