Such a foodie paradise. Incredible bulk spices at great prices. Bulk coffee looked great as well. Come check out this unique store with friendly customer service.

This store has been there many years and has many interesting, tasty and expensive goodies. The other day I bought a soup mix I get often but when I got it home and put it in a plastic container, moths appeared and hatched the next day. Disgusting! Also, even though we have been going there for years, if you have one peppercorn over weight they will take it out. So much for loyalty.

This place is the BEST. I’ve been shopping here for years

This is a little hidden gem. You can find some amazing spices and food from around the world.

You dont know this place? You have to be kidding me! Ok, well, this is the best-kept secret in this hood. When I used to live here, I would come to this store to get taramasalata, eggplant spread, feta cheese, octopus, and almost any Mediterranean goodies! This place rocks! Did you know that they supply all the Mediterranean grocery stores in Astoria with their spreads? The food here is always fresh and tasty. Come here. They have a good selection of spices, dates, nuts, and more.Now since I dont live in the neighborhood, I have to commute on the train for an hour to do my grocery shopping.

Outstanding service, super quick delivery in Bushwick area. Awesome products, highly recommend.

Excellent tabuleh — nice people. Very friendly. Highly recommend the food and the vibe.

I love this place, it has the best bread Ive had in New York, and I love bread above all other food. No fancy bakery can ever hope to compare with their plain white bread.

As a child of Italian born parents, i escorted my elder mother to this market where she purchased Greek olives for my family and as I recall EXTRA VIRGIN LARGE CANS OF OLIVEOIL which sat above our stove and used all the time.Is this offered through the [email protected] you for your response.

I love this shop. All they have is good quality. Love the olives!

I have been shopping here for over 15 years. Its my neighborhood gem! The taramosalata has impressed me and many dinner guests for years. The staff are extremely generous with small samples for regulars and expert advice on their favorite olive oils. Over the years I have expanded my selections to include their amazing aged Feta, olives and canned stuffed grape leaves (dolmades) that rival anything in the supermarkets.

Bona fide NYC shop from back in the day. A gem. Dont forget to tip the staff with a smile and some cash!

Has everything, friendly staff, good prices

They have coffee beans, seeds, nuts, spices, imported oils, many Middle Eastern items. Have been going here for years!

Wonderful little grocery, best for bulk dried goods and some Mediterranean shelf items. House made treats like baklava and spinach pie are good! Love their feta, as well.

Best of the best.

My go to place for halvah. Lots of interesting foods and spices. Staff is extremely friendly.

My Father 1st took me there in the mid 1970s when I was a kid. Everything looks just about the same today. Old world charm. A beautiful display of colorful spices right when you come inside. To your right is over a dozen different types of olives for every taste. Towards the back they have the best home made Greek treats. As well as Feta cheese, fish egg spread and octopus. Dried beans & nuts too. The owner & staff that have all worked there for many years could not be any kinder or more helpful. If your. Native New Yorker or a visitor this place is a great place for very high quality Greek foods with fair & reasonable prices. I love it!!!

Really a spice shopping treat. Will only buy my spices here. You will too! They have a great selection of international foods. Employees are wonderful to everyone. You are sure to become a regular.

This is a wonderful place for all the spices and herbs

Great products but keeps getting more expensive all the time. Like the guys but even with a long time customer they make sure they dont give you one extra pepper corn.

This market is a New York City gem. I get the good stuff from Greece there like olive oil, feta and soap! The soap is pure and made of olive oil. I dont want to use anything else now. The service is incredible too. The guys that work there always have a smile on their face and take pride in their work. They seem truly happy to help their customers.

Affordable, authentic, local, with some homemade Greek snacks and a cat named ginger.

Great place. Very happy they are in the neighborhood.

A good local grocery store. Nice selection and reasonable prices.

Five stars for the taramosalata alone. One of my favorite places in NYC

Always a pleasure, and very afcordable. Picked up an assortment of olives and cheeses for Dad to enjoy. Staff as always are friendly and efficient. Shopping here is always a pleasure and worth the lengthy subway ride.

New York City treasure house of delights and kind, helpful people. Great place to buy spices in bulk.

The staff is very attentive to your needs. They help you with new suggestions. Their spices are fresh

This is one of the oldest businesses in Hells Kitchen. They sell different spices, nuts, dried fruits, coffee beans and Greek delicacies here as well as cheese.I just love old stores like this. The price is low and staff is friendly.

This has been one of my go to places for many years. Great prices, great selection of spices and grains, olive oils and the list goes on. Fresh-Fresh-Fresh!

Ive been going here for years! Their products are exceptional. All their house made products are beyond reproach! Definitely worth a visit.

Charming store that sells raw spices by weight and other items. All spices are of course labeled. The store itself is not cramped but its not exactly what Id call spacious. If youre visiting close to closing time, please know exactly what you want to buy. If you dont know what you want, try your best to get there before 5PM. Cool store for Instagram pics because there are so many colors here. Reminder: they sell more than just spices.Editing to say: Due to COVID-19, the raw spices at this store are no longer self-serve — you need to ask a worker for assistance. The spices are also protected by thick plastic. The old way was of course prettier to look at, but it should be noted that the plastic is prudent and for everyones protection.

A great store with a huge variety of international producst as spices! A very friendly and helpful staff. Truly a gem in Hells Kitchen.

I try to go here every week for any grocery related excuse I can find! The have every spice you can think of, their greek cheese selection is great, I love their olives and their staff are just amazing! Also try their dried nuts and fruits, they are delicious.

