Great place for lunch in the heart of downtown. ++Fresh food cooked every day, served quickly cafeteria style.
I get deli turkey slices from here. Not bad. I tried other prepared food items being served for lunch. The folks were really helpful when asked what was halal/zabiha or not. The wraps are good, very different from the typical gyros served at greek places. Right next to Discover Green park. Ideal for planning an afternoon picnic!
Good gyros during lunch.
I really like shopping here because they have a great variety of food stuff....Indian spices, couscous, lentils, pasta, specialty cheeses and halal deli meat...it's a shame that they sell alcohol though. I will say that it is very clean, well organized, with workers that are helpful and generally nice. Prices are reasonable, with the exception of the produce which seems high. I buy halal deli meat here and the rest of my halal meat across the street at Adam's market.
This is a supermarket but you can also buy fresh, hot food here. The food is average, but at least we have another zabihah halal option in downtown.
