International groceries

I stopped into this little grocer while waiting for a table at nearby Jalepenos. It's not big, but it has a ton to offer, lots to explore, and really friendly staff. Overall the biggest win for me was that my daughter is going through a very specific indian noodle phase, and this is the only place in KC that I've seen the kind of instant noodles that she is obsessed with. So, we clearly bought a bunch of them! I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to stop here, but I enjoyed my visit and I'm sure when I'm in the area I'll stop in for some staples that can't be found elsewhere.

Super nice place and the people are so kind and helpful. Best halal meat out there Will definitely return

What a lovely spot to enjoy spices and a wealth of culture. The selection of worldly foodie goods is tops. The nice lady will greet you with a Salem. They have many imported perfume oils and ceremonial accoutrements. Many rice choices, teas, and sweets like dates will expand your pallet here. The Turkish string cheese will twist you into a ball of contentment. I will be back for the Indian freezer sweets.

This is not a review that is written after a one time/couple of visits. My review is summed up from 4 years of my shopping experiences at International Groceries.The one big reason I continue shopping here is the 'human touch' this place offers that others lack and in one line their product offering is 'Happy, Healthy and Honest'.I say healthy and happy because, the animals are raised humanely, grass fed in their natural habitat, never caged or fed food outside their usual (natural) feed and never given any growth hormones. This family owned and operated store stands by their product and it definitely is a higher quality of meat you can find in the Kansas City metro area and I am glad I found it.Over the past few years, International Groceries was one of secrets' for all the compliments I get for my food. Be it Kebabs, Biryani, Kheema (minced meat) or BBQ, the guaranteed fresh and tender meat fromthis place offers is the best you can buy for your money and deserves some appreciation. You are greeted with warmth each time you step in to this store and more importantly addressed by your 'name'. This place reminds me of what lost in time with the advent of big box stores that crushed mom and pop stores. Folks at this place remember your choice of meat, the usual cuts you get from the meat and also offer tips on how you can get the best out of the product. I call them in advance to order meat and also check availability of the meat. This helps me save time and almost all the time, I had my order ready to pick up on arrival. All in all a happy experience. I wish them good luck in their business and hope their newly expanded business thrives and continue to serve quality meats and merchandise.

I have shopped there 4 times. Each time I bought meat. (Lamb, goat, chicken) They always ask how I want the meat cut. All of my purchases (cheese, bread, herbs, meats) have been exceptional quality and service. The lady that works there will give you great ideas and suggestions for things that you may not know about. Its not a fast service place they custom make your order if you want, but so worth the wait. I can say the meats I have purchased from them have been of the highest quality in KC.

The price of beef and chicken are much higher than other local stores. The stuff are not really professional. They don't allow to see how they cut the meat so you pretty much have to trust them regarding the cut. Probably not going back.

This is a cheat person, all the items are priced higher than any other store. Some are up to 50% more. When I asked him why you are selling more expensive and his answer was this part of town can afford more expensive stuff so I am selling it on higher price. Really!!! You are cheating because people are just trusting you being an honest and hala seeking person.

Definitely would not recommend as they sell regular goat meat in the name of baby goat and charge you a premium for that. It is extremely expensive as well..they keep changing the price of the meat and leave you wondering. You pick a few things here and there and you have a $100 bill..they do not show you what price they are ringing on the cash register and you get to see only when you get the receipt. Common items are so overpriced compared to other ethnic stores. I would stop going here and stick to PAK halal place which has fresh meat and is priced appropriately.

I went at the store today to get some goat meat. Customer was asking his money back. And saw the owner was yelling at the customer and telling him to come later as he is very busy! Customer was definitely not happy and he argued so the owner threatened to call police if doesn't leave. Terrible experience when the owner yells at a customers and threaten them to call the police instead of trying to resolve the issue.

They definitely lie about prices and the meat. OVERPRICED and liars too
