the front of the store
Sam M.

On our recent visit to Northern Virginia we had to make a quick stop to get something from the Desi store. We had to get barley flour and apparently the closest place to get barley floor was Mahi Bazaar. A quick look at the reviews on yelp and warning from family who lives in the area told us that this is a place out of hell. Management and employees are rude and they usually overcharge. So when I walked in I was prepared to not have a good experience. As we walked in I said hi to the employee at the door and was greeted back immediately. So we were off to a great start. To our surprise the store was super clean and filled with inventory. That was a sign of a thriving business. I took a quick glance at the meat prep area and that was also very clean and the meat in the display definitely was of excellent quality even though we didn't buy any. As we were looking for barley flour I asked one of the employees to help and he immediately took me to the aisle where the product was located. Once again the reviews mentioned that the employees never help anyone. I guess it was our lucky day. Usually yelp reviews are spot on but for some reason this wasn't the case here. The store is spotless and clean. The employees might not be smiling ear to ear but they are respectful and helpful. Last but not least there is the issue of overcharging. We bought two bags of barley floor. Prices were clearly indicates on the bags and we paid via credit card and were charged the right amount. For all the reasons above and our experience this is a 5 star store. For yelpers with a bad experience it might be an opportunity to give this place a second chance. You might be surprised as we were.

raw chicken and vegetables on a cutting board

They are very dishonest people. They are not only thieves but also hygenically below the standard. I wonder, why food inspector dod not cost and fine them?! I bought 8 pounds chicken from them. they cleaned it and kept 2 pounds out of it. I confronted the owner and her response was, you should have asked to clean it less. Are you kidding me, you simply chop off meat chunks. I would not recommend or go back there.

Right by my thumb is the expiration for this product

See all

Paid $15 for $8 wings. Consider it as donation, that's all. Please be aware of high price.

They recently started making credit card charges a $10 minimum. What a sad attempt at a cash grab. *sigh*

I don't get out to the Sauson International Grocery as often as I used to, but I still make the…read moretrip 1-2 times a month for mainly one thing: some of the freshest and tastiest bread in all of the DMV. Every culture has their own interpretation of taking the basic ingredients of flour, yeast, salt and water and transforming it via various baking methods into their version of "bread." There is a long history of using circular oval shaped ovens in Asia and the Middle East as a way of both conserving space and to efficiently cook foods with even heat distribution and small footprints in otherwise cramped kitchens. In India these ovens are called tandoors while in Japan they are referenced as kamados. Sauson International Grocery has been in operation since 2011, and the owner, who everyone knows as "Mr. Rashid," is of Persian descent having emigrated from Iran. He is always super friendly and willing to answer questions I may have about the wide variety of Middle Eastern spices and foods this place stocks. Don't be surprised if you strike up a conversation with him, and he offers you a cup of wonderfully spiced tea and a cookie or pastry from the delectable dessert case. As some of the reviews have noted, parking is tricky. There is a small covered garage under the building. But you may have to park at the nearby church or on the street and then walk over to the store. This place is well known for their bread, which is being made throughout the day. I came a bit later today, so they had just finished making a few batches. But it's not uncommon to witness skilled bakers kneading and rolling, and then slapping the dough onto the circular metallic oven for a few minutes, before piping hot fresh bread emerges. The bread is amazing. It is pliable, without being overly chewy. It is slightly salty, with a great smoky almost charred flavor. I've had it cut into pieces and then dipped with hummus or rolled into gyros or used to sandwich kabob meat. And believe it or not, it's even pretty good as a PB&J. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I've introduced this product to usually asks: (1). What type of bread is this? and (2). Where can I buy it? Note: As of this review, the current price is $8.05 for FOUR large round pieces of bread. Apart from the bread, there is also a small butcher shop in the back, and a kitchen where hot foods like kabob platters are made. There is also a small seating area in front of the store, where folks can sip tea and relax while enjoying sweets from the display case. Sauson is a really cool place and while I usually go with the intention of only buying bread, it's not uncommon for me to walk out with a few bags of unique Middle Eastern groceries.

Impressive variety of selection and wonderful hospitality. Can't wait to go back soon.read more
