Samiramis Imports

There are few stores I love more than this one. Just walking in, the smells of the spices etc take me way back to when my mother would take me as a young child shopping in a Middle Eastern grocery store.Samiramis has so much in a small store. A few examples... Hard to find spices by bulk (3+ types of zataar!), house made babaganoush and humus, lovely spinach pies, bulk nuts and fruit, a small produce section, bulk olives, jars of Eastern European pepper salads, baklava..... etc etc etc. The people that work there are always willing to help you choose between this tahini or the other and always friendly. What an amazing place!

Been coming here for 7 years as it's the only clean vendor of Middle Eastern goods I can find in the city:) They have everything you'll need for cooking or pantry items; both fresh and frozen. They also source fresh ftayer from a local auntie and they are DELICIOUS (and have a spicy kick). The prices are a little steep in comparison to what I'm used to in Lebanon, but c'est la vie when it comes to imported goods from home:) Support a family owned business and shop here!

Growing up in SF in the 80s and 90s this was one of the few middle eastern grocery stores around so we shopped here a lot. It's a different story today with many stores to choose from but the selection of products here is almost unmatched. The olive station in the back is amazing go check it out! Food is fresh and pans the Arab world. The Owen's are all good people, friendly and helpful. They also have a fresh halawa (halva) section that they slice and wrap for you. Right before you walk in you are hit with an array of spice smells that transports you to another world.Gives them a try and they just might become your go to middle eastern grocery spot.

On weekdays this store doesn't open on time. In fact after waiting for 10 min I left and came back after 1pm. The males are not necessarily friendly to women - but I only visited twice.

He sells the best freshly grounded Turkish coffee you'll ever taste, he has all the stuff you need even old chocolates will help perfectly and give you the proper advice and serve you in a blink, best service ever in a small place for whom loved the Arabic style dukkan

Wide selection of middle eastern foods and spices. Nice to have a spot like this in San Francisco.

This is my one stop shopping store for Middle Eastern and Palestinian products. They have excellent home made products along with an extensive line of imported goods. There selection is awesome, multiple types of breads, olives, cheeses etc! This was my go-to store during COVID when everyone was lined up at Safeway! And the proprietors are very nice too!

My favorite Middle Eastern store for all-things grocery. Every time I'm there I get reminded of the most delicious ingredients and spices that make yummy meals. And their cheeses that make great breakfasts that I grow up with. Trust me even their frozen Kibbehs are sooo good. I highly recommend shopping here especially of you are into Middle Eastern food.

Great store. I had spent a few days scouring the city looking for Pomegranate molasses so that I could make a dish from a new Persian cookbook I bought. I found it. But they also had so many other staples of Persian cooking - an impressive collection of olives and a wide array of spices. I highly recommend.

Best baba ghanoush in the city! Super Smokey eggplant flavor. So many delicious products. I bought a huge bag of chamomile flowers for tea. Other products like Turkish delight, huge selection of nuts from Turkey and Middle East, olives and much much more. Super organized shelves.
