Finally, I can get Algerian products, ingredients and spices!The best neighborhood Family owned convenience store and Halal butcher here in East Bay. Must try Mergez beef or chicken.Also, Algerian pastries...yumWelcoming, friendly and generous owners. Very good customer service and very helpful.It is my weekly stop for my grocery shopping.Check it out and see for your self.Cheers,
As a Moroccan I was delighted to find kitchenware from my country and many grocery items like moroccan olive oil, spices, dried mint and verbeena (louiza). And the best part are the moroccan clay tagines and kasria. The store owners are absolutely nice and helpful. I highly recommend this store to any North African person.
I love this place! Finally there is a Moroccan/Algerian market! I don’t have to go to Morocco anymore to buy my olives, spices, olive oil.... they have it all and more. Even tajines. They also have an awesome halal butcher and a nice selection of homemade pastries. You must try this deep fried and coated in honey dessert priced by the pound! It’s from Algeria. So yummy.
Two days ago I bought two kinder joys for my daughter for 2$ and next day I revisited the place and it was $2.5. I asked politely why the increase since I got them yesterday for 2. He responded with an attitude who sold you this I dont know? Today is $2.5 each. I mean yes I am arguing for a $ so please be consistent with your pricing and be polite with your customers.
Beware, for butchers not to inform that the innards of the chicken are still inside is ridiculous. We didnt even have the right knives to clean out the innards of the chicken. Extremely bad first visit.
Don’t go to that’s place it’s a trap ! They tell you they have Algerian food and all of that’s but the food taste sheet and so expensive! With that’s price you can buy from best stores in the city !
Its a shame!!!! beside the attitudes they have, the prices are away away expensive, I have been there once and was curious why back home items(Algerians) are not priced? the answer I got if you dont like it go to Safeway it reminds me back home in 1988........... This store wont last... I will never ever recommend it
I really enjoy shopping in this place. Great people and great customer service
Very good experience, super clean, fresh food. Fresh meat and chicken and some delicious Algerian specialities. Thank you guys.
Great service and price
Walking in I thought it was just another corner liquor store, but it is far from that. They have a TON of fresh produce and even a meat counter where they make their own sausages and grind their meat to order!Its a bit basic for pantry stocking stuff like canned things, but for fresh its real good.
This place is best unexpected treat of 2020. After moving to neighborhood in the summer we came to realize that this store literally has everything we would need in these pandemic days. No need to go to some big store. They have the best meat selection with an accommodating butcher. We always get the pre-marinated Algerian style chicken. They have the hard to find spices including a great zaatar. They make their own delicious bread, hummus and babaganoush. The coffee is pretty damn good as well. I made my whole Christmas dinner just from what I bought in their store. Everyone is friendly as well and on se parle francais si on veut pratiquer un peu.
Lovely, super clean and convenient. They have fresh produce and the owner is very nice. Its very important to support small businesses and I would definitely shop over here than at big grocery stores.
The best growing market in Berkeley nice customer service so clean 👌

Professional costumer service, clean store and the most important is the meats, they have a very good( mergez )sausages, lamb liver is perfect, lamb chops like a butterThanks guys and keep going

Didn’t like that they had flies flying around and locked inside the glass display with the meat! Almost didn’t even wanna purchase what he had weighed out for me already but I did and We’ll let’s just say I doubt I’ll be back.
Thier meat is just outstanding, very cleangreat products thank you
As Always. Great service.
New ownership. Impressed with their product selection & prices.
Great selection for such a little store!
Beautiful grocer and well-liked treatment
Nice little corner store. They dont sell liquor, but thats there only real flaw. I have often found fancy items i wouldnt expect like panko and heavy cream.The store is under new management and the new guys are super nice and are making the store a real gem. The butcher counter is looking super tasty and they have a lot of fresh hot food on offer. They make their own merguez sausage which is tasty.
Prices not reasonable
Don’t wait to stop by, it’s an amazing market
Amir is great and so is his dad! Awesome family run business with fresh produce always.
Skip Berkeley Bowl. I shop here regularly. They have tons of produce plus good selection of cheese and eggs. Folks are nice and helpful!
😍
This is a great store. Good meat and fresh veggies and the owner is very very nice! Please go!!
Has the best hamburger meat in the world.I have bought about $30 worth and have not been able to drain a single drop of fat of off any hamburgers, sloppy Joes or any other meals I have prepared with it, the old man( proprietor) is of Muslim preference and apparently fat is not.( A preference of his). And lots of produce for a small store.
Berkeley Bowl had no Fuyu persimmons. Berkeley Produce and Meat had the greatest heirloom locally grown persimmons. They saved Christmas.
Reliable store with great service!
Pretty nice experience, not as good prices as Safeway, small selection but fresh meat and cheese and milk was affordable. No alcohol.
