Arash International Market

Food is always Fresh.
The meat is very delicious and good quality.
You find there all the ethnic spices u may be looking for to cook Moroccan, middle eastern or Indian food
The prices are very interesting
If u are looking for Halal food. That s the place to do your groceries

This is a terrific international store! Yes, yes, the meat is good but the selection of feta cheese and olives WITH PITS is worth dealing with that terribly tight parking lot. You are not going to get mint for THAT price at any other store, and it seems far fresher. The customers work with one another in this tiny place and the staff are great.

The best Halal store in Colorado in my opinion! Clean, fresh, helpful, friendly, and great prices!

I love this place. The parking lot is a shitshow pretty much anytime you go, but with patience, this is worth a visit.
Their meat selection is beautiful and reasonable. Fresh lamb, goat, chicken, and beef. So tasty. They also offer prepared «kooftah» (kofte to me), which is a mix of ground beef and lamb with spices. Make them into tiny patties and grill over coals for a good time.
I also love their olives and fresh feta. It’s the only place I’ve found with dried olives for such a steal of a price. I’m in love with the French feta, but the Bulgarian also rocks my socks.
Good, fresh dairy products from the middle east and eastern Europe. From labne to Bulgarian yogurt, they have great products.
Their produce, though not generally organic, is of good quality and offered at the best price you can find.
Their staff is friendly and everyone speaks English well. Though you may run into the old Slovenian woman in front of you in line haggling over the price of a bruised peach.

We were on the hunt for lamb & grape leaves for an upcoming family meal. We were not disappointed at Arash. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Although the market is small, there are a lot of items in it you can’t find in many places. We found what we were looking for and several other items we hadn’t planned on, but are happy we got a chance to try. Who knew there were so many different types of feta cheese out there?! A great experience. We will certainly return as soon as we run out of all the wonderful things we bought.

Great prices on produce. Good selection of products from all over the world. Produce was not only a great deal it was also fresh and of quite good quality. We will be back, definitely worth the 30 min drive.

The best international market in the area! I’ll drive 30 minutes every Thursday or Friday to get our fresh vegetables. Especially the Iranian cucumber and the Mexican squash. The lamb meat is PERFECT!
I wish they have more variety of candy and chocolate

I love this market. The first time I visited it was because the cook at the Afghani restaurant across the street told me this is where he gets his delicious rice. The employees are very friendly and helpful, it’s clean, and there are so many products I don’t recognize. I want to try it all, but in the meantime there are several things I will always return for:
— They have a huge selection of very flavorful olive oils for very reasonable prices.
— Giant bags of basmati rice!
— Spices that I have had a hard time finding elsewhere: Maggi and Za’atar.
— A large selection of fresh meats for great prices (we love the lamb).
— Those little white marshmallow-​y candies with the pistachios in them.
— Although I haven’t tried any yet, I like to drool over the huge selection of Middle Eastern breads.
My only wish is that they would have some in-​house prepared foods to take home as well like stuffed grape leaves, tabouli,

I come here every Monday and Friday for fresh pita and olives! They have kalamata olives for 3.99lb! Great middle eastern foods selection and outstanding prices.

We go here for the meat – quality is horrendous. For some reason their chickens are abnormally huge and yellow. There are plenty of other halal meat places around, I would suggest going somewhere else.

While I would prefer to give my business to smaller family-​owned markets, I have to admit that Arash is a great place for all kinds of hard-​to-​find Middle-​Eastern and Eastern European products. The produce section is also excellent. You won’t get the personal attention here that you’ll get at a place like nearby Diyar, but I come here because Arash often has things that Diyar doesn’t stock. I’d give them five stars except that they don’t have their own bakery and it can get pretty crowded.

Reasonably priced very fresh produce, nice meat selection, and very friendly staff!!! I was immediately impressed with this store and now I’m a regular!!!

I go here pretty often and I love it. I like all the options they have. A lot of spices and drinks. The main reason I go there is the great deal on feta cheese and olives. If anyone has ever gone to King Soopers or Sprouts you’ll know feta is usually extremely overpriced. With Arash’s you get a pound of feta cheaper than you would for a few ounces at one of the chain grocery stores around here. They also have different options of feta. I believe there is four which include Bulgarian, Greek, French, and I can’t remember the last one. The olives are a lot cheaper as well and better quality.
The only problem I have is they don’t accept manufacturers coupons which is odd. They’re the only place I’ve ever known that can’t accept them.
However, I will continue going there for their great prices on feta and olives.

