Amazing store. Very clean and organized. Fresh fruits and veggies. Very good desserts and pastries and also different variety of meat. Very nice employees especially the store manager ajsela and one employee that works in the bakery and cashier medina.

The store is clean and organized. I bought some stuff but when I checked out and I arrived home I toke a look at my receipt ad three items had been added to my receipt that I didn't buy.
I had been overcharged by around 13 dollars extra. That should not happen in a good place.
If you buy your groceries there keep your eyes open during the checkout.
I attached my receipt I never bought the three Mumbar items cause I'm vegan.

Update 2: 5 Stars - October 2023
I always respect and admire business owners and managers who care about their businesses and strive to improve their customers’ shopping experience.
I want to thank Mr. Mehmet for his response to my (Update 1) review. It shows that he cares about his customers and his business.
Since the owner/manager was not directly involved in the incident and the response to my review clearly shows they are committed to providing a great experience for their customers, I have decided to change my rating back to five stars. Thank you again, Mr. Mehmet and I look forward to returning back to your store in the near future for more shopping.

Update 1: 1 Star - September 2023
I stopped by the store today to pick up some meats, cheese and other groceries.
I asked the tall gentleman with the back support belt who is in the meat section to cut some cheese on the slicer and right away he had an attitude.
When he was done, I asked for a pound of pastrami and he refused! He said “No, I can’t cut that, I don’t work in this section” and just walked away.
I was disgusted to be honest. Even though I wasn’t done shopping, I took may shopping cart to the cashier, paid for the items I had and walked out.
Next time I’ll go to one of the many halal markets on the island to shop instead of this place.
In today’s competitive business, losing one customer is one too many. The owner needs to hire better workers and monitor how they treat their customers. I won’t be shopping at this place ever again.

Original Review: 5 Stars - May 2023
Great place to shop for halal groceries, meat and food.
Everything is well organized and clean. Highly recommended. I would like to see more cheese options and fresh vegetables. Their prices should be lower as well. Some products are extremely expensive compared to other halal stores on the island.

Bad experience. !
Drove an hour and half away from the city ,
Got here , and wanted to get allot of stuff.
I went to get some marinated chicken but the tray was empty behind the butcher counter the butcher told me he was busy and that he just came back from the mosque and that he can’t make anymore if I don’t buy allot..
I told him how much is allot? , I asked for 3-4 pounds . Apparently that too small of a transaction for them . Bcz he said yeah I can’t I’m busy and I just came back from the mosque! What does the mosque have to do with you providing good customer service !
So I didn’t buy any meat from him at all.
And I will not be back anymore . Leaving now and going to nearest store to get my meat !
