I was in the neighborhood and stopped off to pick up some goodies. They have the giant fresh baked bread which was very good. Check out their kebabs as well. Apparently, they are only available on Saturdays after 1! I have to go back. read more

Don't miss the fresh baked Btead from this place! I was there this Sunday to get some. This bread tastes phenomnal with Feta Cheese and Eggs. The bread is crisp and delicious. We freeze the left overs which tastes good after toastig. But the experience of the fresh baked bread is priceless. Try to get there by 11 am before the bread gets packed (2 per bag) into plastic bags which makes them softer. read more

Anwar Bazaar - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

This store is HARAM!! They steal peoples money. Stay away from this store, they over charge people. I purchased this halawa about 2 days ago. And I was surprised when I see my charge in my CC. I bought halawa and btl of water and they charged me for $23!!! It clearly says on the top of the container that halawa was only $5.99. Never again purchasing from this store. Never offered a receipt. Check the other comments on this store and they experience the same thing. I called today to tell them that they doing wrong. The boss doesn't wanna talk to me. I even told them it's haram to steal peoples money. Stay away from this store! read more

Omg you have got to go there for the freshly baked bread. You can watch them baking it in the back and you get it right out of the oven! Then order some kebobs and they'll grill them for you. Then top it off with some extremely fresh feta cheese and again OMG! Then you go and have one great meal. So good! Customer service is great...so friendly and helpful although a bit rushed at times but that's only because it gets pretty busy in there at times. Especially on the weekends. read more

Worst customer service. The store owner told me are making fresh bread until 2pm. I was there at 12pm but to my surprise i was told no more baking fresh bread and were asking me to buy bread that is hot placed in plastic bags. They really need to work on their service. I was driving very long distance. I was asked to come back tomorrow. What a service:( will not go back. The store was not clean either and smell terrible even though they had store door open. I would say do not shop here read more

Great service and nice customer service. They have an amazing Afghan/Iranian bread . Nan sangak.

I'm purchasing about $ 200 from this store almost every two weeks. I have been a customer of the Anwar Bazar for about two years and they know me. Many times I charged two times for one item, I always checked my receipt front of door and asked him to correct it. On Sep 10, I purchased meat, Dry figs, Couple of packages of tea, almost $150, also I bought two packs of Afghan sweets. I looked at the receipt and not extra charge then threw it in the trash near the parking lot. I got home I opened one of the Afghan cookies and there was black mold on the cookies and the second package was white spots with a rotten smell. Next day on Sep 11, I went to store to show them what I find between the cookies.The owner said you bought these a long time ago !!! I showed the meat's plastic that had a date that belonged to yesterday. But he said "you bought two new and fresh yesterday, but these two were old at your home and you return the moldy cookies you had before !!! " In my opinion, this can be due to a person's lack of culture. He incriminated me for what I did not do. If I had cookies at home why I purchased again!! I told him every month I expended more than $400 in your store do you think I'm hungry for $10. if I return it because I want to show you it's summer and your store is warm to keep fresh breads and cookies or fresh dates out of fridge or turn of your air conditioner to reduce your cost,,, His behavior is so bad , impolite, dishonest, and rude. I never back to this store, I prefer to give my business to international bazaar because they have more value for their customer also everything is fresh. For sure I will share my experience with others. read more

For the first time I ordered their Kabob , I swear it got my whole family sick . Like food poisoning! Be careful with their cooked meats or meats in general. read more

This is only place I goto to buy goat meat or lamb. It's Amazingly fresh and wonderful in flavor . My hubby likes the fresh bread . It a bit sparse in grocery offerings but I always find some new exotic Middle Eastern thing whenever I go. I gave this place 4 stars mostly for its fresh meat and bakery items. read more

Anwar Bazaar & Bakery is of the mid east/Afghan genre. small store with produce, halal meats, groceries, snacks, baked bread, etc. unsure of pricing, just looking for eats eats: "date" bar dessert (2.99) -sweet tasty dates smashed into a "bar" with filling within figuring out how to eat can be spared on bread/toast crumbs: -saw lady with sheets of afghan bread leaving stor sheet looked 1foot by 3 foot. (looked liked oversized naan. -friendly service and explanations. read more

Delicious, freshly made Afghan bread!! I can only vouch for the bread at this bakery because that's all I tried but it was so good that I will definitely be back for more! I only wish they expanded their bread making to other varieties, but for now this will do. Highly recommend coming here if you want fresh Afghan bread! read more

Oh Anwar, Anwar. How lovely is thine bread. Poem over. I usually get my fresh bread from another shop nearby and luckily they were closed one day so I discovered Anwar! Great, warm, delicious Barbari bread (like afghan bread but more doughy for those who don't know). Great selection of dates too. I loved this experience and will definitely be going back for more goodies in the near future. read more

