A popular Indian grocery store is expanding in Fresno, bringing a taste of home closer to more local families. Shan-E-Punjab plans to soon open a second supermarket and restaurant in West Fresno. “While there are a few food markets and eateries nearby, we are eager to offer another quality option for residents in West Fresno,” store owner Satnam Singh said. On a recent weekday morning, Singh worked diligently at his office computer while steady waves of shoppers browsed the aisles of the store and restaurant patrons filled the dining area, surrounded by the warm aroma of traditional Indian curries. Here’s what local shoppers can expect at the new Shan-E-Punjab: How did Indian grocery store get its start? Shan-E-Punjab is dedicated to bringing authentic Punjabi flavors to the Central Valley through “home-style cooking and warm hospitality,” the store said on its website.

5 Best Restaurants in Clovis, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Clovis, California — a city where the Sierra foothills roll gentle and golden, where the air is sweet with the scent of orange blossoms and the laughter of families echoes from shaded porches. Here, the streets are stitched with memory and migration, from old-town brick facades to the new neighborhoods where dreamers plant roots. Clovis is a patchwork — of ranchers and teachers, of Hmong and Hispanic families, of students, artists, and old-timers who remember when the rodeo was the biggest show in town.

New Fresno food in October: Clovis matcha, Yemeni coffee, smashburgers and more
October loaded the Fresno food map with new openings worth lining up for — a Syrian-pastry cafe pulling 8,000 date lattes in two months, an L.A. matcha chain finally landing in Clovis, three Yemeni coffee shops expanding across town and the next move from the group behind Heirloom, Otherside and Saizon. Here’s the month at a glance, bookmark-ready. Rumi Coffee is the sleeper hit of the Northwood corner The foodie glow-up at Alluvial and Fresno Street is real. Rumi Coffee opened in July from the owner of Fabiano Coffee Roasters, serving Syrian baklava, tiny edible birds nests, fig labneh toast and lattes built around cardamom, rose water and orange blossom.
