AFTER ARRIVAL

Where can I buy Indian groceries?

Basmati Rice is available in supermarkets too.
A couple of shops run by Srilankans, one in Nikolaistrasse (Poorana’s Asian shop) and another in Gotmarstrasse (Baba Asian shop) sell almost all varieties of dal and spices.
Dal and vegetables and quite a few varieties of spices can also be purchased at Aliman shop at the Gosslerstrasse.
