International Food Land

Excellent little halal store. We get our feta, sunflower seeds and pickles here. They have so many amazing foods that's it's hard to leave without trying something new.

These guys know what they are doing. We just did a big grocery run. Their baba Ghanoush is wonderful. I love their pita bread that they stock. It makes for a wonderful breakfast.

I'm on the hunt for good ethnic grocers aim the area so I couldn't resist dipping into this international food store. While named international, it specializes in Indian/Middle Eastern food and spices. The produce selection was a bit more limited than I anticipated but prices were better than chain grocers. They did have a good selection of meat (lamb, goat, beef, chicken with some halal options) which is where this store shines and there were a plethora of seasoning options. I would come here for the variety of rices, couscous, beans, etc. There are a good variety of staples to be found in this market. I'd rate this place A-Ok. Star off for limited produce, and another because I checked in on the Yelp app and was told I had 10% off but when I showed the cashier (as well as another employee) they said they didn't know what Yelp was and wouldn't honor the coupon. Whomp whomp

My husband and I are always looking for new ethnic food stores and we got lucky when we found the International Food Land store in Arlington. It's an Arab grocery store that contains a variety of fresh Middle Eastern, Greek, Turkish and Eastern European products all squeezed into a very small space along with a restaurant!They have a bakery and to go deli items with Tabbouleh, Hummus, Stuffed Grape Leaves, and Baba Ghanouj, as well as specialties such as Chicken Shawarma, Kabob, Kibbeh and Falafel.I really loved the olive bar with its very reasonable prices. Of course there's a Halal meat market with goat, lamb and chicken butchered in convenient pieces for cooking and packaged ready to go. They even had bulk feta cheese here. The small seating area for the restaurant is cordoned off and your daily special or menu item is cooked fresh ready to go or eaten there. We bought olives and spinach pies from the bakery. The cross section of Indian and Middle Eastern food items was pretty unusual and definitely a good find.I was amazed by how much they were able to showcase in this place. It was so clean and well organized with a large inventory. International Food Land Store has very courteous people in every department and we will definitely go back.

Let me start by saying...I know I am a American woman so this review of course may be a little based on that however, I am married to an Arab, my family are Arabs so I have seen my fair share of Middle Eastern markets all over America as well as other countries. Atmosphere- It's a little cluttered, could be cleaner & it seems they need more space. If you want more customers, take the stuff out of the windows, let people see in. The stuff on the windows make it look smaller, dirtier & more disorganized & it's really not. This grocery place is my regular stop in Arlington, I like it overall. There are only a few in Arlington for one thing, but this one is nicer, more reasonable on price and seems more personable than others. I swear just a few tweaks & you could have a booming grocery store for Middle Easterners as well as Americans wanting to find something outside their norm. Staff- Most are very friendly. There is one younger girl that always looks miserable but for the most part everyone is friendly & helpful. Location- Perfect location. It's right in the middle of Arlington. Easy to get to. Easy to park & get in & out quickly. Produce/Meat- I have only gotten meat there a couple times...not sure why accept I'm kind of strange about where I buy meat. The produce is good, never seen anything bad or out of date, bread is wonderful & they really have a good selection for being a smaller store. Suggestions-1. Take the junk out of the windows, let the sun shine in & people see what great items you have. 2. Could be a little cleaner & more organized. you might even get wood crates for the groceries to make it a little more market style. Not sure if the city would allow you to but putting little wood bins of veggies etc. on tables outside would really attract those just passing buy needing a quick something to make dinner. Possibly just a hassle but just a thought. 3. Check out Sara's in Dallas...they have really stepped up their game & are booming with customers. I realize it's a different area however, this place could be really profitable and really cute with a few little changes. I have to tell whoever is reading this review...if you are not familiar with Middle Eastern markets, many are not as clean as the big chain grocery stores, most need some painting & organization but for the most part this one is a nice place to drop in quick, get a few items for dinner. It's conveniently located, parking is great & staff are friendly.

Homemade pita bread & baklava's are pretty good. Many ingredients are stocked to make your favorite Mediterranean recipes. The negatives were the meat market was nearly non-existent & the selection of produce were severely limited. The cashier ladies are very nice. They offer Five Star membership discounts

I love offbeat places. This is one of them. They are priced reasonably, and I love how I could find a little India, a little Middle East, a little Europe in different parts of the store. I found different fruit preserves, spices, variety of raw unfiltered honey, array of baked breads, pickles, candies, cookies, cheeses, and what not. They also had a few china, kettles, and other utensils for sale.They also have a deli on the side with a few sweet as well as savory items. I got a veggie samosa, my friend got a chicken samosa. We both loved them. The Harissa dessert was good; slightly over-sweet, but I tried it for the first time and have nothing to compare it to.This place is located in a little strip which I drove by for years. I never noticed this shop until my friend pointed it out. The sign could be a little bigger, or clearer. The store was a little unorganized, and had smaller selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. They could work on that. Thus a star off. I like anything with real feel to it, and unlike your regular grocers, this place is full of character. Go with an open mind, pick out whatever takes your fancy, and experiment with some new dishes.

A decent little middle eastern grocery. Very good price and much cheaper then the ones in north Dallas. Wide selection of everything you need from spices, to beans, obscure flours and grains, lots of smoked meats and juices. Also offal and several cuts of lamb m.They also have a cheese bar and a little deli in the back with ready made foods. This place is a bit more well stocked then their competitors in the area.

I like this place I always go eat shawarma and get a Dandanah drink from this place, my kids love it too.

This was a great find!The personnel was attentive and helpful.I found all the ingredients I needed to make the dish I'd planned!!
