“ Ne zaman gelsem aradığım tüm ürünleri buluyorum. Çalışanlar çok güler yüzlü, ürünler kaliteli. Teşekkürler ”
“ Great Ramadan Bread best I ever ate. Very good variety of food and spices, definitely made me an interested customer I have already returned and plan on doing so on a regular basis everyone was so pleasant. ”
“ I'm from across the river in NY. That was my 2nd time thereZ. Lots of choices. Staff were very friendly and so helpful. ”
“ Great market with so many new (to me) and interesting products. The bakery attendant was so kind, letting us try a few things, and yes we were happily persuaded to buy a selection of different ones to bring home. Very good tactic! Basics are priced on the high side, but the Turkish and other international products are a good deal. This market has absolutely everything. Halal meats, breads, condiments, cheeses, fruits and veggies, cooking utensils, evil eyes. Anything you might need. I have a great time wandering around reading labels whenever the roomate needs to go shopping. ”
“ Great Turkish Supermarket. Seems like the locals shop here. Lotta products if you can understand Turkish ”
“ I adore this place! There's a lot packed into this little market so it can be a bit hard to make your way around other shoppers. However, the awkward shuffle is so worth it. I like to purchase Turkish sweets here, like Nestle Damak bars (creamy milk chocolate with pistachios), Koska rose-flavored Turkish delights, and other hard to find Turkish candy. There's also a nice selection of kinder bars/Ferraro candy. Turkish pastries are sold by the pound. Here I can purchase 1 lb of Turkish-style pistachio baklava for about $10. It comes out to about 16 pieces, which beats the $7 I pay for 3 pieces at my favorite Turkish restaurant. Other items I've purchased here include labneh, Turkish spices like sumac and za'atar, freshly cut lamb chops, chicken, pre-made Turkish seasoning packets (perfect for grilling), and more. The people who work here are lovely, helpful, and so welcoming. And they smile! They don't look miserable to be working there, which is such a pleasant departure from my local Acme. Without fail, I'm always approached by someone asking if I'm finding everything I'm looking for. If you haven't been here yet, visit soon! ”
“ We love authentic Turkish food, and rarely prepare it ourselves because it is time consuming to replicate. Kind of like good sushi in that way. But on those occasions when we want a DIY Turkish meal, or just some great quality halal lamb, beef or chicken, this is where we shop for the ingredients. First impression as you walk in is CLEAN. The olive and nut bar that greets you offers a limited but nice selection. The prepared foods are ok, but hardly the reason to come here. Their shelled walnuts are the largest and most flavorful I have ever tasted. The halal meats are first rate as is their house cured basturma (Turkish pastrami). The butcher counter always carries seasoned Kofte ready to go on your barbecue -- and it is as authentically flavored as any we order out. The lamb is freshly butchered (not previously frozen) and you can taste the textural difference straight away, as you can with the pide, which is bakery fresh. Unfortunately their dessert case of baklava and other Turkish treats looks better than it is. Some of the baklava is imported from Turkey and is pre-frozen, which ruins the texture and flavor. Beyti Baklava nearby does it better and it is fresher (and cheaper). The help is friendly despite being ESL challenged. I have worked through the language barrier several times to find natives pleased to explain what Turkish food is all about. It is worth the effort. ”
