"The best Italians always find their way to the Gulf Coast--just like Josephine's Italian Market in Brandon, Florida, where I recently visited with my Italian mother.Step inside, and you're instantly surrounded by authentic Italian flavors passed down through generations. From overnight-shipped Italian market imports to fresh eggplant parm, handmade ravioli by Pastosa, Tony Fig's famous sausages, delicious D'Agostino baked goods and the creamiest cappuccino you'll ever taste--it's a true taste of Italy.Owner Robby and his brother Jason keep the traditions alive, while their mom Elaine brings the warmth--just like Josephine would have wanted. And whatever you do--don't leave without the limoncello cheesecake. Trust me. Even if you think you are not a fan! And if you're a fan of A Bronx Tale, you'll want to grab your own Eddie Mush sandwich.Go hungry, leave happy."
"This locally owned convenient store/Halal market. You can get your typical lunch sandwich with roast beef or you can get falafel and a sweet or non-sweet pastrie, but at 1pm is when you can start finding the main entrees like Biryani.I got here a little too early for the entrees, but the Falafel I ordered was hot, fresh and delicious. I also added a cheese pastrie that was equally as good. The owner, Abraham helped me to some samples of foods I didn't have before and made suggestions when I didn't know what to get because it was my first time here. This is a very friendly spot and houses some fresh foods and possibly some new ones for you to try if you are up for it."
"Food is remarkably low priced. A hidden gem, burritos for $5.99? more than I could eat. Excellent quick lunch, 10 minute order time, wow.It's located within a multi-use supermarket, they have a Latino bakery, beer and wine, Deli and Food truck commercial supplies."
"Cute place!We actually were stopping for subway, but thought I would grab cafe con leche, and ended up eating here instead.Food was good and filling, but the best part for me was the music! So fun!The store offers staple items and seasonings. There is also a hot food bar.Great place for me to practice Espanol."

What a great market! It was quite busy and the owners are super friendly. I had a cappuccino while my partner walked around and looked at everything. The cafe bar was quaint and my cappuccino was spot on. I was really excited about the salads and meats. We purchased the stuffed peppers and I appreciated them letting us sample before we decided to purchase. That is personalized service. The meat counter looked fresh and I will be back when they are not so busy. Like, the Chinese market and Mediterranean market, it's nice to see more specialized markets in a town of chain markets.

I'm so happy I stumbled on this place! Me and my partner were in temple terrace looking for Arab desserts, and we came across Jannah Market. We unfortunately came in too late to get Knafeh, but the owner was so sweet and basically gave us a sampler of almost everything he had to offer including rice with lentils, hummus (this was amazing and I wish I took some home!) baba ghanoush, and basbousa. I love the basbousa here so much, it's deliciously moist and the texture is perfect and heavenly. I ended up taking a small pack of it home, and actually got a cup of the milk pudding for free!Please check this little place out, the owner's friendliness is so contagious you will come out of here with a big smile on your face.

This was a great place to grab some cheap tacos! My friends and I went a few days ago and they are open for dine in and take out. I ordered 4 al pastor tacos and a pineapple juice. My whole meal was about $8 which was a great deal. In this store they also have groceries and a bakery inside.

Quite small store, I stopped by here for the hot food and was let down by the selection and the quality! They only have white rice which I found odd. After eat my meal it wasn't impressed at all. But the staff was friendly.

Even if you don't know what you want from Apna, just come here to get inspired. Sometimes, that's just what you need, a little inspiration... right?I visit here for a few reasons, other than just the obvious inspiration:1. Quality produce at a decent price. Sometimes you will find a really good deal. Like today, I got a pristine watermelon for $3.99. Breadfruit, huge knobs of ginger, ripe avacado, mango, roma tomatoes, kabocha, bunches of green onion, eggplant-- just some of the items that I found today also.2. Ready-made/frozen breads- Fresh, soft Turkish breads, stuffed breads, and frozen naan, dosa, and paratha are a must. 3. Spices - So many spices and meal idea spice packs to choose from. Just walking down the spice aisle gives me so many meal ideas. 4. Frozen meals- Also, a great place for ideas. The vegetarian options being my favorite, even though I'm not vegetarian.5. Sweets section- by the entrance there are racks and racks of baklava and other sweets that I end up buying almost every visit. Anything pistachio...It's also quite fun to walk around the housewares section and see all of the cool cookware and home items. There is also a huge tea section.

