This place is unreal. They've moved to this location a few months ago after occupying a store across the street for 15 years. The new place is stunning. Most of their stock is Turkish or middle eastern. The store is clean, well stocked and I just kind of went crazy in there. You see, I've been to Turkey five times so this was a great surprise. They also have their own bakery and meat market. I can't wait to return.

This place like a dream. The store is so clean you almost feel like you're in a furniture store or something. It's almost pristine. They have light music playing and it's just an overall good shopping experience. They have a lot of Turkish and middle eastern staples. They have all the different types of cheeses, olives, plethora of spices, and a solid selection of cookies and biscuits just to name a few. I can't say enough good things about this place. They also have a hot food bar! My husband and I get their beef and kofta wraps all the time. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you get a chance.

Very clean & fresh produce . My great find was Turkish pot $12.99 & coffee with free cup for $5.99.

Very nice Valentines day stand

Best place to get halal meat at an affordable price. This grocery store beats, its competitors by a far margin due to its professionalism and cleanliness. The employees are very kind and always helpful. If I cannot find it the product I was looking for the workers always help me look for a close substitutes or give me an estimate of when the product will arrive. The baklava is strictly imported from turkey, which gives it that authentic taste that I've been looking for. Great place will be coming here more often.

You pay up front. One cash register makes it feel like a quaint little market. Love it!!

Wow what a hidden gem! This market is tucked away in a strip mall and I never knew it even existed until I happened to walk by when I was killing time waiting for a table at Meshikou. Apparently they moved locations from around the corner. I have not seen the old location but the current one is obviously still very new, clean, organized, and priced well with a wide range of produce, canned goods, spices, snacks, meat, fresh bakery items, delicatessen, and even fresh food including shawarma. The workers are friendly and eager to help, especially if you're as lost as I was since I don't have much experience with Mediterranean products or food. I ended up trying a few bakery items which were all fresh handmade pistachio baklava desserts and they were so delicious! They sell desserts by the tray which would be perfect for a potluck. Get there early in the day so you have more options to pick from. When I went at 6 pm they were sold out of many items. Will definitely be back again to try more things!

Since this was my first time to a Turkish market, this trip was basically from see what all they have. I was happy with the selection of grocery items. I must admit, I don't have much to compare it with, however. Nevertheless, the two gentleman owners working were fantastic! They described anything I had a question about. Sour. Tarty. A spread. Eat it with a spoon. I did find my favorite German chocolate was sold here. Also picked up a jar of fig jam (for my Turkish cookie recipe). As I continue to learn more about the Turkish culture, and cooking, I know I'll be back!

So fresh!

Delicious pastry. I suggest Simit and baklava especially. Everything is squeaky clean.

Recently got a whole fryer chicken for $8 and they cut it up for you. Not much needs to be said to…read morebe honest. They have very fresh, high quality chicken (and rabbit, duck, bison, turkey, venison and more that I haven't tried YET). You can get whole chickens, boneless/skinless breasts, airline style breasts, wings, ground chicken- basically anything your heart desires, and it's all reasonably priced. Obviously everything is a bit more than say Kroger or Walmart but the quality more than makes up for the extra $1-2 you might have to pay! Also the staff was very helpful when I went and bagged my whole cut up chicken extremely well and safely.

Working in the North Market, I get asked a lot about what is good to eat. Well, damn near…read moreeverything, of course- but I usually point them down to North Market Poultry & Game's Kitchen Little. "It's the best food in Columbus!" I say, feeling fairly secure in my pronouncement. See, I've never shopped at NMPG itself- the meat counter- but I have learned the not-very-well kept secret that is Kitchen Little. That unassuming little glass case holds a king's ransom of flavors. It's embarrassingly hard to pick what to eat from day to day. You can't go wrong here, but a few of my go-to staples are the meatloaf (usually chicken or turkey, always delicious, moist, and perfect), the chicken cutlet whose fried-chicken appearance hides untold wealth of flavor, or the chicken and waffles- the aforementioned chicken cutlet on a Taste of Belgium waffle, drowning in Frank's Red Hot Sauce (if you're smart about it). People like to throw around the phrase "home cooked" but if you cook food this good in your home, you need to marry me. This is food that exemplifies Columbus- unpredictable, amazing, local, and responsible. Throw in the friendly staff, the sampling, and the general atmosphere of the Market- which I love- and you have a winning combination. It's been said before by writers far more professional than I, and they were right: if Kitchen Little was its own stand-alone restaurant somewhere in town, it'd be a sensation. As it is, I kind of like the homey, back-kitchen feel. This is food that will forever change your overall opinion of prepared food counters, even if you already think highly of them. And, yeah, do yourself a favor and get some o' them good duck fat fries. You won't even need ketchup- it'd just ruin the flavor. The only complaint I can muster is that sometimes people get there before I do and buy up all the best stuff. That's definitely an acceptable loss for me- because it means Kitchen Little is getting the attention it so richly deserves!
