The prices are good on their nuts and dried fruits. Spreads are delicious. Good assortment of canned goods. Highly recommend.
The intoxicating scents of coffee beans and raw garlic hang in the air at this 25-year-old grocery, a kind of micro Sahadi?s. All of the Middle Eastern dips are made in-house: Load up on shoug, a pungent hot-pepper chutney ($2.25). Just above the olive bar you?ll see pans of homemade burekas, stuffed with mild pot cheese, mashed spicy potato or spinach. Grab a bag and go nuts: They?re just 75¢ a pop.
