What stood out even more was how kind and considerate the staff was. I was there on crutches, and one of the employees even asked if I would like them to get a cart for me. It wasn't necessary, but it was such a thoughtful gesture and very much appreciated. My family and I really enjoyed our experience, and we're already planning when we can go back. It's always nice to shop somewhere where you feel welcomed and taken care of.

If you are looking for ingredients or foods, fresh or packaged from around the world, this is the place to go. A lot of Asian and African things, this will be my go to place from now on. It was so busy that we had a hard time finding parking. The shelves are stocked well and the employee's were stocking shelves everywhere. Even though it was busy, the cashier quickly got us checked out.

The man at the front counter not only told me where to find it, he offered to get both for me! And when I told my friend she could wait in the car, he told her " I'll make sure she gets back to the car safely." Proving yet again how wonderful Ghanaians are. I wish I had reason to shop here more often, and certainly look forward to my next visit . P.S., I was told the goat for the kebabs was wonderful, and I was graded A+ !! I got a B+ for my jollof; no kanzo.. but I'll take it for my first attempt

Been watching them work on this space for awhile, noticed today that it's open…read more Smaller inside than it looks from the outside (another business occupies the other end of this fairly big building along 161.) But plenty of products, and open space to add more stuff. Cold cases around the edges with frozen foods on the left, dairy and cold beverages and meat on the right, and meat counter in the back. Loads of dry goods: pasta, rice, spices, snacks, etc. Produce near dairy; not as much as I expected. Seems to carry mainly African and Middle Eastern goods. We picked up a few things. Reasonably priced. Great service. Handy and interesting, so we'll be back.

Not much ramen but they did have half a dozen varieties. Many other dry goods, mainly African and Middle Eastern. A big selection of dates. Some drinks, some snacks. Big butcher section.

Asia Market? International Grocery? The name depends on which side you are standing on, because…read morethe signs say different things. But it's a good, small Asian market. Most of the stuff is Vietnamese, and the super friendly owners seem to be, so if that is what you are looking for you are in luck. I didn't know what a lot of the stuff was, but found a few things I knew and a few things I wanted to try. Owner was very helpful, and easy to talk to about many topics (we had a long chat about the current situation.) Lots of dry goods, a big frozen section, fish, meat, some produce. A few household things. The most scotch bonnet peppers I've ever seen in one place. Prices are reasonable. Store is clean and organized. Handy location. I had been nearby before but never stopped, and I will be back now that I have seen it up close.

Amazing experience!…read more I decided to go to Los Laureles with my wife and a few of her coworkers and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious these tacos were! First of all, Los Laureles has EVERYTHING you can imagine. One of the guys ended up getting tongue and tripe tacos. Not my cup of tea, but he said that they're the best that he's had! I opted for the mexican style street tacos. If you want lettuce, sour cream, tomato - they have an American version! The lady who took our order was very kind and gave us a lot of recommendations! The chicken was flavorful and the combination of cilantro and lime was amazing! I love a good street taco and they definitely know what they're doing! Keep in mind, this is a smaller supermarket so there are customers walking around with groceries. There were a handful of smaller tables and they all seemed to fill up fast! This must be a well known location for delicious food because they were busy the entire time we were there! The atmosphere is very relaxed! Don't feel like you need to dress up or anything. Just go ready to enjoy a delicious taco!

The steak quesadilla from los Laureles was a close match to the viral sensation. An amazing huge quesadilla for 10.99 was quite a deal. The rice and beans sides were also great.

Finally made it here. Love the other location, and this is closer, by a bit, but not really on my…read moreway anywhere. Glad something is filling the old Kroger slot, and that there is a grocery store in the area. It's medium-sized, like the other one, and you could do all your shopping here. Lots of produce, meat, dry goods, bakery area, etc. And all the expected Asian and Mexican sundries. Well, most of them. I could not find horchata mix, or the soap flakes we use to make our own detergent- both surprises. But they have lots of other good stuff. Snacks, ramen, oddball ingredients, tons of interesting frozen items. Want squid? 3 cases in the frozen aisle, plus dried squid snacks. I saw two cases of sweet corn in the frozen area, and will be back for those heirloom varieties. Good service, decent prices, big selection. It will be a more frequent stop, I'm sure. Not nearly as busy as Kroger was, or even the other Saraga, so social distancing wasn't an issue. Looks like there are two restaurants in there, Mexican and Somali/Italian, but neither were open when I visited at 9am.

A bit disappointed. We often go to their other store on Morse road and, although it's not amazing,…read moreit makes this Saraga look quite inferior. Not as well stocked and probably 80% of what they have doesn't have a price on it. Not on the item or the shelf. The place is quite disheveled and not very clean.

You may note, as I often do, that this is the sort of pairing arrangement that is sometimes found with ethnic restaurants - a restaurant and a small grocery specializing in ethnic food and items. Ashtown Market features fresh produce, some of a more exotic nature, and Halal meats. If you haven't before shopped in such a market, it is a wonderful experience, and Ashtown African Market would be a great place to give it a try!

Service is friendly enough on checkout, but no one ever comes to help. They have what I'm looking for about half the time. I come in more because it is handy in the area than because it is a favorite. Plenty of parking in this rather quiet strip mall. Nothing here that is a big draw, but there are several places worth visiting just to check out, so you can throw this in the mix while you are stopping in some of the other shops. Just don't expect much.

The grocery suffers a bit from inheriting a much larger space than it needs (the former Westerville Market, whose logo can still be seen on the baskets and shopping carts); if Asian Grocery were in a space the size of Luc's or Westgate Thai, it wouldn't feel as empty as it usually does. Asian Grocery has put some of their extra space to good use, now that they've opened Pho Saigon, which is hands down the best Vietnamese food that one will find in Columbus (see my review). Pho Saigon aside, there are things that make Asian Grocery worth shopping at. The produce is generally among the freshest you'll find at the various Asian groceries in Columbus, and as one would expect of a Vietnamese grocery, it's a broad range: various Chinese cabbages, squashes, okra, green papaya, bean sprouts, lots of Vietnamese herbs. If you come in the appropriate season, you can find fresh lychee, longan, mangosteen, jackfruit, and dragonfruit. If you know where to look, there are also things they prepare themselves - plastic containers full of homemade salted mustard cabbage (good for stir-frying with pork), and in preparation for the Chinese New Year, freshly-made Vietnamese rice dumplings stuffed with coconut (see my photos). It's not the prettiest grocery shopping experience, but you can't eat atmosphere, can you?
