This place is small but packed with a great variety of items. I found everything I was looking for - middle eastern cheeses, turnip pickles, a variety of different types of olives, fresh (still warm) pita, pickles, lentils, grape leaves, spices and a lot of other goodies.The staff is friendly and helpful. Plus its right nextdoor to Falafel Dream which serves delicious food.

One of my favorite shopping destinations. They have a wide selection of inexpensive meats, beers, and fresh produce. This is a great place to find ingredients that are both clean and nutritious to consume.

HORRIBLE experience EVERY SINGLE TIME - I’ve been there a handful of times. The customer service is TERRIBLE. The employee at the register is ALWAYS either on his phone OR talking to the other employees or person that is NOT at the register. If you ever ask a question directly, he becomes bothered and responds in an annoyed tone. I’ve personally seen a couple that was OVERcharged and when the employee was confronted, they played stupid. The receipts provided are NEVER itemized, so you never know what you’re getting charged for. JUST TERRIBLE! Plenty of other GOOD middle eastern markets in the area!

Wonderful Atmosphere Stayed a couple of block away and enjoyed several meals and a coffee break. It has a wonderful atmosphere and would shop there regularly if I lived in the area.

I have stepped in a few times because I was in a hurry and this location was the closest. However, EVERY time I go, I absolutely REGRET the THOUGHT of ever going again. The staff is EXTREMELY unprofessional and rude. NONE of the employees abide by the mask mandate. At my most recent visit, an employee was vaping INSIDE the store, BEHIND the counter, NEXT TO THE MEAT! No one acknowledged me when I walked nor when I walked to the register. I left my things and walked out and that will be the LAST time I walk in or out. I rarely review any places but this place is HORRIBLE. If I could rate a negative star or stars, I would.

Ive been there several times and I think its one of the best middle eastern market in Chicago land. They carry a lot of imported items and goodies from Northwest Africa, which I appreciate a lot. The employees are friendly and honest. Also theres a restaurant next door if you want a quick bite of middle eastern foodies. Ill definitely swing by the next time Im in the area.

Their products are good but their service to the customer is bad. Main man in the cash is always on the phone, speaking in Arabic, gets annoyed if any question is asked. As if it is my fault that I’ve asked him something.

The store didnt have exactly what I wanted, but the workers told me the neighborhood that I should go to in Chicago to find what I was looking for. That won me over. As far as food items, they would easily have everything Im looking for.

Review №45

The employees are rude and not trustworthy I keep ending up paying extra somehow and they do not provide itemized receipts. The butcher is a douche and thinks hes funny. The only reason I came here is because of some of the products they carry, but will start looking elsewhere. I assume the owner works mornings and he was a decent guy other than that I wouldnt ever recommend this place again.

I wish i can give them zero star, prices are ridiculously high especially algerian products. Rude and unprofessional people, they treat people like sh # t. We are not going back and I keep telling my fellow algerians not to go thereThey steal in the balance, we will not return to this store and all the Algerians I know have the same impression
