Wonderful experience! I drove 21 miles to get fresh hamsi fish, my first time to try any. The fish was very cold, and I was pleased to find already cleaned. The young woman working as cashier was alone, so I told her to take care of other customers before getting my fish. Two other young men as customers were glad to wait a minute for me to get my fish. Everyone was courteous and lovely. The store was well organized, clean, and had a large selection of products. I will definitely return! I recommend this store to anyone who likes Mediterranean, Middle Eastern cuisine, you can get halal products here too. I got some goat cheese and canned Moroccan sardines. with hot pepper. Many seasonings, just a delightful place.

This is a humble Middle Eastern grocery store but has excellent quality items and a warm wonderful welcoming owner, Rashid. He'll make you feel at home and always has a smile on his face. You can't just stop by, spend 3 minutes and leave. You need to take your time here and get to know the place. It's a small market but if you keep looking you find more and more. I used to come here when I was living in KC back in 2010. They closed the restaurant and kept the grocery store. I bought amazing quality fancy tea trays, Turkish crystal tea cups, 4 L sturdy stainless steel tea pot, gorgeous brass mortar and pestle and a lot more from here. Now I can make my coffee and tea in peace. Nowhere in the US I found orange colored cactus flower fruits except here. I love this fruit. He sells halal meats and chicken here. The produce is fresh and reasonably priced. If you haven't tried Sultan black gold drink, you should. It's a black seed, honey and ginger drink. Very interesting. The place needs renovation a little. But it's functional and has the good character the owner gives. Because quality is consistent, I come here regularly and walk out with a smile, hence the 5 stars.

Selection is pretty good. It's kind of disorganized and some of the jars and cans are visibly dusty. It really can't be considered as tidy, but it's not gross. It's just a modest market that I never feel uncomfortable in. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I like coming here from time to time to get some stuff I can't get at the major grocery store. But I probably couldn't do my main grocery shopping here.
