It’s not a food market. It’s more like a corner store/head shop tucked inside Epcot Germany on the corner of Bardstown Road and Bonnycastle. Here’s the basic math:

EQUALS (=) Bombay International Food Market
In fact, some days when I go in there, it’s plain creepy…but creepy in a fun “what will happen - is anyone even here” way. It’s funny: they own the liquor store next to it, and only recently did I figure out that when I go inside of the convenience store and I think I’m alone, there’s a worker going back and forth from liquor to convenience store, all the while watching me on camera.
But no matter how many times I have gone there and have literally crawled on my hands and knees to get a $1 can of Coke out from the VERY back of the bottom shelf of their freezer, one thing keeps bringing me back. Homemade samosas.
If you’re lucky…and this is usually between 2:30 - 4 PM…they have a box with tongs and vegetarian samosas on sale for $2 each. I LOVE them. They are filled with Indian spices, potatoes, and peas. They make the best romantic snacks with the person, place, or thing that you love.
The long and short of it: go have a Samosa. Buy one for a date, take a walk, and please your palates. But be forewarned. It’s an interesting scene in that not-an-international-food-market.
