There probably aren't many places in Houston where you can get Israeli grocery products like those that can be found here. I told the guy behind the counter that I trusted his judgment on what I should eat and he made me a spicy tuna melt from the new menu that wasn't even posted up yet. It was surprisingly good. It was probably one of the best tuna melts I've ever had. I really enjoyed that it was both spicy and served on a lightly toasted bagel. While this probably won't become a regular place for me since it's not an area I'm regularly in, I'm really glad I got to try it out. I would encourage anyone in the area to give this place a try, especially when looking for some healthier food options or just unique products.

I had been here before but when I came to try the food, the cafeteria had been closed, but, today…read morewas the day! What a hidden gem I just found! Im not sure where to start.... Firstly, this is a small store but it is entirely packed with all middle eastern/indian essentials, like flours, seeds, condiments, chips, sweets (bagged and homemade), canned goods, clay pots, etc. PLUS it has a meat butchery in the back, which means the freshest halal meat...fresh ground beef, chicken breast, ground veal, lamb, organ meats from veal and lamb, etc. it all looked VERY FRESH. They also have a small vegetable section but that is mostly very essentials like cilantro, carrots, onions and tomatoes. PLUS it is a restaurant! Which is precisely what I was there for and, left very well satisfied. I tried the daily special (Mon-Sat 11am-6pm) "sandwich" but is not with bread, is with pita, and chose BEEF KOFTA and FELAFEL.. WOW ! both definitely larger than a usual lunch portion. The kofta was juicy, tender, fresh and very well seasoned with fresh veggies and a mildly spicy red sauce inside that was just perfect every bite!. The felafel was PACKED with smashed felafels with veggies and I added garlic sauce and red sauce... it was truly delicious! They have a wide variety of drinks, chips, snacks and sodas from middle east to complement your sandwich. Also, at the entrance, they have their special coffee, which you serve yourself, and it was delicious! To top it off, the service was very friendly, specially from the lady at the cafeteria, but overall friendly and helpful. And BEFORE you leave, take a look at the small perfume section they have! we found some fantastic arabic perfumes and I will be back for 1 of them that hypnotized me lol. A hidden gem for me and will definitely be back !

Something to clarify: Two Brothers Halal Market is both an Indian grocery store and a restaurant…read more This review will cover the grocery section as I have not tried the restaurant in the back. This is a great secondary grocery. By that, I mean you go here for ingredients you can't find in a regular grocery store like Kroger or HEB. This has the best selection of whole spices and lentils I've seen anywhere in this area: so great in fact that this grocery is my go to location for these goods. If you're in the area and you want to cook some Indian food, this place is one you must visit. However, their limited space limits the amount of inventory they can hold. This results in extremely limited amounts of vegetables (I saw one large container, and that was it). I didn't see milk or eggs at all. Their meat selection is better though; they even have frozen microwave dinners separated by meat (beef, chicken, and lamb). I wouldn't use this grocery for pantry essentials; I'd use them in case you want to eat/cook something from Indian cuisine specifically. And the parking spaces are very limited. I got lucky and found a parking space, but not everyone might be so lucky. The parking lot is just two rows of spaces, and a couple are reserved for a separate entity. I'd try to get here near the time they open (9 am every day according to their website) since there's probably fewer people then.

OMG I ate the best baklava in Houston! When the doors of the food mart opened, the aroma that hit…read moreme was insane! I didn't bother to look at any of the products on the shelves. My nose literally led me to the back of the food mart where the bakery is. I saw trays and trays of different kinds of baklavas in the display cases. I got greedy (as usual when it comes to sweet food) and asked for eight different kinds of baklavas. The baklavas were sold by per pounds. Luckily I brought my Turkish friend along which helped in the communication part, and I was able to get a few pieces of each kind. The baklavas weren't too sweet, and they were so awesomely good. If I have to choose one favorite (trust me, it is tough to have one favorite only), it would have to be the cold baklavas with hazelnut or pistachios. Eat them straight out from the fridge is just aaahhhh... Diyarbakir Burma with pistachio had a good texture contrast that was so good. I also got the rice pudding (forgot to take a pic because I gobbled it down before I remember to take a pic) which came in a small rectangle aluminum tray. The rice pudding was baked well, and it wasn't overly sweet. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Other than sweets, the bakery sells breads too. That would be the food item l will purchase on my next visit.

