    Lamb shwarma (small)
    Tovan T.

    Aljibani Halal Market is a gem! Grabbed a quick lamb shwarma sandwich from their counter today...and it was go very good! I strolled in to find multiple people buying their whole spiced rotisserie chicken. That's a good sign to me if people are buying whole chickens at lunch. The menu is pretty simple and the prepared foods counter is right next to the butcher counter. Sandwiches, whole plates, biryani, stews, and salads. The sandwiches come in lamb, beef and chicken. It's only $1 more for lamb. You get pita that's split open and then stuffed generously with tender lamb, cucumber yoghurt, and veggies for $7.99. I got a small and it was the perfect amount of food. The hot lamb is delicately spiced so the lamb-y aroma is still noticeable. The cucumber yoghurt and veggies are super cold (but flavorful) to provide a sharp contrast in textures and temperature to the lamb. The folks here are welcoming, but also very efficient. That shwarma sandwich was put together within a couple of minutes. There are tables outside the grocery store if you'd like to stay and eat, however there were a group of friends gathered today. I just went back to the office since I was short on time. Will definitely be back!

    This review is for their roasted chicken ! It's $7.99 for a roasted chicken and it can't be beat. It's delicious Not salty or dry. The cashier is friendly. I love to order their roasted chicken for lunch and dinner and my family loves it ! They also sell Pita bread to go along with the chicken. I used to go to smart n final for the roasted chicken, but I found they were making it it too salty. If your looking for a roast chicken be sure to call into reserve yours. Closed on Mondays

    I came in looking for rose oil but instead found some rose water for my homemade shampoo. Service was great. Fresh halal meat and weekly lamb and goat meat too. Small mom and pop shop. I met the owner and he was so kind and sweet to me.

    I found this place through restaurant.com and decided to give this place a try. (FYI they do not accept the restaurant.com certificate). This is actually a small halal market with a hot foods section on one side of the store. They have a butcher counter with fresh meats, a produce section and dry goods. It's a good place to get your halal groceries and some interesting looking desserts. I'm not familiar with middle eastern sweets, so I think I'll be back to pick up more to try. I decided to try everything they had in stock, so I purchased a rotisserie chicken, the chicken curry, chicken shawarma, lamb shawarma, and chicken biryani. They also offer falafel but ran out when I was there. Combos come with your choice of 2 sides. I got the chicken salad, tzatziki, hummus and tomato cucumber salad. The hummus tastes fresh and the tzatziki was nice with my pitas. Prices are affordable and portions are good sized. *Rotisserie chicken - 5/5. Well seasoned and delicious! This seems to be a popular item as the other people that came in after me wanted to buy it too, and one lady left because they ran out for the day. *Chicken shawarma - 4/5. Chunks of chicken on a bed of rice, but could use more seasoning. *Lamb shawarma - 4/5. My family enjoyed this but though it could use more seasoning. *Chicken Biryani - 3/5. Spicy but lacked flavor. Also watch for bones, there are a lot of them in this dish. Chicken was also dry. *Chicken Curry - 3/5. Like the biryani, the chicken was spicy, but didn't really have flavor and was also dry. I also picked up some pita from the shelf (locally made in Walnut!) and loved those. Fluffy and chewy - the way I like my pita! The highlight of the meal was the rotisserie chicken. Everything else was mediocre and I would only purchase the shawarma plates again. Service was excellent, the cashier was super friendly and the man serving at the food counter was nice too. He was extremely patient with me even though he had to rush to the airport to pick up relatives!

    Lamb Shank Combo Plate
    Jared F.

    My overall experience here was excellent, and I will be returning! This local meat market has a unique selection of items and a fantastic Mediterranean-style restaurant. The man serving the food is exceptionally kind and funny. He even gave me an extra side out of generosity. Supporting small businesses is the way to go. If you want Mediterranean food, you have to try this place. ~Order~ Lamb Shank Combo Plate: Where do I BEGIN? The lamb shank fell straight off the bone and was amazingggggg. Every Mediterranean spot I go to cooks lamb terribly, but that is not the case here. The other sides are fun and delicious as well. I practically ate a cup of their tzatziki. Also, according to the owner, eating their olives helps you live a thousand years! To top it all off, it was $14 bucks. Most Mediterranean spots will charge $20 for a tiny lamb kabob! This dish is a must-try.

