We had a nice visit to Etminan Market. We had walked by there a few weeks ago, noticing that they…read morehad a BBQ setup. The owner let us know that they BBQ kabobs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We came for an early dinner on a Friday night. We both ordered the kabob combination plate, which was around $23. It comes with a chicken kabob, a beef kabob, and a couple of bbq-ed tomatoes over rice. It was fun to sit outside and watch as our dinner was being cooked. The woman owner also came by, and brought us some sumac to add to our cooked meat, and also a couple of complimentary cookies. It was a really nice experience. Felt very much like I was at a family barbecue, sitting outside and watching the owner grill meat. This market has an interesting selection of Middle Eastern foodstuffs, and I would come back if I were going to pick up some meat for my own barbecues at home. I also saw they had sandwiches and other deli items during the week as well.

I've been going to this market since last year for when I need ingredients for Persian cooking. The…read moreemployees are sweet and polite. It seems like there are usually just a couple of people manning the store so they're often in different sections, but if they see that you're waiting at the checkout line or butcher section then they'll make their way over quickly. The store is small, clean, cozy, easy to navigate. Everything is in place and well-organized. So far all of the products I've bought from here (spices, veggies, meat) have been of good quality: nothing moldy, old, or containing bugs (this happened to me at some other stores). A final thing to add, since it was a holiday (4th of July), I made sure to call in beforehand to make sure that they are open. They answered promptly and politely, they let me know that they're open until 2 PM.

I have a real problem, I cannot stop coming back to International Food Bazaar and at this point I…read morehave fully accepted it!!! This place has been a San Jose staple for years and has been my go-to main supermarket for as long as I can remember. The selection covers everything you could possibly need, from international products to everyday household essentials all under one roof, the kind of variety that makes any other grocery store feel incomplete. What keeps me coming back just as much as the products is the staff. Many of them have been there for years, always friendly, always consistent, always making you feel genuinely welcomed. That kind of familiarity and warmth is something you just cannot put a price on. You come in for groceries and leave feeling like you just visited old friends. This Food Bazaar is a true San Jose international community treasure and deserves every bit of loyalty it has earned over the years. Highly recommend making it your regular stop, you won't regret it

They have amazing selection of spices, meats, breads, produce and more. The shelves are neatly organized. I love the fresh pita bread and lavash that they sell. I found my favorite brand of grape leaves. I also found the pomegranate syrup I needed and the orange blossom water for my Basbousa. They had a nice selection of fillo dough. My favorite brand is the Apollo fillo dough. I got a few boxes of that for my Armenian Paklava. And I couldn't leave without getting some fresh bread. I talked with Eddie, the owner, for a bit. He's so kind and if there's something you can't find, he'll help you get it. It's always a pleasure shopping here. They have the best international food items and excellent customer service. I highly recommend checking it out.

Where they could improve is the approach to selling expired products and also removing the expiry dates. When I showed them that multiple items were expired the cashier said they will be removing the expiry dates due to a California law. There is no law that says expiry dates need to be removed. There are sell by dates. But to say that expiry dates are not relevant is rather strange. Most Indians in the neighborhood are aware of this being the situation with the store and avoid it. If the manager can stop removing expiry dates and also keep only unexpired inventory more folks will start shopping there instead of other nearby Indian grocery stores.
