If mister (racist right wing politician) Wilders wants to arrange for less Maroccan people In the Netherlands, then he has never been here. Very small indeed but packed to the ceiling with more variety of food ware than you can imagine. If you need something from a recipe and you've never heard of it before: Mabrouk has it. The most kind and cheerfull guys are working here, working their butts off and fast as humanly possible :) The check-out line goes through the shop and is sometimes very very long (almost the whole shop) but don't you worry, you'll be next to pay in minutes. Also: do come here when your budget is low, the prices are really moderate. Fresh fruits and vegetables are increasingly biological, the meat still isn't but since Mart Smeets buys his meat here, I guess it's the best! Check the pictures. I just love love love Mabrouk!

I would pass Mabrouk multiple times, completely oblivious of what a a gem it is. I decided to wonder on in here out of curiousity, and loved everybit of it. My eyes lit up over so many of their products. The only downer about this market, it can get real tight in here. Never the less, Mabrouk has some great products worth checking out and the majority of the items are price reasonable. Surprisingly you will also find a few gluten-free products in here as well.

It's a smaller version of the Albert Cuyp Market so it has a more small village, kind of Disney like feel to it.

All of the sellers and staff are very nice and passionate about the products they sell. You can also check out the Church in the middle of the square which is free.
