My friend got the soondubu jigae that tasted delicious. It felt like something your mom would make homemade. I got the kimchi jigae that was very spicy and very good. Next time I really want to try the bulgogi deupbap. The market itself has a huge selection of items from produce, meats, and seafoods. The meats section was my favorite. You can't find the cuts they have most places. And then of course all the snacks.

Owner is a nice guy and always very helpful and chatty with his customers. Today I came in and saw fresh mango with chili available, so I picked up some. There was also papaya salad in the fridge, so I grabbed one of those too! The sliced mango with chili was $5.50 and the papaya salad was $7.95 and both were excellent! I also picked up some incense sticks, vermicelli, some Asian drinks including pennywort and Mr Brown coffee, preserved plums, and soy sauce. I was disappointed that no buffet style food was available and I guess they may not serve it on Sundays but hoping to try some next time I am back. I love this place as they have so many ready items and most have been very good! Give this place a try, you might just like it as much as I do!

Now I am a fan of Whole Foods. The staff are friendly and professional. The prepared Foods are super fresh. WF is clearly a place you can loose time if you are not careful. While there is not one close to me, I will periodically make a trip. I did sample several of there prepared items. The London Broil, turkey meatloaf, and grilled sweet potatoes are my favorite so far. London Broil had a great cook and color on it. Charred Sweet potatoes were fresh and not too sweet. Charred brussel sprouts were filling. The glaze on the turkey meatloaf was fantastic. The meatballs were flavorful as well. I look forward to my next visit.

I live next door and one day I was looked out of my apartment without shoes (I had socks) or my phone. A woman very nicely let me use the store phone to call my husband and let me wait for him inside.

I think so far, I am satisfied with the variety of foods and snacks offered, but be prepared for the bill to reflect the purchases, because I spent over $40 in less than five minutes and didn't even buy any meat! The owner is very nice as is the young man who stocks the shelves (I am sure he does other things too...). I was advised that I can call one day ahead and get fresh meat and if I purchase in arrival the meat will be frozen. Good to know!

They also offer a decent selection of vegetables for the Indian kitchen and boxes of mangos of course. The selection of Indian hair care products (e.g., henna) is unmatched in the DMV. If you need henna, go here. Why pay $20 at Whole Foods when you can get great Indian/Pakistani brands for under $5. The proprietor is particularly helpful and friendly and brings in all the good henna brands. I usually stock up and send out to friends. Friendliness by the store owner, a great stock of foods that make any Indian/Pakistani go "Aaaaah", and the henna are what keep me coming back here.

I saw a couple of pics of the food, and it looked hearty enough to replenish my salt levels and make me a functioning human again. Little did I know I was about to order from one of the most amazing Persian spots in town. I can't speak to the ambiance since my I dined on my couch. From what I can tell, it's actually a Persian market with a kitchen inside. When my food arrived, I was greeted by a wide flat box nicely packed in a fancy plastic bag. Honestly, it felt less like takeout and more like a gift. This had to be some of the best takeout packaging I've ever seen and the unboxing was as satisfying as opening a new iPhone. Inside was my koobideh platter, a side of Shirazi salad, and a heaping side of yogurt sauce. They even included nice utensils, a napkin, and a packet of sumac to sprinkle on the kabob. After a few minutes of staring at my food in awe, I finally dug in. The platter came with two skewers of koobideh. They had a nice bouncy texture and were juicy with excellent flavor. It also came with a 1/4 grilled onion, a whole grilled tomato cut in half, and a whole grilled jalapeño, all on top of a bed of fluffy saffron basmati rice. They even tucked a pat of butter in with the rice. Everything was perfect! I love Persian kabobs, but I don't get them very often. They can be expensive, and some restaurants (I won't name them) are very skimpy with portions. Gourmet Bazaar restored my faith that there are still places that give you your money's worth. I will 100% be returning, and I highly recommend them to everyone.

Then visually, everything spoke to me, from the displays of imported products, to the cases of nuts in copper bowls, to the freshly prepared take home hot & cold foods at the food order counter to all the varieties of any kind of Mediterranean foods you can think of stocked within all the aisles. And did I mention the pastry counter? OMG, I was in heaven & how did I not know about this place? We came to order a take home dinner after a class we were taking and wanted to try the chicken kabob dinner. We found our way to the order counter despite my obvious distraction of everything around me. Everything on the menu looked SO good and the items in the display case were looking yummy. They had many varieties of Pinsa on display & they were tempting, but we were there for kabobs first. Judging the store/takeout by this simple dish, but very important. They have everything from traditional Persian meals, but also flatbread "pizza" called Pinsa, cheesesteaks etc. I also have been searching for Fesenjan as my usual stop has disappointedly changed the recipe. I inquired if they have it and they DO! The wonderful counter lady offered me a sample & I quickly said, Yes and it was YUMMY!! Just with that, I grew more excited. We decided to also purchase 3 different Baklava from the pastry counter (2 walnut types & 1 Pistachio). When our food was ready, we were handed this HUGE bag, for 2 dinners? 2 almost pizza boxes were in the bag and it was heavy. I kept telling my husband, are you sure this is ours? When we got home I couldn't wait to see what's inside the box. I have NEVER seen such a well packaged take home set up. Food was perfectly presented within the box as well as once we opened the lids, nothing moved. I'm still in awe & appreciate the high level of care in creating the packaging. Shows care for the food & customers. What I didn't expect & great surprise was receiving Shirazi salad and Mast-O-Khiar with our entree order. ALL the food was EXCELLENT, good portion value. I will say the Pistachio baklava was my favorite, but the other walnut baklava was also very good, I would even say THE BEST I've ever had and I've had many from almost everywhere my entire life. Please note that store hours are hour longer than kitchen hours. We just made it before kitchen closed at 8p, which we did not realize. The store looked clean, nicely stocked, very friendly staff and what I could see of the kitchen also clean & orderly. Truly a fantastic experience.
