A Turkish grocery store in Lombok? Wat leuk!…read more I come here a couple times per week and I really like this place. It must have the best selection of spices and grocery type stuff on Kanaalstraat. They have an extremely large deli area where you can buy dolmas, hummus, olives and other stuff by weight - and it's excellent. They always seem to have a good variety of produce and prices are reasonable. It's not the cheapest on the street, but it's worth it. They do NOT have a butcher counter like most other stores, and they are not open as late as the other vendors .

I love this shop. Ever since we moved to the Netherlands and my father found the Kanaalstraat, he's…read morebeen dragging me there. Yes, dragging, I don't really find Kanaalstraat all too interesting. We used to have a few shops that we frequented that have now gone that I didn't mind going to. But this shop, this one I even volunteer to go to! My dad loves to find some of the stuff that we buy in Israel and can't usually get here and quite frankly, I do too! I must say that the shop has lost a little bit of it's charm with the redecorating they did last year, but it does look a lot neater and it means more room for the gigantic assortment of nuts they added, including chocolate covered nuts. Mmm... Other than that, the shop has a nice array of cheeses, high quality fresh produce, lovely snacks and ingredients that you just can't get at a Dutch store and also a lot of different pasta's, pulses and sweets. The only thing I can't quite figure out is why the store is called Perse Polis and it says to be a Persian grocery store. My dad being a chatty Cathy of course knows his vendors and these guys are Iranian! Oh well, I'm not sure it's even a mystery that I want to solve. ;)

The food all looks fresh and they actually have vegetarian options. It's super expensive though. At…read moreleast, it's expensive for what you get. I had been here before already, but that day they had nothing really. I suppose you have to be here on time if you want to be able to eat something. Today however, they were fully stocked so we had enough to choose from. We bought some Waldorf salad, vegetarian pasta salad, chicken "vinkjes" (kind of mini meatloaf) and some new potatoes. The vegetarian salad is tasty, le boyfriend enjoyed his Waldorf and chicken, but the new potatoes were nothing special. Also the potatoes were just slightly overcooked which is a shame. I suppose I'd come back here, but only if my wallet is feeling a bit fat and needs some trimming down. ;) Update: everything with chicken was best the same day, but the veggie pasta salad was super yum after two days! Also inspired me to spruce up my own pasta salad recipe. ;)

What an incredible grocery store! Isle after isle of everything you could possibly dream of... a…read morebakery section, all kinds of meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables, you name it! We visit Utrecht from the U.S. and the place we stay at is super close to Jumbo (yay!!). When we don't feel like going to a restaurant or cooking, we sometimes buy the prepared meals that Jumbo offers. They are so good! I also agree with Leah who sent in a review, that the prices there are GREAT! I will add a couple of photos. :)

I love JUMBO! Everything you want from a grocery store from stocked fresh produce to cheap prices…read more I lived in Utrecht for a few months and I made a trip to JUMBO everyday! The employees were nice and helpful whenever I asked questions ( I'm from the U.S. so I often had a hard time reading the Dutch labels) but they always tried their best to help me find products. The bakery section always had fresh pastries from donuts to baguettes. I also really appreciated the various checkout lanes which made checking out fairly quick. Nothing bad to say about this grocery store with the bright yellow letters :)
