There is a reason that there are so many great reviews for this place. The selection is great, the food is delicious, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and above all the staff is amazingly helpful and polite. In the likely event that you cant read a label they are more than happy to translate, tell you what flavor and consistency, compare it to other foods, and give you suggestions. I discovered this place by accident and I now come by quite a bit. My only complaint is that they need a bigger building because when it gets busy there is barely standing room (but they move fast to get everyone checked out).
Ordered 4 large trays of pilaf for an event for 150 and everyone was impressed. It would probably feed 200 as a side dish, portion sizes for these trays are very generous. Picked it up on a Saturday for a Sunday event. The cashier/owner gave me thorough instructions on how to reheat for my event. Using her instructions the rice still tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely will order from them again.
This is our new favorite place! We get the chicken family plate and it’s a big hit with the kids too! Always friendly staff and unique items.
The staff is very friendly, a pleasant place to shop. Love their food and their products! Their groceries are fresh.
Love the food there will go there when we are in town every time...
This place is delicious!!! Everything about it. Their rice pilaf and bulgar rice is also soft fresh and fluffy. Their yogurt is one of my favorites. Chicken, Lamb, and Beef amazing. Their hummus is one of my top favorites. Not to mention the staff is extremely welcoming and so helpful. Their customer service is impeccable. Love you guys 💕
The owners are so friendly and welcoming. It is a very small store but to have to say they have a good selection of items. This place is my go to when I want to make a Mediterranean dish.This is my first time ordering food from here and I have to say its some of the best Mediterranean food Ive had in a long time. I would recommend going here, lamb was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Chicken wasnt dry, very tasty. Their garlic dip and hummus were pretty great. Will definitely order again.
The Best Armenian and Middle Eastern supermarket in Fresno
Place is awesome I love their food here reasonable prices for really great Armenian food I went and ordered a big pan of rice for my sons birthday along with some other stuff that I ordered from other restaurants but they are such lovely sweet people will always continue my shopping
Very friendly owners. Always fresh produce...
All I have to say is WOW! The food was good. Coming from Los Angeles and being exposed to a diverse selection of Mediterranean restaurants, I have to say that this place is delicious and authentic! It is not a sit-down restaurant at all. Only take-out. The wait is about 10-15 min when you place an order. There is no where to sit, and its a tiny market. The market itself sells items such as their garlic sauce and hummus (fresh). Along with pastries, deli, and items you can buy home to make your dishes. The combo plates do not come with hummus. You get your protein, salad, rice pilaf and garlic sauce. Although I believe you can sub the garlic sauce for hummus, but I like both and had to pay extra for a container of hummus which was way too much for my dish. There was plenty to save if you would like to use it for chips.
I always buy stuff what I need and they always have what I need Im very happy 😊
Perfect little market for all things Armenian....with a good little restaurant inside. Highly recommend. Owners very friendly and helpful.
I dont have an Armenian deli or grocery near me in the bay area but anytime I am visiting family that lives in the valley I stop in here to buy a bunch of stuff to take home with me. Great selection and always super friendly in this place.
My favorite Armenian Deli! Great selection of Armenian food items to make yourself or purchase already made. Everything they make is delicious.
Great family run business. Great food and prices.
Great Mediterranean food 👌
Great Foot in this Market. Dont go down the street when this is the best place in town! Its a whole in the wall so dont blink just stop for the Kabob Plates!
Incredible service, the lady working at the front treated me like her own son
Best Lula in town!
I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!!! Great take out... A small market but has so many fun foods.. great marinated meats to grill at home... Great service... Family owners
Prices are low on the great food you get here. Very tasty meats
Most delicious and memorable meal.
Amazing staff... Amazing food. Cake recommendation was a hit. Everyone I catered to was asking where I got my food from. Food made to order so call in advance for bigger portions.
Very friendly and family-like atmosphere. Chicken was delicious, rice could have been seasoned more, and the garlic sauce was very thick - almost like a sour cream consistency. The food wasnt bad, but it wasnt great although the presentation was favorable. This place is also a market - the babaghanoush was very good!
Great food and reasonable prices. I really enjoy the chicken kabob salad meal. One of my favorite dishes. I highly recommend going here. The family that runs it is very nice and helpful too.
I love this place ! I visit weekly to pick up marinated kebabs and fresh local fruit ant vegetables ! Also great pastries breads cheeses etc. The owners are sincerely nice people who work hard and even harder at serving their customers ! I highly recommend !
Got a chicken burrito and chips today.
The Ararat Market & Deli is the best by far...Ara, his wife Helen, his employee Annie are so nice and Helpful they have the best Armenian/Mediterranean food in the Fresno / Clovis area. My mom loves the chicken kabob salad, and Ive tried all the shish or lula kabobs (chicken, beef, pork, lamb), pork ribs, lamb shank you WONT be DISAPPOINTED👍👍
Go to place with a wide variety of authentic mediteranian culinary ingredients and or products with an awesome take out menu of lunch or dinner plates attended by great owners, (chef, clerk)
Very nice staff and their lamb chop w/rice plate very good. Lots of fun items 2 buy and try. Will stop by again.
