Inside Kartar Food
Kartar Food is an Indian grocery supermarket on Wilmersdorfer Straße in Charlottenburg, the kind of shop where the shelves are organised so you can actually find what you came for. Fresh produce and dry goods sit together in a layout that makes a recipe hunt quick rather than a scramble.
The snacks are the first thing to look at. Samosas are the item to get before they go; more than one person has left without trying them and planned a return trip for exactly that. The shelves also carry spice brands from India and Pakistan, and if you are cooking a specific dish you can usually find the exact ingredient, including seeraga samba rice, curry leaves and black chickpeas.
The frozen section is worth a slow pass, with a collection that brings people back. Beyond that, the shop covers everyday Indian groceries and household items, and a packet of chicken butter masala gravy is the sort of shortcut you spot while browsing.
Spend is modest for what you carry out: a basket runs €10–30, and the prices suit students and anyone stocking a kitchen. Come on a weekday if you want room to browse; the shop is closed on Sundays.
One thing to know: prices are high on some items, so it pays to compare before you fill a basket. That aside, this is a shop for cooks chasing a particular ingredient and for anyone who wants a proper Indian grocery in Charlottenburg.

The verdict
Prices run high on some items, so it is not the cheapest place to fill a pantry, but for a specific Indian ingredient or a bag of samosas in Charlottenburg it does the job.
