Selin Food Bazaar

Very rude people. I called to ask if they had something and I just hear yelling and then someone else picks up the phone that barely speaks English and asked me «what do you want» and hangs up after I tell him I already spoke with someone.

So I’ve been coming here since October and I only came here for the produce. Recently the produce has been too expensive and the quality is not the same. Don’t know what happened but I won’t be returning.

This little hole in the wall marketplace is great. The owner I assume-​who is a short middle aged man– is always there, making sure everything is in order, and customers are served. He has a great positive attitude at all times and makes sure everything is fresh and good quality. I have to admit, the store is really small, it might feel cramped due to its size, parking is limited, and check out lines might get confusing due to it’s size. But I can assure you that you can practically find everything middle eastern that you might need at this store, and everything is fresh and clean. Store has fresh fruit and veggie varieties, deli section, milk/​yoghurt etc, canned foods, nuts and dried fruits, and some cleaning supplies as well as fresh bread and limited pastry selection but no meat/​butcher section.
I used to visit this store and shop from there several times a week, when I used to live closer to the area. It’s unfortunately out of my way now. However, I visited the store today to pick up couple things. They still have the same friendly service. They put new shelves up in the store and renovated it a bit it seems. It looks more organized now. They also have a deli area as well with good variety different kinds of meats and cheese. It’s a great neighborhood market for last minute needs and surprising seasonal international delicacies.

It is a good store with nice people working there. Although we moved out of the neighborhood but I still go there often for the grocery needs. It is small, but I always get what I need and it is fresh. I like it

If I can give this place zero stars I definitely would. My family and I have been shopping here for the past 13 years and for these past few months we’ve walked out more disappointed each and every time. It upsets me for being such a loyal customer to be treated like crap in the end. I had bought a yogurt dip and when I opened it I saw some disgusting web like moss forming inside (the date on it hadn’t expired) I took it right back and asked for my money the old grumpy man told me he would give me credit and I definitely am not planning on shopping here anymore. I asked him politely and they kept pushing me with credit once I got a little aggressive with my words they gave my money back. I forgot to add that this was the fourth time something like that has happened with their products. I hesitated leaving a review due to customer loyalty but this definitely was the final straw. The women there at the register are rude and have no customer service skills. Selin food bazaar you lost our business forever. We will definitely inform friends and family of these incidents.

I bought red cherries yesterday on June 7, 2014. The seller put them in the bag from behind the counter. I brought them straight home and saw that they were ALL spoiled. The cherries went straight to the trash can. This is not a good business practice. I will never buy anything from this store again.

Love this store! Fresh delicious deli and produce products! Management is always helpful and super nice. Every time I go in people are nice and super helpful, really don’t know what one of these girls is talking about but my experience is always pleasant.

I have mixed experiences in this store. The store is very small and old and not very clean. Some staff members are polite and some are not. I sometimes have to go there if I want a Persian grocery that is not found in American stores.

Very small but the fruits and veggies are fresh! So is the bread! A lil pricey from what you can get else where but the taste of everything is GREaT! Check it out.
Btw if your a mother who goes everywhere with a damn stroller I wouldn’t recommend u takin ur stroller in this. To damn packed!

Great go to spot if you are looking for quick in and out transaction as opposed to doing your regular weekly shopping. Now this place is tiny and at certain times gets very crowded so don’t get intimidated.
Produce:
Their produce seems to be mostly fresh as they have such a high turnover and they seem to get deliveries on a daily basis.
Breads/​Baked Goods:
As far as bread, if you manage to get there by 5 o’clock, then your good, otherwise they always run out of daily fresh bread, however, I would stay away from the baked goods, as I have experienced, more than once, that they stay on the shelves for days, so its kind of a lottery.
Cold Cuts/​Cheeses:
I would recommend getting the stuff that are sold the most, for freshness reasons, including the Mikaelian mortadella, Russian ham, and smoked turkey as well as the Valbreso cheese. The other stuff are kinda questionable as Armenians only tend to eat the above exclusively.
Staff:
The staff can be a hit or miss especially for people who don’t speak Armenian, but any «weird» vibes coming from them are likely due to a language barrier rather than rudeness. If you are looking for deli items, make sure to let the cashiers know as there are no numbers or anything and before you know it, about 5 – 6 Armenian seniors or housewives would cut right int front of you.
Prices:
Kind of on the higher side due to «convenience». There is no doubt that you can save at least 15−20% by going to the big Armenian markets (Super King or Golden Farms), but unless you are going to do $ 100 worth of shopping, this place is a good alternative for picking up a couple of things in lieu of saving time.

It’s a great Armenian and Persian market. The people are very friendly and helpful and the line moves fast

Great Armenian/​Persian Market…
They have various armenian/​persion premade & frozen foods that you can get and cook for dinner. AMAZING REAL TASTES of Middle Eastern Culture. They are quite small inside, but very popular and well known with the Middle Eastern Culture.
They have fresh fruits, dry fruits, frozen foods, (all kind of TEA’s) and much more.
The parking is not all that great since their location is quite on the corner of a shopping plaza… surrounded by other stores around. They do get really busy, but the QUICK TIP I mentioned was amazing! I love it and will deff. recommend everyone to buy! Better than going to a restaurant.
B+
