Dirty place. It is pretty obvious that expired food has the dates removed. (you can see places they've used a chemical cleaner to remove printed dates, it etches the plastic) I opened a package I bought and the contents were already bad so I was going to return it. I made a permananet mark on it so I could identify it. I returned it and they resealed the product knowing it was bad and put it back on the shelf. (I saw the one I marked there on the shelf the next day)

The baklava (pistachio) is soooo good. I was also able to get some Rose water and real lemon and lime juice. They have the real deal. The customer service was really nice too.

i purchased this labneh cheese from them and as you can see the price i paid 6$, last week i went to some arabic store and i saw the exact item just for 4$, how could be possible that huge difference for a retail item of under 10$. avoid this store and run away...

Ive had it on list of local places to visit for quite some time to visit this place. I was looking for something Asian. This is definitely not the place for anything Asian. However, Im very happy i did. Their focus is mainly middle eastern. I ended up buying some tafloon bread and some sweet pastries. They were all very good but the baklava was the best ive tasted. Im not an expert but i liked it more than the traditional type you find in Greek restaurants. What i really enjoyed was talking to the gentlemen running the store. He loved talking about cooking and some of the quality ingredients they carry. I will definitely be looking for recipes that match the ingredients and be back to try some new things.

my husband is their weekly customer and he is a big fan of persian fruit, cookies and more but believe it or not every week he comes home with at least one or tow expired thing example chess, pickles, yogurt and more. most of their things dose NOT have expiration date on it at all. the owner and his wife take them OFF and some one like my persian careless husband dosn't take a look he buys them bring them home they end up in the trash b/s we live to far to return them. One time I went with my husband to tell them plz STOP selling expire merchandise from other companies like Zarin. he rolled his eyes at me with attitude he took the cookie that we bought and it was expire back and he returned the money back WITH NO APOLOGY. Hell! we live in America this is so unprofessional for a businessman to act like that plus sale unhealthy things to people just to become richer every day. I wonder how much would cost to trash unhealthy and expire food and present right healthy food to people. Its so sad being persian and see what other persian do to each other just for a $ more
