In Dallas, we have lots of Indian stores. One famous Indian store is this one, with the name of the 'TajMahal" the symbol of peace. This is located on the Beltline Road near the North Central Expressway. Normally we buy the groceries at the Patel Brothers store which is just near the road.
Today we have to Tajmahal imports as the 'Sakthi masala' packets we can get only from there. Its not available in Patel Stores. We had seen masala packets..on top of which it is written 'Buy 1 Get 1". Hence we took 4 packets. Also Rice, Dosa mix, etc and then for Kisan Fruit Jam, again we can get it only here. We found only Strawberry flavour being there and not the famous mixed fruit jam.
We moved for the billing and then I have asked the shop owner, whether the Kisan Mixed Fruit Jam is not availbl. The answer I got was "Nobody in entire USA has Kisan Mixed Fruit Jam". Then while billing another quarrel... 'Buy 1 get 1" option is only for packets having that label. Only few packets got that label over there in the same variety of packet. No idea whats this funda. So got it in anyways.
Once we started for home, we were discussing why there is label on only some packets. They might be old stock which might get expired in a month or two. But we are wrong. All the packets which we got, the expiration date was last year.
The Kisan Jam bottle again expired in 2007 itself. I think in this shop, whatever they get is from 'Entire USA Indian stores remainings (expired throw-away products).
People in Dallas please check for the expiration date on the products in this store. My personal opinion is to avoid this store for any groceries. Its not only for 2-3 products. Most of the items in this store are having expired dates.
Lots of people faced this..but we didnt know. Tomorrow we are gonna exchange for money. Dont know what else we can do for this.
More reviews reg this store.
