“Filling A Void” – Mission Local Features Indian Spices & Groceries

The Making of the Mission’s Indian Grocery Store

Ashvini Malshe of Mission Local has featured Indian Spices & Groceries and how it started. Surinder Sroa and Dhruba Kunwar (Indian Spices & Groceries manager) met each other and became friends 7 years ago. Kunwar felt the need for an Indian Grocery in the Mission and Sroa helped him in his first venture.

Surinder also shared how he started with his 2 Indian Restaurants, Lotus Cuisine of India and Cafe Lotus (managed by Jyoti Sroa) in Marin County.
