Bombay Spices has been in business since 1984, establishing the eclectic retail shop as one of the oldest stores on this block in the heart of Little India. The store, which specializes in wedding gifts, carries a melange of merchandise imported from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh -- turbans, shoes, cards, bajots, caram boards, musical instruments, pictures, books, temple art and some grocery items such as drinks and, naturally, spices. The friendly staff is quick to assist any customers.
