I was just passing through downtown Houston when I was looking for a quick snack, and I stumbled…read moreupon this supermarket. what a surprise! The parking was a bit of a challenge, but it was easy enough because it was a calm Tuesday morning. To get from the parking area to the store, you just take the elevator one level down, and then you're right inside. This place is surprisingly big, filled with all kinds of snacks, cookies, and coffee. The highlight for me was their shawarma breakfast wrap. It was top-notch and exactly what I needed. You choose between whole wheat or white pita, and it's filled with scrambled eggs, your choice of fresh or sautéed spinach, and they add potatoes as well. Then they top it with shawarma chicken, tomato, and a delicious sauce. For $8.5 it was worth every bite. Hands down, a five out of five. I also tried their coffee, which was just a standard brew sitting in ice for hours and nothing special. At $2.50, it was fine, but nothing to write home about. The real stars were the cookies. I got a coconut pecan cookie and an almond crunch cookie, and both were absolutely delicious. I didn't have time to explore the whole store, but there was a great selection of fresh produce, chocolates, and all sorts of small treats. Overall, the staff were really friendly, and the entire visit was smooth. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Five out of five stars!

My niece and I checked out Phoenicia's for lunch, which was surprisingly delicious…read more My niece has simplistic tastes, so she opted for the chicken burger, which I tried of course. Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good. Definitely bookmarked as a return option.

Great grocery market, I shopped there for years, no price increase and very fresh meat. This will…read morevery difficult for me. Other stores put less meat in their packaging at a much higher price. They even had a Masjid in the back of the store and an organic food section. The cashiers were very courteous and friendly, this is no lie this is the truth! At the other meat stores in Houston half the time I can't even get a salaam or hi and forget a smile. Maybe because I'm African American. Anyway from the heart they will be greatly missed.

They have a hot foods bar where you can order things like samosas and tandoori chicken. They have most of the items a regular grocery store would have plus some "exotic" stuff. They have an amazing dairy & ice cream section. Some of the best ice cream you will ever find can be found in the store!!! I love saffron & pistachio ice cream. I love the variety of plain yogurt's and dips. They have a huuuuuuge spice selection and every time I swing by the employees are always helpful and friendly!!! It's a little chaotic in here because it's set up like a warehouse store and business is booming, but don't let that keep you from doing by. I absolutely love this shop!!!

What is it with foreign food owners that notice non-natives visiting their store; why do they act…read moreso surprised or seem so afraid?! They stare at you like a deer in headlights; mouth wide open, eyes bucked out of the socket, looking more uncomfortable than a baby tasting a lemon for the first time. Thank goodness there were natives in the store, not that it helped ease me. Though, they left quick and scurried across the store without even having contact with us. The male owner was helpful, but acted as if I was a lot younger than my age and treated me like I was ignorant. I couldn't find the sweet Indian snack, but I did find something a lot better. Lots of Indian snacks, sweets, ingredients, frozen foods, teas, and even fresh produce. The prices seemed pricey, not so much reasonable. No expired goods. I can't say I'll be back to this store as Hwy 3 is known for having lots of Indian grocery.
