Sad the arrogance in the air. Poor customer service with higher prices than other competitors make this place very unattractive. If you want fresh barbari bread at lower price go to the Afghani grocery stores in Fairfax. Get off your high horse already.

I was told by the cashier that all breads are still baked here. I can assure you that Taftoon bread and all other bread are not baked here anymore. The bread had a dense and chewy consistency. The baklava and Cakes tasted old, except for the baklava with pistachio on the top (top shelf)

The store is a bit tight and the communication can be difficult, speaking over the counter piled high with mechanize. Ordered a bunch of cookies, really only wanted an assortment of cookies - maybe a dozen or so - ended up with 2+lbs of cookies! Didn't have the heart to ask the young worker to put them back.Oh well, on the upside, they were yummy. Esp the almond and pistachio cookies - just had more to share.

Just fantastic. High quality at Middle Eastern groceries and pastries. in my opinion, the best grocery store of its type in the entire DC region.

This place is stocked with pretty much everything you may need for Persian and middle eastern cooking. I give them 5 stars for selection but had to drop 2 for prices. Most of their items are extremely overpriced. I understand that the area is more expensive and that a lot of their items are imported. With that being said, I expected prices to be more comparable to Houston or Chicago or LA where there's a large Persian population. They're still high compared to these other locations. The pastries didn't appear to be fresh. There aren't any labels so if you're a first timer like I am, you won't know what's in them or where to stop. The place is pretty tight to maneuver in. Be prepared fo go around people in the aisles through another aisle and to wait to be helped. All in all I think it's perfect for Persian speaking and reading people but will be overwhelming for someone like me who knows neither. Park around back so you dot have to back out into the street. Baskets are at the front entrance and it's too small for carts

Wow! What a variety of sweets! The lady owner was the sweetest and even gave us some treats when we were leaving. Amazing options of Iranian and Turkish goods which you don't find often. From fresh produce to jarred, canned. Beautiful tea sets and even a butcher with the cuts of meat you cannot find in a store! It might not be the biggest store but it definitely has some of everything along with hospitable service! I will most definitely be back.

I would give 0 stars if I could. I have been coming here every year for 10 years. I came all the way from NYC. Use to love their pastries (walnut, raisin and zaboon cookies). I called before hand to make sure all pastries are available and fresh daily. The owner/lady mentioned the latter was true which I found out to be a total lie after purchasing. The pastries taste different from all the years I came here, seems it is no longer fresh and the baker has changed the recipe for the cookies. Beware and I wouldn't recommend.

While I rate this place 5 stars, I do want to point out some areas for improvement. First, it needs to be a little easier to discuss the pastry options and purchase. The service is very friendly and they are helpful but everyone appears really busy and you really have to hunt them down. Next, the prices are almost painful. Are all Persian markets like this now? Lastly, the bari bari bread is not my favorite. There is something off and I don't know what it is.

This place is a ripoff! Their prices are way higher than any other Persian/middle eastern stores. I paid $150 for the exact same thing that is $95 at other stores including Amazon and ...This place is so dirty, messy, and unorganized. They have a famous pastry called " Sepah Salari" that I used to get every week. Last time, there was hair inside the pastry, not in the box, it was tangled with the pastry. They sell the Dunar rice for $21 which is $19.They charge you twice for the same item. You need to check the receipt.
