The Most Flavorful Grocery in Phoenix

Tony's Italian Delicatessen

★★★★★ 4.5 (253) • $

"This place has good pizzas and subway sandwiches. Last time we were here, we stopped and grabbed some sandwiches and deli food which was good. Food is pretty cheap here for big sandwiches. I got some chips with them, and we sat inside on a nice warm day to chill off. Pretty nice size place with lots of meats and cheeses and bread to take home and make your own sandwiches too. Nice people and great place. We will be back again."

AJ's Fine Foods

★★★★☆ 3.5 (243) • $$

"We have been shopping at this AJ's, both when we lived here and whenever we in town for a visit. The prices are typical AJ's, which are somewhat full. But, it's still the only place in the Valley where I can pickup some specialty items. They stock Peter Lugar's steak sauce (yep), Gold's Horseradish, Desert Gardens mixes and dips, aged balsamic vinegars, along with several Münchner bräuhaus Weißbiers. Today AJ's is still owned by Basha's, so several of these items can be purchased there. But it's limited and some items are not always in stock. NorCal based Raley's Supermarkets purchased Bashas' a few years ago and promising to keep the formats and store names the same, they even kept Edward Basha III as president. Nice. Btw, the employees are all very nice and will go of their way to help find what you are looking for."

New India Bazaar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (238) • $

"Go here for their samosas and kachori. It is just $1 each and tastes so good. It is an Indian store with a restaurant at the back as well. We usually go here for snack items including sweets. Never tried food in their restaurant but prices are so damn reasonably here for everything. I would highly recommend this place. Don't expect a very welcoming greeting from the uncle at the counter but they are nice people. The store is small and very congested, however, they have so many things to be considered."

Convenient Corner Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (118) • $

"Transplanted NY'er here. I've complained for 20 years about not having a good deli in AZ. That changed today! This place took me back to Long Island. The sandwich was perfect. Fresh and they didn't skimp on the meat. Bread was on point. Great selection and you can custom order whatever you want. Staff is extremely Friendly and gracious. We tried to tip them by asking where the tip jar was and they said " you coming in was our tip"! A+++... must try. I'll be a regular!"

Little India

"An extra star for the prices here.We love visiting here whenever we are in that area. In fast we almost go every time we visit that side of the town. The reason being they have some really good fast and is vert reasonable too, Few seating tables and even the store but we usually get the seat to sit and eat. I would highly recommend this place for the taste. Don't expect ambiance though."

Yusef's Middle Eastern Restaurant Grocery & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (81) • $

"I ordered from Grubhub today because I was stuck in my house. I'm new to the area so I thought I would try this place because I was craving Middle Eastern food. Absolutely the best baba ghanouj I've ever had in my life. The stuffed grape leaves were delicious, the hummus, and the tabouli were all excellent. I will definitely order from here again."

"Safeway in shopping center at corner of N. 7th st. and Thunderbird. There's ample parking with a large lot. The staff is friendly and professional. A bonus is a nice Starbucks counter inside with its own lounge chair seating and open until 8pm.Recommended."

Safeway

★★★☆☆ 3 (44) • $$

"I've been coming to this Safeway for 9 years now! Wow! It's not far from where I live and the employees are always friendly and helpful. They have some brands I don't see elsewhere so that's helpful. The fruit is always fresh My dealings today took me over to the bakery section as they have slices wrapped to go and various goodies I love to ogle. I was greeted by Danielle with a smile and ordered a cake today for pickup later this week. The store is always well organized and well stocked and I highly recommend shopping there. Easy in and out most days!"

7th Street Hotspot Café and Market

★★★★☆ 3.7 (27)

"I think I postponed stopping in here mostly because I was somewhat in disbelief about it actually existing as has been previously described. But sure enough one hectic holiday afternoon when I have a report due and all my usual go to spots are bustling I decided in a bit of desperation to be brave and bold and venture in. Omgsh there it is! They really do have a little corner market back here! From the main road it just looks like a typical apartment complex and now that I've been here it does appear to be managed by the apartments as a type of amenities piece of the renter community but it's entirely open to the public as well. Good thing! It's a cute little place and clearly marked from the outside (once you pull into the apartments) and is adjacent to the community pool which I suspect makes it nice and busy during the summer. Walking in is similar to any gas and mini grocery market with hot coffee (Starbucks even) and lots of snacks, drinks, quick hot bites, staple grocery items and also a decent selection of beer and wine. Further back is an area with tables, tv and a sofa overlooking the outdoor area. The music is mellow and at a good volume to be pleasant and in the background rather than dominating the atmosphere. It's possible to have an inside voice conversation here and quite a nice change to feeling calmer as opposed to the excitement that was happening at the nearby shopping center I was Just at when I spotted Santa Claus strolling into a hallmark store where I was dropping some packages. The tables at this little hotspot however were very very sticky and even my boots were sticking to the floor. I always dread troubling busy staff with requests like this but the mess was truly unworkable. I was relieved that the counter worker was courteous and helpful in amending the situation. It's nice that the sitting area is decorated for Christmas and plug-in spots are readily available. Today this place was a very welcome change despite some room for improvement in terms of its readiness. I'm sure I'll be back again.Update* later on I ordered chicken tacos keeping my expectations aligned with past experiences of food in mini market convenience store type places, I was pleasantly surprised! Three for $5 yummy street tacos appeared with good flavor and fresh onion, lime and cilantro garnish. Now I'm convinced that I'll simply stop in for tacos even when I'm not looking for a place to settle in and get stuff done. Good to know!"

Olive Branch Mediterranean Market & Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (14)

"This place is confirmed halal and the owners are muslims too. We had two whole chicken and beef kabobs. I guess this is one of the best chicken i have ever had. Taste perfectly, it really deserves 10 stars . I think half-chicken is enough unless if you are really hungry. I also tried the beef kabobs. I don't think it was very good, taste fine. That day they didn't cook the authentic Iraqi kabob well. I will order it next time i go there.The store is small and the prices of the restaurant is very reasonable and acceptable. I would definitely come again!"
