I love this place. It has the largest selection and variety of Halal, Turkish and Middle Eastern products of any place I have been too. Shelves are always well stocked. I always find new to try. It’s always a pleasure to browse isles. The produce is priced higher than other places but you will find items that no one else has

Large selection to of goods to choose from. I thought that I found everything I was looking for. The lines for the cash register can get long but they move pretty quickly. If you need any European turkish groceries this is a good store to visit. Make sure you avoid the crater sized pot holes in the parking lot. Should fix those .

Whatever you her from this store CHECK THE DATE first! I got yufka it was horrible expired, cheese must sell by June and it’s still on the shelve and a lot things were all expired. The cookies chocolates everything almost. I don’t know how is that possible that they are selling expired foods but if I’ll see one more time seriously take it to the legal stage. They’re playing with people’s health!!!!

Great products and great prices. The road and parking lot isnt the best but the employees are friendly and you can find a very large variety of cultural and middle eastern foods. Very interesting and nice soaps, essential oils, and other exclusive products.

Honestly, we go there for all the sweets (along with salted ones 😜), fresh bread, teas, coffee and pickles. Even on Saturdays you can dash in and out in no time. Worth exploring everything that is being offered there. You might find something suitable to your particular taste.

Good selection of purely Turkish and also some Mediterranean and Adriatic food stuffs. The baklava is worth the stop alone.

We like to shop here once in a while but there are many things that I’m starting not to like about this place. The parking lot is cramped and a pain when it’s busy. The lady behind the bakery counter ALWAYS looks and acts miserable. Some of the things we have gotten have been stale or old. On the positive side, the things that we do like are the selection of cured sausages and meats, the butcher, the fresh Turkish breads, and some of the sweets (we’ve had some that we’re outstanding and others that were stale). Also, there are a lot of items that are just way too pricey.

Employees at the butcher station dont wear masks appropriately. Parking lot was cramped. Potato borek was stale and tasted like grease, we couldnt eat it

Why did it take me so long to visit this market? So many interesting things to try. You can make a meal out of the delicious smells wafting from their bakery alone. Will definitely be back!

Review №14

Not all the items are fresh, you must check Turkish Delights more often, and employees take some its off the shelf. We traveled from another state, and bought lots of goodies, however one of them was moldy.

I really like this place, a lot of stuff and halal. This is the only place I like to buy halal meat, fresh and organized. But I do not like that they don’t follow pandemic rules, so crowded no social distance. They don’t control cleaning of shopping bag. And I don’t like the Turkish lady who is working as a cashier, whenever I go there she is rude.I prefer all other cashiers.

Review №18

Just discovered this place recently and its a gem for middle eastern cuisine. The freshest daily butchered halal meat youll find in the area hands down. The bakery section in the back is pretty awesome, your cant miss all the Turkish goodies they have there all the time, baked fresh daily. The cakes are a must have if youre looking for a light dessert for a very reasonable price home made style.

Review №26

Great selection of international foods, especially if you are looking for items out of the Turkish Cuisine, it is one of the best markets in the area. Pricing is considerable due to the fact that most of these items have been imported.

This place is really good for fresh raw meat. Especially if you are lamb lover than this is the one! Bakery section is just Soo good!

Review №37

Some of the items they sell are low quality and hazardous to human health such as Royal Valley olives or a few deep freezed pruduct. Sometimes prices are misleading, be careful about that. However, people at the cashier overcharging, adding extra items to the receipt is not acceptable by any means:(

Review №38

This is what they sell. When I told them about it, instead of apologizing they started to defend themselves like oh, our workers might have not seen it like you guys have missed it Are you kidding me? Youre selling food products, peoples healths are on the line. This can be seen with naked eyes, how about something else? Think twice people.

Istanbul Bazaar improved its services and number of items they carry. Customer service good. But there is room for improvement. Parking kind of problem. Also space between shelves should be increased for comfortable shopping experience.

Review №42

Closest store to home. Customer of 5 years and going. Love their big selection of varies European products. They can prep/cut your meat per request or freshly grind any beef cuts. Great organized; they added fresh fruits and vegetables to their assortment - competitive if not cheaper price tags!The bakery is a great way to start trying European/Turkish sweets because it is weighted. Fresh rolls and other breads are available daily!

Very interesting market for a non Turkish person. They have an array of canned and jarred goods from Turkey, such as pomegranate molasses, pickles, teas, etc. There are cheeses, frozen foods and a bakery. In their small but well stocked meat market you can find prepared kebabs, fresh meats and basturma.

I did not expect this place to look like this in the inside. The outside facade is pretty bad which really doesn’t welcome new customers at all BUT once you get past that and go inside it’s actually amazing. Way better quality than the (now) dingy Corrados Market

Just like others mentioned it, be extra cautions and check the expiration dates on sweet items (eg baklava, fistikli durum and etc) I bought an pistachio durum which expired more than a YEAR !!! Learn thru my mistake and check the expiration dates...

Review №69

Thanks to their online order processing system. After I placed my order, they called me a couple times for following up with my order. Customer service was amazing. I ordered an electric tea pot set and it arrived very quick, well packaged and double boxed. I wouldnt be more satisfied than this. I think the guys name was Hakan. He was even worried that my package was not delivered at the time it was supposed to(FedEx delivered one day later because my business closes at 4:30pm). He was tracking the item and making sure that I got it. WOW!!If you continue on this path, youll be the best Turkish food and grocery seller in US.Thanks a ton!

I wouldnt like.to.come back again.Other things like food and groceries are ok.Some things are overpriced in my opinion.

Review №79

As a Turkish shopping places it is nice to have. it is clean, little bit expensive than usual. I am giving two because of butchers. They are rude, and I believe they use a chemical to make flesh look fresh and red. what I am saying is that there is a color difference between inside and out. If it is natural decaying outside should be darker than inside of the meat or flesh. you buy something very attractive looks red and so fresh like it is still alive,when you go to home it turns to brown. sorry i dont like that.

Im not Turkish but my husband is, so I buy from here sometimes. they always never bother asking if I have a store card which I have to keep telling them I have whenever Im at the check out. (the more you use it/more points you get credit and save money.) I dont like them assuming just cause Im an american yet I see they ask their turkish customers.
