★★★★☆ Over the years there have been changes to ownership in the meat department, but I believe it has been consistent for the last 2-3 years. I have experienced a lot of bad meat in the Bay Area, places where I have been sold spoiled meat, places where chicken has been frozen, thawed and re-frozen, places where the goat is old and tough to eat. Besan is pretty consistent. They usually have a good stock, a wide variety of cuts, including chicken breast and ground chicken, they have the case fully stocked so you can see what you are buying. I have been coming for years and it's not the nearest halal market to my home, it's worth the 20 min drive for quality and consistency. My only negative is that a few weeks ago I was sold bad ground beef. It had a terrible smell to it and took a lot of work to get the smell out of the meat to make it edible. I am hoping it was just a bad batch and doesn't happen again. Posted on November 1, 2013

★★★★★ I liked the location of this store and the fact that I can always get parking, not to mention my desi groceries all at the same time. The store itself has a great variety of cut meats and to my surprise, it also sells organic chicken! That alone is worth the trip! Staff were friendly and welcoming and very helpful.

★★★★☆ I just went there today. There is a lot of middle eastern food. There is also halal meat (chicken, lamb, beef, ..). The people are nice (they are from palestine) and the prices are ok. Posted on October 29, 2006