My place to buy middle eastern groceries and goat meat .. clean and quick .. happy to have found it

This place was good uuuuuntil I called to ask about their kabobs. The guy on the phone just kept asking who I am and he was crazy rude. I told him I'm a customer and I had a question. He just kept yelling but who are you and other strange stuff. Weirdo. read more

The worst place I ever had to get, the owner was so rude to me and wanted to hit and push me, I wanted to call the police because I really scared of them, I never go to this place again never for ever, I swear to God!!! read more

Anwar Bazaar - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING HERE! - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

I love this place for halal meat poultry and meat. I also like their mediterranean grocery options. Staff is very nice and friendly!

The store is small, but they have a wide verity of items. I love the fresh fruits and vegetables. The halal meat section isn't as elaborate as the International Market down the street, but the prices are more reasonable and they have halal boneless skinless chicken thighs. They also make and sell fresh Afghan bread. This place is definitely worth checking out. read more

A bit pricey. But y'know what? Higher cost of living and import taxes. A dear friend of mine had a birthday and so we scooped up some lamb, candies, cookies, tea, and fruit leather. Lamb: perfect cut of lamb, clearly fresh. We made it in the Persian style and it was totally nomworthy. Candies: also new enough to not taste old to me, exactly as advertised, and actually pretty affordable. Cookies: I can't say enough good things about the chickpea cookies or cardamom rice cookies. Both perfect for dipping in tea. Tea: a very drinkable Persian black with an Assam base. Clear and slightly floral, with strong but not overpowering cardamom flavor. I'll definitely be getting more for myself. Fruit leather: I'm (weirdly?) a connoisseur of fruit leather. The pomegranate was exemplary, wildly exceeding my expectations. I ate it in tiny pieces and still got through all of it in two days. Tangy without being overwhelming, balanced sweetness with a lovely slight saltiness. Overall, I haven't tried the produce, but generally the selection is quite solid and I had no issues with music, pricing, or expiry dates. And for the record, there wasn't any music playing but if it had been a muezzin rocking on out, it's a halal market with imported middle eastern stuff. Wtf you want the stuff but the rest of the culture offends you? Deal with it. read more

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they are offering the best BBQ ever with great price !!! My goodness sooo yummy. Also it seems they have a new meat section . The meat is so fresh and super good price . The new meat section owner is a very professional person and he cuts and wrap the meat for me with a lot of care. My favorite store!!! read more

This review is mainly for the bread which is HEAVENLY. We brought a bunch to take home! Also, the service is very nice as the owner(?) or the person at the cash register gave us a sample of the cookies he had at the front. Nice place, will TOTALLY be back for the bread read more

Thief, Cheater pay close attention while paying. Otherwise you will get overcharged. Everything in the stores either expired or rotten.

This is a small family owned business by an authentic middle eastern family. I value supporting family businesses and will definitely be back. The customer service here was wonderful and the gentleman helped me find the sweet pastries I was looking for. read more

They have one of the best fresh "barbari" breads I have ever had. I come here at least twice a week for the bread and most other small grocery items, including "sharbate albalu" sour cherry syrup. When we visit my in-laws, I always buy 2 extra bags of bread to take with us. Bakery opens at 9 and usually closes at 3. If you call ahead and reserve your bread, you will never wait in line or miss out on fresh bread. read more

This market always has fresh and new items and great prices. I really like all the appliances and dishes. Fresh bread daily too.

We are very happy with the service and catering food we ordered. We had a big party on Aug 3rd and the food was amazing. They delivered the food as scheduled and even helped with the setup. We are very happy to recommend this place. 5 stars well deserved!!!! read more

Please save your self and your money. Don't buy any thing there. I bought a rice cooker there. Although the owner agrees this product is defected, therefore very dangerous to use, he refuse to return my money or give a store credit. Total scam... please protect and save your self from them ....The worst experience... read more

I only come here for one thing and one thing only, their freshly baked bread. They bake it fresh every day and I highly recommend going in at noon just to get the best of the batch. They also have a good selection of meat and other stuff but I love the bread they make. read more

Best afghan bread in town! Get your's hot out of the oven! Excellent store for Mediterranean and middle eastern treats! Great pistachios imported! Yum! read more

Great place to get a freshly baked bread. Also the meat market is good. Meanwhile you can do some grocery shopping.

The bread have is really fresh...Sometime they have good fruits and other middle Eastern food products; however, the management is terrible! He owner is cheap and close-minded. Many customers complained that he plays only Muslim prayers (which is not the customers preference) and that he should change is to lively melodies; however, he didn't care at all. I think he should care more about the customers! read more
