Enker Food and Pharmacy: Reviews & Ratings
Khandvi & dhokla were very good but undhiyo was only so so. Dal makhani & shrikand puri were nice.
Love Gujarati food from Enker. Patra is the must try item. Definitely recommend this place.
Excellent vegetarian food, Gujurati style. Excellent plant selection - Indian vegetables and exotic fruit trees. And the staff are very informative experts in nutrition and gardening.
Absolutely delicious Samosas...I do a takeout quite regularly for a quick evening snack. This place is like a hidden gem. A couple of times did a quick run for a few groceries as well. Have been a regular here since moving into the neighborhood.
hesitant to give a low score just because it's a family-run place and the workers and such are very nice. Keep in mind everything is made desi spicy. Wife and I shared dahi puri and some other chaat- it was all excellent but just a little spicy. There are also some fun finds in the store here, and excelent mangoes. Only one or two small tables in the back, just fyi. Worthwhile place for chaat in San Ramon!
Sugar cane juice on a hot summer day! I've only had fresh sugar cane juice in Singapore and Hawaii. What a treat to find a place in San Ramon that makes it. They press the cane and pour it fresh. You have two options. You can get just the juice or sugar cane juice with fresh lemon and ginger, which won't turn dark after it's oxidized (but you'll probably drink it before that happens). We had both and both were amazing! The owner explained there's more sugar in a can of soda than in one cup of pure sugar cane. It is served at room temperature. We happened to have ice water in the car, so we just put some ice in our juices and they were that much better. I'm excited to try their food next time. The owner and his son are very nice and knowledgeable.
Great spot for Indian groceries and plants! Knowledgeable staff and also they have tons of to go meals :)
Picked up samosas and rotis from here. Looks like a nice family-owned spot that serves up yummy food. The samosas were really good. Fresh, not overwhelmingly spicy like most spots and they were a hit with the group and went fast. The rotis were fresh and tasty as well.
4/8/2022: Upon the countless road trips visiting my Mother who resided in SF Bay Area, this is one place on my bucket list I knew I must visit! En route to Placerville, I stopped by knowing I needed purchasing rice; I decided buying the rice at Enker's. Outside Enker's, on display were so many fruit tree varieties for sale never seen at any Placerville/Tri-Counties' nurseries: Furthermore, I was visually stunned and deeply impressed by seeing first-hand exotic, fruit trees I haven't seen anywhere in USA except, the countries I've visited in the past! I will return purchasing bare-root fruit trees this coming fall 2022.
