Probably considered as one of the best grocery stores to shop for your local spices (....according to Google anyway lol) along with preserved mixed fruit, passion fruit or pineapple jams, huge bottles of mango lassi drinks, packaged ginger cookies + tea biscuits, and snacks like Thala Guli (traditional Sri Lankan sweets made w/ sesame seeds, salt and jaggery like palm sugar) to munch on. Definitely seems like a great hidden gem among the Sri Lankan community within Staten Island. The cashier behind the counter is so kind, patient, humble and friendly. My friend N was just so excited to step inside Lanka Grocery to converse in Sinhalese (a dialect that makes her feel like home) with the staff member and so happy to discover all these snacks, sweets, and drinks that she once grew up with back in her home country.

Excellent loose black tea, better than what I ordered online and at a better price.

You can find all kinds of Sri Lankan food here. Shelves were well stocked and organized. If you're in the mood to walk, it's a little over a mile from the ferry. Also easily accessible via various buses from/to the ferry. I wish I lived closer - I would be going to this store all the time.

This place has everything. All it needed was a couple Langor monkeys out front and you'd think you were in Sri Lanka or India

Good place to buy most Sri Lankan food and South Asia products, including greens such as gotukula and various kinds of yams. Friendly and helpful staff. Prices are cheaper than most other places that sell Sri Lankan food. Definitely recommend
