Pars Market is the best place to go for everything hookah and international foods. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable, and the owner makes sure you get quality products. The prices are pretty good, too. I will definitely be back. read more

I'm visiting my parents this weekend in Columbia from San Diego and needed to find some 7-oh! When I found pars, I was totally blown away by his selection and generosity. I found some of the lowest prices in a smoke shop ever for 7-oh, but what really got me was his kindness, expertise, and over the top willingness to make me the happiest customer ever!!! I made a killing today and cannot wait to come back this Christmas. It's going to be a very merry holiday for me. Also, it makes me so sad that apparently there are people writing contemptuous reviews about the quality and variety of his stock, which are just not true. He is the kindest and has the best selection you could ask for in a smoke shop!!! read more

It's been a lonnnng time since I've smoked shisha. Figured I would leave it in my college & partying days LOL. One of my friends posted about getting some non tobacco CBD shisha from Pars and I'm like ooo sign me up. So I called and talked to Sky. She was so nice and helpful. When I went in, she helped me with my selections and CBD & delta 8 shisha. Great selection and friendly service. read more

I shop at Pars quite often and never once have had a bad experience , the owner as well as the workers are not only super friendly but extremely knowledgable and help me with whatever I need. I highly reckoned if your looking for any smoke shop ( or specialty food item ) needs to try out Pars , I guarantee a great experience. read more

I've been coming here for about 2 years now and this store is amazing. Hands down the best smoke shop probably on the east coast. Best prices, Best selection (guaranteed). Friendly staff. And they have snacks/food from a bunch of different counties that Is pretty cool. Even if you live a little ways away, it is worth the drive. read more

Great place! It's like two stores in one -- at least! Not only that, but I got (and I'm sure you can get, too!) a round-the-world tour through snacks! I was guided to see and have explained to me what so many things are, where they're from, given interesting information about many an item from many a place, and departed with bags of deliciousness! This store had so many things I didn't know I needed 'til I got there, such as a strobe-light-looking multi-coloured, shiny round glass with a straw .... I actually did know I needed this one particular item, had looked at such things online, but had never seen one in person until the magical night I showed up here! (It was the Fourth of July, by the way, so I also got to see fireworks coming from all directions while I drove home -- totally awesome!) The guidance I got (as in, world flavour tour with snacks!) was very friendly, even super-friendly, made me feel welcomed, and I got two varieties of potato chips from Lebanon, new-to-me dried fruit toffies, individually-wrapped thin dried fruit leather (that someone who saw me eating it thought was duct tape, ha ha!), and all kinds of other little goodies for here and there -- great for travelling! The only danger here is if you buy too much, it might throw off your car's steering or something -- thank goodness I have good suspension, ha ha! No, that won't happen for most of you -- I was just on a road trip at the time so my car was already overloaded ... but seriously, there is much tempting stuff to fill up some shopping bags in this place! (Speaking of bags, I bought a really nice one there, too!) This place is a really fun stop! It's also decorated with beautiful Turkish lamps you may notice if you look up or around enough .... How so much of a selection of so many things fits in here is just amazing -- really good work! Very organized. Full of surprises! Highly recommended! Yay! :-D read more

First time here. It's a bit overwhelming when you first walk in. There's ALOT happening. One side is a Persian/Middle Eastern grocery the other is a fully stocked smoke shop. The salesperson behind the counter was very helpful. They have everything from grinders to hookah supplies to smoke eaters. Really one of the best shops around. If you ever find yourself throwing a Middle Eastern themed party, this is your one stop shop. read more

Pars Market - Grocery Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I have been coming here for a very long time always Amazing customer service , and great products!!!

