A visit to Cosmos is a foodie adventure

How I love thee Cosmos! I could spend hours visiting this small international grocery store. It is so much fun to roam the aisles checking out the spices, curries & chutneys, teas, desserts, dried fruits and other items. It is a great place for picking up lunch for the week too, and I always stock up on several of the frozen lunch options made by Deep. They are around $3 dollars each and you can get all of the classics like Saag Paneer and Aloo Gobi. Unfortunately if you are looking meat options you might feel slighted as they are mostly vegetarian options. Pick up a package of paratha bread to accompany your selections, and you have some awesome lunches to look forward to. Beats a cold sandwich any day of the week! While you are there, head to the back of the store and sample some of the goodies from their lunchcounter. Lunch dosa which is light and crepeish are under $5, and they come stuffed with a mixture of onions, yellow lentils and potatoes. Incredibly on top of this great deal, they also give you a cup of soup with it! Other things that I love about Cosmos is finding things like Neem toothpaste, Marmite, Rosehip Tea, and spicy Plantain chips. Definately don't see those things everywhere.
