This small desi store in Richardson is pretty much a typical grocery for South Asian goods. They sell a number of spices, vegetables, and imported drinks like Pakola and Maaza, as well as other more conventional imported foods like Nutella (it's cheaper here than at a standard grocery, too). They have a halal meat market off to the side as well as a small restaurant, and also a media shop selling and renting (mostly pirated) Indian DVDs. There's also a number of newspapers for sale in Bengali, Urdu, English, and maybe a few other languages, and some of them are free also. The people who work there are nice enough. I wouldn't say the selection is as good as some of the bigger stores not that far away (notably Taj Mahal Imports and Subzi-Mandi), but they do offer a bit of a different selection in that they cater more toward Pakistani customers. It's convenient to a lot of the Chinese and Vietnamese businesses in the area.
