Great place for raw and marinated meats like goat chicken and stuff…read moreWish they had more marinated stuff A lot of their tray in the freezer are empty with nothing in it Haven't tried their raw meats however their marinated chicken tasted really good with great taste When ever I want to make butter chicken or tikka masala pick up marinated chicken cook and add to my gravies Much better than most of the other marinated stores in the area

A-1 Meat Shop In…read moreterms of butchers and providers of unbelievable meat (including Halal meat) A-1 is at the top of my list. Ever since I first had a taste of their pre-marinated meat, I knew it would be a lifelong partnership between us. A-1 started in England and was very successful, so much so that they opened one location in Vancouver and then another. With continued success they opened up a location in Brampton and have been hard sorting peeps out since. From the shop I or my peers will order multiple pounds of the following and proceed to BBQ it via indirect heat for upwards of 35-45min. This ensures that the chicken remains tender juicy and not dry and burnt/charred. Yellow Chicken Wings: This is my favourite marinade at A-1, it is stunningly sweet spicy and savory. Many a time have I eaten multiple pounds of these wings in one sitting, they are so good once you have one you can not stop. This meat is worthy of converting vegetarians. Red Chicken: You may be thinking tandoori but it's not exactly tandoori. I would say it definitely has some tandoori influence, but is definitely A-1's proprietary marinade. Effin' delicious. This chicken is typically available in drumstick, legs, breasts and wings. Red Fish: The fish they use is White Fish and it has the same rub as the chicken above. This item is borderline unreal and if you follow the indirect heating procedure you will ensure you get the most out of this fish. The key is to not overcook it and move it around too much, or the fish will break apart and become dry. Other than the above A-1 also has regular chicken, lamb and other meats for sale. The Brampton location typically has their Red Chicken drumsticks in a rotisserie throughout the day to satisfy patrons who can't wait until they get home to cook the chicken. Order a few pieces from the rotisserie and they will hit it up with garama masala, lemon and massive chunks of onion...Heavenly. The dudes that work at A-1 are very nice people and patient with you if you're a first timer. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and flavour of the meat, the storefront and atmosphere is approachable and clean, and their website is solid with great pics, pricing and even recipes. Definitely my favourite BBQ resource.

This is a store my Baba frequents, and I don't blame her given the variety of Eastern European…read morebrands and products they sell - I'm sure she feels nostalgic and a bit more at home shopping here. It is not a place I think of at the get-go when I need to do groceries, simply because it's a bit out of the way. However when it came to Mother's Day high tea planning, I stopped in here to pick up some Smoked Salmon since I was in the area. There was a line when we arrived, but it went quick and also gave us time to snoop some of the fresh herb plants before entering the store. The store is neatly laid out, and it's very evident where the different departments are located - whether that be to the great layout or the extremely visible signage, they are doing that well. What I couldn't help but notice was the huge variety of oils. I have never seen such a wide selection at a regular grocery store. Their cheese/deli/dairy section seemed to be quite extensive as well. When it came to grabbing the smoked salmon, I was impressed there was more than one kind to choose from. Each looked fresh and delicious, and priced fairly in my opinion. We went with the Atlantic Smoked Salmon. I found it a bit greasy once we got it home, but I have no complaints on the taste. If we had more time I would have loved to find some items that maybe my Baba enjoyed back home - maybe that is a future Baba/Natalie date I can plan :)

I walked in at 8:58 PM and they were closed. Even though the sign says 9PM close. This is the…read moresecond time this has happened. Lame.

I've visited The Local by Massary twice now. It's an extension of the Egyptian restaurant Massary…read morein the same plaza and doubles as a café and specialty grocery store. They sell fresh and frozen meats, groceries, candles, perfumes, and more. The café itself is laptop friendly with outlets available, and there's also a prayer room. My only complaint is that the seating is a bit too tight. There are a lot of tables and chairs packed into the space, which makes it difficult to move around comfortably. The drinks have been the highlight for me. The Iced Spanish Latte was my favorite (9/10), followed by the Iced Biscoff Latte (8/10). I also tried the peach sparkling lemonade. It was refreshing, but it tasted more like a fruit punch than a lemonade because the lemonade flavor didn't come through as much (7/10). For pastries, I tried the Dubai cookie and the Dubai croissant. Unfortunately, neither was a favorite. The cookie had more of a cake batter flavor, and the croissant just didn't quite come together for me. I'd give both a 5/10. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks.

Coming from anyone who hates anything to do with raw meat, this is hands down the best place to get…read moreyour meats from and the one place that got me OK to deal with any raw meats. The butcher is so clean and the meat quality is evident. It is the ONLY butcher I trust to get any of my meats and chicken. I have tried their steaks, chicken and lamb and loved every single one. The quality is evident in the taste when you try it, but the best part has to be the cleanliness of the meats. I never see a single drop of blood in my meats and I find it so clean and nice. You get what you paid for and the customer service is excellent. We accidentally arrived 5-10 minutes after closing the other day and the team was still willing to accommodate and give us our order, which was so kind from their end. No surprise there as anything by Masrawy is the best, whether it's the food at the restaurant, the Local Cafe and market or the butcher shop. I'm so glad this butcher shop has opened and you'll definitely see me here as a regular customer. They don't compromise on quality!
