Quality food and fresh produce and great customer service sets this market above all!

I come here all the time to get middle eastern staples like sangak and barbari bread, basmati rice, doogh, and yogurt to name a few. The first time I came here the cashier made sure to tell me that the gallon of doogh (yogurt drink) was yogurt and not milk - I don't look middle eastern so good looking out but I told him that I grew up drinking doogh lol. They have a small produce section which I frequent for fresh mint and Persian cucumbers. Prices and quality are great. Ralph's is super close to me but they have awful persian cucumbers so I drive a couple extra minutes to come here. They have a deli and hot food section with a lot of items prepped for to go. I've tried the shole zard (sweet yellow rice pudding) and ash e reshteh (noodle soup) and both were good. I've always heard of the bbq in the parking lot on weekends but never came in on a weekend until recently. I got the mix koobideh which is one skewer of ground chicken kabob and one skewer of ground beef kabob. I was handed a salted persian cucumber to snack on while I wait for the kabobs to be made and it was so refreshing on a hot day. The kabobs came with some sangak bread and a salad/pickled veggies combo. I assumed the order would come with rice but that was my mistake for not clarifying. The kabobs were delish! It was $19 for two kabobs. Plenty of parking out back. Inside is clean and organized.

Soheil, the owner, keeps the market very clean, very neat, and well organized. The staff is super friendly. There is always fresh produce, and the food they serve is delicious! 5/5

Loved visiting this market as they had so many delicious items from pickled vegetables, ready made Persian foods, fresh produce and meat selections. Very convenient parking in the back as well as street parking in the front. Associates were very nice and the ambiance made you feel like you were back home. Service was excellent.

Came to a weekend cookout in the back of this Persian grocery store!   A hungry crowd stood around waiting for chargrilled skewers of meat and veggies. There's options of your typical proteins and not-so-typical ones, like kidney, liver, and heart kabobs. Our tray of beef, chicken, and salmon skewers came with whole roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, and bread - super filling for the 3 of us.  The wait can be quite long, so I went inside the store to explore. It's a clean space with lots of specialty baked goods, produce, and spices. Thinking back, I wish I had bought the Rosewater & Saffron ice cream bucket!

These foodie influencers we saw on social media (Alix and Zoya) were hyping up this bread called Sangak so we had to trek it out to Santa Monica only to walk out with way more than what we came for. We accidentally even dropped a jar that broke in the aisle and offered to pay for it but the super sweet worker insisted we didn't have to. Every one was so friendly and warm! The store was so clean. It was actually my first time shopping at a Persian grocery store. We've been to many other ethnic ones and this one was spotless with such a nice selection of intriguing products and fresh goods! One of the men grilling the kebabs in the back even gave us a salted cucumber while waiting for our order. They also hooked us up with a box of pickled veggies and the kebabs were delicious! We parked at the front of the store only to realize there was a bigger lot in the back. Excellent first time experience and we will definitely return.

DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! Order the grilled lamb kabobs or grilled chicken kebab it comes with grilled bell pepper and tomato's !!!!!! I am a foodie and this food is so delicious I'm so thankful I found it!!!!!!

I have driven by this spot on Wilshire too many times, but it wasn't until I walked past that I could peek through the windows of this small-ish gem to finally go inside. There is a lot to offer for the space. A deli section, produce, canned and dried goods, and a fridge area. My only problem was that I didn't understand the pricing for the deli and only bought a couple salad items because it seemed costly. But the price is by the pound so it gets weighed. Now I know! If you're into Middle Eastern food, check this place out and support a local business!

Can't believe I never reviewed this place. I thought that I had. Big shop with good selection of dry goods, produce, and meat section. The precooked lamb is wonderful! The employees inside the shop are not very friendly but who cares when the food is so fantastic. And anyway the weekend bbq in back is the star of the show! The ppl on the grill seem to be a bit more friendly. Must be the fresh air haha. Omg the kabobs are seriously to die for. I'm dead. Super tender and flavorful beef kabobs. Comes with all the fixins and they give you packets of sumac to go with your food. Excellent. Dare I say the best Persian food I've had in my life. Dat beef thooo. The baby love love loved it and she is so picky when it comes to meat for real. This place is a must try!
