Few days ago, I bought two packages of this cheese.
Today I opened one and immediately noticed something was off—the texture was broken down and watery and didn't look normal at all. I then opened the second package and found that it was perfectly fine and had a firm, natural texture. This makes me think the first one was not properly stored at the store. My money went to waste, and I was really disappointed. Since the store is far from me, I can't easily go back to return it either.
Great spot for some Turkish cuisine. Prices for the grocery are a bit over priced but the quality of the fresh food is quite good. Make sure to join the loyalty program for some discounts! All the baked goods are quite tasty! I wish they served coffee!
I am very disappointed by the quality of meat I received today from the butcher. The meat is usually good quality and service and friendliness, superb. However, today when arrived, I asked if they had beef kidney and was shown some already prepackaged for $10+. Because it was a small amount, and I indeeded to do stew for my husband, I asked if there was more. The butcher then went in the back and got what seemed like a fresh kidney from the cow he was butchering. I bought both, but when I got home to cook some stew for my husband, the one that was already prepackaged when I arrived, had a foul smell when opened and looked like it was rotting. I dumped that immediately in the trash, took a picture and let my husband know, his kidney stew was shortened today. The fresh one was fine though and I am glad I asked for more. Very disappointed, I thought halal meat shops had higher standard than the average meat shop but based on today's product, that is not the case. It seems money is more valuable than providing quality food.
They have a wide variety of unique products that aren’t easily found at other stores. Also the quality is really great. The other day I bought 2 grams of saffron from here and it was packaged beautifully and the saffron was the best that I’ve ever tried. Will keep returning!
We tried the chicken gyro and falafel sandwiches at Bereket, and both were fresh and delicious.
The simit and tahini bread we picked up were also wonderfully fresh.
Their grocery section is a hidden gem, offering a wide variety of Turkish groceries, fresh meats, snacks, bakery cookies, baklava, and other delightful sweets. I’m especially excited to try the red pepper paste I bought.
A great spot for authentic Turkish food and groceries, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
