    Tashkent Supermarket Halal Food - Lamb Plov: $9.99 per pound; $19.78 for "small" container containing 1.98 lb of food

    Tashkent is an excellent place to do food shopping. The produce is consistently fresh,…read morehigh-quality, but still cheaper than the nearby supermarket chains. I won't get my onions, bell peppers, or cucumbers anywhere else, and their satsuma mandarins are also a great find. The meat selection is excellent as well and very fresh. The hot food bar is always worth a stop. Their plov (beef or lamb) is a great deal at $9.99/lb, and the meat is unbelievably tender and flavorful. It often runs out later in the day. The samsa are massive, flaky, and come stuffed with pumpkin, beef, lamb, or chicken. The manti and bilyash are also fantastic. You really can't go wrong with any of the prepared foods. They also carry a wide variety of Central Asian and Eastern European groceries, including seasonings, teas, sweets, pickled vegetables, honey, and more. The bread selection is another highlight, with fresh Uzbek non or lepeshka. The space itself is pretty small and cramped, so it feels more like a quick "grab what you need and go" kind of store rather than a place to casually browse. A line of only a few people can stretch to the back, but the cashiers do a great job keeping things moving. Tashkent also recently opened a location in Manhattan that I checked out, and it's a larger space with even more selection.

    Turkiyem Market - Does anyone have an idea what's hanging from the ceiling?

    Best Turkish supermarket in western Queens. OH, THE ONLY…read moreTURKISH SUPERMARKET IN WESTERN QUEENS? Okay, slightly kidding since it's the size of two bodegas, and Sunny grocery on 43rd (a block away) is also a Turkish grocer, and it carries slightly different things. One of the fun things about visiting a foreign city like Istanbul is to go native and visit corner produce stands, grocers (Şok or Migros) or hypermarkets (like Carrefour). What I will do is look at the items, and based on some researched numbers, get an idea for how things are. For example, in Nov 2023 a 500g bag of Caykur Altinbas classic tea is 95 TL. A six pack Pasabahce tea glass set (çay bardak) is 99 while ones from Sahil is 27 at Şok. A bottle of full fat Ayran is 12, a subway ride is about 15 and a breakfast set is about 200. The monthly minimum wage is about 23000, and average rent for a dinky apartment in Zeytinburu is about 16000 TL. The current exchange rate is about 30 TL to 1 USD with an 80% inflation, so you need to hustle to survive on Istanbul money, but as a tourist, you can make out like gangbusters if you stick to domestic products and shop around. So what does that have to do with shopping at Turkiyem? Well, certain useful items are oddly inexpensive due to lower relative pricing in Turkiye, but you just have to think outside the box. For example? The pasabahce 6 pack tea plate for 8 bucks (I think they were like 75 TL)...can you use it as an olive/nut plate for parties? Yes - better than Ikea in most cases. What about the big 500g bag of Caykur loose earl grey for 4.75? Yep. What about that 3.50 jar of Tomato paste? High quality and much cheaper than Concertina, stick it in an ice tray, freeze and ziplock bag it up. The olive bar here? Cheaper than Parrot foods and just as decent. Same goes for Turkish Olive oil - same or higher quality than Italian without the markup. Of course, not everything is well priced. That 2 lb bag of Reis red lentils (Turkish brand, Kazakh lentils) is 6 bucks. Go to Patel Brothers in JH and it's 5 bucks for a 4 lb bag of Canadian lentils, which tastes the same in Turkish lentil soup). Arborio rice too difficult to find? Use Baldo (it's a Turkish hybrid for making Pilaf), but don't pay 6 bucks for a 2 lb Reis bag here - go to Mediterranean Foods in Astoria and look for the Krinos brand, which is often around 5. But what is this place really good for? Well, it's a good one stop shop for Turkish items but minus a few things. For example, if you want Tulumba (Turkish honey glazed churro nuggets), that's Sunny on 43rd, and the good stuff is at A&D Turkish market in Bay Ridge. Want great Baklava? Antepli in Bay Ridge. If you want single serving Kahramaras style Dondurma (Turkish ice cream) which is freaking delicious served with Turkish tea and baklava? Grand Bazaar in Cliffside park. In terms of Turkish markets It's not nearly as big as Istanbul Food Pazaar in Clifton (NJ) or Portokali Market in Sheepshead Bay, or even Nizaam in Cliffside Park, but you know what? If you want pre-packaged Moda Dondurma sliced up and ready to go in Queens? Check the freezer here. Want a crapload of dried mint at a reasonable price but without the stems, or Aleppo peppers for lentil soup without paying the absurd markups at Sahadi's? Pul Biber, check the spice aisle. Hell, they even got multiple varieties of dried peppers hanging on the ceiling and more spices and teas than you know what to do with. It's just as much fun to browse as Parrot Foods on Sunnyside, and you can chat with the Butcher and get tips on cooking. Yeah, some places are cheaper or have more stuff, but often, they win out on convenience. If I have a Zipcar for the weekend and don't mind driving to NJ, I'll head to the big Turkish markets and maybe get something really Turkish, like Beyran soup from Gaziantep on the other side of the Hudson. Otherwise I drop by here for small culinary reminders of Istanbul. So yeah, stop by. I do that once a month. Oh yeah, can someone tell the owner to install a few price validators? They don't mark most of their items so the pricing is always an educated guess. Considering that it's all in their system, might as well have something that tell the customers how much they are...

