I happened to wander in as I was waiting for my ride. Owners were extremely welcoming. They insisted on paying for my drink and snacks when I told them I lost my ATM card. A+ for hospitality. I will be back soon.

Bigger than it looks from the outside, but for a place that seems to bill itself as a "middle eastern and indian grocery store" they sure seem to be lacking some basic items found in Indian cuisine.I came in and got a few spices but the two items I really needed was basmati rice and paneer cheese. They only had basmati rice in gigantic bags and one small bag of smoked basmati rice, which isn't what I was looking for.The paneer cheese they didn't have at all and when I asked they seemed utter mystified by what it actually was. The guy who I assume was the owner said "oh if it's not in the cooler it's we probably dont have it."You "probably don't have it"? Seems like something you should have, or at least know, if you are claiming to be an Indian grocery store.

Although International Market is not impressive in size, as a specialty store you will be impressed with the wide range of essential Middle east, Indian and Mediterranean ingredients sold here at a great price. Therefore this place is perfect for the home chef looking to cook real authentic middle eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, because all the ingredients you need can be found here. It is also the only place where muslims could purchase 'Halal' meats in Fresno. Everything from exotic spices, saffron, basmati, grape leaves, garbanzo beans, cheeses, yoghurt, honey with comb, pasta vermicelli and so much more can be purchased from here. They also sell exotic drinks and cordials, plus for shisha/hookah enthusiast, you will find water pipes and other supplies necessary for your collection. My most surprising find was the holy water called zam-zam, I can't believe they even sell this here.There is a meat deli dedicated to selling 'halal' only meat sold at a premium price yet very affordable. Halal is like kosher for the jews, i.e: meat that has to be slaughtered in a certain way. Meats sold here includes: lamb, goat, beef and chicken. I have purchased meat here when I have muslim friends with strict dietary beliefs and the meat quality is really good and always fresh. Halal meat prices are $2.49++ per lb. I would call the if your price sensitive to check on daily prices. They have a whole aisle dedicated to spices, it almost feel like an exotic merchant of spices. Every spice, ground or whole that you will ever need for middle east, Indian or Mediterranean cooking can be seen here. Spices like: Turmeric, poppyseed, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, cardamom, sumac, caraway, aniseed, fenugreek, shawarma and so much more.They also sell fresh vegetables and fruits. Their option is very limited here, but almost all essential fresh ingredients for these the of specialty cooking, like mint and other herbs, pears, lemon, limes and plum can be found here. The store itself is not very big, but its well packed with inventory. This is also the best place for me to get pita/pocket bread, lavash and also the highest quality basmati or long grain rice. The grocery feels like a neighborhood store and the grocery clerk is really friendly and willing to always help you find anything you need.
