Avoid Balaji Super Market - Selling Expired Products!…read more I recently visited Balaji Super Market and was shocked to find multiple expired products on their shelves. When I tried to take a video as proof, the owner reacted very rudely instead of addressing the issue. This is unacceptable and a serious health concern. Please check expiration dates carefully if you shop here--or better yet, avoid this store altogether!

It s a bit pricey but OMG, when I made it, the meat was super tender and tasted lovely. They also sell fresh middle-eastern type breads plus I spotted some North African brands too. They also have Labneh (yay!) fresh mint, date vinegar, pomegranate molasses and the list could go on and on - unfortunately the one thing missing that I was looking for was preservative-free tahini. It was super busy when I happened to chance by on the Sunday afternoon but overall super stoked I know where to go for some Arabic food goodies. Yelp Review: 11/2017

Overall, it's a convenient spot if you're looking for specific items, but the shopping experience could definitely be improved.

UPDATED REVIEW : it's been a while since I have been in here but my husband and I came in for lunch…read moretoday to grab some shawarmas because I have been craving them for a long time now and they were absolutely AMAZING. Still by far my absolute favorite shawarma I've ever had. The meat is so tender and flavorful. The array of pickled veggies was delicious. The fries were great as well! However let's talk about the greatest aspect of this store and it is the hospitality. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and treated as if we were family or knew these people our whole lives. You don't find that in many stores nowadays but Madina Market has had exceptional hospitality from day 1. The store itself is very well stocked, has a vast array of items, fresh produce, beautiful fresh halal meat and the eat in diner attached. I found green plums today for the first time in 26 years that I've been living in America! I can't wait to make a tkemali sauce with the plums now. All in all, this is a great store with the most WONDERFUL people working there and the absolute best shawarmas I've ever had. I'll be back next week for more! Original review from March 18,2021 : Today was my first time coming in to Madina Market & Deli and I am so glad I did! Upon entering, I saw that it was a pretty decent sized store with lots of options for every persons desires. The butcher came up to me to see if I needed any help and he was such a pleasant person to talk to. He walked me through their meat options and what each item was. Their meat is halal so you already know it's going to taste better and be more tender and CLEAN as opposed to regular store bought meat from a large supermarket. They have a small section with some fresh made sweets like baklava (highly recommend) and meat filled pastries and shawarma wraps and even fresh house made falafel! They also have fresh olives and baba ganoush (eggplant dip). I ended up purchasing some meat (which was very fair priced!), baba ganoush, some sweets and meat pastries and shawarma along with some other bits and ends here and there that I've never had before and wanted to try and I just want to say WOW. Everything was absolutely delicious and I will DEFINITELY be coming back. The owner and his wife were SUCH a pleasure to talk to and were SO SO sweet. The store was very clean and just had a nice atmosphere to it. Dont be afraid to ask questions if you want a better explanation of what something is in the store since not all of it is common Memphis food. The staff will be more than happy to help you out and tell you all about the stuff. I had a fabulous first experience at Madina Market and I already can't wait to go back. If you go, definitely grab one of the chicken shawarma wraps! Best I've had!

Maybe it's two brothers who came together as entrepreneurs and one runs the gas station and the other the store? Or maybe it's more mundane and just a business person who wasn't happy with the other Indian grocery stores in town and so decided to open his own? Anyway, my back-stories aside, I stopped here one evening as I needed to do some emergency Indian shopping and this place was located en route to my home. Everything is really well labeled and nicely stocked and the folks running the store were super friendly! I also saw a lot of veggies that I hadn't seen in the other stores (like raw jackfruit) and they also had a great selection of Indian sweets and fresh snacks like Samosas and Dhokla too! I purchased goat from here but it wasn't as tender as the one I got from the Lebanese shop. Still overall I'm glad I have another option for Indian grocery shopping in Memphis! Yelp Review: 20/2017

We saw the Mediterranean bakery closed at 9 and we didn't want them to close. We decided against Maria's and just went to get some falafel.

I said all of that to say this...The falafel sandwich (plus the side of falafel) was the best and freshest falafel we have ever had, it was amazing. Also, even though the employee knew we were there after the kitchen closed, he never said a word about it and made our order without a problem, we would have never ordered from the kitchen if we knew it was closed.
