The store offers a wide array of the usual Mediterranean and middle eastern food goods, imports, grocery, fresh meat, frozen items, cheeses, labneh, yogurt (Greek style, Lebanese, others), fresh pondered coffee beans, coffee/eat kettles, kitchen ware, pita bread bags, candy, and all the known lovely sweets (baklava, warbaat, katayef, etc). They also sell pre-packaged assorted baklava sweets, as well as imported sweets. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The owner is very friendly and she always tries to accommodate the kitchen needs especially when it comes to fresh meat, poultry, lamb, etc. Cleveland/Akron area has a number of similar stores, but this one serves Tallmedge and Akron area which helps since there are not too many similar stores directly nearby in Tallmedge and south Akron area. If you are in the area and need some quick Mediterranean grocery flair, stop by.

To echo the other reviewers, food was amazing but it really was pricey. I totally understand things are expensive and prices are going up but I was a little aghast when she gave me the total. Menu said it was $13.99 for the lentils and rice special but I was charged $14.99 and it was $2.50 for a small side of hot sauce! That and three spinach pies brought my total to $25. That's a bit outrageous for the amount of food received. That said, everything truly was delicious and the owner was friendly. At least now I know what to expect for next time!

It has a wide selection of various Middle Eastern foods, teas, coffees, snacks, dates, etc. from many different countries! If you want something from Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Yemen, etc., you will likely find it here! They have shelf/pantry items, fresh refrigerated foods, and frozen foods. I've been here twice and the man in charge (possibly the owner?) named Mufasa is very helpful and friendly! He will help you find anything you need! He speaks both Arabic and English. Do not be intimidated if you do not speak Arabic, it's fine! He will help you in English! They accept cash, debit, credit, and Apple Pay. They have a private parking lot in front and on the side of the store. I will definitely be coming back here!

Parivar Spice Market is a small Indian grocery store in Mayfield Heights. It's an especially…read moreconvenient stop if you're shopping at one of the big retailers in the area or need something niche. I stopped in for sweets after I was invited to Indian masala chai evening. STORE: The store is located in a plaza with limited parking. Dedicated few spots are available for Parivar Spice Market customers. The store has everything - veggies and fruits, bulk rice, frozen foods, tea, sweets, personal care items, and other staples. Staples are available in bulk or individually (such as rice). You'll find Indian souvenirs behind the counter. There's also more than an aisle of packaged spices. I don't dabble much in Indian spices, but someone with spice needs would love this place. Indian spices linger in the air adding a dash of authenticity to this market visit. The inventory is plentiful but not logically organized. For instance, I found sweets in multiple different aisles. The prices for products are not well labeled on the shelves or on the products. It's hard to tell the prices until checkout. If you frequent this market, it would be intuitive, but as a first timer, prepare to spend time here. I liked that the entire market focused on only Indian food without introducing other cultures. MY PURCHASE: I got sweets for tea: - Deep Khari Twisted Jeera ($3.49) - Crispy puffed pastries with cumin - Karachi's Osmania Biscuits ($5.99) - Soft and buttery cookies - Deep Khari Masala ($3.49) - Crispy puffed pastries with a blend of spices - Karachi's Bakery Fruit Biscuits ($5.99) - Biscuits with mixed fruit, vanilla, and nuts SERVICE: Service is very pleasant. The store employee chatted with me about my upcoming tea and graciously offered her help with my selections. I was very pleased with the friendliness and the hospitality. I intend to visit in the future to try Indian teas. There was quite an assortment. Kashmiri Pink Tea looked especially exciting! I recommend this place for spices and authentic Indian foods.

I asked the attendant to point my in the direction of some cool candies and cookies. Right next to the wide selection of cookies were quick prepare rices and meals. I don't cook too much but love Indian food so I got a few things to try at home. They also had a small freezer section with quick prepare meal items. I got some rice, a chickpea stew and some frozen aloo that I can put in the air fryer. I love Indian food and I'm super excited to try these quick options.

I visited this Indian grocery store on Saturday afternoon, 31 January 2026. Before coming, I was…read morenext door at the new Indian inspired, Pizza Twist restaurant, so my friend Mallory and I decided to stop into this grocery store real-quick. I'm glad we were able to check out A & A Indo Asian Grocery. ITEMS - They have a standard selection of food to choose from such as rice, frozen food options like naan and paratha, Indian snacks, tea, etc. They even offer fresh food to buy at the check-out counter up front such as hot samosas to take away (to-go). I bought the Aloo Paratha ($3.99) from the frozen foods section, Little Hearts small biscuits ($1.99), Small toffee candy ($1.99), Cardamon Tea ($5.49). I've tried Aloo Paratha many times before so I already knew that I would love it. They sell the Deep brand of Aloo Paratha here and after heating it up over the stove-top, I loved it. Aloo Paratha is a bread filled with potatoes and spices. It's the perfect carb-filled meal to go along with eggs in the morning or it can be eaten as a side dish for lunch or dinner. Absolutely delicious! The toffee sweet (candy) and the little biscuits that I bought were good too. I haven't tried the cardamon tea yet but I gave one packet to my friend and he liked it. However, I did notice that upon getting home, that the tea is made with artificial ingredients so I'm not too happy about that. I was hoping to get a pure/natural tea so I actually will just give the whole tea away. It's unlikely that I will try it which is sad because I love cardamom. If you love Indian food and snacks like myself then you will enjoy visiting this grocery store. It's clean, service is friendly and nice, and options are plentiful. I most likely will not visit again because there are other Indian stores closer to where I live and I hardly visit Bedford, Ohio. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 10/250 total reviews in 2026 - 851 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 February 2026
