Sunnyvale Market & Deli

The only reason I’m not putting five stars is because there were a few items I was looking for that I couldn’t find and because I haven’t tasted the grilled kebobs yet. My husband is Egyptian American, and we have just moved from New Jersey and are on the hunt for some of his favorites. We found mostly what we were looking for, and even bought a few new things to try (the flat wheat bread, it’s amazing, esp dipped in labneh, which they do sell here!). This store was fully stocked, clean, and had so many options, esp in the spice and dessert section. They had my favorite nouga and apricot candies too! The lady who checked us out was also incredibly friendly. And I’m unsure about the previous posters but I did not pay for parking. I’m happy I found this place to buy all our middle eastern groceries.

I would definitely recommend this place for catering. Delicious and authentic and halal.

Fabulous service at the deli counter and delicious food! Generous portions as well!

Our office gets catering from this place, and it’s always super flavorful! Seems very authentic as well.

It’s a great place to buy Middle eastern especially Turkish products I always go there since the day I came to the bay area. I highly recommended
But the only thing is prices, they a lot higher then outside.

This is great market, there is new owner and they have product from middle east and nice fresh meet as well. Many products that I know from traveling to that area so I like come and buy them and drink nice Turkish coffee or anything else. Recently they open a cooking food section it’s Iranian people so the food is very good. They have cubidde or chicken on grill. Some cooked food fresh daily. Very nice people and amazing food. It’s different and very authentic food. They do accept credit cards and cash so it’s easy to checkout. There s parking outside and I would come in and try the food at least 1 time before you can decide if you like it or not.

Went today to buy goat meat. Great service to begin with. The butcher took the time to find the right piece for me as I wanted 2 lbs of goat meat. He picked a shoulder and cut the right size out of it.
He cut the pieces to right size and also cleaned the extra fat of it. So I will give 5 stars for service. I went on a Friday around 5pm.
The meat looks tender and fresh so for quality 5 stars.
So why I am giving this place 4 stars. Price was on the high side by 2 bucks a pound. Paid $ 9.99/lbs after cleaning it costed around $ 11/​lbs which is expensive than crab meat.
So would have been happy if the price was $ 7.99/lbs.

I usually don’t write bad comments but I am so upset, I have to vent. This store has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. If you order meat, they always trick you into buying the more expensive cut, you could be the first person to order but they prepare it in the order they like you could be waiting for 30 mins. The service at the register is even worse. I have decided never to return.

I used to buy chicken from here, it is good & price is also reasonable. But, I tried goat meat 3 times, but 2 times quality was poor and there is no goat meat mix also.

BE CAREFUL
These people will try to rip you off at any chance they have. I have been there several times and they have tried to rip me off three times by adding stuff that I didn’t purchase to my receipt. In addition to that the staff has very bad customer service especially the women at the cash register.

Don’t do it… Don’t go… They changed owners, and they have fallen in quality. In addition, they made the parking paid parking (which, btw, affects all the other businesses in the buildings). I REFUSE to pay 2 $ and hour for parking, especially for a parking lot that is not downtown. That’s 50 cents for 15 minutes… Sadly, this impacts the other businesses which means no one will go to them either. Further, they jacked up the prices on most items. They lost a good customer for both them, and the massage place next door for a fist full of quarters. There are many other Halal markets in the area, with fresher food, and free parking!

2 Stars :
— We used to shop from Sunnyvale market more often and most of the time we were happy but since the ownership has been changed, sometimes you see expired stuff and changed quality of fresh meat or deli.
— Their customer service is very poor, specially the owner’s attitude is not pleasant at all.
–We’ll still support them and shop some of our needs here, I do not like any small business goes down so I hope they will consider the problems and sometimes take look at the online customers reviews!

First the good: great butcher shop with very clean and quality meat which is presented well.
I have been going to this place ever since we moved to the area 6 years ago. Not sure if there is new ownership here but they have a serious issue with their dairy and bread products. A few months ago I brought home an expired yogurt that I did t notice until I got home. Since then every time I go in there I check the expiry date on the containers and the majority is expired or within a couple days of expiry. I mention it to the cashier every time and they don’t seem to be to concerned. Yesterday I picked up some bread and when I got home and opened it up it was covered with mold. Its really to bad that this place has gone down hill recently, it must be a change in ownership that killed this place.

We catered an event with their food. Delicious fantastic food with excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

This place is great!
It’s a mini supermarket that sells any kind of spice imaginable and all sorts of Mediterranean delicacies.
To my surprise they had Armenian pizza, mante (soup dumplings), and falafel.
They also carry a variety of imported cookies (the chocolate wafer manamim from Israel are yummy) and delicious canned vine leaves from Greece.
They also sell prepared meals for takeout: chicken and lamb shawarma, baklava, etc.
Definitely worth a detour.

About average for a small Middle-​Eastern grocery. They have some items you won’t find at stores that are more Arabic or Indian like the Persian ice cream. The deli and hot food selection is rather lacking in my opinion. Not a lot of choice there and we went to get lunch!
Although we didn’t end up with lunch, we did end up with some nice items like really good quality fresh dates, a package of huge Ak-​mak cracker wheels (love Ak-​mak) and really good halvah also from the case. We also bought the kids yummy Persian ice cream sandwiches.
Prices are reasonable.

Omg!!! Their food and bread is either expired or have fungus on them, handed the cashier bunch of bread with fungus last month to keep it out of the shelves and he goes «oh! Thank you»
Then there is this owner who doesn’t speak English mistreated my 71 years old mom and when I went in as a regular customer for going on 2 years now I was told «my mom didn’t had the right attitude»
You keep your expired grocery, and we take our money, business, and our attitude somewhere else.
Problem solved.

I always buy beef and chicken from this place, it’s the best in the area, I don’t like the lamb, I think it not tasty as the beef, other stuff are just fine, I recommend it.

They have my favorite Persian ice cream and my favorite Lebanese halvah (both equally very hard to find) it’s a WIN!!!

Awesome small market featuring Middle Eastern grocery items. Prices are reasonable and they have a decent sized parking lot. They have Halal meats, including goat, veal, sheep, and interesting cuts, organ meats, liver. Check out my photo of the lamb testicles! Where else are you going to find those things here in the ‘burbs?!
Folks working here are very friendly and helpful, although the gentlemen behind the counter don’t speak English well. I think they are Spanish speakers. They did understand me and custom-​ground some veal and mixed it with some sheep fat for kabobs. It was $ 3.99/lb. They don’t have the pre-​made kabobs for some reason, but they may be coming back in a few months.
They have a vast array of ground spices, most of them under $ 2. There is a basic selection of fruits and veggies, stuff like potatoes, onions, parsley. I bought some very fresh looking broccoli and celery. However, not all of their produce is fresh — some of the apples were quite wrinkled and soft. There’s a stand with bulk nuts — they looked really good and prices were great. They also have quite a selection of teas and dried goods, like lentils of all sorts of colors, split peas, basmati rice, etc. Don’t forget to pick up some rose water ice cream with the crunchy noodles!
The deli display in front has olives (I bought some Kalamata olives) and saffron. There’s a display box on the counter with what looks like home-​made Turkish Delight.
I bought a huge basketful of stuff and it was only $ 20. They do take credit cards. I’m definitely coming back when the craving for Persian food hits again.
