Three stars for the international snack safari I apparently signed up for. I did the classic move where you walk every single aisle like you're studying abroad for snacks. Somewhere along the journey I became determined to find the deli olives that were on sale... but could not for the life of me figure out which counter they belonged to. I also didn't want to interrupt anyone because the place was busy, so instead I just wandered around looking suspiciously like someone casing the olive situation. That said, I was shocked at how much I ended up with for how little I paid. Organic tahini, Biscoff cookies (obviously), a few pickled items, some produce... somehow my cart kept filling up while my total stayed reasonable. I also realized halfway through that I should have bought a kettle here instead of the one I recently purchased elsewhere. Regrets. I was definitely a busy day at the market with lots of interesting stuff, especially if you like foods a little outside the norm. It's a bit out of my way for regular trips, but I could see myself swinging back through on Wednesdays for the deals... and possibly finishing my olive investigation. read more

I was told about Baiz 20th street location years ago by a coworker who brought in their baklava. I went and enjoyed small Middle Eastern market. Awhile back they came to mind to discover they opened a larger market over near me. In reality I'm close to either but the big store I luv. They house a restaurant that makes fresh Middle Eastern bread. Baklava bar that is insanely good, and their butcher bar is amazing including Hilal meats (research Hilal meat better than how our American meat is processed). Hilal is like Kosher in that it is a religious way they render their meats. Back to the review they added an olive bar and I'm a green Olive fanatic. Try the grilled green olives if you go and you'll get your life. Produce is fresh and reasonably priced. It services middle eastern and African cuisine ingredients primarily but it is a really nice market. Fluffy Grandma recommends. read more

Their restaurant food is absolutely disgusting and the customer service is horrible. Never again!!!!

I had never heard of this grocer before. I saw it was an international food store. That piqued my interest so I went in to investigate. The staff were welcoming and acknowledged me upon entry. I was intrigued by the different and unique spices; some from India and some Mediterranean brands. If you want a bargain on spices this is a good place to visit. I couldn't remember what I needed so another future trip might be worthwhile. Shared outdoor parking and WiFi. read more

I love this place however it's far for me! They always have very fresh vegetables that I need!

Restaurant part of the shop has bad food and really bad service. We all got bad food poisoning. Never again. Would definitely not recommend.

Felt cheated. My wife ordered 2 skewers of chicken kabob for me. Being a vegetarian herself, she just brought it home without opening. There was only 1 in there. Never going back. read more

Love shopping at this place! I get 80% of my groceries from here. Quality food and low prices!

On one hand, this location isn't as fancy, well-lit, and sprawling as their other location out in Mesa. But on the other hand, they have the same good selection and prices, and most importantly, they now have an in-house oven churning out $1 fresh, hot miniature breads on the spot, which instantly brings it up to 5* in my book. read more

Baiz is a great Middle Eastern market! This location is on my commute to and from work, so I stop by every month or so to buy goods. I like their bulk rice, cookies, spices, bread, frozen and refrigerated items, and dry goods. Lots of variety and they have sales every week. The cashiers are always super efficient and friendly. No problem with parking and getting in and out. read more

Well lit, sensibly organized. Nice selection, particularly at the deli. Staff was also helpful and friendly. You know you're in a good shop when there are multiple feta cheese selections at the deli! I'll have to stop by another time to look at all the packaged cheeses - there were a lot of them. The oil-cured olives were great. The kids also liked the produce selection and grabbed a couple of dragonfruits. The date choices were also extensive. All in all, glad I stopped in and I'll be back. read more

Beware when you buy deli meat at this location. They will sell you bad meat and when you call them on it the deli manager Afaf will jump at your throat and make a public scene. Her and her young co worker created a very hostile environment to even shop at this location. What a shame! read more

I found this store not very appealing. Bought tabouli and babaganosh, and both were mediocre. Didn't like their pita bread, either, waaayyy too thin! read more

Beware of the expiry dates - there are a lot of items that are close to expiry date like meat, yoghurt etc. Some import products have a really overpriced tag for example frozen Turkish tortellini filled with beef, 1 lb, for proud $12! That is a rip off. Also the toilets were dirty. All in all there is a weird vibe in this place. Will not come again. The male workers putting the groceries in were unfriendly. No hello or smile when you walk by them. I did read that the spices are pretty cheap with which I agree. Was so excited to come to this grocery market but was disappointed. read more

