Middle East Bakery & Grocery

Local restaurant/grocery store with a wide variety of premade food and ingredients. I come here commonly for the hand pies ($3 for one) and they are beyond worth the price. They have so many different kinds - lamb and potato, lentils, spinach and feta, triple cheese, artichoke and cheese and potato to name some of my favorites. They are densely packed with flavor, they are soy/sesame/peanut free and a good portion for the price. A few makes a great snack or lunch. The grocery store has many high quality ingredients - fresh cheeses, all types of dry bulk grains and beans, olive oils, canned goods, fresh nuts and dry fruit and more. The prices are reasonable for the goods too. The staff is helpful and friendly. I can't speak for the restaurant food but i intend on eating here sometime. This place is a staple to me and my girlfriend!

We only went to the grocery section, but it was phenomenal. We ordered a few pies - spinach & onion, lamb, chicken, and lentil. If you have to pick one, do the spinach & onion! I regret not getting more of them. They all were great. There was also vegan pizza (on a pita) and pita seasoned with za'atar. We put these in the oven for a bit when we got home. I was so impressed with the sweets section. We got baklava and namoura. The refrigerated dips and sauces were my absolute favorite part of the store. They had a habanero garlic sauce that is amazing if you like spicy food. We also got spicy hummus, the red pepper sauce, and a marinated eggplant (not baba ghanouj). We didn't pick up any olive oils but we were impressed with the selection!

Great spot to grab a bite to eat and pick up some select groceries that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. There are really nice spices and desserts like baklava here, among other things.I got a wrap at the deli that shares the space with the grocery store on the other side of the building. It was very reasonably priced and surprisingly filling - didn't need anything else to eat for a while afterwards.

Very comfortable and well priced restaurant. Lots of options for middle eastern food, including big group/catering platters. A single sandwich or wrap will set you back ~$10, which is very reasonable in my opinion. The restaurant also made a very comfortable place to sit and chat. We stayed for a few hours and did not feel rushed at any point. The service was good, as was the food. Looking forward to coming back to try more.

The bakery and market is adorable, and had a wide assortment of foods. It's cozy but items are packed in for maximum use of space. Staff is friendly. We tried the falafel, pita, and tahini sauce. It was so, so good. If this hadn't been at the end of our food tour, I definitely would have finished my little sandwich, but instead, I have a place I will be heading back to next time!

My all time favorite desserts are these pistachio nut based pastries. When I found this place I was so excited to see an assortment of these pastries! This establishment also has hot baked savory goods that I also tried! I got the three cheese and spinach onion pastry, so delicious and aromatic. I will definitely be back for more!

I've passed by this place a few times and just had something random and large from the Brown elephant down the street (today it was an air popcorn popper) but wow I had no idea about the supermarket. I grew up in a neighborhood with a large Mediterranean and Middle Eastern, so when I walked back I found the spices intoxicating. Then they have some cheeses I love that I used to use daily but haven't seen honestly in a decade. Pretty cool. We headed to the front to place our order, a veggie combo and a Beef/lamb shawarma. They have a open kitchen and counter service. We took a table near the counter. It's great to see the plated dishes come out fresh and smell the aromatics in the air. Our food came out in a decent ten minutes. The meat was slice to a perfect thickness and cooked to give a nice gradation of doneness with nice caramelization. The hummus was tasty and fresh with herbs, I honestly didn't take note of the ingredients but dug in. Had a nice tanginess. Everything was delicious well portioned and reasonable priced. Service was great. Explained all the veggie options pulled out examples. I mean I definitely going back especially to the shop in the back. I mean they're really stocked well. Lots of goods made on site too.

Fresh barbari bread, pitas (various sizes and types), lavash. If you get there early the bread is warm! Pistachio and hazelnut coffees, made from the real nuts. Great selection of site made soups (lentil is great and I buy a couple to freeze), dips, tapenade, hummus, etc. Excellent deli and market with selection of yogurts, including Labneh, cheeses, olives, fatayer (stuffed pies- eggplant, cheese, spinach), coffee, teas, SPICES, pickled veggies, dates, figs, tahini, ajvar, harissa and olive oil. Spices for cooking: including sumac, sesame, za'atar, smoked paprika, barberries, tumeric, salts, aleppo type pepper, fenugreek... Various varieties of rice, beans and lentils. Pastries and sweets. Adjacent restaurant for dine in and to-go. Two-three loading zone parking spaces in front depending on how people park.

The best gyros in the city. I've had take out twice within the last two weeks and the food was incredible. Gyros were perfect and built like woks of art. Showing how they care about what food they're selling and serving.John h
