We Indians love our food and when it comes to cooking, nothing is better for us than a home cooked Indian meal – from idlis to samosas to fish curries to biryanis to dhoklas….the list is endless…
That puts significant focus on finding the right ingredients to indulge in our culinary skills.
Fortunately, in Stockholm, we have a fairly good range of grocery stores (maybe not like Bay Area of USA, but much more than any city in Scandinavia) to fulfil our needs.
We have tried to put together a list of good grocery stores in Stockholm along with the key items that are available there:
- Kista Grossen– Wide range of Rice/Flour; most Spices; Maggi; Pickles; good frozen Paneer; frozen Snacks – samosas, parathas; decent quality Lamb; good range of Vegetables/Fruits (mangoes during summer)
Address/Phone : Torsnäsgatan 4, 164 40 Kista, Sweden, +46 8 751 01 00 - Tajmahal– Good range of Flour; Haldiram Snacks; Lentils; Pickles; specific Vegetables like Okra and Bitter Gourd (best quality), also Green Chillies

Where do you think we can get IndiaGate Sona massori rice ?
try Kista Grossen in Kista
Hi,
Where do you think I could find fresh kari patta and methi patta? I’ve been to Kista grossen and Kazi Indian livs and of course Taj Mahal without finding them. I’d love to try and see the difference with fresh ones.
They get them once in a while. You may leave your number with them and then may SMS you when they get it.
where can you buy frozen or fresh coconut?
Hi, You will get it at the Asian Stores. Try ones near Hotorget Tbana, on Olof Palme Gata
