This place is a grocery store the same way a zoo is “just some animals.” You walk in for coffee and suddenly you’re trapped in a Middle Eastern side quest. Clothes? Yes. Jewelry? Obviously. Raw meat. Cooked meat. Hookah supplies. Tobacco. Perfume strong enough to change your personality. I’m pretty sure if I stayed longer they would’ve offered me a job, a marriage proposal, and a wholesale deal on lamb. They sell halal meat and chicken, which I personally cannot consume due to deep rooted childhood trauma and unresolved cultural flashbacks. No disrespect. My nervous system simply cannot handle it. But objectively? The quality looks legit and people were THRIVING. The staff was kind, the place was clean, and yet my brain was overstimulated in a way that felt educational. This isn’t shopping it’s an experience. A grocery store that evolved into a mini mall, a butcher shop, a perfume lab, and a cultural immersion program without asking anyone’s permission. Would I come back? Yes. Would I mentally prepare beforehand? Also yes. One star deducted only because I’m still processing what just happened.
