Oasis Food Market

"My dad really likes this place. It's across the street from "pill hill" on the telegraph side of the hill. They have been here for hella long but I have only been here a handful of times when giving in to my dad's request. They have a small grocery store side and a deli style cafe side. It is very popular with the EMTs and hospital staff. The staff seem very nice on the occasions that I have been there. The food is quick and healthy and it actually tastes good. So my concerns are that tables are not at clean as one would like matter of fact even the many of the other surfaces are no so clean. So just don't let your imagination wander about the things that the public can not see is all I am going to say. Other than that you can get a decent meal at a good priceOh also one last thing don't try to call ahead they never answer the phone"

"Small but mighty. This above average Mexican grocery also features a taqueria that gets quite busy at lunchtime.I will stop in for pico de gallo, cilantro and green onions, and fruit. If I'm hungry, I'll grab a taco plate and an agua fresca (there's a coconut one here I love and never see anywhere else)."

Salam Halal Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (70)

"DO NOT SLEEP on this halal market and deli in West Oakland. It has the rating it has for a reason! Also, it's super close to the West Oakland BART station if you ever need to be there. I was actually stopping by to stop by a Goth market event at a local brewery (to review shortly)... The market has all of the things you would expect. Nothing off there. The real (!!!) kicker is the counter-serve deli they have. The food is quite frankly some of the best Middle Eastern food I have EVER had - and at an extremely affordable price. You order at the counter and it takes a bit because they are actually making your dish fresh! I ordered two dishes. First, I had to order the lamb platter - the store is Yemeni and lamb mandi is unique Yemeni specialty. It's basically lamb, rice, spices, veggies, yogurt and all the other stuff you'd expect. The meal was absolutely delicious and massive. There were two giant pieces of lamb - that basically slid right off the bone. An absolutely amazing dish. I also come from a very lamb-meat-centric culture and I was absolutely shocked at how soft this lamb was - I've actually never experienced anything like it!!! Second, I ordered the veggie platter because it was cheap and wanted to take something home. It was pretty good - hummus, baba ghanouj, pita, falafel, rice - also all the things you would expect. Also a great, solid meal. They also give out complimentary Yemeni tea. I think it's sugared up green tea. A bit too sweet for me, but a nice touch if you're into that. There's a few places outside to sit. Though it was actually raining the day I went, so I had to eat in my car. So I guess the enjoyableness of your dining experience is a bit dependent on weather. Anyways, the food is cheap, generally very good, and the lamb mandi plate is absolutely one of the best things I have ever eaten in that part of the Bay. Highly recommended if you want a tasty, cheap, filling meal (especially if you need to fill lots of people) - to show up and grab a plate!"

Fresh Meat Factory

"Small butcher shop that sell chicken, duck, lamb, and quail eggs, frozen fish, many types of fish fillet. They also sell their signature hot tandoori marinade. The offal are sold here too like hearts, livers, spleen, and brains for exotic dishes. Ask the butcher how you want it cut for the meal you are cooking.No photography, video recording allowed. They don't want their employees to be in the pictures. Just check website and post card for updated prices and products sold. Customer service is 4/5.Ambiance, cleanliness of shop is 6/5. Its a new shop.Products sold are fresh, frozen and high-quality, so 5/5.I will come back to buy lamb for dishes that will make for family."

Coconut Hill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (35)

"Coconut Hill replaces Spencer's with the same meat availability plus indian groceries in a small, clean compact store, there are boxes in the small ailses, and a monitor sticking out from cashier's station. easy to bump into things while browing.offerings: fresh meats, groceries, produce, frozen ready to eat foods.buys: mung bean snack (2.29)-not a lot of selectionstake outs:-small parking lot.may be inadequate during rush hour biz.-just the basics, not a vast inventory."

"They are relatively new and fresh.I've been many times since it's local, an alternative to other chain grocery stores and everything is good. They have fresh produce/products and are moderately priced for some things. They have a ready made food are with tamales, ceviche, aguachilles and more. They have a butcher meat section with all the fresh meats. There is also a mexican restaurant with great food.The staff is friendly & helpful, I'm comfortable recommending them as a business and I'm here often.Cheers to good eats."
