    I'm not the average customer at Al-Aqsa. Up until a couple months ago I had no reason to drive all the way to Temple Terrace for anything. Well, the hunt for halal meat led me here, and now I'm here weekly. The owner speaks minimal English, and if you call and ask a question, it's like trying to play charades without the visible gestures. If you (or whoever you're going with) knows Arabic, you can have just about anything answered for you. The manthing was able to ask how to make mansaf, and was given a full recipe/tutorial including pulling specific ingredients, but forgot how once we left. Ah well. The other key employee here is the butcher. He's there 6 days a week (11am to 7pm I believe) and will do just about anything for you, providing he understands what you want exactly. I tried for top sirloin and got a shrug from him. We've had all kinds of weird things cut up or packaged for us (albeit slowly because this guy takes his time) - lamb legs cut into thin pieces, liver thinly sliced, a couple trips into the cooler to find better-looking chickens... We found if the meat was packaged by the butcher but without a sticker (it gets weighed at the checkout) that the price ended up cheaper than if we pulled it pre-marked from the cooler. Not sure how that one works out. It seems like they have the best meat selection on Thursdays and it dwindles down in the days after. They carry some assortment of lamb, beef, chicken, and goat. Chicken comes in whole, pieces, and breasts. Beef and lamb comes in either some weird boned variety, ground, and sometimes steaks and stewing meat. Goat, well, I don't pay much attention to, but a lot of things are marked as goat/lamb. Around Easter we were able to pick up a halal frozen turkey too. Besides the meat (it's obvious why we come here, right?), they have a wall of spices, both prepackaged and "serve yourself" that we've had good luck with. They have staples like pita, dried lentils and beans, teas, drinks, honey, and a variety of sweets and snacks. There's also a section of coolers with dairy products like labneh and cheeses, an aisle of soaps and hookah/shisha stuff, and a corner with pots and tea sets. If you have no idea what most of the stuff is, it's worth dragging someone who does. I will say that some of the stuff there is more expensive than Cedar Market (which is also closer to home), so we've made a point to stop there for some things instead. The strange looks from conservative women shopping there never get old, but really guys, it's Florida and it's a million degrees outside!
