Lulu's International Market

Love Lulu's. We come here for their hot food and baked goods. Not really to grocery shop. We always come here when we get the craving for their whole roast chicken stuffed with rice, and we always get Cucumber and Tabbouleh Salad and a side of fresh flat bread. We also enjoy their roast tandoori chicken, and love their different variation of rice. We also love their Greek salad and picked vegetables called Turshi. Also can't leave without their pasties: baklavas, fresh baked samoon, date filled bread and many more. You can grab the chicken and salads from the fridge, pre packaged, but we always prefer getting it warm and fresh from their kitchen. Service has always been good for us. They always take care of us and actually know us by now. It's always clean and organized. Always have parking & never too crowded.

It used to be my favourite place to shop my halal meats and grocery and also pastriesWith the manakeesh- the last two times I did not like them and the meat tasted old so I am not buying any morewhy I would still go therePARKING is very easy and convenientThey have halal meat / chicken in the fridge so easy to buy and grabThey have also didferent cheeses and lebnehPrices is reasonableTheir store made bread ( samoon) is the best in the area and they make cute small samoon as well

Food should not come with extra ingredients that no one asked for, like the long hairs included in Lulu's sandwiches and the blood in Lulu's kebabs! For years, I was willing to overlook the rude customer service and the disheveled ambiance for food that tasted relatively good. However, I must now draw the line after receiving my latest orders from Lulu's with loose hair and raw meat. The food that I am paying for should not pose a potential risk to my health.

Terrific all around. Looking for grape molasses and here it is! Fresh produce, terrific hot and cold foods. Prices are really affordable. Love the selection and the wonderful service. I will definitely return for their ready to eat foods!

This place is great! First of all, being a San Francisco Bay Area native, the So Cal life is new, and in El Cajon I found this market while shopping for sugar for hummingbirds a couple years ago. Okay, so 4 times I have been back and always buy a Falafel sandwich, and they are AMAZING!!! This is the most delicious $4.99 you will ever spend! I got everything on it, except for raw onions. They have a top-notch mango sauce, and pickled beets, and other toppings for the sandwich. Rafi offered my wife and I a sample of Chicken Schwarma, it was delicious! Today I was helped by Rafi, and a nice woman but I can't remember her name, but very nice people!! We are new to Middle Eastern food and we are now trying all the different coffees and teas they offer, I am happy to go here and always ok forward to it.

Yum! Stumbled across this place when I got lost in El Cajon and was hungry. The thought of paying 3.75 for one slice of greasy cheese made me gag so I looked past the pizza place and found this cool arabic market. I got a tray of 10 stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) 4 stuffed onion and a stuffed zucchini with a side beet salad and a giant pack of pira that will last me all week, plus a raspberry soda for $15. All the stuffed veggies were full of meat too, not just rice and vermicelli filler. Everything tasted super fresh, hand made and well seasoned! All that and a deli full of amazing feta, rows of baclava and a full array of every pantry staple I could think of. Will definitely be back if I end up in this area again.

Unfortunately this is the closest international market to my parents house. Staff is incredibly rude. It's as if they're mutes. As I was entering the store, an employee decided to come right in front of me and start adjusting the rug on the ground without even saying anything.. no excuse me or I'm sorry. So I just stood there until she moved. The entire store just feels, smells, and looks dirty. The floors are disgusting. There is dust on the items they're selling in the isles and the produce doesn't look fresh.

Honestly the chicken I bought might have been fine, but all I could think about was how disgustingly dirty the place was. So gross! I ended up throwing the meat away. A little care about cleaning might go a long way.

Food is really good but only if the employees treated the customers like humans. Every single time I patiently wait in line, someone will cut me off and order their food as If I was never there. I don't understand how some people don't know what a queue line is. I now have to speak louder than everyone around me in order to get my delicious food.

Have the best tandoor chicken Best tabouli and stuffed grape leaves..Staff are kind and service is nice .. and their bread fresh from the bakery is delicious
