Wow this is a hidden gem!…read more My husband and I stumbled upon this place after he was doing a errand. They have everything that you are honestly looking for. They have sweets, imported items , and deli , bakes goods , frozen items , juices and a couple of other items that you can't forget to purchase. Everything was all for a great price and the service was amazing along with the employees being very nice and explained a couple of things when we were at the deli. I would highly recommend coming here and checking them out.

I'm torn about this place…read more.. Pros: - they have many items they sell ranging from foods, to kitchenware, to dupattas. - they have exotic items that others don't, like guava, aloe, different variations of okra and eggplants. They even have an aisle or 2 with mexican and east asian items. - they have family packs for rotis and parathas, which makes it cheaper in cost than smaller packs in other stores. - they Cons: - at the same right that they have so many options, they also weirdly don't have items that many indian grocery stores have. They don't have popular brand chai, they don't have small packets of large bags of lentils, they don't have garlic powder in regular size, etc. - there's no one to help you on the floor. there are hispanic workers stocking things, but some don't speak english, and most don't know where things are. The indian workers usually just gather in the front, not sure if they were owners, but theyre just in the dupatta section, not helping customers. When you ask cashiers questions, they also arent knowledgeable with things. It's just a terrible experience when you have questions on items here. - sometimes the vegetables are in good condition, and sometimes it is in such bad condition. - they only take cash if it's less than $10 I believe. If you're in a pinch and this is the closest place to go, then do so. Just beware to bring cash if less than $10, and to have a grocery list in mind that's not too complicated so you can walk yourself to each aisle to find things yourself. We try not to come here if not needed.

There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

Absolutely love this place! First found it when looking for some spices I'd never heard of before…read morefor a Palestinian dessert. International Grocery had these and many other spices, grains, nuts, flours, everything you can think of, from multiple cuisines from many cultures around the Mediterranean. They also have fresh halvah, and delicious spanakopita, freshly made! I got into the habit of buying several generous servings-- one for now, several for my freezer. What a great find!
