Saraga International Grocery had such a great selection of international foods, drinks, and…read moreingredients -- there was so much variety to explore. 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.

Five sausages included with spiced onions and tomato slices. On weekends they have three types of stuffed savory pastry burak available. But you don't have to be ready to eat right then and there. Available frozen are whole burak that just need 30 minutes in the oven. You can call ahead and they will put it in their oven for you to pick up hot when you arrive. They also have fresh sausages made weekly on site as well as frozen ones. Fresh cheeses with feta from multiple countries on tap. As the name suggests it is also a market. Cookies, chips, coffee and drinks line clean and accessible shelves alongside the spices and canned ingredients for a wide range of regional dishes. Finally the family business is super helpful folks from the region who patiently walked this first timer through all they offer. They were also willing to hear about my trips to four Balkan countries and the nostalgia seeing all the food brought back.

Bright and clean inside, loads of dry goods, snacks, drinks, frozen items, pastries, meats... Most of the pastries and sausages are made here. They can grill some kevapi up for you, or you can take them home. Since I'm heading to the Serbian Festival this weekend I figured I could wait, but I did get some spicy leek sausage for later. Also assorted baklava and other pastries, and a few odds and ends. Good prices. Great service. Friendly, helpful owners. Easy access off the highway. Plenty of parking, in the mall by the home store. Worth a detour.

My other favorite is the roasted duck stand next to Thai Golden Bowl -- shaxian delicacies. I just learned you can order roast duck with rice as a meal so I got some to go yesterday and boy howdy! This is one of the best things I've had in a long time. Truthfully I love duck more than the average person and this is that perfectly seasoned, greasy in the best way kind of duck! The grocery itself is large and clean with a great selection of Asian foods and products. Cashiers are friendly enough and lines go quickly.

Bright, open, pleasant. Rows and rows of things from all over, sorted by region but you may as well walk up and down all of them and see what you find. For example, I was looking for drinks, and of course they are at half a dozen spots for various areas of the world. I found new things, got old favorites. Checkout was quick on a weekday. Prices are, I assume, decent, though how do you judge the price of something you've never even heard of? Big parking lot. Separate entrances and exits- by quite a lot.

I got here with only half an hour to shop, but plan to be back SOON to check out their GREAT selection of fruits, vegetables, and TONS of authentic ingredients from around the world, esp. Asia and L. America. One tiny complaint, there are MANY items with prices not marked. Was a little nervous about choosing items with the "mystery prices." I love all the wonderful international markets in the Columbus area!! The west side is AMAZINGLY diverse (as is most of the city...) and I love it!! This semi hidden gem is ALMOST as good as Saraga on the North side, and 1000x better than anything we've got in the Springfield/Dayton area. No restaurants/food stands inside, but PLENTY of TEMPTING food trucks nearby. You'll be HUNGRY when you leave here!! Take a break from the same old-same old Kroger/Meijer/etc. options and check out your WONDERFUL international options, Columbus!!!

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.

I was researching and stumbled upon this Asian grocery store with a bakery and various vendors for hot foods. We stopped by on a Monday afternoon around 4 pm and there were a good variety of baked goods at Delight Four Bakery. I bought the following: pineapple bun, pineapple custard bun, coconut bun, cocktail bun, wife cake, walnut cookies, mochi with crushed peanuts, and paper-wrapped sponge cake. Everything held up well in our insulated cooler bags and made it safely through our +6 hour trip home. All of the bread, cake, and mochi were flavorful, soft, and tender. The cookies remained crisp. My favorite bun is the cocktail bun. It is a little different from the usual because the filling has a slight crunch to it. My one and only complaint is that the pineapple bun's crust was not thick enough. Otherwise, I would likely repeat every item and also venture out to try other items. We also browsed the grocery store and picked up a tin of mooncake because the local Chinese stores by our home do not carry that brand.
