I have enjoyed purchasing from Kalustyan’s for a couple of years now. I regularly purchase the smoked basmati rice which is fabulous and easy to cook. I have also purchased brown basmati rice, Greek noodles, lentils, and many spice blends. Everything has been wonderful! Well packaged, great instructions and information, and very prompt delivery. Plus the staff is very nice and helpful when I had to call in an order. I purchase for home use and found their prices very reasonable, especially for such great products. The website is well done, informative, and easy to use too! I highly recommend! Thank you!

I love the flavor of the lentil-veggie soups I prepare using Lentil De Puy! I make lentil soups every week, so I'm familiar with several of those Kalustyan's offers.
