The owner was sooo rude. It's very over price . We were a group and politely ask him the price , he started using bad words in persian knowingly. We got upset and left the store. Worse experience

A rude agressive shop owner that won’t hesitate to ridicule the customers. Don’t enter.

Delicious turkish coffee and great service. We forgot to grab our sweets and the lady ran after us to make sure we received them, so kind of them. Recommend!

WOW! Amazing lanterns and so many eye-catching items in this store. Yes, it is very expensive, but we are sure their rent is high also. Definitely a lot of "eye-candy" in here! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

We have been here plenty of times and I have gotten my nieces and nephews Little keychains, magnets, earrings, and bracelets. Recently my son's grandmother had purchased a lamp from the shop. The man working there was so sweet! He gave us his employee discount and Even offer to hold her lamp until the day before we left to go home so we didn't have to risk breaking it leaving it in our truck. We will be back! Highly recommend!

We are here for our vacation and we always come to this store to add to our collection of bracelets and earrings. I’ve always wanted a lamp from here, saw one that I liked and the owner was nice enough to take it off the shelf for meWent back yesterday and picked it up. Met the owners wife and daughters. So nice and great customer service. Thanks for lamp!!! See you next time

Such a frustration with them I experienced today. First of all, I used to be their regular client. For over three years, I would buy things from them for gifts (rugs, ceramic bowls, souvenirs, hair pins, notebooks, etc. etc.). Secondly, they have another location in Carmel, where I used to also be a regular. Today, I purchased a souvenir from them in Carmel, and inquired if they had another one, they referred me to Monterey. I arrive to Monterey, and they name the price of $70!! instead of $30 same exact peacock! When I asked why there is such a difference, the owner states it was a mistake in Camel, the actual price is $70. I lift up the souvenir and see that the price tag does say $29.99. This is not the way one should do business. Especially with those who are your regulars, sending you customers all the time. Now, guess what, the tourist season is going to be over, I am sure you will survive, but I am NOT SENDING you any more people. This is a SHAME. People forget about any MORALS, they only see $$$ I am sorry I have spent so much money on the stuff that you are selling there which is overpriced. All that can be ordered online at AMAZON for way less money. I would not recommend this store to any one any more. Here, the same one for $20.99 on Amazon:

Love this place and the lady helped me find the perfect set of scarves matching my skin tone. Buy 3 get 1 free turkish scarves and bath towels

Bought a skirt at the shop, followed cleaning instructions and the material started shredding. Skirt is now full of tears and the decorative embroidery is coming unstitched, the fabric is just not heavy enough to hold the decorative stitching.

This store is beautiful. It is on my must go list whenever I am in Monterey. I am obsessed with their evil eye bracelets and look forward to getting a few whenever I stop by.

This is so incredibly reminiscent of the bazaars in Istanbul, and full of little treasures, so fun to browse around, I almost left and didn't buy anything, but at the very last minute, on a mannequin, was an incredible bathrobe. I'm not usually a bathrobe kinda person, but this one was remarkable: Turkish 100 % bathrobe multi-colored, seriously all the colors of the rainbow in this beauty. A hugely thick, plush, thing, reminiscent of Joseph and the multi colored robe fairy tale. It was pricey and honestly more than I would've ordinarily wanted to pay, but I'd never seen anything like this, and I'm a s***** for all things multi-colored and vibrant, plus the quality of it couldn't be beat. The owner is incredibly charming and entertaining ... his wife operates the business next door, Troya--Turkish delights and baklava, which we also got some stuff from. Awesome--highly recommend.

This locals favorite shop. Grand Bazaar is my #1 go to for specialty gifts. I have shipped their high-quality unique and well priced items all over the world. Not to mention what I have in my own home. When I visit my loved ones the first thing they do is take me to see where they placed the gift and how much they enjoy it. It's nice to be able to give something truly beautiful and appreciated. Next door is what I call the yummy shop. Baklava and Turkish candies that are the best in the world melt in your mouth, ice cream's from Turkey, true Turkish coffee's. So nice to have a family owned business as opposed to the common box store That you can get right there at home or anywhere. Do you go post to review I want to hear what you have to say. My review is so strong you probably think that I'm part of this family or that I get some kind of special discount. I don't. This is all from the heart.
