Ararat Market

Delicious food and very friendly owners.The chicken kebob plate with pilaf , bread and salad is so good as is the shish kebob. Very small, jam packed market and restaurant with so many goodies and Mediterranean treats that it's hard to decide! Prices are very reasonable and portions are large.Call in your order but allow enough time to look around.

This place is good, but if you grew up eating your mom's kabobs and rice not sure it is going to blow your mind in terms of flavor or taste. I liked it but I wouldn't detour for this market. We ordered several kabobs and like many reviewers mentioned the portion size to price ratio was on point but none of the kabobs had a wow factor. Salad was also pretty simple and pita tasted premade and not fresh. That being said I like supporting family businesses and the service was friendly. They also have some interesting ingredients from all around the world like Ajidka which is a central Asian spice. Also more as an fyi this is more of a Togo market as there is only one set of seats.

A place to buy good Mediterranean cuisine to be made at home or they have prepared food also. I can't believe after being in Clovis for over 2 decades, I finally made it a point to come here. They have seasoned meats of all sorts. Beef, chicken, lamb they have it ready to be cooked at home. They have many frozen items that you can ever want. Some of these items you can get at the local Mediterranean restaurant but you can buy the frozen version here and make it at home. On my first visit I had the marinaded beef and marinaded chicken. I bbq'ed this at home and they were one of the tasty meat around. If you are familiar with Mediterranean cuisine, I would recommend this place, it seems like they have all your needs possible.

This spot is my go to when visiting Clovis area! It's a small hole in the wall but a gem. Great food, portions and really friendly mom and pop shop. We usually get their chicken and beef plates which are AMAZING. Totally suggest stopping by if you want authentic Mediterranean food.

Outstanding customer service, welcoming and knowledgeable owners. The store is always freshly stocked and easy to navigate around! If you enjoy Armenian and/or Russian food this store is for you!

Amazing lunch options, unique and delicious market treats, and probably some of the tastiest European desserts Ive found in a bodega.My wife and I were looking for Mediterranean food and Arrat Market popped up. While I don't think this place is a true Mediterranean restaurant they do offer delicious Mediterranean focused plates. We ordered two Chicken kebab plates with a side dzadziki (yogurt sauce) and extra pita. The food was amazing. The chicken was super juicy and full of flavor and the rice was a perfect mix of al dente yet not try. Dzadziki, which I've never seen it spelled like that, was super fresh and the crispy cucumber added a nice crunch. Definitely a revisit dinner spot and they take phone orders! While we waited for our food we shopped around. This place is small, but they have so much good stuff here. Tons of international spices, candies, and jarred items. We left with some spices, a bag of cinnamon cookies, and lots of sweets for the kiddos. Can't wait to head back here and sample more of their menu and get a few more sweet treats!

Mom and pop store family owned food is great the shish kebab and the rice pilaf is to die for I love this place

Was craving Mediterranean/Israeli food and this hit the spot. The prepared food is made to order in a small grocery store which was such a gem. Got the falafel wrap and the lamb shish plate. Full of falafel in every bite. But the lamb.... One of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, succulent and juicy! Accompanied rice pilaf was also full of flavors. Tomato cucumber salad was refreshing and nice garlic sauce to dip. We also got hummus and baba ghanoush which were excellent. Will definitely come again!!

The ONLY reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the garlic sauce was very bland and the cashier gal was not rude but wasn't social at all. Seemed shy, very quiet, didn't suggest anything. My husband took it as rude but I didn't. The 6 chicken chunks were huge, so tender, juicy, flavorful. The salad could have used more fatoush and lettuce. The rice was perfect. I'll definitely come back. I added spicy olives for that zang I felt was missing. Quaint little store with an array of products.

Don't really leave many reviews. This place is INSANE! I got the beef Lula plate and the meat is perfectly cooked and the texture is so supple and bouncy. They give you a ton of rice that's great to have later. The babagonush is also incredible, light Smokey flavor but not over powering, Tzatziki is nice and chunky but not too chunky. Falafel is hot and crispy outside, soft inside. I'm blown away this is such an undercover gem. If this was a restaurant style seating they would be slammed. Thank you!
