I recently Herat Market today after hearing it was under new ownership, and I have to say, the changes are noticeable! The new management has clearly put effort into improving the shopping experience, and it shows. There's a better selection of products, especially in Pastry that standout areas like fresh produce, household goods, specialty items. Customer service has improved significantly--the staff is more attentive and friendly. I will return back.P.s the Pastry of sweet Roll was amazingly fresh!!"Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in a while."

Been customer of this halal food market for years now! You can find Afghan and Pakistani I food related items here including great selection of amazing spices. Frozen hot links, beef and Turkey bacon strips as well as fresh meat and poultry from their butchery. They also bake fresh Afghan bread at this place. They have some seasonal exotic fruits here like Afghan grapes, sweet mangoes and delicious pomegranates (best to call store prior to visiting for these fruits) wide selection of dried fruits and nuts. They have baked goods as well also delicious corn breads. Exotic pickles and quality mango, grapes, guava and pomegranate drinks. They also sell quality tea sets and other decorative high end tea cutlery. They treat customers with respect,accept cash, debt, credit, ebt as well, store is a nice size but it's fully stocked so walk around carefully haha, im not gona say their prices are affordable or expensive because they do sell quality merchandise. Overall, pretty decent. I've had negative experience at this store in the past but 1 bad experiences out of few is not a bad deal.

You can find the best pre-marinated chicken kabobs here! My mom shops here more than I do, but every time she's there I ask her to order a few pounds of the raw chicken kabob to bring home. It's $8.99 a pound and taste like restaurant style when you grill it on the bbq at home. I'm not an expert on the bbq but I can easily bbq a few skewers for myself and it come out really really good. Buying pre-marinated kabob saves me the energy and time. The recipe is also absolutely perfect so you can't go wrong. Do yourself a big favor and give it a try sometime!!

I don't know what it is about a lot of Halal stores, but the people aren't the nicest sometimes. This store is great! Everyone in the store is super friendly and has the biggest smiles on their faces. The food is great and in fresh condition. I tried the owners secret recipe chicken kebabs and they were phenomenal! I didn't have to add any extra ingredients. I just cooked them as they were. It was the easiest dinner I have made in a while!! I always try new things every time I come and I haven't been disappointing yet, the pastries are fire!

Herat Market is the typical small scale Afghan grocery. there's a bit of everything: pastries, sweets, grains, nuts, rice, displayware, clothes, etc.biggest display area is the halal meat section and the freshly made candies, pastries. was wondering what the a child was crying about? maybe her mom wouldn't buy her some sweets. some sweets sold singularly or in large packages. just got some finger cookies. no premade ready to eat foods here.

The best afghan bread i have ever had. It is like 3$ per loaf and they are like 3 feet long. The quality of meat is very good and it is halal. I've been coming here since i was 8 years old and now i'm 20. Everything we'll priced and the staff is really friendly.

Nice family-owned butcher shop in the heart of Newark. The workers are great and friendly. I enquired them about the place where they source their chicken from and one of the butchers patiently answered all my questions. The chicken here is better than any other organic chicken I have purchased.Shop always smell nice because of the bakery they have in the back. I would love to purchase free-range chicken.

We have tried so many halal markets in the Bay Area, even those reviewed on Bay Area Halal Foodies/Yelp and others in the Fremont/Newark area. We miss our regular butcher from Aladdin market in San Mateo, but finally we found Herat (through a very targeted Facebook question I asked to a group of Muslims in the Bay Area).These guys consistently cut the meat properly. No chops in a lamb leg. Pieces are the same size. A chicken isn't missing pieces or has extra necks/rib cages. Many halal markets precut meat and don't cut to order. I am not sure what Herat does, but I've never had an issue. They are our go to market after searching for 6 years. Before, they were only a few minutes away from our house, now they are a half an hour round trip from my house and it will not deter me. They are simply consistently the best. May Allah SWT preserve them.
