Your Neighborhood Source for Authentic South Asian Groceries

Central Kirana Store was born from a journey of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of the American dream. Our founders, the Subedi family, came to the United States as Bhutanese refugees, carrying little more than their traditions, determination, and the dream of building a better future for their children.

What started as a small family venture has grown into a trusted neighborhood destination where quality meets tradition. We carefully source our products to ensure you get the same authentic ingredients you'd find back home.

For Rudra Subedi and his family, food has always been more than just nourishment — it’s a way of keeping memories alive, honoring their heritage, and sharing love across generations. Today, we're proud to serve as a cultural bridge, connecting our community through the universal language of food.

Whether you are preparing a cherished family recipe or exploring South Asian cuisine for the first time, we welcome you as part of our extended family. Our story is proof that with hard work, faith, and family by your side, dreams can take root and flourish.
