The Best Indian Grocery Store Online in Canada

Whether you grew up in an Indian or a Nepali kitchen, the everyday pantry looks remarkably similar: long-grain basmati, a rack of dals, garam masala and turmeric, chai, and a shelf of snacks. Danphe Stores carries all of it and ships nationwide — from BC to Ontario to the territories — so you don’t need a local Indian store to stock your kitchen.

For rice, we carry premium long-grain basmati from the names you trust — Qilla, Qilla Gold, Tiger XXXL and Guruji Select — in household 10lb and bulk 40lb bags. New to basmati? See our guide to sella vs regular basmati to pick the right grain.

For dal, the full line-up is here: toor/arhar, moong, chana and kala chana, masoor (red split), and rajma (kidney beans). Buy them individually or stock the shelf — they’re the protein backbone of a vegetarian kitchen.

Garam masala, turmeric (haldi), and ready blends like meat, chicken and pani-puri masala cover most Indian cooking. For rajma night, MDH Rajmah Masala does the heavy lifting; for a from-scratch cook, whole spices and panch phoran are on the spice shelf.

The snack aisle is stocked with the classics: Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia and Bhelpuri, Lays Magic Masala, and papad. For tea-time, Britannia Good Day butter and cashew cookies and Britannia cakes. And for dessert, Bikaneri Rasgulla in syrup, ready to serve.

Brew a proper cup with Wagh Bakri or Tetley, or a spiced masala chai with Tokla Masala tea. Round out the trolley with Ayurvedic and household staples many Indian homes keep on hand — Dabur Amla hair oil, ENO, Vicks, Boro Plus and Iodex.
