This is a quaint little store that is family owned and been a staple for getting my family's middle eastern groceries for as long as I can remember--more than 15 years. The shop is always clean, the staff is always friendly, the prices are very fair, the store/parking is easy to get to, and if you are there in time on the weekends the pita bread is hot and freshly baked from the sister bakery across the street. If you are middle eastern/egyptian like I am, and from the area it is likely that you already frequent this store. If you aren't and want to branch out your palate to some of the best cuisine in the world, this is where you will find your building blocks.
As soon as I stepped through the door and inhaled the spices, I just knew that I'd be stocking up. Although I'm Greek, I was not disappointed. The market was clean, well stocked, and items were reasonably priced. Will definitely shop there again when I am in the area again.
Really good bread cheese and basterma! And very polite would totally recommend!!!!’
They are friendly. Very good quality Mediterranean food (Egyptian and Lebanese). The store is very clean that's why I drive 45 minutes to an hour to buy what I need. Thank you for a great service.
Friendly and helpful. Lots of products to be found!! My favorite Middle East store.

This is a great place to get whole wheat pita bread, inexpensively. Also, the only place I know to get a can of pureed chick peas with pureed sesame seeds, to which I can add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and paprika to make hummus dip, which I eat with their pita bread. A can of their pureed hummus ingredients only costs $1.25 and makes two batches of hummus, each of which is good for 3 people. And they have all kinds of dried fruit, pistachios without shells or salt & many kinds of olives. It's a great place for middle eastern food, very affordable, and run by Lebanese Christians. And I love their spinach pies, stuffed grape leaves and small, stuffed peppers. Quite excellent, for at least the past 27 years that I've been going there. They speak Arabic, they eat Arabic food, and yet they are Christian, like millions of people today in the Middle East, the place where Jesus was born, raised, preached, and died-in what we call the Middle East, today. And some of this food in the Middle East was around thousands of years ago, before Arabic was spoken in Lebanon, before Jesus was alive-timeless Middle Eastern food from the many civilizations and peoples that have lived there-quite excellent, interesting and healthy food of which many of us Americans know very little. Come check it out, this is a great place to explore real Middle Eastern food, like Evelyn's Restaurant on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick-you will love it!
Friendly staff. Very good quality of Middle Eastern food. Clean & organized store. Reasonable prices.
I have been shopping here for many years. Always helpful and friendly staff. Fresh pita bread, great selection of olives and cheeses, a great variety of spices and the spinach pies are fresh and delicious. A vast selection of pastries. A good selection of frozen products like Mlukhiyah.
