Sara's full firsthand review
I never received warm customer service when I first started shopping here. But after seeing me visiting a couple of times, the store owner finally warmed up to me and my family. I never took the aloof customer service too personally anyways. I know that people may have language and cultural barriers. Anyhow, I like this ethnic shop because it carries a lot of unique and international grocery. Its not too far from where I live and it definitely beats driving all the way to Phoenicia. I still visit Phoenicia every now and then, but this spot is closer and its smaller as well, so it makes grabbing items quick. They have fresh cut meats and they also have fruits and vegetables. They have a nice dairy selection.. consisting of yogurt, labne and various European cheeses. I also like their spice selection as well. If you're looking into jazzing up your flavour palate, than I definitely recommend buying the spices here. They also have a nice candy and jam selection. I love buying the Turkish version of nutella here. It's the Ulker brand. They also carry this nice hazelnut spread which is delectable on toast. You can easily find a random and unique gift for someone here. All in all, Makkah Mart has something for everyone. It's a nice and clean shop that's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.
