Green Grocer

Between the streets you'll meet green grocers - Manav who sell fruits-vegetables. You can consider them as fruit and vegetable-selling bakkals (grocers). Grocer, green grocer and butcher are the people who know the district best. Keep in mind that shopping at a Manav is with terms of kilograms while you may buy fruits and vegetables by pieces at markets. For exotic food we recommend you to try supermarkets.
