★★★★★ Very good restaurant Posted on January 6, 2014

★★★☆☆ Still a reasonable place to eat after it re-opened. However, I must say that after re-opening, focus has been more on plates rather than what goes in the plates. The food quality is ok, but not the same as it was before it was shut down a few years ago. Posted on August 20, 2012

★☆☆☆☆ Nice decoration for the worst market, they sell expired stuff and food .. meat is halal but expensive .. if you buy labneh o cheese make sure that expiration date is typed on it not on stickers..I saw lots of mould on the pita bread... it's not worth it to waste you money on.."It is not us bluffed us of" Posted on July 6, 2012

★★☆☆☆ We go there for groceries. Excpet meat all other items are reasonably prices. We do not eat here anymore. I suspect their meat as Halal. Yes they do have a halal certificate, its not certified by HBSD. There are only two stores in San diego who sell genuinely halal meat Blaboa International and Poway International, all others are machine slaughtered, unless they get certified by HBSD.

★★★★☆ 1st time visiting this restaurant under the new management. Great service and delicious food. The gyro plate did not disappoint. They brought out picked cut cucumbers for an appetizer and rainier cherries for a dessert without us asking, it was great. Fast service even though it was dinner time and all the tables were filled. The grocery store next door sells halal gummies too (kosher fish gelatin)! bonus. Posted on June 29, 2011

★★★★★ My favorite place for a halal Beef Shawarma sandwich for $5. This is the only place that packs a hearty-meaty sandwich with delicious tahini sauce and veggies. It is not only healthy with lean grilled meat, but very juicy and tasteful as well. I have also tried the falafil and almond Bakhlawa, which is the best one I have had thus far.

★★★★☆ i clicked on vine ripe because i used to like eating here. i liked the shwarmas and beef kabobs a lot. i didnt know they re-opened. i'll re-check it out and come back to leave another review. see you soon! Posted on June 4, 2010

★★★☆☆ This place had re-opened under new management. The market is great. The meat is halal and reasonably priced. However, the restaraunt is pricey and the food is tasteless. You cannot get tap water; you are forced to buy a drink or bottled water. I've stopped eating at the restaraunt and only buy groceries at Vine Ripe. Posted on March 6, 2010

★★★★☆ Great variety of bulk olives and the produce includes specialty items. In the grill, the salmon plate is a very good meal at a good price. Posted on June 9, 2004

★★★★☆ I higly recommend this store. I get all my meat from here. They have 100% Zabiha meat. Friendly people. It is not pricey. I woudn't mind driving 16 miles from my home to shop at this store. I recommend this one Posted on April 29, 2004

★★★★★ This is cleanest and best organized halal store I have seen in CA.The quality of things sold is superb.Meat is halal.Neatly packaged.It is comparable to Albertson/VONS.Pricing is reasonable as compared to Supermarket. Now they have added eatery where they sell sandwitches,gyros etc.I would strongly recommend this store Posted on January 5, 2004

★★★★★ I have not seen a better Halal grocery store in the US. The store is neat and clean, nicely packaged meat, fresh produce and a friendly staff. Posted on October 26, 2003

★★★★★ "Remarkable, stupendous,. I've been to alot of halal stores in CA ,but this one really is the creme de creme. Clean and extremely fair pricing. A model for other halal stores.... Inshallah" Posted on April 11, 2003

★★★★★ This market is comparable to vons, just a little smaller. the meat is nicely pre-packaged in various styles. the produce is better priced than major grocery stores. Posted on February 21, 2003

★★★★★ "I've never seen a cleaner Arab market. A bit pricier (than the other dirty places), but makes it up with the friendliness of the staff and the variety of the product sold." Posted on February 2, 2003

★★★★★ The Market is very nice and clean, I just love it, we needed one like this so bad!!! Go and check yourself!!! Fi Amanillah. Posted on October 20, 2002
