My regular shop to go to. Would give it 5 stars if the cashier wearing hijab wouldnt be so rude. I dont think this lady likes working there or maybe shed only be nice to anyone that speaks her language 🙃i like the other cashier better. Always so nice and respectful.

We have been buying meat from this place for the past couple of years. The meat is fresh. Friendly ladies at the register. I recommend this place.

I went to get goat meat and I was waiting for more than 15 minutes. The lady at the cashier counter does not even care asking me for any help. When I asked her after my long wait, she simply said we have only 2 guys working and does not bother checking with the guys to help me. I simply left the shop without getting meat. Very bad customer care.

Fresh cut halal chicken and you can pre-order with customizable sizes.

Their meat quality is top notch most of the times ( though everything has some exceptions) but they need to improve on their butcher section people to talk politely to the customers sometimes...coming to the grocery section I love the variety of items and the arrangement made using the space they have got...Finally their customer service is extremely welcoming at times and sometimes not depending on the person who’s at the register. I will give 3.5 overall.. good luck..

Very discourteous owner. Rude and their weight is questionable. Never call and order and that’s when they cheat on the weight. Also their meat prices are very high. Not honest and would not recommend this shop.

Great Asian grocery and halal meat. Space is a little small. A little hard to maneuver if there is more than one person in the store.

I went here the first time, I usually go to bismillah store in Glen Burnie but today I had a trip to Wegmans and I said let me find a halal meat store near that area.. I went inside and I was looking at the meat thinking about how much meat(chicken, ground beef, lamb, etc, is enough for a party of 14. The guy (Spanish accent) was there along with about 4 others he said to me, what you need, I said Im thinking, he said I dont have time, with an attitude . He surprised me like hes the customer and Im the business. At that moment I changed my mind and I left. If the customer service was good, I would have converted to use them always because the meat is the same anywhere. Man that was bad, really bad.

I eat in this great restaurant quite a bit! This is the best place to have a bite. I visit this spot frequently. The food is very good, the staff members are professional and the charge is decent. I enjoy eating in this spot for a good dinner.

I love the selection and variety of foods here. I visit every couple months and they hardly ever seem to be out of anything. Customer service can be hit or miss depending on who is working. Im not sure if its a cultural or gender thing, but one of the ladies working there is a little offputting. I love that they sell both the red and black henna cones. Their samosas are delicious. Overall, I will continue to shop here.

Review №19

They have everything from groceries to toiletries to a butcher shop. But theyre never polite and welcoming. No smile. No hello. No have a nice day. So I only shop here when Im not close to other halal places. Customers are business, without us, the is no business.... it doesnt hurt to smile, greet us as we walk through the door and thank us for paying your bills. Theres plenty other places to shop.

Great place for freshly cut Lamb (cut bone-in on a band saw, or boneless hand trimmed). They also have pre-seasoned chicken, lamb, and beef. Additionally they carry a wide array of spices, dried goods, and fresh ingredients like ginger, garlic, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, etc...

I LOVE this place and usually shop there several times a month. The service is great, the fresh meat is fabulous, the prices are low, the butchers are helpful, it’s clean and the people are kind. What more can I say?As a foodie, I highly recommend Halal Columbia and have it as a favorite on my WAZE app.

Good place to get fresh goat meat and chicken. Store is not too big but has all the items. Theres little wait time in its peak hours. Place could feel a little cramped when theres too much rush. And because most people come here for meat, the response time is pretty fast at the store.

Have been going there for the past 5-6 years since the shop opened.Small shop but always have what I need and are well stocked.Meat section is also well stocked, and the staff has always been courteous and compliant to whatever kind of meat selection I order. Even if something doesnt turn out right and I mention to the owner, he has graciously replaced it at no extra charge.

Review №44

Great place to shop a huge variety of South Asian spices especially Pakistani and Indian masala. Its every kind you name it and you ll find it there. Frozen section has a large variety too.The best part is the halal meat where you find fresh white and red meat of any kind and they prepare it the way you like.I like the veggies too they are always fresh.In a nut shell, I find every thing for my kitchen which save my time and does not let me wonder much.Highly recommended.👍🏼

Review №46

Top notch,and clean with courteous service and most importantly, a very clean and efficient fast- moving halal butchery, unlike some other big brand halal Desi stores in the area where the meat literally stinks (old/rotten) and the goods are mostly expired.Columbia Halal Meat store definitely puts all those Desi halal stores to shame. Highly recommended. 5 stars all the way!

Of all the Halal meat stores in and around Columbia and Ellicott City, this store sells the best Halal meat which is fresh, tender, well cleaned, cut to size as requested. I never regretted buying meat from here. Smoked goat paya (feet) is sold here, which is not very commonly sold at other meat stores.I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a good halal meat store.

Review №66

Roach infested. Went there for the first time a few months ago and saw a roach crawling on the shelf like it owned the place. Totally disgusted, I went to the man who was at the register and told him what I saw. The worst part was he was neither concerned, surprised nor alarmed!!! Clearly I was telling him something he already knew. So it’s a NO for me - never going back.

Review №67

Typical small Indo-Pak grocery and meat shop. Nothing negative. Big plus is quality of goat meat. I cant stand smell that is often associated with goat/sheep meat in US and I have never gotten that smell from goat meat I have purchased here and that is a big plus in my book. So if you want meat that tastes/smells like the meat that you buy in Pakistan, this is the place to go to.

The meat used to be good, but the quality seems to be going down. Now they are selling regular goat instead of baby goat, but still charging the same prices.

Review №70

Their meat is too expensive comparing to other places. Bought sweet items, they are not fresh at all. Bought paratha, the packet was open and all the parathas were broken half. Most people don’t ask for the price per LB of the meat. Please ask their price first so that you can compare with other stores. I just bought goat meat per LB $9.99 plus tax. I didnt ask the price since it was busy but realized that I overpaid when I got home. Stuffs are rude and have too much attitude. I won’t recommend this place at all since we have many other desi grocery stores near by.

Great meat selections that are always fresh. I love the marinated chicken drumsticks and the seekh kabab is good, but could be more flavorful. Prices are definitely not cheap, youll pay around $30 for 2 bags of drumsticks and a bag of seekh kabab, but its not outrageous either.