I was traveling for work and was looking for some JustCBD products (accidentally left mine at home) this place literally carried everything I typically purchase.The prices were seriously incredible, about half of what I normally pay. I wish I had one of these markets near me. Not only that I was immediately greeted by the owner, who is just a very pleasant human being. Extremely helpful, very very nice and just seemed happy that I was there, we definitely need more people like him in this world. So glad I found this place. read more

The store is cluttered yet still has small weird selections and expensive products. No middle eastern products at all sold anymore, and very odd unpleasant staff. read more

Conveniently located on Snowden River Parkway, Pars has all the items you need for a superb Shisha session. The gentleman working even suggested some tobacco options to try--worth a return visit. read more

I'm glad this place is open during this difficult time, because ya girl needs some shisha! It was Sunday, so I called prior to confirm they were open, which they were! They have a huge selection of shishas ranging from different brands such as Fumari, Starbuzz, Haze, Al Fakhar, etc. Only complaint is that the shisha bins are behind the counter and obviously customers aren't allowed. My eyes are terrible so I kept having to ask what each flavor was. Giving this place 4 starts because of the price point. A bit pricier than other places in Montgomery County, but since I was desperate I just bit the bullet. read more

Always have what I need and are super helpful and friendly. Great prices too! Definitely be back!

I love this little shop. I have a large shopping list when I go here since it's 25 miles from my house- the closest Persian grocery store to Annapplis. And I have always found what I needed; fresh barbari bread, French Feta cheese, sour fruit roll ups, spices, pumpkin seeds, etc. Tgeir prices align with other stores and the staff are very professional and kind. I go there as often as I can because I can depend on them. read more

Armin was so amazing and so sweet and helpful! I found everything I needed and more. 100/10 will be going back :)

The family who owns this shop couldn't be any nicer. I've been buying Kratom here for a while and would recommend them for that and smoke supplies. The only bad thing I can say is I got a bad batch. Not their fault at all, just don't even buy Earth Kratom. Always Choice. read more

An acupuncturist recommended CBD oil for anxiety mitigation. With a five star yelp review; Pars Market was a no brainer option. The owner was well informed, the store was well stocked with every smoke, vape, oil, even grocery need. It was clean too. A well deserved 5-Star. read more

Pars market has good inventory, smells really good, and Sky was very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. Will definitely be coming back read more

Clean s you ore, merchandise well laid out , good variety good quality. On premise bakery good bread right out of oven. customer service could be better but that's typical of Persian stores. 4 star with improved customer service can be 5 star. read more

Armin the Owner gives the best deals in the business & he always takes care of you like family when you walk into the store.

This is the best place ever! The man is amazing and extremely helpful! He walked me through all the steps and answered all the questions I had. I will will definitely come back here. I'm so happy I found this place ! This is my new go to place and it's right around my neighborhood! Yaaaaaassssssssss read more

It's my second time coming here and I've got to say the experience has been awesome. The first time I came to purchased my first hookah set up and he was very helpful. He has a huge selection of hookah and glass pieces. The second time around I came in to purchase a glass piece for my friend and I found the perfect one. I highly recommended paying him a visit and seeing what he has to offer. read more

Pars Market - Grocery Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I love this market! This is a real hidden gem in Columbia! It has so many wonderful surprises all over the store. From the neat, unusual drinks to a wide array of middle eastern dry goods, this place is cool. They also sell cbd, kava, nonalcoholic beers, and tons of tea. The owner truly seems to be the happiest man in the world. read more

Listen. I'm out here visiting family and I forgot ALL of my kratom. I searched for a seller and found some 48 5 star reviews. Pars Market. THEN when I went in, I found awesome quality and fair prices. But as usual what made the difference is the service. (I'm not sure but I believe it was the owner) Was very knowledgeable and helpful with everything. He even gave these kids in the store with their father some free candy. Stuff like that REALLY goes a long way with me. I've been here once and I love this place. read more

supper helpful not only for hookahs, vapes, or any questions you have but great imported snacks and all the workers there are very respectful and nice also answer any question you have. read more