My boss introduced me to this place recently and Id have to say its a new favorite. My favorite is the beef and chicken kabob plate. This comes with 3 pieces of chicken & 3 pieces of beef, rice, 3 pieces of pita bread, a little side salad and their garlic sauce! Everything is delicious! You wouldnt think this place was so good by the outside of building, but looks can be deceiving! Their sochi cheese bread is wonderful and so is their spicy hummus. Plus the owners are so sweet and polite! Everything is made fresh so expect at least a 20min wait for your order. You wont be disappointed!
Small, you are not going found what do you want …
Small, yet very friendly. The smoked sprats and smoked salmon is very good here.
Lady behind the counter was lovely. The food was better, Im sorry but the food is like grandmas. Tyvm
I ordered the chicken kabob and rice pilaf. It is the best chicken kabob I have had in the Fresno/Clovis area. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was so flavorful. The pilaf was very good. It also came with a pita bread.Now lets talk about the garlic sauce! It is AMAZING! We also picked up hummus and pita chips. Seriously there is not one thing that was not first rate.I highly recommend this place if you are looking for the real deal.
Good job 👍🏻
Go here, eat out of your comfort zone.
This is the most incredible market/deli in Clovis/Fresno! All the menu items are wonderful - we order take-out for lunch at least once every week - then when we pick it up we can gather fresh breads, cheese and produce to take home. They also have homemade delights that keep us happy and coming back for more! Thank you Ararat - you are the best!
Good and small shop for quickly grab and go stuff. They have exotic foods and goods here from Iran to Armenia. Mediterranean, middle Eastern, Russian you name it. Owners/cashiers are really nice at this location eventough this place is so small and maybe they dont always have what i want Ill always come back just because they are nice. I used to go to the other Armenian supermarket at shaw and first but stopped because they are rude and unfrindly.
Totally in love with this place. The owners are so nice. The food is so good! And we even tried their meat on our grill its great! I also find Mediterranean and Russian food which is very convenient.
Great produce, exceptional service!!!!! Owners make sure that every customer gets individual attention. Quality of products and customer service are the drivers for successful business. This is a long overdue Armenian/Russian market in Clovis area. I am definitely referring everyone I know to their store.
Love that they have a great selection of prepared foods to eat as well as grocery items. Only one thing about the pita bread its not very fresh daily...
I love this place. Always friendly, product is the best quality and fresh. Always go there.
Love the menu as well as the grocery selection they have. Ara the owner is cool as hell. Got great lamb.
BEST Mediterranean food weve EVER had! The owners are great people and they always make my family feel like we are part of theirs! They have a great selection of hard-to-find spices, teas, exotic foods, and fresh all natural meats you can buy and cook at home! I HIGHLY recommend Ararat Market to everyone!
Great family owned business with fantastic products
Love the food.
Arminian owners, excellent customer service, very sweet people. Food made fresh to order so it does take a little time. Order first to pick up and dont have to wait. Amazing food very healthy and tasty. We were visiting from Texas and so glad found this place.
OMGoodness! Food is absolutely wonderful! Great for catering an event. ITs not a restaurant but a market that is pretty clean. Service was friendly and did I mention the food was good! So flavorful and plentiful!!
Best customer service as well as great amazing products A+++
Not so nice, not so friendly. The employees think They Make decisions for boss..the boss seemed very nice and very friendly to bad he wasnt around
This is the perfect market for all your Armenian food. Fresh, frozen and to go are all available. Lots of canned foods, lamajoon, choreg, string cheese, are all there. Great alternative since Nina’s closed.
Awesome place great service food so good thank you
Super delicious food and helpful service! We made a large order on a Friday for the following evening and it was spot on with the amount of food recommended and all the items were exactly as ordered.
Fantastic quality Armenian food at a low price, just like in Yerevan.
Best kabob in Clovis
Every time Ive come here they are very polite and friendly. Their food is very delicious and if you order ahead for pick up on another day they have your food ready on time.
Probabaly Fresnos (Clovis) best selection of Eastern European food.
I love this little specialty market that stocks Armenian and various Middle Eastern foods. Also the prepared foods like kabobs are great.
Very nice and friendly people and good stuff.
Love the owners they are good people
Awesome little place. i have their kabob weekely and will continue.
Amazing food and market and very wonderful and warm service
I cant wait to come back to this place. Everything was delicious. They make most items in house, and what they dont they get almost every day. I noticed some items (especially the lahmajoun) was bought in from Ninas bakery in Fresno, a place I NEED to try. My mexican father in law said the flap meat (beef) kabob was the best beef hed ever had... and he calls himself a cowboy. See you soon Ararat
If you like mediterranean food, this is a great place to get it!! Wow I was totally impressed with the selection and the quality of the items there. Delicious!!!
Great people and great food! Love this place. It is a hidden gem👑💎👑
Recently I was introduced to Mediterranean food and was told that this place has some of the most authentic and sure enough they did not dissapoint.I just had some a week before from another place and wow what a diiference.The flavor of the meat was the main difference.
Great store to pop in for your Armenian groceries! Owners are always kind & gracious!
