It's a south Indian grocery, though, there are not many of those. I know there are (south Indian) people from Waterloo coming to DTK to shop at this one.
Yes, but they are small and don't have many products that interest me. I went there last to get some dosa batter as I have been into dosas for breakfast, lately.

A fair point, but for some people it's still a go-to store. And we have people complaining that DTK doesn't have "destination stores", this one qualifies, even if it's a small one. Similarly the comic shop and the soccer shop on Ontario St, Black Arrow Cycles and (the former?) ABC Surplus on Queen St, Kinoko's Oven on King St, and Coven vegan grocery on Charles St: all are niche stores, but they are something (some) people will go to DTK for.

Not to mention the two Asian grocery stores that I have been to quite often.
