Leon International Foods

Got a few prepared foods to go. Upon reaching home, I opened the hummus container and there was fungus on top. That made me question the tabouli salad but it tasted fine. Dry, but fine. The beef and spinach turnovers were overly doughy. The cheese turnover had good flavors and the ratio of filling to dough was good. The beef grape leaves were frozen and when thawed and heated like the guy told me, they were nasty. I did not get groceries so maybe it is a good grocery store, but the prepared foods are not worth it, especially when they have fungus indicating that it is not fresh.

Family owned! Always fresh and healthy foods!

I've been wanting to go to Leon International Foods forever but never thought about it. Because I was craving falafels and wanted to try a new place then I remembered I should finally check out Leon's.The location is one you would never think of, it's located off Pleasantdale Road behind Burger King close to I-85. There's a bunch of businesses behind there that you would think are for warehouses.Leon International Foods is located straight back and you cannot miss it. The store is a lot smaller than I would think but their bakery is big enough and they have lots of food that I overlooked.Most of their foods needs to be heated up. I asked for the falafel wheat wrap. I wish they offered pita instead, would've been more delicious. They even had vegan baklava. I was like what???? Yes, please!The staff was really nice and offered me to take samples of their vegan food bar. It's cold though but they gave me a plate and spoon for me to take some.When I got home, I heated up the sample plate. The food is delicious!!! My falafel wrap was really good too. I never had so many flavors in a falafel. I tasted a lot of fermented food which complemented well.I also got spinach fatayer. There were meat versions and this was the only veggie one they had that day. I warmed them up in my air fryer. It had a sourness to it and I liked it. I am glad it wasn't sweet!Now, time for the vegan baklava. It is flaky, crunchy, sweet but not too sweet. I loved it! Definitely worth a trip for the food, especially the bakery. Yummy Lebanese goodies.86/2020

We stopped for 2 sandwiches. Ordered falafel and shwarama. When we saw old falafel being placed in a microwave, we ran out the front door. Also, realize this place is NOT being inspected as a restaurant. There are no food safety ratings because they are operating as a grocery store. Several local competitors that make fresh food nearby.

I continue to go to Leon International Foods and my love of the business is unwavering. The baklava is still some of the very best in the city (as are the other phyllo dough-based Middle Eastern sweets), and now I sometimes buy spices and dried beans here (which are well priced). A few months ago, I got a to-go box of prepared food, since I had a hangry toddler on my hands, and everything was tasty (though I'm ignorant about the names of the dishes). Today I grabbed a box of knafeh from the fridge, after hearing magnificent things about this popular dessert made of shredded phyllo dough and stuffed with sweet cheese. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.The service is always kind and welcoming and the smell as I open the door makes me feel like I'm walking into someone's well-used kitchen that is overflowing with spices of all kind. I'm thrilled that Leon International Food continues to thrive and I hope this gem stays around for many more years to come.

The best Middle Eastern grocery in Atlanta. Be sure to try their prepared foods while you're there.

First time here can't wait to be back Falafel sandwiches and spinach pies and lots of groceries. Love it all Thank you so much

The falafel was moldy in the shelf. The zartar rolls were stale and the pickles were not right. It seems like it's not the same people that have been there before. Prices are much higher. I will not be returning here after shopping here for over 30 years.

Everything from the bakery is delicious! I have been going here sense I was a baby, they never disappoint.

I love this place, everyone is so kind and the bakery has some of the most Delicious desserts, literally the best baklava!
