We ordered a variety of kabobs, including Kubideh, chicken, and vegetables. The food was excellent, although we had to wait an extra 20 minutes 3540 minutes in total for it to get ready. Hopefully this is not a typical occurrence so I gave 55 for now.
Coming from Toronto, I can safely say his shawarma is probably one of the better ones in the Bay Area. Surprisingly he has a takeout restaurant inside of a grocery store. I appreciate owner is always there, sometimes hes a bit flustered but always a great experience.
The owners name is Walid and he is a nice and friendly person. I appreciate the high quality of his Manakish Arabic , they are always fresh and tasty, they are even better than those served at many bakeries in Lebanon. The store is clean and organized. The gentleman at the cash register is as nice as Walid.
A great market to find your Turkish, afghan and Arab staples! Great fresh produce and meat. They have the best cheese selection and have all your childhood snacks you grew up eating back home! The owner is a wonderful helpful person as well. Prices are reasonable and nothing is expired. I come here at least once a week
Love this store its my go to for most of my grocery needs.The staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome. If you stop by make sure to try something from their restaurant. Their manakish are great!
I just love their food! They have three types of feta one of my kids swears shes a vegetarian so..., And we buy all our walnuts, parsley, peeled garlic, and pita regularly from them! Plus, the owner is such a nice guy, as is everyone ...
Family owned neighborhood store. Very nice for buying herbs, spices, teas, fruits, nuts, fresh produce, and glass jars with sauces and vegetables. Very friendly cashier always says hi and is ready to provide help when needed. Has a small kitchen that sells pizzas and delicious Mediterranean dishes.
Best falafels ever! Falafels taste better in the wrap.
