Fresh World International Market exceeded every expectation I had. This is the kind of place you…read morealmost don't want to tell people about because it's such a wonderful hidden treasure. Their seafood department deserves special recognition. The fish is exceptionally fresh, and the employees are knowledgeable and happy to prepare it however you prefer. That level of customer service makes a huge difference. The international grocery selection is one of the best I've seen. They carry authentic products from many countries, including items that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. If you enjoy cooking international cuisine, you'll probably leave with more than you planned to buy. Another thing that impressed me was how clean and organized the store is. Everything is neatly displayed, making shopping easy and enjoyable. The staff is approachable, patient, and always willing to answer questions or help you find what you need. I was also amazed by the flower section. I purchased gorgeous roses at a great price, and they looked fresher and more beautiful than flowers I've seen at many traditional grocery stores. The fruits and vegetables were equally impressive--beautiful, fresh, and in excellent condition. Fresh World has earned a loyal customer. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding quality, exceptional service, and one of the best international grocery shopping experiences in the area. Five stars without hesitation.

I don't get out to the Sauson International Grocery as often as I used to, but I still make the…read moretrip 1-2 times a month for mainly one thing: some of the freshest and tastiest bread in all of the DMV. Every culture has their own interpretation of taking the basic ingredients of flour, yeast, salt and water and transforming it via various baking methods into their version of "bread." There is a long history of using circular oval shaped ovens in Asia and the Middle East as a way of both conserving space and to efficiently cook foods with even heat distribution and small footprints in otherwise cramped kitchens. In India these ovens are called tandoors while in Japan they are referenced as kamados. Sauson International Grocery has been in operation since 2011, and the owner, who everyone knows as "Mr. Rashid," is of Persian descent having emigrated from Iran. He is always super friendly and willing to answer questions I may have about the wide variety of Middle Eastern spices and foods this place stocks. Don't be surprised if you strike up a conversation with him, and he offers you a cup of wonderfully spiced tea and a cookie or pastry from the delectable dessert case. As some of the reviews have noted, parking is tricky. There is a small covered garage under the building. But you may have to park at the nearby church or on the street and then walk over to the store. This place is well known for their bread, which is being made throughout the day. I came a bit later today, so they had just finished making a few batches. But it's not uncommon to witness skilled bakers kneading and rolling, and then slapping the dough onto the circular metallic oven for a few minutes, before piping hot fresh bread emerges. The bread is amazing. It is pliable, without being overly chewy. It is slightly salty, with a great smoky almost charred flavor. I've had it cut into pieces and then dipped with hummus or rolled into gyros or used to sandwich kabob meat. And believe it or not, it's even pretty good as a PB&J. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I've introduced this product to usually asks: (1). What type of bread is this? and (2). Where can I buy it? Note: As of this review, the current price is $8.05 for FOUR large round pieces of bread. Apart from the bread, there is also a small butcher shop in the back, and a kitchen where hot foods like kabob platters are made. There is also a small seating area in front of the store, where folks can sip tea and relax while enjoying sweets from the display case. Sauson is a really cool place and while I usually go with the intention of only buying bread, it's not uncommon for me to walk out with a few bags of unique Middle Eastern groceries.

They also run daily specials. Got pork tamales (wrapped in banana leaf), corn cake tamale (in corn husk), chicken fajitas & seafood soup. Hubs loved his fajitas- the flour tortillas was thicker than expected (hard to roll) - next time he'll ask for thinner ones. The chicken was delish - on his top 2 list! The refied beans were bit salty. The pork tamale was excellent- moist & yummy. The corn tamale- way too dry. The seafood soup was pricey at $21, but mom & I shared for 2 meals. We're not big green pepper fans, otherwise really good with lots of seafood! We'll be back for sure, living so close by!

Beef and chicken was crispy, chicken was a bit on the dry side but still love! They also have lots of yummy one of a kind ice creams made with yogurt and milk. . This place is hidden inside a small plaza and only a street light from my work so I will probably come by here all the time!

There is a restaurant within this store, which people are reviewing on this page--Amma's Kitchen--but has it's own Yelp page, so this review is just for the store. Basically, you come here for the groceries and not the customer service, unless you know the staff. They have the rare south Indian gems that cannot be found in most of the other Indian stores (various Daily Delight products), along with regular Indian groceries. It is a bit out of the way, but sometimes a necessary trip. They sell all the usual items: produce, Indian snacks, pickles, etc.