    This is my go to place for spices and if I need to find herbal tea. Their cheese, yogurt, milk ,…read morebeverages and frozen section is without prices. I bought philo dough with price $3.75 at the register was charged $4.50 when I showed them the price sticker they reimbursed me but it's not the first time. It's overstocked and would suggest you check for expectation dates on products and prices before you buy. They sale spices, halal meet, baklava and herbal teas. I wish there was someone who can explain some of the products.

    G Mart opened recently in Jackson Heights though I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what the "G"…read morestands for (Good? Gracious? Great?) but it is very convenient if you're getting off the train at the Jackson Heights stop. It looks very much like they took an old warehouse sized space and converted it into a clean looking market. There market has two levels, a primary level where you'll find most of the goods including produce, dry goods and even a small housewares section towards the back. Step up a couple of stairs from the produce section and you'll be in the seafood section. The market was very neat and organized and it looked very clean. All that said, do not expect a ton of selection here. Their brand diversity was fairly limited which is no big surprise given the relatively small space for a supermarket. From what I saw the prices here were average and not particularly expensive or cheap. If you're in the area this is a good spot to grab some groceries. You may not have the widest selection available to you, but it will do in a pinch!

    The past few years of Woodside has seen an influx of Asian businesses, some of them in the form of…read more99 cent stores, eateries, and in the case of G mart, supermarkets. Is it a knock off of H-Mart? Maybe. Is it better than making the trip to Flushing or perhaps Elmhurst? That really depends. By no means is this a destination worthy grocery shopping experience. However, for Woodside residents in a pinch and in need of some Chinese produce, seafood selection, and imported snacks, this place works. The selection isn't going to wow any seasoned shopper in these parts, but it has all the basic areas taken care of. It's also a little bigger than it looks from the outside. In any other western supermarket, this would be a C-Town or Key Foods, but what they have is comparable to things I'd find out in semi-nearby Elmhurst. The meat selection / butcher area has some pretty solid prices for beef bones, shanks, and organ meats. I also think the seafood section and the slabs of fish they have daily is somewhat impressive given how light it is crowd wise. Their produce feels limited, but I think it's better to look in the morning for things like watercress, snowpeas, etc, before it runs out. Overall, I think they bring a lot of value to the hood. Not just in terms of affordability, but they do it better than a lot of their nearby competition. Service seems fine overall and I like that the store is clean and organized.
