I love coming here to buy my Halal meat. The meat is always freshly packed and it’s nice to see products from other countries that I can try particularly the Turkish products. They also have nice Turkish desserts. I also love the fact that they are open 24 hours. That’s amazing. Yeah This is very helpful for anyone. Who needs to buy late night groceries. They have fruits, vegetables, snacks, juice, soda, water, fresh meat, cheese, milk, pretty much everything that you need. The ribeye cut I buy always cooks nice and juicy too. Here are lamb chops that I made with Turkish rice both products purchased from here. I also got half chicken. Halal meat is the best ‼️
This review pertains specifically to the butcher section. Based on friends’ recommendations, I’ve purchased various beef steaks here over the past year. Overall, the quality has been acceptable, though prices are higher than at comparable markets.
About a month ago, I bought two T-bone steaks sealed on foam trays; they didn’t seem particularly fresh but were passable once cooked. Two days ago, I purchased a $25 ribeye. I began cooking it within an hour and immediately noticed an off odor. I proceeded anyway, hoping it was still fine, but the steak appeared spoiled—especially along the bone. After eating a few pieces from the opposite side, I experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning over the next two days.
I’m sharing this as a caution to other shoppers: please check freshness carefully when buying meat from this store’s butcher section.
We didn’t have problems with pricing as others experienced. One other thing I would note, some items were almost at their expiration date so be on the lookout. I don’t live around NYC, so prices felt a lot more expensive than similar markets around DMV region. They do have a nice variety.
Istanbul Grand Bazaar is my go-to spot for fresh, high-quality groceries. Their meat is always fresh and well-prepared, the produce section is full of vibrant, crisp vegetables, and the in-house bakery offers amazing baklava and pastries daily. A fantastic place for authentic Turkish and Mediterranean ingredients.