    Chicken Biryani Plate
    Nathan P.

    Really disappointed with the food I got from here today. I really want to try and support local businesses more during this time but when it comes to reviewing it, at the end of the day, I have to be honest. Maybe my expectations were too high but I was thinking that my Chicken Biryani would be made to order. As soon as I ordered, I saw right away the product that I would be getting. The rice was set on a platter. There were two versions a spicy and non spicy. I decided to get half and half. The problem was that it was just sitting out for who knows how long. I saw that it looked lowkey crusty and stuck together it was and knew it wasn't fresh. This is also not proper food handling and is dangerous in general because it is not kept at the right temperature to prevent bacterial growth, but especially now with COVID. You can't just have food sitting out like that with no cover. Even though it is behind a glass guard, there is nothing protecting it from the employees. I can only assume their masks aren't on the entire time they work. Immediately after I paid and got to the car, I checked to see if it was warm at all and of course it wasn't. I touched it and it was ice cold. I originally intended to eat it right away for lunch, but in order to eat it I had to drive home and blast it in the microwave. Hoping there wasn't any bugs, bacteria, or anything else, I decided to just eat it. It was $7.99 and the prices keep going up so the menu pictures on Yelp aren't updated. There was barely any chicken... the chicken that was in the dish were shriveled up and dry. I didn't ask for chicken jerky. Come on... with a meat counter/market at your disposable, I expected it to be fresh. The flavor and spices of the rice in general weren't bad. But overall, the dish was clearly not fresh. I imagine it would be really good if it was made to order but it wasn't. This pandemic is not an excuse to be lazy and potentially put customers at risk for the virus or food poisoning with dangerous food handling practices. It's not like I got this for free, I had to pay for it. Originally hoped to write a positive review but the quality leaves me to believe that they have given up and don't care anymore.

    Shawarma chicken & beef plate which came with two sides (cucumber salad, hummus + 1 scoop of garlic sauce)
    Ed T.

    Never knew this place existed until I randomly stumbled on it through Yelp. This place is also inside a small market. I got the Shawarma chicken & beef plate which came with two sides (cucumber salad, hummus + 1 scoop of garlic sauce). The sides you were able to choose but I let the person decide for me. Food was interesting, something different from what you get around here. If I were to come here again, I would probably not get the hummus and instead get a second portion of cucumber salad.

Vegetable so fresh. They always have a fresh pita for only $1.50. When family don't want to cooked & craving for lamb stew with cucumber salad; cucumber yogurt with pita bread. I just go directly to Aljibani Market . Soooo Good & delicious selection. There chicken & falafel is good too! And when you arrive you are greeted by Ahmed who is always at the front & his the cashier too! He always so friendly and helpful & at the hot food serving the customer is his uncle Mahmud. Will always come back when craving for all these delicious menu. By the way due to inflation the prices on the menu broad will change by next week I was informed by Mahmud. Still worth every penny spent. Thank you again Ahmed & Mahmud for always giving "Excellent Service ", from your long time satisfied customer

    I purchased 10 lb tritip and 4.5 lb of it was just fat. I'm not satisfied with the purchase.

    They're so pretty.

    For Thanksgiving this year, our family gathering was much smaller - we all know why. So, we adapted and decided to cook less traditional foods and reduce the stress of cooking a big meal. Instead of (boring) turkey, I wanted to order rotisserie chicken from a local spot. It was between a Juan Pollo or this halal market I've never heard of a city away. You guessed it - I went with the halal market with promising reviews and the enticing Yelp photos. Aljibani Halal Market chicken is bombbb. At $7 a bird, the value was great. I preordered a day before for 2 chickies and the man who picked up the phone was friendly, even though they were close to being at capacity. So patient, thorough and slightly salesy, which I did not mind. I respect the hustle. Picked up the chickens day of Thanksgiving between 3-4PM window as he promised. It was super hot, juicy and deliciousssss. My family agreed - it was a hit and the garlic sauce was also a hit. Yeah, baby don't forget to ask for that garlic sauce. Best decision I've made this whole year so far. Will 100% be ordering from them again next year for Thanksgiving. Work smarter, not harder, folks.

