After visiting OMAC Martial Arts, I wanted to check out more business in the plaza. A lot of new businesses have established themselves in the plaza since I last visited it a few years ago. I spotted Al Marwa Sunrise Supermarket and decided to check it out.
Parking in front of the store is limited, as part of the parking lot had fencing. This store is next door to Popeyes. I managed to find a parking spot fairly close by. i backed my car into in and walked over.
This grocery store is on the smaller side. I liked shopping here. It reminded me of being in Istanbul, frequenting a grocery store similar in size.
I love kafta. This place had both chicken and beef varieties in the frozen section. The beef version is halal. I grabbed a box of chicken ones.
I found bags of pitas by Bread and Salt. They were soft. I got a bag.
It was wonderful seeing Turkish tea. I saw a bunch of sauces for kebabs, burgers, and more.
The meat department has a lot of halal options. If you are pressed for time, you can get marinated meats for your kebab and cooking needs.
This store doesn't have a ton of fresh produce. However, it had dried mango slices. I picked up a box.
I found various seasonings, and flavour and colour enhancers for your food masterpieces. The kofte seasoning appealed to it. It was one of my favourite meals in Istanbul and I'd like to recreate that experience one of these days.
I headed to the checkout area. The woman there was so nice. She saw my dried mango slices and asked if I had had them before. I hadn't, but they looked so good. She said that they got this shipment almost a week ago.
I paid for my goods with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I placed my items in a reusable bag. I'm so glad that I grabbed one from my car. Otherwise, I would have carried them without one because I didn't want to buy a bag.
I wished the woman a great day. She reciprocated. I headed to my car and continued running errands.
The dried mango slices were delicious. They were naturally sweet and were easy to eat. Yummy and addictive!
It was great discovering this gem of a grocery store. I hope to try the kafta soon. I'd also like to come back from baklava and more.
