A truly authentic Turkish store with a great variety. They even helped us find the herb for making menemen! You can find everything here, from hard-to-get ingredients to homemade desserts and even breakfast. Loved the experience, I just wish they had a location in North Houston.
Growing up using a lot of Turkish products, visiting Acacia was so nostalgic 🇹🇷. I highly recommend it for those looking for food and stuff from Turkiye. I tried their beef doner in a fresh bread made at the shop and it was amazing . Also, I tried pieces of Baklava and Tulumba and it was finished before I could take a picture, lol I found some kaymak there too both Turkish and Iraqi style . Will definitely visit them again
OMG I ate the best baklava in Houston! When the doors of the food mart opened, the aroma that hit me was insane! I didn’t bother to look at any of the products on the shelves. My nose literally led me to the back of the food mart where the bakery is.
I saw trays and trays of different kinds of baklavas in the display cases. I got greedy (as usual when it comes to sweet food) and asked for eight different kinds of baklavas. The baklavas were sold by per pounds. Luckily I brought my Turkish friend along which helped in the communication part, and I was able to get a few pieces of each kind. The baklavas weren’t too sweet, and they were so awesomely good. If I have to choose one favorite (trust me, it is tough to have one favorite only), it would have to be the cold baklavas with hazelnut or pistachios. Eat them straight out from the fridge is just aaahhhh… Diyarbakir Burma with pistachio had a good texture contrast that was so good.
I also got the rice pudding (forgot to take a pic because I gobbled it down before I remember to take a pic) which came in a small rectangle aluminum tray. The rice pudding was baked well, and it wasn’t overly sweet. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Other than sweets, the bakery sells breads too. That would be the food item l will purchase on my next visit.
Decided to stop by and try various varieties of their baklava. Significantly more expensive than the variety pack that you might find at Sam's Club or other large retailers. To my taste buds though, it's not any better. It tastes OK, but nothing special enough to justify the increased price. I won't be returning.
