The Dublin store joins a city that\u2019s already rich in Indian markets, with others right down the street including Turmeric Indian Supermarket, Spice Corner Indian Grocery, New India Bazar, Kamal Spices and India Cash & Carry. The population of the city is 55% Asian, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n
The new market is open 24 hours every day. For late-night customers, that might mean a new place for snacking. Though the new store\u2019s online-ordering system is blank right now, other Apni Mandis offer dozens of snacks \u2014 pani puri, samosa chaat, paneer pakora \u2014 as well as bigger meals like curry, vegetarian thali and all-day breakfasts.<\/p>\n
Apni Mandi bills itself as \u201cyour one-stop destination for authentic Indian groceries, cuisine and panwaari in the Bay Area.\u201d The company\u2019s website goes on: \u201cExplore our wide range of Indian groceries, mouthwatering snacks and street food prepared daily, ensuring you have everything you need. Don\u2019t forget to indulge in our special paan and freshly squeezed juice offerings, adding a touch of tradition and flavors of India.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, as part of his \u201cMidnight Diners\u201d series, KQED food editor Luke Tsai called the Apni Mandi in Fremont the \u201cplace to be for delicious midnight chaat, thalis and chai.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, it was news to us that there even is a 24-hour Indian grocery store in the Bay Area, much less one that sells hot vegetarian curries and chaat at all hours of the night,\u201d Tsai wrote. \u201cBut even knowing that the place existed in theory, we were amazed to see just how many people \u2014 all ages, almost exclusively South Asian \u2014 had come to the grocery store past 11 o\u2019clock at night. Outside, the eight or nine umbrella-topped tables in front of the store were all occupied by groups of friends making happy conversation over spreads of roti, curry platters and pani puri, devouring the food in the half-darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n
This kind of nocturnal festivity could soon spread. Another Apni Mandi is scheduled to open as early as spring 2027 in the South Bay, specifically Campbell, and it will also be open 24 hours.<\/p>\n
