International market
Hello and good morning all!
Looking for a good International market. Preferably in Columbus. Have a friend visiting who wants some help with selecting spices for curry and I don't want to make the trip to Jungle Jim's. Someplace local and helpful would be great. Also I drove by a place that said they sold camel meat... I am intrigued but can't seem to find it again.
Thank you all for any help or advice.

There’s also Saraga international grocery off of Morse Rd on the north side of Columbus.
Is this a good store in your experience?
I've only been once or twice as my cooking taste and abilities are rather basic lol so I'm usually not in the market for what they offer. However, I have seen this place highly recommended when others are in search of hard to find international ingredients.
Friends taste were basic as well then convinced them to try curry. Now they want to explore what spices are involved in a curry blend.
haha fair enough. I've started to branch out a little but not much. Sadly, curry was not something i enjoyed. Might give it another go in the future but just wasn't for me.
There's Penzey's. It's local to Ohio. I think it started in Cleveland but they have a Columbus location. https://www.penzeys.com/
Thank you for the time replying. I took a look, might have to check them out. Do you have personal experience with them?
Not a fan of their about page though, I don't need politics in my spice shopping.
I'm not that into cooking but my friends are and they love their selections.
This is my friends first dive into spices. I introduced them to curry and they love certain things about the blends but not sure what the spices are.
Thank you again.