But what I DO have a problem with is people having stores that cater to the public but don't at least have an English speaking person on site. And I have an EXTRA problem with people hanging up in my face. I called THREE Indian grocery stores just KNOWING that they speak English (cause most Indians I've met do), and I was hung up on twice...and the last chick put the phone down so I could listen to her argument with a customer...probably in hopes I'd hang up. REALLY, LIFE!? WHAT. THE. F-C-U-U-K-!-!-? So my last hope for buying incense before throwing in the towel and taking it to Amazon was to call Himalaya Grocers. THANK YOU, JESUS! They don't have all the variety that I'm used to regarding incense, but they had the basics. Nag Champa...you my only friend! Plus they had this rather unique Lord Buddha un named scent. I love that, too. Don't want to get your feelings hurt by the dial tone? Himalaya Grocers is where it's at! (And I'll be back next time to shop the grocery section)

I have been going to Himalaya Grocers for quite some time now and asking myself the question of why…read moreI have never written a review for them. This last visit was due to shortage of Lentil and dates. I found out that the owner has opened another location on Barker Cypress and Hwy290. As previously mentioned, I needed 2 specific kinds of Lentils: Masoor and Malka Masoor. I didn't need to go any further than Himalaya. Got both items 4lbs each. While strolling through the store, I started grabbing extra items: Zeera (cumin), Dhaniya (Coriander), Haldi (Turmeric), red chilli powder, mustard seeds, Kalonji, Fenugreek, Achar (indian spice dip), and a few more Indian grocery items. I was able to complete my spontaneous extended grocery list. Being the month of Ramadan, I also needed dates and they had a solid collection. Btw, they also usually have samosas at the counter which are made fresh daily. Overall the service is great. They have this one chick who runs the store daily and is pretty cordial and helpful to customers. I have run into the owner a few times and he is very polite and courteous. Himalaya is a tad less expensive than other competitors and you can find a wide range of authentic Indian grocery and snack items which are fresh and not outdated. Make sure to check out their frozen ice cream section and the Haldi Ram snack item section.

The location is convenient with other restaurants, a dollar store, bakery and a car wash sharing the same lot. The store is clean, well organized, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I'm not a Spanish speaker but I try my best and despite the language barrier, they are always respectful and patient. One day I'll be able to order my tacos exactly the way I like without having to look at Google Translate lol. The meat market has an excellent selection with fresh, quality cuts and preseasoned meats at great prices, and the produce section consistently has some of the best deals in town. They also carry a fantastic variety of international and authentic Latin products that can be hard to find elsewhere, making it a one-stop shop for just about everything. Don't leave without stopping by the restaurant inside. Their pastor tacos are absolutely amazing, and they have a great selection of fresh aguas frescas and other beverages that pair perfectly with your meal. The prepared foods always look amazing. I've seen everything from roasted chickens to three-piece meals and fried chicken, generously portioned, and very reasonably priced, making it an incredible value. Whether you're grocery shopping or just stopping in for lunch, El Ahorro delivers great prices, quality products, and authentic favorites every time. They also have all the essentials that you wouldn't need like cleaning supplies, and cat litter. I always do a little shopping after getting my brows done and the tacos are a must have. I can't leave without them. Five stars. Highly recommend.

The only other thing I could recommend would be the various salsas kept in the checkout lane endcap coolers. They are freshly made from La Michoacana (meat market) else and brought in. They all are delicious with names like, "taqueria salsa", "salsa tatemada", "tomatillio salsa", and "molcajeta salsa" to name a few. The decor is dated and the store looks old, but it's always clean when I visit. They seem to do a lot of prepared foods. You can get an authentic breakfast or lunch made while you wait.
