Great Halal grocery store in the middle of Pensacola. We always travel there from Destin to buy some halal meat and other products. Staff members are quite friendly and are ready to help with any questions. And their prices are quite reasonable. We are originally from Brooklyn, NY and were used some authentic Middle Eastern and Indian products. Thankfully this store has most of the products that we used to buy. Consequently it makes us feel at home. I highly recommend this Halal store.

The customer service needs big improvements, but this is one of the only places in the area that sells cultural food items, so options are limited, which is why we come here. They do have a nice variety of products for cooking and snacking. Its worth noting, however, they do NOT have fresh meats! Everything they carry is frozen! It would be nice if they added a butcher shop where you could get fresh meats. Their prices are on the expensive side, and I noticed the mark up is extremely high! Location is decent. Its located inside a strip mall next to Indian Grill and some other shops. Its easy to miss if youre not looking for it.

Good collection of many desi items. We found Ruchi and Bombay Sweets Chanachur, Mr. Twist, Comilla roshmalai, Bagha bari ghee and lots of spices and other Bengali sweets.A small section had Turkish sweets.Entire Store as well as the freezer section is spacious and clean.If you are looking for something really South Asian, this is a good place.On the other side, the halal goat meat was a little pricey!The Staff’s were helpful, well behaved and polite as well.

Bad and very expensive prices compare to the same product in different store.We bought a few things, like black sunflower seed 400gram $4 camper to $1.20 at walmart or exact much 1.80 in middle east store. Or tahini almost $10 and in a other store $6 for the same one .a little pumpkin seed over $5. Its 1.75 at walmart.Coffee high price everything small $8 to $15 . Big olive $9 and in walmart only $2.99. So all in all we was ripoff almost $100.00 for things we could buy alse where for $25 to $30.We never shop there anymore !

Love this place. Was my first time in this store and I was so happy to find a nice clean place to get all my middle eastern shopping done.

Not the best customer service but pretty great things in there that you will not find at an American grocery store.I love couscous and the other stores have the small boxes this store has more in the bag its sold into. I was pleased with that.They also have a lot of healthy drinks. Well at least what we would consider healthy on the islands.

The store will well laid out and has a large variety of spices, frozen breads, olives, as well as tahini. The hours due vary based on observance of religious dates. The have a good selection of rice and flour, which is great. Puff pastry Is available year round and is typically fresh. It is made with vegetable oil, but works very well with both sweet and savory recipes.

This was my first time visiting them. My parents buy emergency Indian groceries from them when they run out that they buy from Atlanta. They have a great collection of Indian grocery/spices. It is fresh. Prices are little high but you can get most of your Indian spices here. Happy shopping. Good customer service.

You can find plenty of international food in this store. It is really a must see place for any international who lives in panhandle. You will find Indian, Turkish, Middle Eastern, Eastern European food here. One of the rarest places to find halal food/meat. Prices are above the average and some items are way. And it will be great if they put the price tags for available items in store.

This store is a score for anyone who loves fun, tasty, different and cultural foods. A bit of Asian, Mediterranean, Indian and then some! Sweets, snacks, lentils, rice, sauces, pickled goods and more! Some produce too! AND... Two doors down is an Indian restaurant open daily at 11am! Yummy 😉

Went looking for Indian long pepper pipli on 12/28/18 but the individual behind the counter informed me that it wasnt carried. I even showed a picture of it on my phone to make sure we were talking about the same thing. I dont know much about Indian cuisine, but its my understanding that this spice is fairly common. So much for trying to shop local...Other than than that, the store seemed very clean and organized, and the individual working there quickly answered my question.

I would give 5 stars to this business, however it is hard to find prices of items sold in this store. Sometimes I bought stuff checking the price and it was different in the cashier, always in favor of the business. Good place with plenty of international food options, however pretty expensive and again you should be careful about the price difference. One last thing you should be careful about is the expiration date. Since the turnover is very small, it is very possible to find items expired or very close to expiration. I bought and threw away lots of stuff before and now learnt my lesson. Overall good place for internationals

On December 20, 2018 at approximately 1:00 p.m. I visited this store for the first time. The clerk on duty was rude to me before I even got a chance to shop. I’ve never met the little guy before, but it didnt make sense for me to spend my money there if I didn’t feel welcomed to shop. I left the International Grocery & Halal meat store and found another store who sells the same products that I needed for the holidays. It’s three hours later and I still have a bad taste in my mouth from visiting this store. I guess new customers are not appreciated.

Review №35

In my opinion, this is a good place, they dont have everything but they have good things. Some people give bad feedback because they could not find something or because something was pricey, if you think it is expensive, dont buy it and then come here and complain. Also, some come here to say the clerk was very rude to them, I will say you are probably not culturally sensitive to their differences,it is easy to perceive some rude when you dont understand their culture.

Good selection of unique products....prices can be a bit strange. I bought Lemon oil for a recipe it was not priced.....tiny bottle and I needed 2... They charged me $20 each. I was shocked. On line next time.

Being born outside of the US requires that sometimes we need to eat our ethnic food. First I am very happy that in Pensacola, there are several stores selling ethnic food.This is store was in an easy location .Of course since it is an Indian store most items were from India .There were other items from different countries . The store looked clean and items were displayed well.I was mainly interested in Turkish food :I know well that the turnover of these stores vary so stores are not always well supplied and it may be hard to find items that one wish to buy.I was able find some items that I wanted to buy such as red lentil, cracked wheat and rice.I was specifically looking for good Turkish olives . Unfortunately most of the Turkish brands were not the ones that I was familiar with . I wanted to try some different olives- they were okay but not the best ones .The price that they charge is higher than regular US store ( understandable) but if I am paying high price, I want the best product .We want to buy the best ethnic food not the cheap and crappy ones.Hopefully they will be able to store better quality items .

I asked for canned Gulab Jamun and White Rasbari but they said they do not have them. They said they only have the one in refrigerator, the expensive ones. Later I found myself those canned ones on the shelf. They try to cheat. They also charge more than on the tag said. They cheat you.

Excellent choice of all kinds of indian, turkish, and other middle eastern foods. Halal meats are their specialty. We buy our yoghurt there - high in probiotics. Of course, we also buy our loose leaf tea there. Great place to shop if your adventurous in your food. Prices are readonable, its an ethnic store.
