I like the store just because I can find things that I couldn’t find at another stores.

I love coming to this store and supporting a small business especially in our Muslim community. The store clerks there all wear hijab as model Muslims but their behavior is quite the opposite. I have had my change and receipt slapped on my hand multiple times which is quite rude. I understand it can get really busy and customers can be rude but if Im extremely polite, I dont not appreciate that kind of customer service.

Bought Goat Mix Cut packet. Only the upper layer pieces had actual meat the rest where bones which you cant see without opening.

Nice and tidy place to do Pakistani grocery.Halal meat is really fresh and quality is one of the best. My kids were really excited to find many Pakistani brands of biscuits and we took a whole lot of them.

The butchery. Specially the old man with sunglasses. If you give him a TIP he will serve you well next time. But if you didn’t give him a TIP he will be very tufffff and no meat inside for u!Believe me and try him!

I am rating this grocery store 1 star based on management attitude towards well-being and service of their customers. If you wish to purchase expired items, by all means frequent this store.I have been a customer of this store since 2009. Over the years, I have seen this store flourish with sales and therefore successfully expanding to a much bigger store than it used to be.However, for the past three years, I have noticed the management does not care about their customer’s well-being by putting “expired” items on their shelves, even after they (the management) have been told by customers, many customers on different occassions, that all items should be checked for their expiry date before you put them on the shelf and even mentioned specific items which customers like me found to be expired months and months ago.In the past one year alone, I have had to return (and get a full refund for) numerous items that I noticed were way past their expiry date and I am talking 4-6 months past their expiry date. The specific items I had to get a full refund for in the past year alone range from spices, children’s powdered milk, tea-whiteners, canned food, children’s snack including chips and Slantys to just name a few.While shopping inside the store, I have seen on more than one occassion, customers getting a full refund for expired. I have requested the counter girls many times to request management to be vigilant and do the right thing by their customer and not put expired items on the shelves but to no avail. Which is the reason I have to leave this review here to caution others so they don’t end up feeding their young children expired items like I did.

I went here last week and found it pretty good for Pakistani grocery, The meat here is outstanding. You can get fresh chicken with bones and boneless. You can get beef and mutton with a selection of different parts. The shop contains already packed meat and you can order meat parts of your choice as well. Other than the meat you can find all the grocery items of your choice.

It was the first store I stopped by after my move to DC, most of my favorite goods and foods I found them hereMy advice is the store needs more room for it to grow, and better organization

The customer services is back home attitude. They are very rude, no respect for the clients and they are not friendly. I picked a can of beef from the shelf with the price tag of $2.69. The machine rang $2.99. After I went with the cashier several times to check the price, she told me it was a wrong product under wrong price. and they do not have the can of $ 2.69. other competitors will reduce the price, give it to the client for free or at least apologize for the inconvenient. Reluctantly, she reduced the price and instead of apologizing she bragged that she gave me 20 cent discount ! In addition, I had hard time to find things, No body in the store knows where was the products. We spend too much money in the store , we expect better customer services. They are living back home attitude and can not change.

The prices are much better than the Mediterranean bakery. Fair prices. The only problem is that MOST items do not have prices on them. Which really made me think twice before buying anything. They do have halal meat and bacon which is great.

Products dont have price tags , the ones that have tags are priced incorrectly, they need to work on organizing their items and the cashiers should learn to be professional and polite. Don’t recommend the place.

Review №26

Poor customer service and rude employees. They charged me for an extra item I did not buy. Not all items on the stands have price tags on, and if they do have, then you will be surpised that they are different once you are at the cashier. Tried to call them and their phone number does not work properly. This is the last time i go there.

Om
Review №27

The lane was too long, only 1 cashier was working, the need to hire more employees, looks like they are trying to save some money. A lot of products don’t have prices, you have to ask someone which is hard to find in the store. Wast of time

This place has significantly improved overtime. It certainly is your one-stop shop for all of your middle eastern groceries and inventory. The have it all, including fresh meet at the in-house butcher shop. And I must say compared to other similar shops, the price indeed fair.The only issue is that things can get chaotic at the butcher shop or at the cashier lanes. They still need to manage lines a bit better.

Review №48

They sadly sell Israeli goods and do not care for the Palestine cause. I did tall to them a few times yet, they dont stop. They are getting better. But until they remove the Israeli goods, they will have one star.Aside from this, I really love thus place. I did talk to the owner and the manager and it seems unimportant to them. The cashiers are very nice and friendly to the regulars. Hate to see items with no prices on them. Also, their prices have really gone up around COVID-19. But same items are still same price at the two other competitors.

Update 5/12/2018: Today we went there, and it already got renovated, and it now looks like a modern supermarket with multiple checkout lines and automatic door!Great place to buy international food. Turkish, Lebanese, Indian, Moroccan, Egyptian, and other Mediterranean originated groceries and snacks. The only issue is the consistency. We bought a big bottle of olive oil which we loved, but then that product disappeared from the shelves completely. Still no sign of it. Also the store entrance looks like a crime scene, not very welcoming.

Fun store with unique foods from the greater Middle East region. Their butcher counter is always buzzing with customers patiently waiting to place their special request. Great place to pick up authentic pita. I recommend browsing the store. Would give more stars if store was cleaner, easier to shop and the people working there were a bit friendlier :)

Butchers on site so you can get fresh meat or request your portions and meat for whatever dish you plan to make; kebab, tikka, minced meat chicken, lamb or beef. You can fine Quality Street chocolates and a variety of yummy Middle Eastern cookies. They are not so good with making pricing of items visible and always a long line at the cashier.

Very bad place dishonest, rude, and thieves ,We sold them products since 7/12 and every week a manger named Khaled says he will send us the check by mail and until now we did not receive nothing from them and now his female manger hangs the phone in our face every time we call to ask for the money if I can give them less than one star I would .This is should not be the attitude of a Muslim manShame on you and shame on your business

Pros —-The store has tremendously been improved from the past it is a much bigger place. Its neat, well lit and you can find pretty much whatever you want as far as Indian Pakistani and middle eastern food or concerned.Cons —- The parking sucks totally and you have to fight for it. Sometimes the people are rude and they just stand in the middle of the parking lot socializing without having any consideration for the people who are trying to come in and park their cars.And the entrance to the store is horrible it looks Ghetto and extremely criminal. the glass doors have cracks in it and the Front is extremely dirty. Very very on inviting so if you can ignore the front crime scene you will be pleasantly surprised!The meat section is another story —- the butchers sometimes can be very rude and the wait is very long even when you call in for your order.Pricing is average nothing to be excited about Owner is courteous but if you complain about something he can be very defensive