A fantastic place to purchase spices, nuts, breads, coffee, cheeses and oil among dozens of other Greek options a reasonable prices. Staff is knowledgeable and professional.

Let them eat Greek! Traditional Greek treats and international herbs and spices at ridiculously low prices. There are dips, baked goods breads and more.Note,vthe store is closed in Sundays.

Very nice supermarket. Lots of spices and delicious spinach pies.

Authentic cheeses, spices and more.

Wonderful and attentive staff. Love their cheese.

The octopus is great! Just warm it up under the broiler or on the grill and you have an appetizer that will impress!

Super helpful and friendly staff, this shop has lots to choose from. International meat, fresh olives, tons of spices etc. One can spend 30 min or more just exploring the products in the shop.

Favorite Greek Grocery. Family business going there for the last 40 years. Great selection of Greek cheeses, Olives, Tarama salad is to die for. Try the spinach pie and mousaka. If in the neighborhood and you fancy some Greek products definitely stop by.

Great selection of spices and international goods. They also sell some great dips and Greek pastries!

Wow... this is the kind of place they dont have anymore... fresh spices bought by weight among many other delicious options... I have only purchased their tziki, feta and blue cheese and I would have to say it is some of the best I have ever tasted... mouth watering... also friendly helpful staff...

Best feta cheese in NYC. Big selection of grains and spices and condiments by the ounce. Best price on safron. Great workers.

This store is a unique NYC experience. If you ever need spices this is the place. They have pound after pound of any kind of spice you could possibly imagine in giant barrels in the middle of the store and in large bins lining their walls. Also, in their refrigerators, they have just about any type of Greek cheese or appetizer you could imagine. If coffee is your thing, they have a lot of variety of beans that they freshly roast themselves on premises. Their massive roaster is prominently stationed right by the front door. Dont get your beans from Starbucks or Dunkin - come here! They also sell this wonderful Greek bar soap made from olive oil that doesnt stink like cheap perfume as most commercial soaps do. It gets you really clean without all the drama. Just that and their friendly laid back helpful staff is enough reason to pay them a visit.The crown jewel of this store though, is their gigantic cat-in-residence. This is by far the FATTEST cat I have ever seen in my life! She got that way no doubt by eating all the leftovers from the deli section in the back of the store. Shes a nice, mellow cat too. I was going to take her picture just to show you how enormous she is, but I didnt want to embarrass her by posting her girth all over the internet (seems Beth and Anastasia have since let the cat out of the bag in that department, though). You should definitely visit International yourself to get a good first hand gander at her, though.While youre there, pick up some stuffed grape leaves, some real honest-to-God feta, some bulk spices and a couple of bars of that terrific green Greek olive oil soap too!

I adore this place. Perfect for party appetizers.

Ultra-friendly, knowledgeable staff. Excellent selection of quality spices, grains, dried fruits, olives, and more. Dont be deceived by the location -- this, Sea Breeze Fish Market and Espositos Meat Market are the perfect shopping trifecta in Hells Kitchen.

Best yogurt in nyc. Spices by weight. So many delightful items!

Friendly staff. Great selection for cooking essentials.

Although this Mediterranean store on 40th st with 9th Avenue may look small from outside, it opens a whole world of delicious products inside. An amazing Greek taramasalata, olives, Spanish olive oil, a whole range of spices and other delightful groceries. Check it out!

One of my fave store in NYC. Their pastirma and kasar (kashkaval), jalapeno olives are my favorite! I am going to try their frozen artichoke today :)

Cool place, great service. Ive tried their olives, feta cheese is amazing.

The best tarma and tabouleh bar none. Likewise the giant white bean salad. All fresh and homemade right there !

Awesome place with friendly staff and excellent service to regular clients.Fresh spices for delicious recipe.

Truly international.. Amazing variety of spices, dry fruits, and pickled foods. Friendly staff.

Excellent variety of quality spices, pickled veggies, cured meats and cheeses. Its a small family owned business with friendly service.

Overpriced & the quality is there!You get what YOU pay for!& nowadays everything is overpriced!

Theyve got so many wonderful products and I always get smiles when I walk in.

Nice collection of so many spices, flours and much more. Great service too.

Everything from spices.. Breads.. Specialty products.. Oils ..etc

Dont let the location under the Port Authority stop you from coming. This is a great place with delicious food and is truly unique.

Old school friendly service where regulars are remembered and treated well. Dont be scared to ask for samples. Great thermosalata, tatziki, feta, eggplant, moussaka, and spanakopita. Not a bad place to get your grains, nuts and oils.

The best of the best! Support small business!

This is my favourite store in NY when I do get into the city. Amazing Afghani bread, Yerba mate, Moroccan harissa, creamy taramosalata, excellent kashkaval cheese and all the spices your heart can desire. The staff has been there as long as Ive been going, and the star of the place is the fat cat keeping rodents at bay! Great customer service and lovely spirit! I share everything I buy when I get home...

I learned about this wonderful jem of a business through a neighborhood friend. Some how in my 10 years in NYC, I seemed to have not known about this place. I recommended to the employees to remove the stuff in the windows as it is easy to miss.If you want spices, nuts, gallons of olive oil, dried fruit, whole wheat, etc, this is the place. Next to the seafood market and soon down the street will be the Big Apple Meat Market, this will be the place for NYers looking for fair priced food in Manhattan. It is cheaper than Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and even Walmart.

If youre looking for Mediterranean spices, theyve gotm.Its small and nobody smiles but theyre helpful and the place smells delicious.Corner of 40th St. & 9th Ave
