I'm happy I saw it before I bit down on it. When I told the cashier and showed her, she told the cooks. They proceeded to laugh, while I was standing there. How rude, I thought! The cashier offered to prepare me another one but I declined. I didn't want anything else they cooked. The buffet was not very tidy but I didn't eat from there so , meh. The store part was actually pretty cool. I didn't buy anything as I only ventured over there for the food. There's a little sweet shop in the front that sells goodies along with street corn and elote. I ordered the street corn and it was delicious and inexpensive. I would definitely go back just for that and to shop in the store part.

I love having this grocery store nearby. In addition to your traditional grocery items they also…read moresell fresh fruits, breads, and meals. I like to get my fruits here since they're often fresher than Walmart's options. They also have good deals on meats and you can go right up to the counter and have them bag stuff up for you. That's a big deal for me since cooking for one can be a struggle portion wise. Though busy, the store has always been clean when I visit and the staff is also helpful.

There are many options for grains (rice, couscous, barley, etc). Picked up some packages of store-made pita bread for which there were different sizes to choose from.

Who would've thought the semi-clad Vulcan oversees a stronghold of Eastern Orthodoxy?…read more Mediterranean-food lovers and xenophiles alike rejoice each fall, with this event coming right on the heels of Birmingham's Greek Food Festival. Baked chicken, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and zalabieh are just some of the highlights, but don't forget the baklawa or, more deliciously, the date-filled m-a-m-o-u-l...! My favorite plate is the Nile, featuring kibbee, spinach pie, grape leaves, rice, spicy green beans, Arabic salad, and humos. And you can order MORE as sides! Beware...they sell out of zalabieh early every year. A narrated church tour elucidates a liturgy blending the essence of Jerusalem, Damascus, and Antioch, and you can pick up a censer at the market to take the "atmosphere" home with you. Highly recommended, family-friendly event, with food to die, or kill, for. You'll rock on Friday and Saturday night to Amin Sultan's crazy beat, or something's wrong with you! I'm still giving them four stars, even though I miss the stuffed squash! From their website menu, for those not in the know: KIBBEE: Finely ground very lean beef, mixed with cracked wheat, onions, pine nuts, spices, brushed with butter and baked to perfection. ROLLED GRAPE LEAVES: Ground chuck mixed with rice and spices, rolled in grape leaves and cooked in a water & lemon juice mixture until tender. BAKED CHICKEN: Half chickens marinated in lemon juice and butter, seasoned with a blend of spices, oregano, and baked to a moist golden brown. SPINACH PIE: Spinach, onions, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices wrapped in fresh yeast dough in the shape of a triangle and baked. MEAT PIE: Browned ground beef, onions, spices and cream cheese mixed an wrapped in fresh yeast dough in the shape of a triangle and baked. FALAFEL: Ground chick peas, onions, spices, parsley and cumin rolled into a ball and deep fried. GREEN BEANS: Italian beans simmered with crushed tomatoes, butter, spices, onions and garlic. ZALABIEH: Yeast dough made with a blend of anise, mahalab and sugar, deep fried, dipped piping hot into a special syrup and topped with powdered sugar. Simply delicious! Mine Fave Entree (and I always "request"): THE NILE $16.00 ONE HALF POUND BAKED KIBBEE, SPINACH PIE, 3 ROLLED GRAPE LEAVES, RICE, GREEN BEANS, ARABIC SALAD, AND BREAD. (HUMOS ON REQUEST)

I was glad that we ordered an extra spinach pie because that was the star of the dish as far as my wife and I were concerned. I really liked taking bites of kibbee and wrapping them in pita bread. A dont miss item that I want my Yelpers to know about is the ZLAYBAH! I saw the long line and I asked a worker about it. She said that it was incredible and it would run out in just a few hours and that a lady that has been making it for decades was making it with her secret recipe. I waited in line for 30 minutes for that and it was well worth it! Sitting outside was very nice and we had a great time listening to the band while we ate. I am looking forward to going back next year!
