    A halal supermarket that sells tons of middle eastern products. Their fresh meat is really good and they have a variety of pickles too. They have a small halal gummy candy selection which is good.

    Great folks that do good for the Bay Ridge community. Everything is fresh, best produce. & friendly. I am not middle eastern but it's always fun to try something new & I love their bakery. They donate to the local food bank for in the community to feed all that cannot afford. I feel good shopping there knowing I'm supporting at an establishment that cares & gives back! BRAVO if I could give them 10 stars I would!

    What a supermarket! Walk into Balady Fine foods and you'll think you stepped into Little Beirut or Tehran. This is predominantly a Middle Eastern gourmet market with a massive variety of everything. When I entered, the beautiful fresh produce on display offered a nice welcome but as I explored farther into the store, there was so much more. And talk about dates (which I love), there were so many varieties!! Here are some of the finds: spices, meat, coffee/tea, candy/cookies/crackers/chocolate from the Middle East/international, unique beverages, frozen items, olive bar, food with the Balady brand, international items including products packaged in another language (which I find charming). I felt like a kid in a candy store as explored the aisles. I hope my pictures captured some of the essence of this store. As for the butcher section---the meat counter had additional animal parts on display in addition to fresh whole chickens with head still attached. As a lukewarm carnivore, I was taken aback by this and spared Yelp any such pictures. Also keep in mind, you will not find any alcohol for purchase at this store. Nor will you find pork products in the butcher dept. This for obvious reasons according to Islamic restrictions. Since I just bought a few items such as Medjool dates ($6.99 a pound), sesame coated bread (2 large rings for $2.25), a 2 pound bag of lentils ($2.00) and a unique pineapple malt beverage (translation--sweetened sparkling water of which I had to ask someone for more information since the details on the can was not written in English), I can't identify if their prices are considered reasonable or expensive. I don't live in the area and never shopped here. But I liked what I saw. A few things to keep in mind: they have a shopper's club plan, the staff are friendly and helpful, the space is immaculate, they accept credit cards and it's just a delight to even browse. Real nice store.

    Great Place to find what we need. Clean, great customer service. Parking can be an issue at times but not a reflection on the store unless you consider that a lot of the spots are taken up by people who shop here instead of somewhere else.

    I prefer the fresh hummus, but they have loads of both

    Service is good. Store has enough tellers to attend to customers. They even have the convenience of having Western Union in the store.

    Check your receipt before leaving! I bought 2 mangos and got charged for 4. It seems like a strange mistake for the cashier to make.

    I've been receiving Ends Meat's monthly butcher boxes from Table 22 for about 4 months now and…read morethey've definitely forced me to up my cooking game! What began as a search for easy access to high-quality meets, led to my discovery of this butcher. One of the big drawers of patronizing their business is the partnerships they have with sustainable farmers. And you can tell the quality is there. I've had some of the best cuts of meat ever from here (especially their bacon). Some of the items I've received have been: pork loins A half chicken (I wish they left the innards ) Lamb sausage Chorizo (7.5/10) Rib eyes Beef tenderloin (my favorite) Bacons (also my favorite) Spicy chili French butter Mushroom seasoning/rub Bauvette Terrine Prepackaged sausage links (my least favorite, especially the ones with cheese inside) Chicken salad Ham hock And more I would really like to continue this membership, however I'm currently ordering the Deluxe Box (the higher tier) and I'm considering downgrading or pausing because it's definitely a lot to cook over the month. I wish there was an option to select what you want in the box, even if it were the animal, as I LOVE their ground beef and most of their beef products, but don't particularly love some of the sausages and ham items. Also, I believe the membership is advertised as to having monthly recipes, notes and ideas for each of the cuts of meat, but I have yet to see those. Also, I haven't received any priority access to in-shop events or special offers as advertised. Overall, if you or someone you know loves high quality meats and cooking, this is an excellent idea for them.

    My friend and I were looking around for either a lite bite or something to drink post a Yelp event…read more Unfortunately, the kitchen was just closing down around 7pm on a weekday. Not surprised because it's the dead of winter and was a ghost town in Industry City. But the butcher was still open and he ordered some kind of stack of red meat and I purchased a beer from their very extensive craft beer fridge. I think I got a little overly excited because I got something called a Bagel & Schmear from Other Half Brewery and didn't read the description of it being an IPA. I mean, a bagel beer would be special. They do have amazing sounding sandwiches (most are reasonably-ish priced around $17 although it depends on the size of the sandwich amiright?): Porchetta, Steak, Pastrami Melt, Roast Beast, Burgers. I'd definitely have to come back to try something. They also have a fun condiment section and variety of jarred foods selection on the shelves.
