I am a big advocate for local businesses but unfortunately I will not be coming back after 4 tries to this store. No one says hello or offers to help. 75% of the items I put in my cart were expired and past its purchase date by at least 3 to 6 months. The only person who says hello and is friendly is a sweet Asian girl I see some of the time. Too bad because this store really has potentials.

I love this store. They have a great variety of yummy stuff, and this freshly baked naan bread is amazing. We're going to be back over and over to keep buying it. My wife absolutely loves it, and I do too.
They also had some amazing-looking ribeye that we're going to have to try. It looked so marbled.
The staff is super friendly, too, and very helpful.

The cleanest grocery store ever (3 months ago)
I have to update my review because I genuinely want this business to do better.
Last week, I went to buy some çiğ köfte, but when I got to the cashier, I noticed it had mold on it, and honestly, I understand that these things can happen anywhere.
What disappointed me was the response from the cashier. I was told that it wasn’t expired. However, when I went back to the refrigerator to grab another one, I checked more than five packages, and every single one looked worse than the one I had taken.
I decided not to buy any of them that day.
Then today, completely by coincidence, some friends told me they had experienced the same issue and warned me to always check the products before buying them there.
I still want to support this business because it has a great location and a wonderful variety of products. But please, please, please check the refrigerated products and others regularly before putting them on the shelves. I truly hope this issue is addressed because I’d love to continue shopping here.

This is hands-down the worst customer service I have ever experienced by the butcher and manager. This isn’t a one-time issue; I have been refused service at the meat counter 7 to 8 times now. Every time I come in, the butcher makes excuses—either claiming they don't have the meat, telling me to "come back tomorrow," or making up ridiculous wait times.
His attitude is so bad that I feel like I'm asking him to sign his property papers over to my name. I am paying for this food, not getting it for free!
Most recently, I called ahead for 6 pieces of leg quarters. When I arrived, he flat-out refused to give them to me. When I told him I had just called, he snapped and claimed it would take 45 minutes just to get 6 pieces. He also refused to do standard barbecue cuts, which I used to get here all the time.
To top it off, when the cashier called the manager to handle this, the manager refused to even come out, sending a message that they were "too busy" to talk to us.
This store clearly does not want my money. I will never step foot in here again, and I am telling all of my family and friends to take their business elsewhere, too.

My wife and I have had several disappointing experiences at the butcher counter. On different occasions, we were ignored or not served while other customers were helped, which left us feeling unfairly treated and unwelcome.
There were also times when we asked for a particular cut of meat that was clearly available in the display. After we requested that the skin be removed, the butcher told us they didn’t have it, even though we could see it right in front of us. It gave us the impression that he simply didn’t want to do the extra work.
When the business first opened, the staff and manager were very friendly because they were building their customer base. We referred many friends and family to support them, but unfortunately, once they became established, the level of customer service toward us changed significantly.
To be fair, the store itself is always clean, organized, and well maintained. Our issue is specifically with the butchery service, not the cleanliness or the rest of the store.
We shared our concerns with the lady at the front in the hope that they take the feedback seriously and improve the way they treat all customers. Based on our experiences, we no longer feel valued as loyal customers and will be taking our business elsewhere. If you’re shopping here, the store is well kept, but we would avoid using the butchery based on our experience.

Incredibly clean tidy market of unique foods at least from the perspective of this lily white dude. Mung beans and other lentils are a key part of the diet. As a pescatarian, sardines and canned fish are also significant source of nutrition. Visited the store in hope of some unique sardines and was not disappointed. Nice selection of Moroccan fish you won't find elsewhere at a good price.
Response from the owner · 5 months ago
Thank you so much, Rob, for the kind words and thoughtful review! We’re happy you enjoyed exploring the market and found some unique Moroccan canned fish and sardine options. We take pride in keeping the store clean, organized, and stocked with specialty products from around the world.
We also wanted to let you know that we received more Moroccan products last week, other specialty items. We look forward to seeing you again soon at Arabian Delight Market!
