Charleston’s sadly lacking in options for Indian food fans, with only two Indian restaurants to speak of. And while both restaurants have their share of devoted customers, there’s now an option for folks looking to try their own hands at Indian cuisine. Tucked away in a small shopping center off of Ashley River Road, Nelli Grocery stocks all the staples for Indian cooking, and owner Christabel Christy is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to dispense advice. Stock up on snacks, hard-to-find produce, and easy frozen dinners while you’re there.
