Success!! This is my 2nd visit to Sultans Market, the last nearly 2 years ago. The guy that helped me is likely the manager or owner, I did not ask. But to my delight he was a friend of Chef Yousef and was able to direct me to the olives, zaatar and olive oil I needed to complete my mission. The olive oil was freshly pressed Palestinian Extra Virgen oil very high in polyphenols (43 X) for you health aficionados. Better, less expensive and larger quantity than the expensive "polyphenol-rich" version (34X) sold online and advertised in social media. It was a perfect match and compliment to the hummus. Also found a delightful jar of olives from Jordan, packed in olive oil with lemon, bay leaf and slightly zesty yellow pepper that paired nicely with my other ingredients. Then, the perfect resealable package of Zaatar to mix will the olive oil for dipping pita bread. Last I bought some halal mediterranean style seasoned chicken for the air fryer at home. The last picture shows the results of my adventure today, I can not believe how many olives I ended up eating! On my 1st visit shopping at this Mediterranean Market was an impulse for me as I drove down Busch this morning. A pleasant surprise for an adventurous cook. There was some beautiful fresh lamb. I bought cryovac greek olives, some Indian Spice, baklava, hummus, fresh zuchini and other items. I disliked the cryovac olives intensely, not sure of their purpose but avoid them. This place was well stocked, diverse, somewhat busy and fun to browse. A nice lady shopper volunteered cooking advice on items I bought. As I venture into that genre of cooking, this store is going to be essential with their treasure trove of spices, fresh halal lamb, veggies and halal chicken and myriad of other products. The more I learn, the more I like this place. One large advantage is the variety, cost, quality, scope and breadth of products compared to the tiny amount of shelf space dedicated to these items in a grocery store. A place to broaden your horizons. Come get ya' some!

It's a fairly small store and not stocked as well as it could be ideally, but they do have a great…read moreselection of Middle Eastern spices by the Green Land Company (same as the restaurant next door's ownership, I believe) and also some really wonderful sweets--their burma is the best I've ever had and their baklava is pretty good, too. There seems to be a high turn-over on their sweets, a great thing because if they're selling every day that means they're likely fresh every day or so. I've not purchased meat here but have heard and read on Yelp their butcher is also highly recommended. The bad? Nothing so bad, but again, not the largest store or selection. And it's nearly totally Jordanian/Lebanese it seems, no Turkish or Persian or Iraqi goods, really. I was disappointed they lacked some Turkish teas and jams I've been searching after, in example. The owner is very nice but his English seems a bit limited. I speak Turkish but alas, not Arabic, so we both were a bit limited I suppose. All in all, a good store and certainly a great source for exceptional sweets.

If you are unfamiliar with this type of food I recommend the giant pitas (bigger is better, just ask my wife) and any of the fresh bakery goods and desserts, Armenian string cheese, lebaneh a white spread a bit thicker than sour cream, honey with nuts, dates, nuts, seeds, couscous and the milky drink which is mint flavored with green on the label.

I love the basbousa here so much, it's deliciously moist and the texture is perfect and heavenly. I ended up taking a small pack of it home, and actually got a cup of the milk pudding for free! Please check this little place out, the owner's friendliness is so contagious you will come out of here with a big smile on your face.

There's also bulk candy bins for more unusual gummy options, nuts behind the deli counter glass, and a back room with tea sets and similar small home things. If you've never been to a store like this before, don't worry, they will guide you and explain anything if you have questions. It's a great little shop that's totally worth checking out.

Also the have wholesale items and all kinds of international stuff to make different cuisines, plus containers, plating, etc..
