Al Mustafa Market & Bakery

Most of the items in this store are expired several months and even years ago. I picked a few snacks just today which were expired back in 2020. I have brought this to the attention of the manager before but it still keeps happening. This is very unfortunate because the location of this store is very convenient for most people living in the area.If you decide to shop here, please look at EVERY SINGLE ITEM you buy. Literally more than half of the store items are expired. I usually don't leave any negative reviews for local stores but I think this is an important matter that people should consider when they shop here.

A good place to buy Arab food. Very nice staff too. Too many varieties of food and spices. A really accessible location either by a car or bus #18. The bus stop is just in front of this place! However, you have to be really careful when you buy stuff because some stuff that I bought were already expired! Furthermore, The prices are higher than other Arab stores!

Well organized Turkish grocery in northwest Columbus. I was told about this market while at a Turkish cooking class. My intentions of this stop were a few specific spices and vanilla (not your regular American liquid vanilla). Products were nicely placed. Everything for the most part visibly priced. Next stop, I'd like to purchase a few of the refrigerated/frozen meat and baked items to try!

Stumbled on this one while going to the Mexican market next door. Baked goods, snacks, a big dairy case, a butcher. Good selection of ingredients, and snacks- which is what I got. Candy, dates, etc. A pretty big selection of drinks. I didn't really know what I was looking for, or at, but you should come to explore and get some interesting items.

In the absence of an Iranian aka Persian Deli or Grocery...This is the next best thing. I think the owner is Kurdish...which is a good thing. They carry Sadaf and Persian products as well as others.

Clean and well stocked. Fresh, delicious bakery items (cheese, meat, spinach, chicken pies).

Most of their items don't have a pricing label, so you won't know the price of an item you want to buy until you take it to the cashier for check out. Also, if you want to buy from this place, make sure to open the package and check every single of the bread, as you may occasionally find overly burned breads hidden among the good-looking ones.

PROS: Nice people. Store is very well stocked. Prices are mostly better than other stores. Meat operation is active and offers fresh halal meat.CONS: Their deli foods don't feel fresh or well made (-1) and their store items do not have prices on them (-1)

Terrible hygiene & lack of cleanliness along with questionable product expiration & freshness dates.

Horrible place. They're Thieves. Everything is overpriced ESPECIALLY the cooked foods. They don't price anything at the counter or back there by the pre made food and Over charge you at the front. Seriously everything is 3x the price at a normal store.
