Tips:
- Hyper Fresh has a fast food stall called Hyper Grill. When you walk into the store, Hyper Grill is on the right.
- If you are a nut, date, or feta fan, you'll fine dedicated sections for these items.
A recent Yelp experience introduced me to Hyper Grill, a fast food stall within Hyper Fresh, a cool supermarket that specializes in Iranian and international foods, including Turkish and Indian items.
I hadn't visited any businesses along Doncaster for several years. I dropped by often when Cayne's Super Housewares (it was next door to this supermarket), and Hampstead House Books were alive and kicking along this street.
I drove over to Hyper Fresh after work on a Thursday. Taking backroads was great. I got here in roughly 25 minutes from home.
All parking spots in front of this supermarket are on a slant. There were also cars parked parallel to Doncaster, which was weird. They were all taken. I ended up parking closer to K-Beauty Outlet, which had normal parking.
The entrance has a ramp. I felt like I was working out my calves walking in. If you are using a wheelchair, you'll need extra arm strength to get yourself up the ramp and into the store. Coming out of the store, you may need to use your brake!
My friend, Sandy, was already in the store, perusing. I found her and we browsed before and after hitting Hyper Grill. It's cool that we like checking out supermarkets among other shared interests.
We both enjoyed cheeseburgers at Hyper Fresh. They were excellent smash burgers with all the fixings, including caramelized onions. It also has pizzas, sandwiches, and more. The fries are also yummy, with a light, crispy coating.
There is seating to enjoy your food. There's an area with tables and chairs. We sat by the window.
It was fun perusing the grocery store. I needed to get celery. The produce was fresh. I was pleased with the selection of celery available.
We saw a lot of nuts. No, not customers. Almonds. Pistachios. Cashews. A lot!
This store also has an entire display dedicated to dates. I liked that you could enjoy sample dates in this store.
I found triangular paratha in the fridge. I got some. It wasn't my regular brand that was flaky. It was triangular without any flakiness, which was disappointing.
What was great was getting a small tub of pomegranate ice cream. It was slightly sweet, with a lot of yummy pomegranate flavour. I'm nearly done, so I may need to head back soon to get the larger tub.
We looked at salt .Blue salt was going for $20. Yikes! I need to research why it's so expensive. I hope that it has special properties.
As with any supermarket, some prices are cheap and some are not. I wouldn't recommend getting pop here. However, it had carbonated yogurt drinks that were decent in price. They also intrigued me.
I saw channa masala seasoning and Turkish delight. It was cool seeing other international items.
Sandy made a good observation that this store didn't have a whole lot of chocolate. We eventually found chocolate bar squares near the checkout area. I got a milk chocolate bar that was yummy.
There's a meat shop in the back left of the store. There was a lot of feta cheese to look at, too.
I look forward to returning. I liked seeing the jam varieties in this store, from fig to rose petal.
The man at the checkout was so nice. I paid for my goods with a credit card. He put my items in a bag. It was a seamless transaction.
I had a wonderful experience shopping here. Perhaps when I'm heading home from work, I'll drop by again and fetch my groceries here.