Middle Eastern grocery stores are popping up in Columbia like crocuses in March. (Lord, I hope those crocus pop soon!) Pars Market opened last week on Snowden River Parkway in the same shopping center as Azul 17 and Nichi Bei Kai. This is a small store where the owner is still filling the shelves, but it -- like the Nazar Produce Market that opened on Oakland Park Blvd this month -- is already a resource for breads, spices, canned goods, and little treats like Turkish yogurt drinks and Iranian fruit rollups. For now, Pars has basic supplies to cook Middle Eastern food -- rice, lentils, bulgar wheat, spices, yogurt, etc. -- and an array of packaged items like pickles, grape leaves and even rose water. You can buy lavash and other breads, and there is a small refrigerated/frozen section. Check out the fruit rollups in the display by the counter. They're Iranian and quite delicious. Pars' owner seems really nice and enthusiastic. I picked up a bag of dried rose buds and brought them to the counter to ask what I would do with them. He said that he didn't know. So he called his sister on a cell phone, and we figured out together that they're used in teas and cooking for the rose aroma. He talked up the hookahs and peach tobacco, which I have to admit smelled delicious. read more

Stopped in this place with a friend not realizing what we were going to walk into!! Nothing but good things about this place. Well stocked, great variety, and service! Omid the cashier was a great help. Always had a smile on his face with great patience. Will be coming back in here next time I'm in the area :) read more

Super clean & well stocked. Mr Pars himself is quite nice. I got some Bulgarian feta cheese by the pound & it was really good. Kinda funky but in a good way. Store is on the smaller size so I didn't find some of my Middle Eastern spice staples, but he probably has every specialty Persian grocery item you'd want. The other reviewers aren't kidding about the extensive pipe/smoke display. It's pretty impressive. You can get great hookah/ shisha supplies here too. Parking is great & prices are reasonable for being in Columbia. read more

A really nice family-owned Middle Eastern market off Snowden River Parkway. They have a large selection of goods and groceries and they are very friendly. Come check out their hookahs and tobacco! read more

This place has everything I need. It's a practically a headshop in Columbia. The owner is super chill and laid back. He gives good discounts every once in a while. Good guy. Check this place out. This might be your next go-to read more

I go out of my way to come here! I lived in reisterstown pass countless smokeshops but I will only go to pars! Prices unbeatable, owner(armin) and staff are very patient and will ask any question. The staff showed me how to set up Hookah the persian way! The service makes you feel like your apart of family not just a dollar sign! read more

This might be the best store I've ever been to. The employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They will answer any questions you have, but they will not pester you if you just want to browse. I have to give a special shout-out to Armin! When it comes to smoking, he knows his stuff and is always willing to help. He has a great sense of humor and appears to genuinely love what he does. Does he ever have a bad day? I wouldn't feel right finishing this review without mentioning that they are actually willing to work with whatever price range you give! That may not mean a lot to you, but it's a relief for an impulsive person like myself. Is your budget for x item $60? Then they'll show you $60 or less items and not try to get you to go to $70. That always made me feel like the store didn't care about their customers and only business. I could go on, but I'll stop there :) read more

Not a local***I was in need of kratom, and I typically buy kratom by kilo. and best price I can find back in Florida was $170. Decided to message guy late last night (Armin) He got back with me immediately. They sold me kilo for $140! I was just in Seattle Tacoma area and couldn't find it for less than $320! Completely happy customer highly recommended for kratom! read more

This is an incredible Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Market. Armin was so friendly and helpful and single handily proves that customer service is not dead. He gave me great advice on what I needed for my own recipe and turned me on to the other great variety of spices, nuts, and fruits they have on hand. Tastings are highly encouraged and once you taste the high quality dates and nuts that Armin will be happy to tell you about, you'll be wanting to take them home. In addition, to the great service while I was in the store Armin continued to come to my rescue when I got home and realized that I misplaced my recipe in the store. He had it there for me and sent me a copy via IPhone so the I didn't have to come all the way back. Thanks Again! I look forward to my next visit to Pars Market! read more
