Asadur's Market

Great service and everything you want from a Mediterranean joint to travel you back to your country whenever i am around its a must stop

We've been enjoying some of the Mediterranean markets in the area. We had a little trouble finding Asadur's. The address is Randolph Road but it's tucked away in a strip shopping area that includes MoM's market off of Nebel. Asadur is small but has some interesting items. I found artichoke hearts in the freezer case. I've seen them mentioned in many recipes but never have seen them in the store before. Richard couldn't resist the baklava. He also picked up a can of calamari in garlic sauce and one of stuffed grape leaves. Asadur has small selection of wine and beer, which I haven't seen in other markets we've visited. Must note the woman who was sitting at the register and checked us out never said a word to us. Asadur is so close to some larger, well stocked Mediterranean markets, though there's nothing particularly wrong with it, we probably wouldn't go back.

I stopped by specifically for Turkish products and found the store to offer a lot more than just Turkish goods. There were even bakery items available for purchase in addition to traditional Mediterranean cheeses and olives. The store carried a lot of Greek products as well. The older woman handling the cash register was kind and patient. She was not too talkative, but I am sure she would have answered any questions I would have asked. Parking is ample, free, outdoor, and right outside. This store is located in the same row as My Organic Market (MOMs Rockville).

Awful customer service. The overweight lady who works there is super rude (I think she may be the owner) but the other employees at the deli are nice. Reading the other reviews, I can see that quite a few people had this experience. Yikes. The review below did it for mee! I will not be returning

A helpful person I know was helping me clean out my car and in their frenzy of throwing things out (good bye Shakira CDs!!) they picked up the evil eye I kept in my car and said:Helpful person: Do you really need this clutter in the car?Me: It's for luck, you've seen me drive.Helpful person: Yup, I will leave that there then.My point is,if that helpful person had thrown out that evil eye, I would have easily replaced it with the funkier ones they have here. They even have ones that are clog shaped like little Holland souvenirs. Having a display of evil eyes is one way of knowing a middle eastern market is legit. As you move further into the market you will find everything you need for fine Mediterranean cuisine. Two gallon bucket of feta? Got that.A can of shark sardines? Yes, and what are shark sardines?Bulgur Wheat? Yes.Pickled Lebneh? I had no idea you could do that but it's here.Greek Wine? Yes.Turkish teksut? Yup, no clue what that isA large olive bar? YupA wall of tea biscuits? YupTurkish/Armenian pastries? YupThe hard sesame candies that I grew up with and cost me a fortune in dental bills? YesSo the store has a large selection of Middle Eastern and Turkish products, it's awesome, but that's not what I want to draw your attention to. I came into this store cause I was waiting on car repairs nearby (which means the evil eye in the car is defective) and did not want to spend $15 on a hippy dippy lunch next door at MOM's Organic Market. So seeing the sign for deli I walked in here.Yo, this place has $5 gyros. That's right. Subway has their $5 footlong and this place has a $5 gyro that is probably one of the best I've had in the area. The meat is in strips and obviously not off a spit, but for the price, it's actually good. The falafel is pretty awesome too. The greek salad ($7) is not a bad lunch deal either.Now that I know where this little market is hidden, I may be back for lunch or more evil eyes, depending on how this car repair goes..

I love this market. It has a lot of the Mediterranean ingredients that I struggle to find anywhere else. A large variety of breads, pickles, olives, cheeses and Arabic sweets. It also has speciality items like lupini beans, Greek oregano, Ahmed tea, Molokhia (Arab spinach), ringa (smokes herring), and sujuk (beef sausage). Besides the great variety of foods they offer this store is always super clean and well organized. They have great customers service and are super helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out. They also have fresh baked goods and snacks like falafel. But don't take my word for it check this place out.

You know how sometimes you head off to the market for one or two items but, as you roam around, you end up seeing all sorts of tempting things that manage to make their way into your shopping basket? Well, that's exactly what happened today during my trip to Asadur's, a great local Mediterranean market with a wide variety of hard-to-find products, all in one place.Being Greek, it was great to see many of the classic Greek brands on the shelves - Papadopoulos cookies, Misko pasta, Kalas salt, Minerva olive oil, Venizelos coffee, Ion chocolates - the list goes on. There's also a fully stocked section of spices found in traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, with many of the spices that are used sparingly in Greek dishes available in small quantities. I really like this, as I can buy the spices I need fresh, and that makes a big difference in flavor when you're cooking.The cheeses in the cheese case are always fresh and high-quality, including a great kasseri, a sharp kefalograviera, and what I originally went in for: Dodoni feta, the best Greek feta cheese around. Its soft, creamy texture makes it both a great table cheese and an excellent ingredient in dishes like a good home-made spanakopita.Finally, the staff at Asadur's is quite friendly and happy to help you find what you need. Grab a basket and take a slow stroll down Asadur's aisles to pick up some old favorites... or find some new ones!

Gotta stop in every few months to restock my Turkish and Greek pantry. Really decent selection of frozen veg and yufka/phyllo, cheeses, olives, some cured meats (no sucuk last time I visited, but I've gotten it there in the past), spices/herbs and baking ingredients, coffee and tea, and a really nice selection of bulk grains, legumes and flours. The staff is nice and prices are reasonable.

Was very surprised at little store had one of the best chicken gyro sandwich I've had will stop by when in this area no second though about didn't get a picture it was so good and staff was helpful

Great hummus in the fridge case (I prefer the plain, though I served some of the garlic a few weeks ago and it got rave reviews). Homemade (also in the fridge case) Tzatziki is very fresh and tasty. I usually pick up a piece of the "barrel feta" from the deli counter and they'll happy to give you some brine to keep it in - the packaged white cheeses are also a good choice. They have a wide variety of dried beans - this was one of the few places that had giant white (gigante) beans available in the early days of covid when everyone was sold of out of beans.