I ordered catering from the Baiz restaurant for a work party at my home. We ordered chicken shwarma, beef shwarma, rice, hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouli, spinach pies, falafel, fattoush salad. And then the spectacular pistachio baklava from the bakery. I went to Baiz in person to make sure there were no misunderstandings on the order. They got it perfectly. Almost all of the food was fantastic and people raved. I'm not sure I love their spinach pies and I think the fattoush may have been a bit overwhelmed by the generous helping of pita chips, but otherwise it was all near Mediterranean perfection. Their hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouli and garlic sauce are epic! The slimmest guy on our team consumed eight pieces of baklava! Very reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food. Highly recommend! read more

Came here on Saturday to explore. I always consider cleanliness, odor, and variety when I check out ethnic markets. This market was decently clean, nothing glaringly dirty. The display was not aesthetically pleasing but functional. I am okay with that. But, the place deserves a solid 4 because it offers hard-to-find items at reasonable prices as the groceries sold here are the staples in middle-eastern cuisine and not "exotic" foods which are marked up. What I will come here to buy: large bottles of grapeseed oil, fresh naan bread (when their bakery starts up), olives, baklava and other pastries by the pound, herbs in bulk (like Fenugreek, Mint, Chives, Arugula, etc.) basmati rice, middle-eastern herbs, nuts, teas, etc. What I will not buy: deli-prepared falafel (tried it and it was not that good), housewares (teapots, kettles, etc.), traditional/mainstream groceries like milk, deli meat, eggs, etc. as the mainstream grocery stories tend to sell these at more reasonable prices and offer fresher products due to the high turnover. read more

I always recommend this place. You can get some good quality food items here without the preservatives if you look. They also have nice serve ware here at a fraction at what you would pay at large stores. Most locations are polite and accommodating. Highly recommend read more

Five stars amazing Super Supermarket, Best quality of food and produce, fresh and reasonable prices. read more

We came to the deli for lunch and it hit the spot! When you walk into the store, the deli is on the right, which is where you'll order your food and any canned or bottled drinks. Further towards the back, they have tables and chairs for your dining pleasure. Bathrooms are in the back, right of the store for your hand washing pleasure. Deciding what to order is always the toughest part. We decided to go vegetarian that day, choosing to split the vegetarian combo, zaatar and veggie pie, spinach and cheese pie, and an eggplant salad. We finished every last bit, full and happy. read more

Baiz Fresh Foods - Vegetarian combo, zaatar and veggie pie, spinach and cheese pie, and eggplant salad. Perfect to split! - International Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I usually get a chicken shawarma sandwich from here and it's my absolute favorite for years! However, aside from the new set up like they're under new management, the sandwich was disgusting (tasted old and barely had any garlic sauce) and the prices were ridiculous for a single sandwich. No longer costumers. read more

I really love the store it's,like going to a store .In the middle east( Ive been to Israel and Egypt).Such incredible foods such choices.Its such tasty wonderfull foods,I'm a vegetarian and they have,soooooó many products LOVEEEEE THEM. read more

There is plenty of parking. When dining, you will have lots of room, and many tables. The store is clean, bright and spacious. A list of specialty foods by name is in another review. It is true. Bring your shopping list when you go. There are also Hillel meats and several varieties of Lamb, chopped meat mixes for Kofta and so on. There are also specialty vegetables. Al Hana is the eatery with in. They would get five stars but they are a little slow in getting the food out. Their Falafel is outstanding. It is wrapped up with herbs (parsley etc.) and that makes it all the better. The dining and shopping experience comes highly recommended. The prices are good. Portions are not overly large. Try it. read more

Always cheap fresh produce and plenty of variety. A hidden gem! I'm grateful to have this store available. Olive oil and pita bread can't be beat! read more

Baiz Fresh Foods - Baklava, pita, and fresh produce. - International Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Their pricing on the menu online is way off. They need to update the menu online. The food is not tasty and it's definitely not worth it.

