Very good market. Small dining area with delicious food. Mesa location on Baseline is convenient if you usually shop in the East Valley. The restaurant at 20th St will reopen in November. Saloua talked to me while I shopped and then talked about their wonderful olives and feta cheeses. Best selection anywhere. Good prices.If I had a market I would want Saloua to talk with our customers.

First time visiting Phoenix, AZ, I found this market to be really good place to buy fresh meat, produce and Lisa bread. Many other good food items.

If you want authentic middle eastern food, come here! They have a restaurant inside, a deli with a variety of meats, and they even have a bakery! The food is also amazing, a variety of different foods to select from. The only find I have for the place is that the fruits arent always as fresh as you would like then to be; The vegetables are though. And that the restaurant is a bit pricey, but the food is worth it. Its delicious.

Chicken and all the regular stuff is popular here, but I made the trip for some lamb. And next time for some goat (Ive bought goat at the farmers markets but you dont see it at most grocery stores).Before I go next time Im making a list of wants, because even though its small, the unusual choices are overwhelming. I lingered over all the desserts and cheeses and spices and meats. But I left with just one jar of roasted eggplant because I couldnt decide!Also stopped in the restaurant and had lamb kebabs (very soft - softer than filet often is!) and tabbouleh.

First (and last) time at this one. Not nearly the selection as the one in Mesa, it was dark and dingy inside, not a single worker even acknowledge my existance, and not to mention some guy walking the aisles spraying who knows what all over everything from a ‘backpack’ type dispenser. I just got a weird vibe from this one. Ill drive 3 times the distance to the one in Mesa from now on!! That one is WAY better and employess are much friendlier!!

Very fresh produce poultry & meet at reasonable prices. Freshly baked pita bread (my favorite) even after they raised the price. I would appreciate if they offer the box price if you buy the amount that is in the frozen boxes.

They have good products, most of the workers are really friendly, until I decided to go to the dessert area, I don’t know much about Turkish desserts so I did not know if I was going to buy some, a man wearing makeup asked me if I needed help, I said no, because I didnt know if I was going to buy desserts. My daughter wanted to try turkish delights and I asked an employee in the dessert area for the sweets. I only heard a voice of this man wearing makeup say: thats why I asked you if you were going to want something in a really rude way. I’m not going to this store again, besides the chuchkhelas they sell taste too old. Too bad they have this person on their staff, everyone else was very nice.

Review №36

I went into the store this morning took a number. I see that the butcher is wearing gloves and he’s cleaning and working going into the freezer with boxes of food. Once he saw me I kindly asked him if he can change his gloves. When I noticed him going for the meat that I ordered. Then I heard a loud voice coming from the deli it appear to be a man wearing heavy make up. Yelling at me telling me I complain every time I come here. I replied as a customer I have the right to ask you kindly change your gloves. Do to the high risk of COVID-19 in Arizona please keep an eye on your food this place is dangerous!!! I reported It! The female manager and she was so rude to me too.

Review №46

I just had an argument with this store by trying to return an outdated item. They refused to return at first, but then one of the owners I think did accept the return. They are selling items that are past due in their best by dates. However, there was no note at the location where I found the item. I definitely prefer the Mesa location. Employees at the Phoenix location are so rude!

I am middle eastern, and Im telling you, you will find anything you need here, and not just one brand of the product, but at least a few different brands to choose from. The bakery and deli are fantastic, fresh, and made with love.It helps that the staff are also extremely helpful and kind.

I love going to Baiz. I travel about an hour from my house to get there but its worth it. I find something new to love any time I go. I definitely suggest trying literally anything from the bakery because you will not be disappointed. Great spot for all of your hookah needs as well.

This is our one-stop clean shop for all our ethnic grocery needs. They have very good selection of cut meats and fresh vegetables and fruits.

Great place to shop if you can find parking. Frequently the lot is full.There are great prices on meat, olives, and cheeses. The vegetable selection is not huge, but is fair and they all taste like fruits and vegetables--a nice change from other local super markets.

I’ve been going to Baiz Market for 20 years. The market has a hot food ‘restaurant’ in it. I don’t know whether the restaurant is owned by Baiz or perhaps the space is sublet. I’ve seen a number of people run this restaurant over the years. The current team doesn’t seem to care about customers at all. Today was not the first disappointing experience I’ve had with them. Ordered two shawarma plates (1 chicken and 1 beef) and a pound of garlic dip. Got two sandwiches and a pound of hummus. The cashier could not have cared less. The market is still great. Just avoid the haters running the restaurant section.

Review №67

Baiz is a true Middle Eastern market that offers a wide variety of products. The meat department selections are fresh. The vegetables and fruits department is always well stocked. The bathrooms are always spotless clean. The food at the restaurant always tastes great and it’s made fresh to order.

I ask the meat department to give me small cubes meat. When he finish it was not the size that I want it. I asked him if you can cut it again, the young guy who works there show me an attitude and he didnt want to do it . I told him if you want cut it any smaller than Im leaving. Start arguing me so I left. I want to a new store. who can do there job better. It was my favorite store until that guy ruined my experience. It was very convenient close to my house.

Every time I come to Dubai I stay at Raffles Dubai Hotel. It has everything I need, with nice and comforting amenities, comprehensive facilities, central location, shopping and dining varieties just next door to my hotel room. Nothing more convenient like this. Above all is the welcoming smile and charming personality of all staff in the hotel

Review №72

Baiz market in Phoenix and Mesa both are very good place to buy halal meat. I really like this place to buy meat and chicken and Mediterranean spices and Indian spices and rice items. They do have a restaurant inside which has good selection of Mediterranean dishes. They have good selection of beef, lamb, goat and chicken.

