Great selection of dried vegetables, jerky, and plums, prunes, pickled mangoes, pickled and spiced prunes and olives and so much more! This is our go-to place for getting the dried, salty, spicy, pickled plums/prunes. My grandpa used to love eating these types of snacks and he passed it down to us! We buy a quarter to a third lb bag of some of their selections. I agree with other reviewers, they are expensive and overly-priced. Perhaps due to the fact that it's imported. The staff are not too friendly but if you catch them on a good day, they will lighten up They will also walk around and let you taste some and cut you samples of ones you want to try. I like their 3-flavored tea they serve at the door. I have yet to find a store like this in the bay area that serves a wide array of dried imported food and mostly plums.

I got my cousin to buy me some stuff from here and send it to me since I am in Florida. I am very disappointed! I found a cigarette butt in one of the bags of dried prunes. At first I didn't know what it was but I knew it definitely wasn't a dried prune so I pulled apart one of the ends and sure enough it was a cigarette butt. It makes me wonder what else is in here that is not supposed to be there. I spent about $300 at this store and now I am just going to throw everything in the trash.

*** Try EVERYTHING, but only buy what you like! *** ** Beware of the pushy sales people ** * Be firm with the amount that you want * I like their spicy beef jerky and yes I did get suckered in. I admit it.. The beef jerky costs $22 per lb. Yikes! I also got the dried squid which was also $22 per lb. The selection isn't so bad. They have other selection as well but I came there mainly for their beef jerky. What I DON'T like about the place is that the sales people are very pushy and they put more in the bag than you requested. The moment they feel that you're going to buy something, you'll have a bunch of sales people all over you...

The shop isn't very big but feels super clean inside and it doesn't have a meat smell. There's two huge meat fridges showing you what they have, plus couple fridges and shelves filled with stuff that you might need to cook with your food like spices, aromatics, seasonings. The staff here are really nice and helpful too. They even give you complimentary containers of their salt rub. My partner and I specifically come here specifically for their Picanha steaks which are extremely high quality and affordable. They're great to cook using the reverse sear method or grill like they do at Brazilian steak houses. They taste fantastic with chimichurri or even just with flaky salt because of how buttery the steaks are on their own. The last time we were here, we got 10 steaks for around $150 and we seriously thought we'd be spending way more. Of course the cost will depend on what you, like the prime rib here is very expensive, but weigh out your options! I do think everything else here seems to be a great price for the quality compared to mass grocers. I'd highly recommend anyone to check out this shop!

If you're looking for halal Mediterranean/Egyptian food, this spot is definitely worth checking…read moreout! They have tons of options and are very vegetarian-friendly as well. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste the quality in every dish. I especially loved the grilled meats -- they had that perfect smoky char flavor straight from the grill. The staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the different dishes and the best way to enjoy them. Beef, Kofta & Chicken: Super flavorful and packed with spices, with an amazing grilled/charred flavor. I loved being able to build my own wrap with all the different veggies and sauces! Hawawshi Traditional (Egyptian Meat Pie): Similar to arayes, but even more flavorful and juicy. It comes generously stuffed, and the arugula paired perfectly with it. Chicken Breast Bowl: OMG, the fries were so good! The chicken and fries combo worked perfectly together. The chicken had subtle hints of lime and was served over a creamy mayo-style sauce that tied everything together. Salad: Light, refreshing, and topped with onions, pickled veggies, fruit, and vinaigrette. Overall, it's such a fun and casual place to hang out. There's an outdoor patio with self-serve tea and water, and I loved the cozy lights and tent setup. I'll definitely be back!

During that time, the staff never acknowledged us, and we had to make several attempts to get someone's attention just to ask about our order. The food ended up being good but not enough to justify the long wait. The dining area was also a letdown. The enclosed patio with its clear plastic covering trapped the heat, making it feel like we were sitting inside a greenhouse. It was uncomfortably warm and made the meal much less enjoyable. Overall, the food was fine, but the combination of the long wait, lack of communication, and uncomfortable dining area made for a disappointing experience.

I haven't been able to find their complimentary chai anymore. Mithai purchases from here have been a miss in the past so we don't buy sweets from here. Amul and Vadilal brands are easily found in the frozen section. Lines are longest in the evenings with only two cashiers at the counter. Garlic has been a hit or a miss at times. Samosa at the hot snacks section is just okay. I would still continue to get grocery from here because it's fresh and convenient. Bonus points for the best lychee you can find in the Bay Area!

My bf comes here regularly for vegetables and other grocery items, and the quality of products here…read moreis overall fine. But there is one rare item I am addicted to, the fruiti-o mango nectar, which is tucked away at the corner of the refrigerated section in the store alongside a couple other unique flavors. The mango juice I was particularly looking for was well in stock when we stopped by this past Sunday. It is so yummy, and not too sweet. When we first arrived, the tantalizing aroma of fresh jalebi being fried outside the entrance caught my attention. I didn't even know what it was, but I saw the sign and watched the guy making it, and I wanted some. Like many markets they also cook a range of food here, though I didn't see it happening in the store so I'm not sure where. Unfortunately the scent of food can be smelt throughout the store while shopping, so it's like being in a restaurant where your clothes absorb the strong odors of ethnic dishes, and it will follow you home if you're in there too long... I think since the place was kinda crowded the weekend before xmas, it was a combination of the people and the food actually. But at least they had the juice we wanted, along with veggies we picked up as well. Service was sufficient, and we got outta there before it was too late.

My husband and I visited while waiting for a table at Flaming Ox, the restaurant next door. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the cashier and we browsed around leisurely looking at all the different food items. This establishment is small, but there are so many different offerings: pineapple cakes (a Taiwanese staple), chili oil, tea, coffee, ice cream, and so much more. I'd really love to come back here and try out the more unique foods like their rice cakes and mung bean ice cream, but my husband and I got a notification that our table was ready so we went to eat our lunch. We returned after our meal and were greeted again. We looked at all the pineapple cakes again because my family enjoys them so much and my husband wanted to gift them a box for a Christmas present. All of the boxes are so beautifully designed and we finally settled on one. The cashier was very kind and talked to us about the iTaiwan membership and how to get the most benefits out of it. She also packaged the pineapple cakes in a cute bag for us for free! A very cozy story run by cute people. I will most definitely visit again.
