Istanbul Supermarket

This place is unreal. They've moved to this location a few months ago after occupying a store across the street for 15 years. The new place is stunning. Most of their stock is Turkish or middle eastern. The store is clean, well stocked and I just kind of went crazy in there. You see, I've been to Turkey five times so this was a great surprise. They also have their own bakery and meat market. I can't wait to return.

This is a lovely store with helpful staff that can suggest items for you if you need that. Please remember that you are entering another culture when you come in, so be polite and forgiving if it doesn't go as expected. We are all doing our best right now. Interestingly enough, I reported one of the "reviews" for being outright biased, and received the following note from Yelp "Thanks for reporting John S.'s review of Istanbul Supermarket. We wanted to let you know that this review had already been reported to us by a user on Yelp, and that at that time our moderators decided to leave the review in place after carefully evaluating it against our Content Guidelines."So, please feel free to ignore John S's review stating an incredibly rude opinion about the owner. It is not reflective of this market, the owner, or the Columbus community. Do better Yelp. Get help for your anger issues, John...

Fabulous selection of specialty dairy, baked goods, condiments, olives and meats. Friendly helpful staff, super clean and bright. Our new place for all things Mediterranean in Columbus, as Tensuke is for all things Japanese.

Excellent source for lamb. Meat looks fresh.Good selection of Mediterranean foods.

This place like a dream. The store is so clean you almost feel like you're in a furniture store or something. It's almost pristine. They have light music playing and it's just an overall good shopping experience. They have a lot of Turkish and middle eastern staples. They have all the different types of cheeses, olives, plethora of spices, and a solid selection of cookies and biscuits just to name a few. I can't say enough good things about this place. They also have a hot food bar! My husband and I get their beef and kofta wraps all the time. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you get a chance.

Great selection of produce every time! I personally favor the bakery, specifically the manaeesh and the other freshly baked breads. I've purchased meat numerous times and it has always tasted fresh. Upon request they will even grind the meat for you, which was very convenient for the recipe I had in mind. Will continue to shop here!

Very clean & fresh produce . My great find was Turkish pot $12.99 & coffee with free cup for $5.99.

What a lovely surprise! This store is so clean, modern and well organized. I especially love the spicy Moroccan olive mix. And the Greek feta cheese is so good and so reasonable. Can't wait to go back and check out more of the Mediterranean goodies!

Well-stocked, organized, clean. The bakery has Jerusalem bagels that are delicious...I've only had them in LA and was so happy to find them here. Will be back!

Best place to get halal meat at an affordable price. This grocery store beats, its competitors by a far margin due to its professionalism and cleanliness. The employees are very kind and always helpful. If I cannot find it the product I was looking for the workers always help me look for a close substitutes or give me an estimate of when the product will arrive. The baklava is strictly imported from turkey, which gives it that authentic taste that I've been looking for. Great place will be coming here more often.
