A great ethnic grocery store with a wonderful deli counter!…read more
This place has the best hummus in town, bar none! It's always fresh (they sell tons of it, so no worries about it being old), never oily, extremely smooth without any dominate flavors. It's simply amazing! they have amazing salads, falafel, kabobs, etc.
They have fresh pita bread every day, a real treat! Oh, their kafta pies are outrageously great! Honestly, they're all great, but I love the kafta. Perfectly seasoned, perfect pastry, etc.
If you want feta, they always have at least 3 choices, and the prices are better than anywhere else in Toledo.
Their produce is usually great. Once in a while you'll get something that's a little older than you'd like, or it's lacking flavor, but produce is all natural, so these things can be hard to control.
They have great shelf-stable things like olive oil, spices, grains, etc. They have a great olive bar, refrigerated/frozen items, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Need puff pastry or phyllo, no need to go anywhere else.
My only quibble is one of the guys working behind the butcher counter isn't always that friendly. I try to wait until he's busy and then get served by one of his co-workers.
The place is always spotless and it's in a very safe part of town! I can't recommend this place strongly enough to anyone who loves Middle Eastern food!
OMG, I think I need to go there for lunch today!
