Q Market in the San Fernando Valley (corner of Vanowen and Louise) is convenient if you're looking…read morefor solid halal meat and Persian/Middle Eastern specialty items. They carry a wide variety of unique products you won't easily find at typical grocery stores, making it a really convenient stop for anyone cooking traditional dishes or looking to try something new. The butchers are definitely the standout! They are consistently kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. Whether you need a specific cut or have questions, they take their time and provide excellent service. It really adds a personal touch that is hard to find these days. The cashiers are also very friendly and welcoming, which makes the overal experience even more pleasant. The store itself is well stocked and has a nice selection of spices, pantry staples, and speciaty items that reflect a wide range of Persian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Prices are generally reasonable, especially considering the quality. The only slight downside is the produce section. It's okay, but not as fresh as one would expect compared to the rest of the store. With a bit more attention there, this place could easily be a one stop shop for me. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood market with great service, excellent halal meat and a strong selection of specialty goods. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

I have lived in the neighborhood for about 6 years and frequently visit this Persian/Middle Eastern…read moremarket. I am a native and though I am not familiar with most the items in the store, I feel they have the freshest chicken and salmon filet have ever purchased. The veggies appear to be local and some of them are smaller than what you would buy in a chain store though I have no issues with that. The flat breads are fresh and also amazing! I am going to suggest something I hope management will at least read. I feel we all need to reduce our carbon footprint and I am concerned with all the plastic bags this store uses. Every item from the butcher section is first packaged in butcher paper then put into a plastic bag. If plastic must be used, I suggest implementing the use of biodegradable, compostable bags like most of the other chain grocery stores have implemented. Needless to say, I also bring my own outer bags. I also don't see the store charging for the outer plastic bags like most of the chain stores have implemented. Perhaps if they did, more people might bring in their reusable bags? Just some suggestions to help save our earth.

The interior decor is a bit outdated, and it's a bit cramped. I cannot for the life of me fathom what would cause it, but there is a distinct odor from the place itself. It doesn't prevent me from enjoying my meal, but it is pretty strong. Also, the unfortunate location of the place which is near a 7-Eleven and near a major crossing street, just made the experience a bit unnerving. You see homeless folks (or unhoused, if you want to be politically correct) lounging around, and you're left to wonder when the next riot or zombie outbreak will happen. Otherwise, the food is great, it felt like home and pretty delicious. It was packed with flavor, albeit the price is a bit steep. I have no other issue with the place, I think it deserves its fair share.

So I wanted to have a few friends come over with their kids on Sunday so they could play and we could watch football. I decided to hop on the grill, grab some drinks and make it a fun little day for everyone. I checked to see if my normal butcher spot was open but to my surprise it was permanently shut down. So I decided to look for a place nearby and came across Danny's Fresh Meat produce right around the corner from me. So I hop in the car and head over! It's in the same parking lot as Salsa and Beer so finding a park is always tough especially on a weekend. That parking lot is a nightmare but once you get a park it's all good. I walked in and it's a very small shop with a cashier in the front, two small isles of produce and meat in the back. It seems like it's all locals because everyone was talking to, who I assume was Danny, in the back working with the guys cutting up the meat. When it came to my turn, I told him I'd never been here so he explained what they do, how they cut the meat, the type of meats they have and that he's been there for 30 years! He is an extremely nice and helpful Armenian guy who has completely won me over. There are a few local places I love supporting in my community and he'll definitely be one of them. The place was very clean and organized. There wasn't a lot of produce but just enough to get your essentials. As for the meat, I picked up a pound and a half of beef loin tenderloin steak at $25.99 a pound and two pounds of marinated chicken breast cut in half's. He told me the steak would melt in my mouth and he told no lies!! The steak was so tender and everyone was asking where I got it from. He made sure to let me know he can slice it up any which way I needed it to be. Overall, Danny's is the perfect spot to grab some local produce and meat if you want to support your local businesses. It always feels good helping out people in your community. Beware of the parking though. 5 out of 5 Afros OOOOO

I parked and walked in the store and found out that there is a counter along one wall where you could order BBQ. I ordered a Brisket Burrito and I was asked if I wanted BBQ sauce with it. I should not have said "no". I bet my burrito would taste so much better with it. Without it, my Brisket Burrito is still good. The brisket was tender, juicy, smoky, perfectly seasoned. You could order trays of various BBQ in large amounts too. The person behind the counter suggested I call ahead to minimize the wait. I made the mistake one day of going without calling. I came in the afternoon, too late for lunch and too early for most diners, and found out the BBQ counter closed. Nooo!!!!!! I was counting on a tray of this as my dinner contribution. Lessons learned. By the way, free parking in their lot.
