Looking for Punjabi community

Submitted by nasek2 t3_zlazrz in RhodeIsland

Hello! I'm on the East Side of PVD; I've lived here for a couple of years and I'm sort of missing it from home/family/school, but wondering if there are neighborhoods in Providence/towns in Rhode Island that have Punjabi food/culture, thinking sort of like an Atwells Ave Little Italy type deal, obviously expecting it on a way smaller scale. Any leads are appreciated, thanks guys!

Sadly not much of a desi community in RI, nevermind getting specific 🫤. NY/NJ is always a quick train ride away though.

The community down in RI is sparse at best my friend. Better to go to ma or at least to places where we gather. I myself congregate at coffee shops, a little fine in and well I'm out in foster now.. it's an eye opener.

Patel Bros. supermarket in North Attleboro frequently hangs signs and posters for various Indian social, religious, and cultural events. I'd bet that will get you at least close to what you're looking for.

Same here, not a huge desi community. We could always start a Reddit rhody desi group.