We have been supportive customers of the market since they opened several years ago. We have never had any issues or concerns in the past and have been for the most part satisfied with the products and services. We traveled to the market requesting a leg of lamb, as it would be our holiday dinner from Arash.
We were greeted with rude, vulgar, and inappropriate attitude from the the meat department employee area. We were told to repeatedly come back (for 3 consecutive days) for a simple order. Simply blown off my this person. He verbally abuses his customers and made comments such as «no you listen to me, what I am telling you» never listening to customer needs.
I can go on about their rude behavior. Listen Christmas holidays or not, their treatment of customers was terrible. If they can’t provide a product a simple no it’s not available, or it’s currently out, or hey, we can’t get in in time would be appropriate. Not the lies and attitude we got. We will not be supporting this market ever again. We are disappointed to say the least. Word gets around pretty quick. Arash is not the only choice to shop I’m in Denver.
Frustrated that people and owners don’t respect customers dime. Gotta love it.

The best middle eastern market I’ve found in the Denver area. If you find one better, let me know. The people are very nice, and they have the best selection of bread and lamb that I’ve seen around here.
So, I went to Arash last night and next to the lamb I saw Mortadella. Is that right? I thought that this was a halal market, although I also saw beer on sale near the front door. I’m not Muslim, but I don’t eat pork. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Clean, fresh grocery store. They get fresh meat (beef, chicken, goat, lamb, and more) every Thursday. So go early on Thursday (before noon) to get the freshest meat. Even though all the meats look so fresh and yummy, I am not good at cooking meat dish so I got some pre-​seasoned ground meat (called Koofteh) which I am gonna make some tacos with it. The veggies are dirty cheap too. I am not sure if they are organic, so I didn’t get any this time.
Bonus: Everyone who work behind meat counter speak excellent English and the service is friendly and fast. Remind me to get some flat breads and sweat bread next time.

My friend recommended this store for fresh produce and various Eastern things. Store is well organised with many things i have never heard of or seen before, especially spices area. Good milk products, but major thing is various fresh produce its not that it has some real special things, but PRICING.
All prices are very low comparing to other stores. I got whole cart load and still paid like 35 $…for everything.
Minus one star for REAL LACK OF PARKING spots.

Arash,
You have been my favorite HALAL store for awhile now. please maintain that way, pretty please…
My recent visit with Hubs was on Thursday February 21^st 2013. Needed to get some Lamb. Unfortunately they dont have the cuts that I want, but I still get some stuffs for the ingredients I need for the upcoming POTLUCK that weekend. From Ground Beef, to Mixed Lamb Pieces and Lamb Sirloin and some of the produce I tried to get all the ingredients at Arash…
Then I also found several Frozen Pizzas, though only at the check-​out I knew the price… Oh Well.
I also notice at the frozen aisle, they have OXTAIL and BEEF FEET… Hmmm perhaps shall return next time and see whether I can get deals for these items. The store is always kept clean. The items are always stocked up. The salesperson behind the Poultry/​Meat counter and the rest of the staffs are always please to assist you and they are always welcoming.
The only qualm I have is the parking space outside Arash. The day we were there, its packed. so make sure, park properly and give way to other drivers coz things can happen in which it nearly did that evening…
If ONLY, they can make a bigger parking space for Arash…
All in all, its always pleasant experience shopping at Arash. Thank you, Arash…

This is a perfect little ethnic market.
Fresh meats — beef (halal), chicken and lamb
Fresh french and bulgarian feta
great selection of fresh olives which are better quality than Whole Foods but not as pricey.
Huge assortment of various tea’s (chinese, english, persian)
Fresh high quality produce at ridiculously low prices
Different types of pita bread
Lots of persian and arab desserts and snacks
Delicious samosas
and everything else you’d expect from an ethnic international grocery market
The parking situation can get a little hectic on the weekends but that should be expected for a popular place like this. So, exercise patience or park a little further away. I drive down from north thornton every weekend and wouldnt have it any other way.

I live in Highlands Ranch and work in Lakewood, so this market is out of the way to say the least. But we still make a special trip to Aurora every couple of months to stock up on groceries that are superior quality to, or priced more reasonably than, what we can find close to home.
I especially recommend the Tazah brand Falafel and Tabbouli mixes, the various Feta cheeses in the deli case, the very reasonably priced T-​bones and lamb chops, and their always-​fresh, super low priced green, orange, yellow and red bell peppers (you may have to search for the freshest ones). The canned Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) are very reasonably priced — I prefer the Zergut brand, which seems to come and go. But the real reason we make a special trip here is for the imported Italian pasta, which will usually run you $ 2 to $ 4 a pound at the big supermarket chains and costs $ 1.29 a pound at Arash for top quality pasta.
Great place, friendly service, and super prices. I wish they’d open a second location in the southern suburbs.
