If you are tired of shopping at one of the big chain grocery stores and are looking for something…read moreunique with tradition behind it, Tradishn Market & Café might be for you. As I was able to finally utilize this Eastern European/Central Asian store early afternoon on a beautiful Monday, I felt compelled to write about my experience. It's located in this quiet strip mall in the southeastern corner of E Smokey Hill Rd and Chambers, its existence is somewhat overshadowed by the sports bar next door. Had I not come to this mall to work my side gig shift at the very bar, I don't think I would have ever found this cute market/deli/café. Small markets such as this tend to sell the normal groceries with higher price tags. I think I at least saw a review left by one of the past users who said it. And yet, based on my shopping experience this afternoon, I somewhat disagree to that opinion. I didn't buy much. As my refrigerator still had good variety of foods left, I only wanted a few to several items: namely rare finds. When I try a business that I have never used before, I bring my authentic self with curiosity bigger than one of the 14ers in Colorado. Hence, I arrived to it with so much expectation and anticipation. The store looked quiet at 12:50pm. Instead of the workers, one of the patrons who said he lived across from the street said a pleasant hi to me. He was enjoying his little him time at one of the tables upfront. Inside is quite modern. And cute/adorable as well. After passing the café area where they can make drinks, I proceeded to what appeared to be the deli section. Then I immediately saw their "prepared" foods. After carefully investigating each one, I grabbed the attention of one of the ladies all the way to the meat section for assistance. I picked what appeared to be rolled cabbage meat (so no cabbage around it; it appeared to be chicken so chicken hamburger meat type thing), stirred fried veggies that included eggplant, cauliflower, red pepper etc. and grape leaves (and yet, per the lady, what's inside the leaves was ground beef.) She carefully placed all of them in two separate containers for me to take home. I had no clue how much the per pound price for the prepared foods was but I really didn't care to be freak. And for the next 15-20 minute or so, I walked slowly to browse each aisle. The items they carry at this store were quite unique where some of the packages are/were written (I believe) in Russian language. Quite intriguing indeed. As much as I wanted to immerse myself in the foods that I have never had before, I exercised discipline by not buying all those "unknown" items. It was hard though! Like I said, it was my uncontrollable curiosity that drove me nuts while walking around! I ended up with only 4 items in the basket. When the lady upfront rang them up, I realized that the per pound price for the prepared foods was only $5.99 so between the two containers, it was only $10 with some change. Wow! This was not expected. I thought each one would be easily $10 so I was expecting to pay close to $20 for both. As soon as I got home, I tried all the prepared foods. And all of them are/were well-seasoned/prepared/cooked in a family style cooking. As I got to savor the "Tradishn" of the cuisines they boast about at this shop, my happy tummy was literally smiling with joy. This place didn't disappoint. This somewhat tiny in size but mighty in quality market quietly exists in a little space in the city of Aurora. And as the store's name says it all, it does carry the authenticity with modern twists. I quite fancy this place!

I'm of course referring to the stunning souk near Kennedy Golf Course called Mecca Market. Let's make a little trip of our own, and discover the wonders within. One thing that's always stood out to me about MM is its inventory of items representing North Africa. Have you ever wanted to make the flaky, delicious, and very messy Tunisian pastries known (in their singular form) as Brik? You can find the dough - or, more properly, Malsouka - to do just that, right here. Much-loved Moroccan sodas, such as the unexpectedly-yet-aptly-named tropical wonder Hawai, are also available in the market's bountiful beverage aisle. And of course, you can find plump, sun-sweet Deglet Nour dates from Algeria here too. Other memorable Maghrebi merchandise includes (but is not limited to) tempting tinned sardines, boxes of caramel pudding mix (reflecting the area's heavy French history), flavorful fig jam and even jumbo jars of spreadable chocolate/hazelnut paste (like Nutella, but even better). But this isn't the only region whose delights can be found within these walls - far from it! So let's peek a bit more closely to see what other crafty and clever curiosities await. One of my favorite desserts from the Middle East in fact goes by many names - Bamieh in Iran, Awameh in Syria, and Legimat in Sudan just to give a few examples. But no matter what you may call them, they're basically all sweetened donut puffs. And when I'm not feeling particularly inclined to go through all the steps of making them, I can just buy a box of premixed powder (readily available here at MM) and enjoy them in a fraction of the time. Of course, the more serious cooks among you can find plenty to please here too, from fresh grape leaves, to Halal (but of course!) meats, to saffron, Dibs al-Kharrub (carob molasses), and Kamoun Sufi ("woolly cumin", so named because of the thin fibers covering the seeds). And I have to devote just a bit of space to the snacks available here, like orange- and lemon-filled wafer cookies, paprika potato chips, and Cadbury chocolate bars. Yes, even after one visit I think you'll find that Mecca Market has things to appeal to all kinds of culinary voyagers.

Very much a mom & pop type of place. It's a super small shop, lots of authentic foods and I really love the deli case and candy options. I wasn't as adventurous with the unknown cans/spices, but looks like any foodies dream when you walk in. We picked up a pound of smoked bacon which was amazing, and pierogis from the freezer in the back. Pro tip - they let you get half a bag instead of a full one. They're weighed by the pound, I think we got 2 1/2 pounds which was about $25/30. The pierogis turned out great, just boiled for a few minutes then pan fried in some butter with seasonings. We ate off the bag twice, my husband eats big portions. We also got a free candy with our purchase, shown in the picture. I would honestly go back again just for more of their candy options!
