Avtar Groceries

If this place was closed for the day and you passed it you would assume it was no longer in business let alone just closed. The outside has no shop name or telephone number above the door, and the windows are covered with chicken wire type bars. But when it does open and it is my favorite place to buy fruit and vegetables in Leeds. The outside of the shop has make-​shift tables blanketed with boxes of a good selection of fruit and vegetables. You may also see a tiny women in a baseball cap and over sized coat sweeping the area out the front. She fusses endearingly and will bring you a basket or help you find the ripest produce. She may be tiny but you can tell she is in charge of the sweet guys indoors by the way she carefully barks orders at them. They care about their customers a lot. The majority of the produce is locally grown and the prices are extremely competitive. I never spend more than £5 in there and I normally get a weeks worth of fruit and veg.
