Nice selection of middle Eastern food tucked inside a strip mall specialty grocer. Excellent stuffed grape leaves and baba ghanoush! Lamb was well seasoned but not as tender as I prefer. 3 tiny tables so take out may best.

Just discovered this store yesterday and was really impressed at the variety and cleanliness! They’re stocked with a sizable selection of Mediterranean, Turkish, and Middle Eastern spices, pickles, refrigerated and canned goods. Employees were helpful and didn’t mind my many questions, which was nice. I’ll be back soon to try more things.

Best Arabic food I had in a very long time. Amjad (The owner) is very friendly and funny. Chef Omar is probably the best Mediterranean chef in Jacksonville. The food is delicious and fresh. The staff are very welcoming , professional and friendly. Customer service is excellent and the store has a huge selection of authentic food. By the way, they offer fresh cut Halal meat too. Definitely will be my go to place.

I highly recommend their family size platter. I'm not sure at all how the semi-charred texture was achieved on the meats, as I've never been able to cook at such an exquisite level as this, but it has been the BEST meal I've had in my life at a very small restaurant. The salad was also very delicious! Not sure what dressing was used, but whatever it is, it is utterly heavenly and fantastic.
They even have a shop that has imported foods that you otherwise would not find anywhere else! The honey is the absolutely best I've had in years, perhaps even my life. How rare is it to find real flower honey?! Very rare. The taste is so smooth and since it is real honey, I can use it with my food or simply to take a spoon daily to keep my body in check.
Also purchased some rose syrup! I have not been able to find ANYTHING that's legitimate rose since I moved to Jacksonville. They have it. Not to mention their very large selection of teas and coffee. The scent in that aisle was magical as well.
I have so much to say, all being positive. I appreciate coming here, as I like to explore the smaller shops that aren't food chains since most of the time they tend to have better meals. I got way more than I bargained for. I will definitely recommend this gorgeous little shop to anyone, even if you're only visiting! You will remember it for the rest of your life. I certainly will.
Thanks again!

I've never been to this restaurant personally so my review is based solely from delivery. The food was good however not what I expected. There is no description in the app that explains what is exactly in their gyro wrap so one would assume it was lettuce and tomato and onion wrapped it a pita like the picture portrayed but it doesnt. It was still tasty and arrived hot. I also got fries which were also hot and crispy. I just think it would be better if their was a more define description of what was in their gyros instead of just a picture that looks nothing like what actually arrives. I also got a cheese pizza for the kids and they really liked it, so if you want pizza from here it is kid approved!.

Very clean, very organized, and great prices. This place really shines compared to the other ethnic food stores in Jacksonville, which are normally dirty and messy. Plus, the owner was very polite and patient.

What a surprisingly hidden gem in the midst of Jacksonville! I was totally impressed with the cleanliness of the place, and what a wondrous selection of both delicious and affordable products. I found a delicate 1lb box of rose-flavoured Turkish Delights for only $4.49, a beautiful 28.2 oz jar of rose preserve for only $2.89, and a savoury 7.05 oz box of Moroccan green pearl tea for only $3.25. I felt like a sophisticate foodie indulging in a food and drink festival, and I only spent $20.39 for 6 large purchases. These are gourmet items at supermarket prices. Shopping at World Market or Whole Foods for similar items would have easily been twice the price. Shop here, discover some new international favourites, and support a locally-owned small-business store. I wish Amgad Affan all the best of luck in his business. When I visit Jacksonville again, I will definitely be returning here to stock-up on something delicious and within my budget.

Love this place. The prices are extremely low. Their hummus is the best I've had anywhere. The market is awesome; they have so many options at really great prices.

My husband and I ordered food via Doordash. We had the gyros with fries and falafel which were phenomenal. We intend to eat from your shop again soon!
