Hi guys,
Is there a proper Indian grocery shops in Hanoi. I came across few but they are too costly and doesn't have even the major indian items.

The answer is NO.
As there is not enough Indian or other south Asian community in Hanoi, no one wants to open an Indian grocery shop. I did it but failed.聽 The Average North Vietnamese are not spice users andno local market exists. The market for indian condiment users only depends on indians and other foreigners.
I am sorry you have to do with the high expense stuff or you have to import your own requirements in small quantities for your your consumption or you will be laible for food safety regulations at the port of entry.
Hand carry no problem.
