The owner who was at the cash register was absolutely fantastic. Usually when I go into Middle Eastern places I get the creepy sleazy salesman vibe. However, talking to him about his business and the increasing sale prices felt like I was just talking to my father. I love this place
Great market with just about anything you'd need. The owner is very friendly and the staff is kind. The bakery is amazing! The restaurant part of the market is a 3.5 out of 5. The food is often over cooked but technically this is not a restaurant so I just want to manage your expectations.
When I come in to Shiraz on Fridays I get the Friday special which is lamb shanks on a bed of rice with the drippings served on the side. It's very good I like it. And I also buy Mint Ayran with it. I also buy saffron and Persian Tea from here. I also buy herbal tea Like Borage tea I use this to help me sleep At night. they have tea bags and loose borage. Borage also helps you sweat so If you have a fever it is a useful herbal tea. This is the only Iranian grocery store I can think of in this area the other one close down that was known is Iran Sara. That one close down sometime ago. I hope people find this review helpful. You can get what you need. You can also buy the rock candy for putting in your tea. The rock candy wands that you can stir into tea. They have saffron flavored rock candy wands. You can get a Lotta good stuff there.
Good place and lots of authentic choices to enjoy. Wish the bread was fresh but there are a lot of packages choices. Worth trying!