This place is one of your typical Latin American supermarkets that carries a large selection of Latino grocery food items you cannot find at larger grocery stores. The plantains are cheaper here, and you can find specific cuts of meat for your Latino dishes. By the looks of it, you wouldn't think there was much to this supermarket. It's at the corner of a plaza among all the other plazas on Fletcher. But this particular supermarket has a small "restaurant" inside! Take notice of the food station directly in front of you as you walk in the front doors. This is where you go first- don't even think twice about it.I've been here on 3 separate occasions, two of which were for breakfast. This is my place to go for Mangu, a traditional Dominican breakfast of mashed up boiled green plantains. It's super filling and tasty, always leaving me so full throughout the day that I often forget to eat lunch. Mangu is typically served with fried salami, fried cheese, eggs, red onions sauteed in apple cider vinegar, and/or avocado. Take your pick of what you want to dress the mangu. They have all the fixins' here. I get mine with everything: salami, cheese, scrambled eggs, and onions on top. They are very kind with their serving sizes... $4.25 usually gets me a heavy to-go container of my mangu special. The other time I visited was for lunch. I ordered the pernil (roast pork) and it was so juicy and delicious... I ate a quarter of it on the way home and still had plenty left over for dinner for two and lunch the next day. Absolutely wonderful.You'll see lots of different types of people in here on their way to work, picking up breakfast or lunch to-go. Make sure to visit early in the day if you want the good stuff for breakfast. Once they run out, they run out! Also, be advised that you cannot pay with a credit card if your purchase is under $5. However, you can use a debit card for purchases under $5.

What a great market with wonderful delicacies from Eastern Europe and Russia. Bulgaria. Georgia. Cheeses. Smoked fish. Canned fish. Soups. Pierogies. Bags of frozen gooseberries, currants, and lingonberries. Honey. Desserts. Beverages such as cherry juice. Cookies. Meats. Fun to explore and try things. You can hit it after Mr. Empanada, Metro Diner or the new La Segunda which are all in the same or neighboring strip mall on Kennedy.Prices are quite reasonable. Owner was friendly in a Slavic sort of way.

"I finally made it out to Apna Bazaar and it was a real treat! It is a large market stocked with lots and lots of goodies from Pakistan, Turkey, U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, and the United States. They specialize in the cuisine of Muslim areas and have Halal offerings prepared in accordance with religious rules.The had a guy taking Turkish bread fresh out of the oven and a Pakistan i/ Indian restaurant in the front. They have loads of snacks and spices. Cooking utensils. Beverages including non-alcoholic brews. Sweets such as date and coconut cookies.I saw camel milk which seeks interesting. Lots of cheeses. Milk beverages (the mint is rich and creamy). People were friendly and accommodating to me. I know their is a sizable international community at USF and there are lots of international food grocers and eateries in this area on Fowler. MD Market is a couple blocks away for Chinese / Taiwanese and East Asian foods. Patel Brothers for Indian is across the street. There is a Korean Grocer and lots of ethnic restaurants in the area.I had lots of fun visiting and found lots of things to try at reasonable prices. I wonder if they have Turkish cotton candy? Don't try it or you'll be hooked. Armenian / Syrian string cheese is great too.I will be back!!!"
"You can come to sultan to get any of your middle eastern products which is wonderful. They have a variety of items there, customer service is outstanding. I went probably 2-3 times and it was really nice to see how great the staff were. I highly recommend it and will definitely return soon to get more items"
"My sister kept telling me about this place where she got amazing food, and there was a line out the door and around the corner. She couldn't remember the name or how to get there...only that the food was very inexpensive, amazingly delicious, and everyone was incredibly polite and friendly to her.When she finally recalled that the place was called Super Saver, I thought she'd lost her mind. But here we are, and she was right!Part grocery store, part cafeteria takeout counter, all fantastic Latin fare. The prices are pretty amazing. Everyone is friendly. very limited seating, but everything is packaged for take out. The avocado salad was amazing, and the roast pork was pretty good. I went back in the late afternoon a few days later and got the last piece of some sort of baked chicken, for less than $3, and it was soooooo delicious. If they served dinner, I would stop there 2-3 nights a week on my way home. They serve breakfast and lunch...get there early."
"This place was ok. I saw mold on a cheese that shouldn't have mold on. I'd recommend going to Clearwater euro food and deli, that one was better."
