Simply following the recipe to make some exotic dishes is not that easy if the right ingredients are not available. Imagine trying to impress someone with your culinary skills and forcing yourself to replace the Thai ginger in your Thai chicken curry with regular ginger. But if you have Godrej Nature’s Basket near your neighborhood, this won’t happen to you.

The store’s inventory is sure to satisfy even the most demanding and discerning shoppers when it comes to ingredients. In addition to fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables, the store has a wide assortment of continental and Mediterranean herbs. You no longer have to plan your shopping trips because the store has a ready supply of exotic varieties like artichokes, dragon fruits, kumquats, and, among pakchoi, watercress, as well as numerous canned and frozen options.

Besides the fresh vegetables, what really stands out at Godrej Nature’s Basket is their Delicatessen. Exceptional options for poultry, meat and seafood The cheese segment of the store has some of the best options in the world in one place. The cheese segment includes super specialty brands such as Dodoni and Zanetti, Giglio and Holland’s Diary and its full range of the best soft, semi-hard, hard, blue and spreadable cheeses.

In addition to these, the place also has a bread section, which has a handful of options and also has some regular freebies, like if you buy any Ritu Dalmia cookbook, you’ll get a 50% discount coupon at the Diva restaurant in the master chef.

Well lit, spacious and fantastically displayed products make Godrej Nature’s Basket easy to maneuver and shop for. You don’t need help locating most items, but God forbid if you need help then you’re in trouble. The staff seem to be so impressed with the quality of the imported stuff that most of the time they are hiding in some corner. When you call them, they approach you so slowly and with such caution that the food in your hands will be past its expiration date by the time you hear your query.

A few years ago, such a store would have been hailed as the answer to every kitchen’s prayer, but we have seen such places appear in almost every large market or shopping mall in our cities. Most of the grocery items here are imported, and unlike Spencer’s or Modern Bazaar, Godrej Nature’s Basket doesn’t really have many local brands. If it’s imported cheese and poultry and carefully packaged imported crackers and noodles you’re after, then look no further.
