Cashiers are very nice. The grocery has some very good Turkish products. The bakery is average. Prices! This is an expensive market. For example, Cafe Najjar is $16.99 at Istanbul Grand Bazaar. This is more than twice as expensive as it is at Balady in Bay Ridge. I was shocked. For the prices alone I will shop elsewhere.

This is my local supermarket…read more Everyone here seems to be extremely knowledgable about the products. For a supermarket that isn't that big it definitely punches above its weight. It's well stocked with a good variety, especially in the meat department. Special shout outs go to the deli counter, the cashiers, and the stock persons. Everyone I've interacted with has been extremely polite and helpful. It's also helpful that it's literally the first real supermarket that you see when you're driving down Hylan Boulevard.

Staten Island is a black hole of quality Grocery Shopping. The Key Food's make you want to die…read more The Western Beef's are...well...Western Beef's. The Shoprite's are horribly designed and overcrowded. The Path Mark's are like entering the 3rd World and returning without supplies. Finally, we've found this new Met Food's location on Victory in Castleton Corners. And finally we have a Grocery Store that is: -Stocked with fresh produce -Organized and Clean -Priced fair and often cheap -Easy to maneuver around in -Staffed with people that actually work -Abound with goods that are labeled properly and easily read I can't say enough about this Met Food. It opened recently maybe a few months back or so. It's indicative of someone that really took time and effort to lay it out properly and stock it with fresh produce. When I shop for food, clothing or anything else I want it to be pleasant. As Jerry Seinfeld said, "I wanna go in, I wanna get what I need and then I'm gonna get back to my regular life. You see that same person 20 minutes later just struggling. 'What isle is this? I've never been down this isle before.' They start noticing new things. Oh they've got 'em in mesquite flavor now. 'What is mesquite? Wonder if it's made from mosquitos?' Markets, in general, are like casinos...there's no doors, no windows, no easily accessible exits. It's nice to have one that realizes this and aims to make the shopper at ease so he/she can get in and out.

This place has gone downhill. In fact It did a while ago but I held on longer than deserved out of…read morehabit. The deli staff do not listen, are extremely rude and will try to overprice you every chance they get when weighing, all the products are kept in buckets that they then pour into trays on the display, they taste bad half the time.. The rolls and bread are either over baked behind the deli where they reheat them from melone brothers or they're mangled carelessly. Their meat section is stocked with at expiration or expired items, they change the dates to sell. The produce section always stocked with far fresh items. They put large eggs in xl eggs cases and charge you for xl prices. Greedy practices and poor customer service over and over again. I spent hundreds of dollars multiple times a week for many, many years. Think twice before shopping here, I'll definitely never return.

Food: They have daily combo specials. I got the grilled striped bass filet with veggies and can of…read moresoda for $20. We wanted some carb, so we got a side dish of roasted potatoes for $8. We also got a lobster roll $25, combo ($5 extra for French fries and can of soda). Both dishes taste good, but the grilled sea bass is definitely the winner! Service: we were greeted right away when we entered the store. They have seating inside but they also have some seating outside in the back. The guy at the register is super friendly, explained to us what they have as special and made recommendations. We ordered, paid and another server brought our food to the table when it was done. That server was also super friendly. We will definitely come back!

If I could give a zero star, I would. During my recent in-person visit, the employee who directed…read moreme to counter 6 was extremely rude. For instance, when she instructed me to go to counter 1, I explained that I could not do so because of issues I had encountered with that particular cashier on a previous visit. In response, she shouted at me, "WHAT PROBLEM?!" in a manner that attracted the attention of everyone in the store. She later ordered me to "PAY UP" at checkout, which is an improper way to address a customer and a departure from the correct protocol of stating the total amount. When I voiced my concern about her rude behavior, she dismissed my professional concerns as a joke and offered no apology. I chose to cancel the transaction and leave the store. Her aggressive behavior continued over the phone when I requested to speak with a manager.  Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.

The store is fairly large, with a deli section, fresh pasta in both dry and frozen packages, a big cheese selection and other vegetables and cookies. I bought two packages of tortellini, two packages of gnocchi and two packages of angel hair pasta. I've only used one tortellini and one gnocchi so far, but both have been very good. The difference in taste is noticeable, and the prices for everything was good.

Went to this place after getting off the road all the way from Westchester with my elderly mother…read morebecause she wanted eggplant Parmesan and she had eaten from this place before when a relative was staying at a hospital rehabilitation center nearby and remembered the food being good, so we went to have some lunch. We were seated in the outdoor area, which is nice on a humid day as You can get a decent breeze. 99% of the people who were there were just enjoying their their food and socializing, We decided to sit at a table near a window for whatever reason there was a gentleman at this table who decided that it was okay for him to vape while he was sitting down instead of exiting the restaurant. Not only did he decide that it was okay to vape, he decided that it was okay to blow his vapors onto my mother's head and engulf us in his gaping experience. Instead of noticing (full time hostess in the immediate area), automatically reseating us, apologizing and telling the man that is NOT okay to vape in the restaurant I had to flag a server down and let them know that we wanted a different table. Pretty good service but I really thought that that was a gross oversight on part of the restaurant like indoor smoking is illegal in the first place and vaping really isn't any better (arguably worse depending on what scientific data you're looking at), plenty people have respiratory issues and just preference period. No one should be forced to sit anywhere where a no vaping policy isn't being enforced in 2026. Really disappointed that I can't give this place a higher than a three star rating as a result because the food is pretty good and the servers were quick and pleasant, but the smoking issue to me is a gross oversight as far as basic customer service goes. People shouldn't be made to feel like they're being weird for wanting a different table because they don't want to be surrounded by anything but oxygen, Do better folks. Tried to call and speak with a manager BEFORE leaving this review, was left on hold for close to 10 mins however manager was extremely apologetic and pretty appalled he personally stated that vaping IS against their policy and that the staff should have absolutely been enforcing that. Welp, that's what complaints are for right? Food is decent and staff is respectful but I don't know if I'd go back given that experience if I have alternative choices in the area just trying to enjoy some lunch, drama and discomfort is not necessary indoor vaping is outlawed for a reason people violating that shouldn't get to just go about their day with zero consequences while everyone else is annoyed or having their lung / cardiovascular health put at risk involuntarily. YMMV
