Alsafa

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (46)

"Wait...this is a grocery store with a kitchen area inside! Really wait, this is a meat market as well! I actually watched them cut up the meat that they are packaging in the store. They say that their chicken is grass fed and raised with no extra stuff in it, so I am looking forward to trying a chicken product from them. The place is surprisingly big inside and offer a huge variety of imported items. There are samples available throughout the store & a wide variety of items to serve, presumably, the Middle Eastern tummy! Plenty of imported goods are through the store which included drinks with Arabic writing on them. They sell mixed olives by the pound, which I saw several people excited about that. They also sell baklava and other types of candies that are common in the Middle East. I saw different types of imported lentils, rice and other goods that must be a true taste of home for those from that region.I am sure no one wants to here about that stuff though. I was really in the mood for a gyro, so I ordered a reasonably priced gyro with fries. Before I left with my to-go order, I was given a sample of hummus. This is the second best hummus that I have tasted. Read past reviews to see who I think is the first! Fries were fried well and seasoned well. They only gave me a slight handful, but I will not trip on that. The gyro itself had pretty presentation...was put together well...looked tasty...however you choose to say that it looked as though it should taste good! It was a good size, so I knew I would be content after eating it. The produce on the gyro was fresh and you could tell that my gyro was freshly made. I am not certain if the meat itself was seasoned to awesomeness, but I know the sauce they gave me to put on the gyro was yum mixed with I wished I had more of it! I enjoyed every bite of my gyro, and made sure to wipe the inside of the sauce container with my last bite of gyro. From the previous reviews, I need to try a chicken shawarwma (Not sure if that is spelled correctly) as well. I am looking forward to giving this business another try at impressing me. They are off to a good start."

Adam's Halal Meat

★★★★☆ 4 (18)

"They offer groceries, full service butcher and a small attached restaurant where you can dine-in and/or take out. I mostly go there for their butcher shop. So, my review is only for their full service halal butcher shop. They have mutton, lamb, beef, chicken etc. They have good quality meat at a decent rate. They have packed meats at the racks. I usually enter the butcher shop and request them according to my liking. For mutton, I ask them either a shoulder or a leg piece and request them to cut into small cubes. They are not very good at English but they have so far fulfilled my request. They are good at their job. They also have packed whole chicken cut into cubes. I don't really shop here for their groceries nor have tried their restaurant yet. However, for their meat and butcher service I'd give them a 5/5."

Two Brothers Halal Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"Seriously good food y'all. You walk to the back and there is a nice lady that will take your order and answer any questions you might have. I ordered the chicken kabob entree. They make it FRESH. If you are in a rush call ahead, I wasn't. The chicken is fresh everyday, and it tastes wonderful and cooked perfectly. I think I actually inhaled it, I will be back soon."

Telfair Spices

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (21)

"Review 10!The other day after having dessert around here i noticed this place and was curious to check it out. My family always goes to Chinese stores whenever they need everyday foods like vegetables and stuff, and I wanted to see other groceries other than the typical American ones and the Chinese ones we frequent so I decided to look around this Indian Grocery. It's pretty hidden from view and I only found this place when driving back from an ice cream shop. I've actually been to a couple Indian groceries already but this one is unique to the area due to the fact that there is also a small restaurant inside too! I only ordered a sweet lassi this time but it was good so I may be back to get other things. The market itself is ok. The aisles are kind of small and hard for me to get around but the service was very friendly. You can probably find some desi goods here that can't be found in other stores (maybe). It's not the closest Indian market to me, but maybe I could come back for the restaurant."

Vishala Grocery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"Vishala is a low key Indian grocery store in the Katy area. It has a variable selection of Indian groceries considering the small size. I like coming here because pricing is awesome plus they make fresh food. Recommend the butter chicken, paneer masala and green onion roti. Whilst these curries have great flavor, they tend to be on the watery side. They also have some fresh baked naans, rotis and fried snacks available. This is where I suggest to go if you are looking for inexpensive, exotic spices. We stocked up on green and black cardamom, turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, pomegranate seeds, asafoetida and garam masala. It's also a great place to get tamarind. There is a crazy selection of different types of rice. The typical basmati, brown basmati and this seriously small grained basmati. Those are just a few they carry. Plenty of lentils, mung beans and chickpeas too. Produce is a smallish section but everything looks really good. There is also yoghurt. A lot of yoghurt. Even gallon sized. Waaaay cheaper than what you can get at HEB or Kroger and very delicious. There are little finds around the store. Unusual pastas, different snacks and candies too. Coconut oil is less expensive here as well as beauty products (especially hair care). If you're adventurous and love Indian food, this is definitely a place worth checking out."

Elyon African Food Market

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"If I could give Elyon 7 stars I would!My first time in, I ordered Egusi with chicken and pounded yam. It's was UH MAZE ZING! My only complaint would be that I only got one piece of chicken. Overall, the flavor was on point, the chicken was tender, the soup was SPICY like I like it, and the fufu was hittin just right!This time (my second time in two weeks) I got okra soup with chicken and honeyyyyyyyyyy, the chef put their foot in this stew yall! The consistency is so gelatinous, the flavors are rounded out with just enough smoke and heat! Baybeeee, even my four year old niece was trying to beat me to the bottom of the bowl! She needed some sips of water, to cool the heat, but she gave me two thumbs up!"