I just purchased these pastries an hour ago. And they are so stale. They are so hard to bite down on and obviously super old. There is absolutely nothing fresh about this pastry. Very disappointed in what I thought was going to be a treat. Going straight to trash. read more

Great store with fresh produce. Friendly staff and they have a lot of hard to find middle eastern groceries that you just can't find in the big markets. Glad this place exists. Produce is actually better and cheaper than Walmart or Costco which is crazy read more

What a treat it is for the west side of the city that Baiz has established its newest store here! I've been here twice since their soft opening and have been delighted to see so many hard-to-find food items such as sumac, pomegranate molasses, Aleppo peppers, Kashmiri chili and various other spices for Middle-Eastern cooking, uncommon fruit preserves and dried fruits, tannour and other flatbreads, and even South Asian snacks such as nan khatai and pani puri. In addition to a large dry goods / grocery section, there is also a fresh produce area, refrigerated sections for dairy and frozen foods, a fresh meats and processed meats section, and a big counter featuring a spectacular array of Middle-Eastern sweets such as several varieties of baklava, halvah, swart isat, and more. The spacious, spanking clean store also has a restaurant area (Al Hana), like the original store in the east side of the city. Speaking of which, that original store has limited parking but that won't be an issue for this west side branch, as it is located in a big commercial plaza with a huge parking lot. Location of the commercial plaza is convenient: just a block west of the Northern Avenue exit of I-17. read more

We bought fried chicken from and it tasted really pad and had a bad smell and charged us 20$ and it wasnt worth it. I don't recommend anybody to buy chicken from them and I just had to throw the chicken away and buy it from somewhere else read more

First time getting shawarma sandwiches from there and it will be last time. The sandwiches was tasteless.

The deli food is fresh, tasty and and wonderful. The staff extremely friendly. Very bright and open setting to sit down and enjoy the meal

If I could rate it lower I would. I can't believe the population that shops at that grocery accepts the quality of that food. Oh My God and the stench from whatever "mint" bleach cleaner they use. Anyway, it didn't look clean. It didn't taste fresh. It wasn't a restaurant, but just a deli counter inside the supermarket which was misleading. Awful. The worst middle eastern food I've had in the valley. Would not return for any reason nor recommend. However, the supermarket is okay with the expected types of food for that ethnicity. The nice thing is you can buy things in bulk at the supermarket. read more

This place is amazing it has a wonderful deli and a bakery section all of the items are fresh and of high-quality the staff is friendly the butcher is especially nice all of the meat and seems to be well-maintained cared for fresh cut and the meat is Halal and the prices are definitely reasonable you were able to get a great selection of products that you might not find elsewhere it is more of an international grocers which does mean that you can get some some exotic spices but also be able to obtain fresh ground goat meat and also lamb and other wonderful products as wellThere is an especially wonderful Halal beef bacon that I recommend it is fantastic I definitely enjoy it and great glad that these markets do exist there are a couple of buyers markets that are in the Phoenix area read more

Great middle eastern selection. They have a restaurant inside that serves the best food at amazing prices.

If you like to cook ethnic food this is the place to shop for your unique herbs and spices. You can also get fresh meat from the butchery which is a much better choice than the old meat that's sold at a regular grocery store. read more

This was my favorite grocery store until recently. They change hours randomly and don't keep the store as clean as before. Some of the ethnic clique stuff is becoming increasingly unappealing to the indigenous neighborhood. They still have great products but they need to work on customer services and their POS system. read more

I do not even know where to begin with this place... Their bakery counter is my personal heaven. The selection and price is amazing. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the treats I got, because they are not only delicious, they are also gorgeous. The woman behind the counter was so helpful in making recommendations and being patient while I looked over every single tree before deciding. This place is a hidden treasure. I will absolutely get my baklava and desserts here the next time I host a party! In the meantime, I've got to steer clear - as I ate nine pieces under the guise of bringing them home for my family to try. Sorry family... You'll have to wait for the Christmas party!! read more

Now let me start this review off by telling everyone out there that I've only been Muslim for the last three years I reverted during Ramadan three years ago My wife Evy of 14 yrs is from Indonesia so my expertise in Halal food isnt extensive but But before that I wish you wish for 54 years so am I expertise in kosher foods is 59 years so now that I only buy halal foods from me and my family the only place I'll go to and there's a reason is Baiz Market the quality the prices the staff the ownership know exactly how to treat people and realize how impportant their customers are to them not only for today but forever my two favorite people in the store are in a butcher shop and that would be my friend Hassan who is son of the owners Mountana who I have known longer he was the manager at the one on Van Buren the original and of course I know the other son who runs Mesa So for all your Halal needs there's only one place in the valley to go to and it's Baiz and their three locations Central Phoenix Mesa and the one on 27th and northern ALHAMDULILLAH read more

The great poet Rumi said,"holy moley I have no words for how cool Baiz Market is. This is a lot bigger than the original so they can pack in more produce and spices as well as your American food items. Seriously I have no words." They also have an awesome restaurant inside which serves traditional Arab food. Bring your passport. read more
