One of the metro area's newest Middle Eastern markets is in fact also one of the larger ones of its…read moretype locally. I'm of course referring to the stunning souk near Kennedy Golf Course called Mecca Market. Let's make a little trip of our own, and discover the wonders within. One thing that's always stood out to me about MM is its inventory of items representing North Africa. Have you ever wanted to make the flaky, delicious, and very messy Tunisian pastries known (in their singular form) as Brik? You can find the dough - or, more properly, Malsouka - to do just that, right here. Much-loved Moroccan sodas, such as the unexpectedly-yet-aptly-named tropical wonder Hawai, are also available in the market's bountiful beverage aisle. And of course, you can find plump, sun-sweet Deglet Nour dates from Algeria here too. Other memorable Maghrebi merchandise includes (but is not limited to) tempting tinned sardines, boxes of caramel pudding mix (reflecting the area's heavy French history), flavorful fig jam and even jumbo jars of spreadable chocolate/hazelnut paste (like Nutella, but even better). But this isn't the only region whose delights can be found within these walls - far from it! So let's peek a bit more closely to see what other crafty and clever curiosities await. One of my favorite desserts from the Middle East in fact goes by many names - Bamieh in Iran, Awameh in Syria, and Legimat in Sudan just to give a few examples. But no matter what you may call them, they're basically all sweetened donut puffs. And when I'm not feeling particularly inclined to go through all the steps of making them, I can just buy a box of premixed powder (readily available here at MM) and enjoy them in a fraction of the time. Of course, the more serious cooks among you can find plenty to please here too, from fresh grape leaves, to Halal (but of course!) meats, to saffron, Dibs al-Kharrub (carob molasses), and Kamoun Sufi ("woolly cumin", so named because of the thin fibers covering the seeds). And I have to devote just a bit of space to the snacks available here, like orange- and lemon-filled wafer cookies, paprika potato chips, and Cadbury chocolate bars. Yes, even after one visit I think you'll find that Mecca Market has things to appeal to all kinds of culinary voyagers.

To update my most recent review of this place after getting me the Kafta Kabab plate…read more... Amazingly good quality food and friendly service!! On a super chilly Friday night, after I had been done with my second hustle business not too far from this restaurant, before I headed for another business I would need to take care of, I stopped here as I was famished. I simply couldn't think of any other place where I could get food that always promises quality where I wouldn't have to wait too long to get it. I was truly fearful that my uncontrollable appetite would swallow me had I gone to a different restaurant where I might end up waiting too long (LOL!!) My choice was right. And to be greeted by the same kind gentleman (who had always assisted me in the past) warmed up the core of my heart and soul. He did say to me that I should have called in to place my order ahead because he said that the kitchen was quite busy and that I might wait at least or as long as 20 minutes. I told him I was willing to wait although my stomach continued to yell at me from inside!! Well, I got lucky; it didn't take long. See...my assumption was right; this place never disappoints. This time, instead of the usual I get (the vegetarian plate), I tried something different. It's the Kafta Kabob plate. This is another great dish to consider ordering at this place as long as meat is part of your diet. The meat was unapologetically tender and well-seasoned. It was hard to fathom as to how they perfected this technique to cook it to its perfection. The accompanying salad and hummus were gracefully served in the same container. Did I say that Golden's hummus is one of the best? I think I did at least once. It is because of its impeccable creaminess. Awww...I can eat this thing almost everyday if I must. This is a tiny, more of a family-run restaurant type place. Inside is quite basic and yet it's never messy or dirty. This is a place you can comfortably sit and dine without worrying about its cleanliness; sanitation is not an issue. But most of all, you go here for the quality of food. This place easily beats a fine restaurant in an upscale neighborhood for sure.

They feature a buttery Tikka Masala that is smooth and well balanced in spices. Chicken Biryani is a classic with perfect balance with a slight cardamom-forward punch that sets it apart from standard fare. Their BBQ Platter is an ample assortment of grilled meats that easily feed a small family in a single order.

I found items from Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and more, making it a great place to explore. Don't let the size fool you. It looks small from the outside, but every aisle is packed with unique finds. I spotted fresh herbs and vegetables, shrimp paste, dried fish, tamarind, mango sheets, seaweed snacks, Asian candies, seasonings, bamboo baskets, aluminum cookware, beauty products, gold-tone fashion jewelry, ice cream, pastries, fermented sausages, durian, muscle rubs, and cosmetics. A special thank you to Andrew, the owners' son, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. He took the time to explain products, answer questions, and offer recommendations, which made the experience even better. Parking tip: Don't park directly in front of the store since it's along a busy road. Instead, use the side parking lot just before you reach the store. If you enjoy authentic Asian ingredients and discovering unique products, this store is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!
