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!

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.
