They have added additional items in the store since the pandemic, including cooking items like, triangular rice molds for making onigiri, disposable chopsticks, and tableware. The management has also added a few new types of rice, including Tamanishiki, which is a super premium short grain rice that is used in high quality Japanese restaurants. "This type of rice is a combination of Koshihikari rice and Yumegokochi rice, with a rich flavor and excellent texture." Likewise, they carry Nishiki, and various Korean brands as well As always, the interior or the store is very, very clean, and items are well stocked. Likewise, the staff will go out of their way to special order some items if they are not normally carried on the shelves. The best thing is that they added a small eatery in the store called the "Korner Kitchen," which offers a very diversified menu of Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese items.

If you love rice like I do, there are two aisles filled with various types of rice that will truly accent any dish you like to cook. Likewise, there is a wide selection of Chinese oyster and soy sauces to chose from that will take your cooking to the next level. However, if you're more into Japanese and Korean foods, then you will find this marketplace rather limited.

The workers helped me find some kitchenware items I was interested in, and they provided great service. For someone who is a newbie to Asian food or cooking, the atmosphere in this market can be a little intimidating at first.

Finally stopped in here after YEARS of overlooking it…read more The prices here are incredible, the staff super friendly, and tons of cool Middle Eastern grocery items to peruse. The best part is their deli counter, where you can order sandwiches, grape leaves, hand pies, spreads, etc. We loved the baba ganoush, spinach pie, and chicken shawarma sandwich (more curry-forward than other shawarma I've had in the area). Their falafel is also very good. We're excited to try more of their offerings. Drop by when you're in the area, you won't regret it!

This is a meat and fish shop owned by Mr. Golam. It's situated in Packard and Platt road opposite…read moreGalleria market. This shop has various Indian spices , rice( basmati), lentils, tea, coffee, cooking oil, ghee and many more items. Very much like a regular grocery store. The main items though are various Bangladeshi fish (frozen) and meat. Chicken, mutton, lamb, beef are the usual items here. The owner is very friendly and understands the meat quality. They even take preorders if you have big events and need large amounts of meat or fish. They can cut the pieces as you desire. This shop have plenty of free parking space too. The only big issue it the pricing of the meat and fishes. They are quite high in comparison to the Bangladeshi stores in Hamtramck. We always buy fish and meat from Golam but recently we started to buy same items from Detroit area through our Frieda who live nearby and it costs us half the price. This is the only shop of this kind in this area so maybe the higher price is justified.

The exotic fruits like mangos and papayas are obviously shipped in, but they also offer many fruits and vegetables grown locally. Corn on the cob and bright red tomatoes from Michigan were on offer on a recent July afternoon. I have been to many ethnic groceries in the area, but this is the first where I've seen bitter melon, a common ingredient in Indian dishes, available. In addition to produce, they have a meat counter, many dried and canned beans, and an astounding array of snack mixes. Some small flies were buzzing around some of the plums in an unappetizing way, and several of the mangoes and pears were looking dried and past their peak of freshness. Other items, especially the local Michigan produce, looked really good. They were running a special on watermelons the day I stopped in.

Based on uniqueness, taste, and presentation Al Meida is def 5-star worthy!…read more Lemme back it up for a sec...I am completely mystified by North African cuisine. To me it's this rich ancient culture with a territory of flavors i have yet to fully explore. I have only gotten a glimpse, and from what i've tasted - hand rolled sundried couscous, harissa, jasmine, preserved lemon, brik, orange blossom, etc - i'm hooked! So you can imagine my reaction when i heard Al Meida (a mobile food stand selling handmade Algerian pastries) was stopping by Detroit - my prayers had finally been answered! Have a look at the pics. The pastries were delicious and definitely unique. Unique in the sense that these are fruit (mostly date) based desserts (no chocolate or sugar rush here) and the hints of orange blossom and rose water are otherworldly. Strangely nostalgic, yet unknown. Aromatic and flavorful. It's all so foreign and new, yet i want more!

Oh. My. God. I…read morefound Al Meida's delectable Algerian pastries while at the Detroit Second Annual Holiday Food Bazaar held at Eastern Market. The name on the advertisement for the event attracted my attention, but I was not prepared for such a sweet, elegant woman selling sophisticated pastries beyond my experience. She laid out half-moon pastries on beautiful, inscribed plates and had mysterious, spice-infused cookies spread over her table. The sweet, exotic scents unlocked the doors to the southern Mediterranean and the culinary crossroads of Africa, French and Italian influences, and Arabic elements. At once I was hooked, and divested of all the cash I brought in one go. I had to try a little of everything as I bought a little of this sticky cookie and a bit of that lemon-brushed pastry. Names were unfamiliar, but the tastes immediately opened up a sun-baked world on my tongue. The surreal touches of citrus and dates blended together on my palate. My beau, a lifelong Detroiter, had significantly more experience with the Chaldean, Iraqi, and Arabic bakeries in Dearborn. We rationed out our purchases in small bites while sitting elbow to elbow at a rough bench which faced the glorious skyline of Detroit. This, in a nutshell, embodied the spirit of the city. Al Meida's crowning confection is the kaab el ghazal -- "gazelle horns" -- which are an almond paste-filled crescent moon "cookie" (but rightly they're a pastry) wrapped in orange blossom and rosewater infused pastry. The first bite taken a few steps away was an explosion of flavours and sensate impressions. My beau and I shared the kaab el ghazal in the mute silence brought by contentment, appreciation, and trying to experience how good something is. We only bought three and should have gone back for the rest. The baked products, their appearance, and the savoury flavours are good enough to wax poetic upon. I sailed off to a distant shore and discovered an unknown craving for orange blossom and other newly found subtle tastes. Al Meida has made her way out to Ferndale's Rust Belt Market on Sundays, thankfully sparing me trying to wend my way out to Ann Arbor's farmer's markets. An hour on the freeway on Saturday morning I could do without. This is another of Detroit's many gems, and I cannot laud the exotic delights waiting to be sampled care of enchanting Algerian recipes and considerable care for quality.
