No. There isn't a significant enough "Indian" population here to
support one anymore. I'd have to cross a bridge and go somewhere in
the East Bay to find specific Indian shopping now. At best, we have
"International" markets (where I shop for Moroccan seasonings) here.
Chowhound has a recommendation for one in Fremont, called Bharat
Bazar, so I'll look that one up the next time I visit the area.
