Mediterranean Grocery

This store is a schmorgisborg of international treats! They have cheeses, canned food of all kinds, coffee, sweets, olive oil, veggies, bread, and even a deli! I’ve seen things at this place from the middle east all the way to Russia. I usually go there to get a specific middle-​eastern cheese that I love. It’s called Halloumi and it can be eaten as is sliced up with some tomatoes, basil, and olive oil, and it is one of the few cheeses on the planet that can be grilled! You heard right. Grilled. I highly recommend coming in here to check all this stuff out. It’s always fun to try new things! So if you’re feeling adventurous, pay this place a visit!

Incredibly rude behavior by owner to my mom when she suggested his prices were too high and that she would rather get her bone in beef somewhere else. He told her to just go get it somewhere else and walked away rudely without accommodating at all.

I usually visit this store for goat meat. They have a butcher on site and a good selection of halal meats. They have a full range of Mediterranean grocery, different kinds of pita breads, oils, spices, cheeses, spreads and what not. This time I also saw they were selling injera (Ethiopian bread). Interesting!

watch out when you shop there, lots of items are expired, if you don’t see a date then don’t buy it

very good place. been coming here for years. good meat.
They even have German chocolate

They have fresh meats, vegetables… kinda. BOY! A little goat head, maybe? They have one hell of a selection of Halal and Mediterranean staples. Be aware some items are pricey. Do some research, or you may drop some coin on ingredients that will remain in the pantry for a decade for that one-​time experiment.
My absolute love and clincher for this 38 111 anomaly… I could find fresh kidney! Offal Rules!

My folks have been going here since the 1990s. When I’m in town, my folks usually take me here to help them carry their groceries. There is an extensive selection of food items for middle eastern and south asian cooking. The main distinction between this ethnic foods grocery store and others is that they have a butcher on site. So if you have a particular cut you want, they go straight from the whole chicken (pre-​killed and pre-​gutted) to whatever cuts you want.
The place is also convenient for students since it is very close to the University of Memphis.

Sipping on a mug of hot Arabic tea this chilly, Boston morning reminded me of this place:
When I used to live in Memphis, I would drive by the Mediterranean Grocery on the way home from class. I was feeling a bit adventurous one day and decided to pop in to see what this place was all about. At first I felt a bit intimidated: immediately upon entering were about five or six guys sitting in the café area just kind of looking at me… I guess with curiosity? One of them gets up to greet me with a broad smile. I tell him that I had never been to this grocery and he proceeds to give me a tour! I ended up leaving with a can of sardines («You must try, it’s what we eat in my homeland!) and a box of Arabic ceylon tea («You must drink, it’s what we drink in my homeland!) They café does serve many Middle Eastern delights such as gyros, hummus, and baba ghanoush and various meat kabobs. And what great hospitality. I miss that place!
