Its a fairly compact store but has the essentials as well as a halal meat section which takes custom orders. The veggies are often fresh but there have been times where they miss the mark.The store folks are helpful and accomodating. They give you a 5% discount when you buy stuff above $100, which is a nice bonus.The international aspect in the name is limited to Indian and Middle Eastern. Overall it has been a one stop shop for us during the past year.

I usually go for only Goat meat.PREMIUM GOAT is really good.But we cannot get goat meat until 11:30Am on Sunday. That is the bad part.

Great halal meat usually clean and no smell. Can buy goat, chicken, lamb and other meats. Specifically halal. Also great variety of products from Pakistan which I’m very happy about.

Pakistani/Bangladeshi store. One can get Bengali fish including Ilish and large size Rohu, imported from Bangla Desh. Although frozen but tastes awesome. Also very good goat meat available, which is a very rare commodity in US. You won’t get fat smell in that which otherwise one gets in frozen lamb meat from American stores. I don’t pick the pre packed trays from shelf, rather go to the butcher counter and tell him which particular portion of goat/lamb I need and explain the size of cut pieces. Same with fish. All staff including owner are very nice.

I don’t know why this place doesn’t have a better rating. It is by far the cleanest halal shop in the area. The customer service has always been courteous and friendly. Meat is always fresh. And the butchers working at the back are eager to help you with customised orders.Keep up the good work 👍

Good place for indian items. Almost all indian grocery items available. Situated opposite to crossroads mall on 156th avenue. Good parking space. Though it is small but you will always find place to park your car.

Not once but three times I got the meat which was having a very foul smell from the meat. I go all the way to Bellevue just for HALAL and fresh meat. It is frustrating now because Ive complained several times but the owner does nothing about it. They say they cut the meat everyday then why dont you put the packaging and expiry date on it? Can somebody explain?Bad service, bad meat!

Review №20

Expired products / zero heigene / over charged several times / seems like they are doing you a favor by having this shop. After todays episode I have decided to not go there anymore . There are many other halal meat options now even delivered to your home. Time to take this attitude home POS people. I will initiate a total investigation into their business practices by King County.

They wantedly don’t display prices & whenever we say they always answer that we are working on it but it’s always like that.

Review №22

The one thing i dont like is that they dont mark the prices of items properly. They have the prices marked for some items and not marked for others. Having said that, they have a good variety of items from all countries from the sub continent.

Review №23

Worst and Rude customer service.I wish I could give them a big fat zero star.I walked into the store at 9:52PM and the person says that we close at 9:50PM. He did let pick what I wanted. I asked him to update it on google and yelp so that their customers will not misled.He says that’s the problem with google and yelp, and not with them. Also he says that you go and report it to google and yelp.Please someone open a good halal meat shop in Bellevue area.

They have really fresh and delicious lamb meat. They even have lamb liver which I can not find anywhere else. Cashier is kind Maybe not very American style but very helpful. He helped me to find some bean flour. Definitely my to-go for lamb and goat meat! Butcher is also kind too. He gave me what I want and help to cut ribs to short ones.

One of the few stores that sell Desi grocery on the eastside Seattle, but this guy is such a cheat. Today was my 3rd time that he added stuff that I didnt buy, or added incorrect quantity to the bill. I warned him last time, but he continues to cheat and overcharge. Today, I bought some grocery. paid, stepped out and went through the bill, and noticed a few things with quantity more than I purchased, I immediately went back and complained. He first doubted me, and asked me to bring back all the grocery I had bought. He inspected each bag (like I was cheating), and was acting as if he was giving me a favor even listening to my complaint. Though he paid back the extra amount he had charged, but hes so full of attitude.I will highly highly recommend everyone to be extremely careful when you pay, and do make sure you go through the list of items and the quantity you have purchased. BE CAREFUL GUYS!!!

Good place to get halal meats. Their beef is not that great quality. Fresh cut Chickens are good. They also carry frozen Bangladeshi fishes.

Review №35

Very good source of grocery. Specially the meat items and fish. Some authentic Indian spices are only available here. Good for quick bites too. All foods are Zabiha Halal. so, muslim people from nearby area goes there. Home delivery available for big orders. The also do customized order like marinated meat for BBQ party. Very few vegetable items are available. So, ready or easy cooking frozen foods are available.

Review №37

If only I could give 0 stars! Worst customer service ever! I was a loyal customer of this store, but never gonna go back! I dont usually leave reviews but had to after what I faced! When I told the butcher to cut the fish in small pieces ( although I told him the first time and he didnt so it) and said oh my god! Even the owner had irritation on his face and he didnt care if we bought anything from him or not! He even said your choice when we said we are never ever coming back to this store!We will rather go to mayuri to buy fish and goat rather than coming here!The people of the store have so much attitude and dont care if you buy or don;t buy from them!I HOPE YOU PEOPLE GO OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU DONT CARE IF YOU LOSE A LOYAL CUSTOMER! WORST ATTITUDE OF THE MAN WITH BEARD ( I GUESS THE STORE OWNER!)!FEEDBACK- If you guys dont really care if people buy or not, then I guess you will go out of business very soon! :)

Review №38

We only go here for halal meat. If there was another option we would not be going there because they have really bad customer service. They also do not give correct change and sometimes overcharge and we have to go back and tell them to fix their mistake. Some staff at the counter do not even smile or greet their customers.

Review №39

One of the worst customer care you can possibly get. Me and my father was standing in front of a rack discussing about a product, and a person who works in the store just bulldozed in between us without even saying anything let alone a polite Excuse Me gesture. I wonder where did they get those rude and impolite person to run a business.

WARNING: They sell expired products. They will put stickers with false future date on top of the original expiration date. We bought baby oil 2 times for our son and both the times found the oil was already 1 year older than its original expiration date.

This is a little indian grocery store around the corner. They have kosher/halal meat. Their beef supply is sporadic. I think they receive beef supply on Wednesday, by Sunday most of them are gone. The price is little high, and meat quality is okay. They have no concept of customer service.

Review №57

The guy behind the cashier treat customer as they have to come and buy stuff from him. He doesnt greet or welcome or even ask if you find what you are looking for. That’s the worst grocry store i have ever visit in my life.One thing to remind all women/ ladies who are not wearing Scarf or Hijab, this guy will not greet or welcome or talk to you while check-out. Literally will take the credit card without looking at you and swipe it and return it back to you.Ny opinion about this store is they think that if you are not a Muslim the. They should treat you as infidle and dont even greet.So, i this is a recist staff and bad service.Beside that the shop is not neat or organized and overpriced.

Review №67

Pathetic customer service specially after new people started showing up in the counter. Butchers refuses to take weight of meat even when there is no customer. The guy in the counter was no good and asked me to call them before arriving to purchase meat. He asked me to order over phone and then collect the meat. The just dont want to give you visibility what meat they pack for you. Never buy from them. there are other good stores in the locality, go to them.
