A grocery store and food court specializing in South Asian staples is coming to McKinney, with plans to fill a 15,600-square-foot space at 4058 W. University Drive, Suite 120, by summer 2027. Spices of India will stock spices, rice, flours, lentils and beans alongside fresh-made roti, samosas and puff pastries, plus a food court serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The store is owned by Raj and Nita Patel, a husband-and-wife team who have run Spices of India in Oklahoma City for more than 35 years, according to the business website cited by Community Impact. That original location has occupied multiple sites as it grew and now carries more than 20,000 products, the outlet reported.

The Patels said they want customers to be able to get everything they need in one trip, from fresh produce and spices to a hot meal at the food court, and that staff will help shoppers find ingredients, suggest dishes or explain what to try first for anyone new to Indian food.
