FINALLY -- A halal grocery/ meat shop in Vallejo!!! This is…read morean all new grocery store in the heart of vallejo that is two years in the making. They have a full display of all types of meat in all different cuts. They store was very clean and all of the staff and owners greeted me and helped me find everything that I need. They have lots of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spices, foods and drinks all fresh and in stock. They also have Middle Eastern and Islamic housewares for sale near the register. The store is large and well lit. This is one of the BEST halal groceries I have been in, even including the ones in SoCal. The meat I ordered was very fresh and well priced, even better than Safeway prices. All in all I highly recommend this grocery store and I am so glad that we got one on this side of the bridge.

Today was my first time trying this place and I have 0 complaints!…read moreThe environment is extremely clean as soon as you enter. I got the chicken shawarma plate and it was amazing. The flavors are so rich to the point where each bite is packed with flavor. The service was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly. The red hot sauce and yogurt garlic sauce blew my mind--it's extremely complimentary to the food. I will definitely be returning to try the shawarma sandwich

The owner (?) seemed nice!

I got an assortment of Turkish delight and some pistachio baklava ($2.99). The Turkish delight is sold by weight across all the varieties and goes for $16.99/lb. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and offered us a sample of one of the flavors to try which I thought was a nice gesture. Everything looked so good, so we picked a couple different pieces of Turkish delight to try. To my surprise, my favorite ended up being the saffron, though rose petal with pomegranate and sour cherry with pastachio were close seconds. I didn't like the coconut or the chocolate one that much, so reminder to myself to skip those next time. After picking up the dessert, I did a quick circle around the store to see what they had. It's not a big store but they manage to cram a lot of stuff into the limited space!

The café bartenders are always kind -- once they even let me use the bathroom before I realized the laundromat had one. I've ordered a beer while waiting for my clothes to dry and was welcomed to sit with my dog on the back patio. The atmosphere is warm and accommodating. The market itself is a treasure trove: shelves filled with Middle Eastern dry goods, nuts, dried fruits, spices, blends, and condiments you can't find anywhere else. Kofta, shish kebab, falafel, sumac, garam masala -- it's all here. They also carry pita, lavash, labna, and other breads and yogurts that make cooking from scratch feel like heaven. Bonus points for the large assortments of delicious house made baklavas! Even without a full kitchen, the prepared foods are excellent. I ordered falafel, eggplant dip, hummus, and cucumber salad from the to‑go counter -- a mini feast for $26 that didn't disappoint. **Verdict:** Courteous service, respectful staff, and a fantastic selection. Whether you're cooking at home or grabbing a bite, this place is a gem. Highly recommended.

I have had good service from the people working there except for one older man who I think is the owner. Every time he is working there he is very grumpy looking and he glares at me like he doesn't want me there or something. I usually just ignore it, but the last time I went there he was extremely RUDE and disrespectful. I left without buying my items and I will never go back. I noticed there was another customer commenting here who noticed the same thing about this man when he shopped there. He should not be working in customer service.

I discovered Apna Bazaar about a year ago when I was looking for a place to find some Indian…read morespices and Middle Eastern ingredients. My first visit when I needed help Irene was quick to come over and showed me where the pickled turnips were. I felt quite welcome. My second visit a few weeks later I found the garam masala easily but had difficulty finding a couple of other herbs so asked the gentleman up front for assistance and he was most gracious. He found one easily but the other was a bit more difficult. He told me to finish my shopping as he searched and sure enough, a few minutes later he came over to me and gave me the Asafoetida. At checkout I mentioned that I had just gotten into Indian cinema and loved Aamir Khan, two of his films, PK and Laal Singh Chaddha (An Indian remake of Forrest Gump that was portrayed so brilliantly by Aamir Khan.) being some of my favorites. He then wrote down the name of another film for me to enjoy. And today I visited again and got everything I needed ( I love those MTR Minute meals! Just pop the packet in boiling water and in 5 minutes a delicious meal for when I am too tired to cook.) and checked out. My bag was a bit heavy and as soon as I paid Irene, she was up front today, picked it up and said she'd bring it to my car. (These days I am having mobility issues and use a cane.) I am sorry others have had a bad experience but for me I love this place. I have always gotten great service and love the selection. And I am not one to write reviews, I've written less than 10 on Yelp. Many thanks to Apna, and thank you Irene. :-) I hope I spelled your name correctly.

Diamond in the rough. Excellent halal meats and all your grocery needs at one stop…read more We bought some goat meat. It was cut well to order and fresh.

Great market selection, which we perused while waiting for our food. We got home before looking at the food, and that was our second mistake. We have eaten gyros and shawarma and kebabs and falafel in different countries. This was just... abysmal. The gyro slivers were paper thin and had obviously been cooked/fried multiple times before. The falafel also had a super hard exterior and a dry interior, so it wasn't fresh either. We were told the plates include fries and a salad. The fries turned out to be dry rice, and the amount of "salad" fits on a tablespoon. Beyond disappointing. Great market, but I had better and more flavorful cooked food during my stay at Kaiser hospital.
