Shayan Supermarket

Shayan Market has closed, HOWEVER– new owners and new name, Seaside Market has taken its place. Please locate here:

Shayan went out of business. I was very happy with the service I received, I will miss these guys.
There’s a new owner, Sea Side Market is the new name and I heard it will be opening around July 15. This place looks great inside and they will be making fresh lavash bread!
It is sad to see people gave 3 one star because they had been inconvenienced that Shayan went out of business.

This one the only place I get middle eastern cheese, naan, teas etc. very disappointed closed due to remodel. Drove from Marina del Rey to find out they were closed. No sign or information letting customers know when they will re open. Number on Unilocal is disconnected

Unfortunately — Phone DISCONNECTED. Not sure the future of this place — hope they reopen.

I drove all the way from San Pedro just to find out that they’re closed for remodeling. What a waste of time and gas. Why didn’t they put a notice? I was mad and disappointed!

we love this market. they have great ethnic spices/​tea we buy from here the café in the back is absolutely delicious and so cheap. we go here atleast weekly to get dinner!

I go there every weekend to buy meat. Its the best place I know where you get good and FRESH meat.

Was in there today & every employee except the butcher was rude… They just stared at me. I was in for meats for my dog… Been wanting to check this place out for a while now & today I had time so I stopped in. Their products are GREAT & prices are too but customer service was horrible. Again, the butcher was the only one who spoke & was sincere to me.

I buy the majority of my meat from them. The quality is great — always very fresh and the meat is usually lean. Most of their meat is halal and labeled as such which is really important to me. They even have halal turkeys for thanksgiving but you need to place your order for one with them.
Their produce isn’t the best so I only buy a few things from here for that reason, but they do have a good selection of spices, yogurt, fresh pita bread, etc.

Don’t be fooled by the low ratings. It’s a good market but it’s a fantastic resturant inside. The chicken shish kabobs plate is insane. Very basic saffron rice grilled cooked tomato cut in half and the chicken. When you sink your teeth in it feels like a grandmother is back there cooking up the master piece!

My wife shops here all the time. Reasonable prices, above average quality food, and close to home. However, I will never go back after this weekend. We went in on Saturday to buy some things. After, we were going to meet up with some friends at Big Bear Café for coffee. The owner, after clearly seeing us purchase food at his establishment, followed us to Big Bear and told us we would be towed from his parking lot! UNREAL.
For christ sake, I was a customer! VERY rude. So, I moved the car and watched as he hovered over the parkinglot like a bird of prey.
1) When customers do come, don’t kick them out. Why? NEVER coming back.
2) Yes, it is possibly to shop at your store and head off to other things in the area.
3) Don’t be an asshat
Simple business practices can make a good business great. The owner should learn this. Lost business. Enjoy your empty parking spot.

I love this store. Get to try middle eastern food that came from the Middle East. Great prices. I am still amazed with the prices. I do not know how you can grow it in Turkey, pick it, truck it, process, can, ship to the US, Unload it, truck it to the warehouse, middlemen, then get it to the store and sell and make money.
The food is alway fresh. Meat department, fresh produce, and dairy.

The first thing I noticed was it smelled clean, NOT STALE !!! Like RALPH’S !!! I really enjoyed shopping here ! And will return MANY MORE TIMES !!!

Great Great kobab and persian stew. You can ask them for prepared raw skew of kabob and BBQ it yourself which is so fun.

I love this place. I and my family have been ordering take out and also shopping here for years… Hands down wonderful whichever the case may be… I would give 5 stars, but am currently on a strict diet that has a vegan principle to it, and found out that the take out is not super vegan friendly. They will fish the meat out for you, but recipes of any normal persian dish will be most likely be made as originally intended. As soon as I am off the detox diet again though, it’s game on! Love you guys! It is all soooo good! thank you!!!

#1 the carne asada that the Latino guys make behind the meat counter is the best! Problem is they don’t make enough and always seem to run out. Always satisfied with all their meats and prices.
Grab different items like pastas and preserves and they are priced well and high quality. Only disappointment is the hit and miss of the produce, sometimes it’s great other time it needs to be thrown out. Very inconsistent.

I’ve been shopping her for a while and a while ago, would have given more stars. You will find a nice selection of items not generally found in large markets. The produce is nicely priced and generally fresh. Used the be the staff was friendly, last visit the guy stocking produce made it clear I was in the way, the guys stocking in the back did the same and I could not get the attention of the guy behind the deli counter to weigh dates. The checker and her helper turned their heads and spoke to each other, she spoke to me once, to say the price then waved the change in my general direction leaving it to me to calculate the trajectory and take it. I don’t like it when the staff gush all over as if you were best friends, but people can make it clear when the want to be rude and they managed it very effectively.
I don’t know what changed, they used to be friendly and that makes a difference to me with another «international» market a block away and no reversal of direction for me to head home from that one (International Market).
You do have to watch dates (as in expiration not Phoenix dactylifera), as another reviewer mentioned, things are sometimes left too long on the shelf. Some items are a bit more expensive than larger markets, not surprising, small market («supermarket» amusing) less volume.
The exiting adventure… yikes. If you drive a big vehicle you should know, exiting the arrows will take you to a narrow alley, a wretchedly narrow exit onto always busy and fast PCH. The «visibility» at this exit is a problem, watch for fools on bicycles and skateboards on the sidewalk, they will not consider you cannot see them until you clear the building.

This place has some of the freshest meat around, without a ridiculous price. Many of our neighbors also swear by their meats.
Fun, small venue to explore. All kinds of delicious, specialized items. Great prices on hard to find herbs and vegetables, and regular vegtables. Their fruits can be not very fresh though. :(

I love this little market. It is always clean, great fun International foods to choose from. I buy my «Date Molasses» here as it can be hard to find. Bob the owner/​manager is very friendly and helpful and best of all he supports his local community and is very generous. I am very thankful to recently meeting him and the support and kindness he has shown to our program.

Calling it a supermarket is a bit of a stretch. This Middle Eastern neighborhood market does carry an excellent selection of vegetables and meats along with their Middle Eastern food stuffs. Both their produce and meats were fresh and reasonably priced.
They also have a deli. I came here to do some grocery shopping and ended deciding to buy braised shank for lunch. For $ 10 you get a large tender and flavorful shank on a huge bed of rice. The only down side is they have no place to sit down and eat.
Next time? Gonna bring home some Kabobs to put on the grill.