If you wanted to try food from Iraq, or refresh your memory from years back in force, all you need is to get here.... there are fresh dates, figs, lamb, all kinds of stuff. Really worth coming for lunch at least. It is a genuine taste and food is prepared by people from the region...

Review №74

Al Hana Cafe inside Baiz Market is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is probably the most authentic in town (not that Pita Jungle wanna-be stuff). I highly recommend either the chicken or beef shawarma sandwich.You can also buy fresh pita bread there with the steam still in the bag as they make their own fresh daily. Most other middle-eastern restaurants order theirs from California.I wish they would open another closer to my house.

Great restaurant for reasonably priced authentic Mediterranean food. Best baklava. I remember coming here as a kid the staff here used to be ridiculously happy and freindly. Now I either get a slight smile from a couple employees and scowls or dismissive service from the rest. Oh politics.

Not the old store that I remember The people at the check stand where rude they took customers way ahead of me I had a $50 order and the people way behind me had a small order, store was dark, like that lights were turned down The pastry person was very rude to my wife Ill come back next year to see if things are different .The small meat pies and spinach pies were mostly dough with hardly any filling and the prices gone way up on them I guess times are changing its sad

Review №84

Hit or miss experience at the restaurant. It’s close and seems fresh so we’ve been numerous times. Inconsistent quality usually. Bakery and baklava great!But tonight, I ordered dinner for my family. When I went to pick it up, they asked what I ordered. I told them, they read the ticket, they counted, I paid, I left. I got home and my kids’ food wasn’t in there. I called. They told me to COME BACK TOMORROW!! For my kids’ dinner! Nothing else they would do, just try to hang up on me so they could close. I paid for it but had to finish making dinner myself anyways.Like I said, normally a decent experience. What gets me is the dishonesty. TWO girls checked the boxes and the order before I left. I called as soon as I got home and the response was to come back tomorrow for my refund or my food. That’s shameful. Not acceptable from ANY restaurant, much less from one that seemingly exudes religious observance.

Review №85

The food was over all okay. 6/10 as far as the chicken shawarma. The beef eh. As far as look it looked Greta looked put together and nice. But then we ordered the knafa and I’ve tasted many knafas in my life this has got to be the worse one yet. The cheese was HARD as a rock. When we asked to heat it up they said it’s already cheesy. I ended up giving it back and they tried giving us a refund but we didn’t even want it so we didn’t take it. Knafa 0/10. Over all place 5/10. Also they have mad workers for nothing they still took forever.

I hardly ever review businesses, but Baiz Market deserves that I take a minute and give this family a HUGE CREDIT for all the hard work they do to provide us, the Muslim community, with HALAL Meats! Ive been in US for over 15 years and I had to almost become vegetarian because I always doubted about stores selling HALAL stuff until Baiz Market opened and Ive been shopping there since then. Im certain, but million percent sure that all meats at the store are HALAL! Ive not only seen pictures but also videos that shows how the owner himself is slaughtering the animals! I wish the owners can publicly post these pictures and videos! For those haters that are spreading false information about this place and the owners, please if you really care about meats being HALAL, be a real Muslim first, act like one, and wish your Muslim brother all the good. A real Muslim will never spread false rumors about his Muslim brother & will never hurt him! I just got my lamb Qurbani order today, with my name tag attached on it. it was very fresh and the butcher cut it and packaged it for me the way I wanted it to be! Cant be more happy or find any better than this! Be peaceful you people, and thank God that there is an honest place that can provide you with HALAL stuff!

Probably the best middle eastern/mediterranean market in the Phoenix area. The bistro is great if you want to grab a quick lunch or even have them prepare the food a party at home - I did it for 50+ people and everyone loved the ethnic dishes. I visit the store at least once a month for a variety of products ranging from yogurt, meat, humus, great veggies, etc.

Review №89

This the Baiz in Mesa I’m referring towhy does Baiz hire all rude drop outs? The customer service at Baiz is the worst service I’ve ever encountered. You walk through the door you won’t get a “Hi welcome to Baiz” or even a simple smile. I feel like everyone is miserable and hates their job, especially the Restraunt and deli. Their prices are way too high, we are not in Cali! Their meat rots the next day after purchase. And the Restraunt is inconsistent, one day the food looks near fresh and other days I get hard dry double cooked pieces of chicken, I ordered 2 pounds of garlic sauce for a party I took it home opened it to put in a dish and it’s all watery, I took it back immediately and I asked for a fresh one and I was told “we are not responsible if the products spoil after leaving” “are you sure you didn’t leave it in your car ?” Like first of all I only live not even 5 minutes away literally right behind the school next to Baiz, Garlic sauce should not spoil from driving from the store to my house. I will never shop at Baiz, they have a policy the customer is never right. They will sell your family expired food and blame you for not checking the food before leaving. I hope the owner knows what kind of employees their management is hiring . You lost a customer I’m going to Princess market and deli where they actually make it right when they mess up your food !

Review №94

Good place for middle eastern food and grocery. They also cater to more of a halal food which entails no pork products. Beef, Goat, chicken at the butcher and fresh vegetables in the back and the prices are very good if compared to other big grocery stores, but you will not get everything there.I had to drop to 3 stars as the pita sandwiches are not the same as they made it. They are lacking in serious meat and vegetables. I just picked them up after covid. Not great at all and that was the main reason I went there ...for grocery and beef shawarma and now not!

Review №95

First of all, this is a one of the few authentic middle eastern stores in Arizona. So thanks for that!!! However, even though They have some very good items, some are very overpriced or past expiration date. I wish I can buy their imported cheeses but for $8-12.00 that is too expensive. The bakery goods that I bought were not also not that fresh. I heard they are shipped from a bakery in Chicago. I normally just buy certain items- the teas, spices and olives. The owners need to get more fresh products like the Arab stores in Cali have.