    Rotisserie Chicken Whole 6.99$. Amazing & Fresh! Saved some for meal prep.

I had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner Ben who personally took my order. We agreed upon a date and time two weeks out since I was going to be out of town for the 4th of July week. They called while I was out of town to confirm the date and time (between 10-11 am) which was great! When I arrived to the store with my son around 11:15 because of the heavy traffic on 91W I went to the counter and was told by a young female that I needed to go to the pay counter. She was curt and not helpful. There was only three people ahead of me so no problem. But the elder gentleman in front of me, who was being helped by the young man who would eventually help me, took an exceptionally long time with his order. I'm just here to pay and pick up. No problem, I'll be patient and keep waiting. Two other costumers are helped by the female counter person and finally the elder customer leaves with his order and I'm next. The young male counter person then waits for me to initiate the conversation and doesn't greet me with a smile or hello or how can I help. I brush it off. I tell him I'm here to pick up my order, a whole pig and give him my last name. He fumbles around a few seconds and then asks how to spell my name and eventually finds my ticket order and asks what time. The time is written at the top of the ticket he failed to notice. I pay for the order. He mutters someone will be out with my order and disappears. No thank you, no attentiveness like he gave the older gentleman in front of me. Again, I've been in my car with my son for over two hours from San Diego in traffic and this fella couldn't give me five minutes of courtesy. I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting while others eventually come into the store and are being helped and leaving. The older female worker at the pay counter is still there helping customers while the younger female at the deli counter is now apparently on a break and making herself lunch. She stops momentarily when a customer comes in for deli service. I'm still waiting by the counter to make sure I'm at least acknowledged but I don't see the young male counter worker who apparently left for lunch since it's now noon. The older female worker can probably see on my face that I'm not happy and says to me he's working on my order. He? Who's he? I am just here to pay and pick order between 10-11. How much time and trouble could it be to put this order together which was made two weeks prior? A different gentlemen finally arrives with three boxes and two large paper bags that comprise my order. On the way out the older female worker says goodbye and was very courteous. At this point I'm pretty upset because this is not a large haul and this order could've easily been second and not 45 minutes! I arrive home after the two hour drive back home to SD and looking forward to the meat, especially the sausages and putting it into the freezer which I cleared out in preparation for the meat. My older son is home to help. As we are sorting and placing the meat I notice that there are no sausages. It's just sausage meat but no links. I guess it's my fault for assuming and not specifying sausage links on at peat some of the order. It was a huge letdown. I had array went out to purchase rolls and buns for a bbq this weekend and to have friends and family over. Oh well. You live and you learn. At least the bacon was great.

It tasted no different than the $12 version. Overall, we probably won't be back.

After browsing and checking on the pricing. The pricing appeared to be reasonable, slightly expensive. However, that's to be expected. For one, the quality of the Meat. And yes, the economy. Outrageous increase in the cost of Meat. So unfortunate. On my way out, a had great conversation with Alex. His passion and warm personality really set the ambiance. Although, I did not make a purchase, I plan to on my next visit. So yes, I highly recommend to stop in. Again, to support the local and historic community. Thank You for reading

    Great small butcher shop to get some quality meat! We are big grass fed customers and this place…read morehas got them. Tons of selection for meats and smaller items, which I appreciate it. We ended up buying some heart and liver that costs around $10 together. Affordable and competitive pricing for meats and smaller shelf items as well. The layout of the store is great with an awesome logo and just a professional feel to the place while having a butcher shop feel to it. Andrew was very kind and hospitable in helping us find what we need. Tons of parking outside may need to park on street during busier hours. They had a Wagyu steak which was cool to see. Overall, great meat shop in Claremont!
