I am at Sparrow Market almost daily and am so happy to have a lovely, friendly local shopping center with high quality produce, delicious cheese selections, all kinds of interesting meats (butcher specials, too), and a variety of Italian delicacies, both ready to eat and ready to cook--plus a choice of sandwiches to grab and go...what more could a food lover-shopper want?

This is a meat and fish shop owned by Mr. Golam. It's situated in Packard and Platt road opposite…read moreGalleria market. This shop has various Indian spices , rice( basmati), lentils, tea, coffee, cooking oil, ghee and many more items. Very much like a regular grocery store. The main items though are various Bangladeshi fish (frozen) and meat. Chicken, mutton, lamb, beef are the usual items here. The owner is very friendly and understands the meat quality. They even take preorders if you have big events and need large amounts of meat or fish. They can cut the pieces as you desire. This shop have plenty of free parking space too. The only big issue it the pricing of the meat and fishes. They are quite high in comparison to the Bangladeshi stores in Hamtramck. We always buy fish and meat from Golam but recently we started to buy same items from Detroit area through our Frieda who live nearby and it costs us half the price. This is the only shop of this kind in this area so maybe the higher price is justified.

Golam is a good addition to the area's collection of small ethnic groceries. The owner chatted with…read moreme about all they offered when I visited recently. The exotic fruits like mangos and papayas are obviously shipped in, but they also offer many fruits and vegetables grown locally. Corn on the cob and bright red tomatoes from Michigan were on offer on a recent July afternoon. I have been to many ethnic groceries in the area, but this is the first where I've seen bitter melon, a common ingredient in Indian dishes, available. In addition to produce, they have a meat counter, many dried and canned beans, and an astounding array of snack mixes. Some small flies were buzzing around some of the plums in an unappetizing way, and several of the mangoes and pears were looking dried and past their peak of freshness. Other items, especially the local Michigan produce, looked really good. They were running a special on watermelons the day I stopped in.

Even cooking spices and some sacred saps to burn for spiritual cleansing and rituals. Phenomenal staff, everyone looks happy! Really really grateful to have this space open in down town.

First I was so excited to see strawberries in stock, given they have had such a rough crop this summer. And not only did they have them but they had quite a bit! They're small but mighty delicious! Also, love all the local brands/makers they carry and they just keep upping their game outside of produce as well. In particular I'm mightly geeked that they carry Bird Dog Baking from Ypsi (love their rye teacake), White Lotus Farms (my husband can't stop raving about the pistachio blackberry croissant I brought him), Why Not Pie?, Harvest Kitchen, and more. And of course, my beloved Crust. Everyone here is so kind. The mission is so important. And their products are so great. Love having them so close by!

If you care about your food, you need Argus in your life.

You're lucky if the cashier will even give you eye contact at most grocery stores, so the customer service and their overall friendliness is where TJ excels. I dropped in to pick up a few things to bring for a small gathering in Ann Arbor. I didn't need a ton of items so I was in and out pretty quick but some seasonal items always catches my eye, so I of course bought more than I needed. All in all another solid TJ.

For the prices they charge, I expected better quality. That said, you really can find almost anything you need there, and most of the food is good just definitely on the pricier side. The only other downside is that there didn't seem to be many staff members available when I needed help.
