It is a small family-owned business where the staff is super nice, very friendly, very helpful, and considered family. Customers are blown away by the incredible smells of different foods and spices upon entering, describing it as a sensory spa. The market offers the best quality products, including the best quality olive oil, tahini, pickles, and olives. It features an amazing variety of Middle Eastern ingredients, a broad selection of goods, and the widest array of spices and olives in the area. Shoppers find an incredible selection of labneh, za'atar, Arabic bread, Armenian ready food, herbs, spices, oils, cheese, bread, and dried fruit. The produce is the best around, always fresh with a great selection, including short-season and specialty items. The prepared food and bake goods are out of this world good, with reasonable prices. The space is relatively small with tight quarters, every aisle packed with much to explore. Be prepared to spend time discovering all it offers. Parking nearby can sometimes be a challenge.
