He is really nice and very friendly and takes pride of his oven and baking. If you want to have traditional Lebanese pies look no further! This is the place to go!

You can find specialty items here at much more affordable prices than the bigger supermarkets like HEB, Whole Foods, Sprouts, etc. They also have a bakery in the back with fresh brick oven pies. We got the Zaatar and Italian pies. The Zaatar was so flavorful, and the naan bread was bubbly and soft. It is conveniently located near UTSA and has several international food trucks parked in the lot outside. Do be sure to check expiration dates though, because i was going to grab a soda from the refrigerator and it was expired!

I really enjoy supporting family-owned local businesses, and this place is one of those spots that…read moredeserves encouragement. It's a combination restaurant in the front and small market at the back, which gives it a warm, community feel. From the outside, the building looks a bit run down, so if you're coming purely for ambiance, just know the real highlight here is the food and the service. If you're looking for delicious Afghan comfort food, you should definitely give their Qabuli Palau a try - or order it for takeout. The Qabuli Palau was excellent. The shank meat was so tender it practically fell off the bone - flavorful and hearty. Service was warm and welcoming. You can tell it's family-run, and that personal touch really shows. There is a restroom available for customers (I didn't personally use it, so I can't comment on that). The space overall could use a little facelift, but the food makes it worth the visit. My total came out to $36.51 for 2 dishes, a hot tea, and a small chocolate bar. After reviewing the itemized receipt (with San Antonio sales tax at 8.25%), the math didn't quite line up with the posted prices. One small piece of constructive feedback: the menu pricing appears to be outdated, and it might be helpful for the owner to update the menu or clarify pricing so it doesn't accidentally cause confusion or trouble down the road. I'm sharing this because I'd hate to see a hardworking family business run into avoidable issues. Overall, the food and hospitality were the highlights for me. Don't judge it by the exterior - just come for the Qabuli Palau and the welcoming service.

I could spend, like, a brazillian bucks here! Lol! This is…read morea fun bakery that specializes in Brazilian cuisine. They have a variety of ready-made baked goods, as well as pre-packaged and frozen goods, like sausages, pepper mixes. They don't have much produce. The best part about this place is that you can look over all the baked goods, which all look more scrumptious than the last one. They also sell Brazil coffee. They have these peanut rolls that go so well with Brazil coffee. The staff seem to be the owners, and they seem super nice, ready to answer all our questions about Brazil. I wish I spoke Portugese, but they speak English. It's fun that there's a place that represents Brazil without pushing a bunch of meats.

It is not a big store just the essentials with some beauty stuff and clothing. They have freezers with ready to cook food The main highlight is they have actual food and snacks and baked goodies! Finally San Antonio has an actual Brazilian place you can visit to eat other than the Churrascarias restaurants! I believe the owner is a chef. I got helped by a super sweet lady, the chef's friend helping her out. She turned out to be Lebanese like me! So we had a nice chat and since she is born and raised in Brazil she suggested few things for me to buy! One of them is Kebbeh... I learned something new... Brazilian make Kebbeh! Go check it out, chat with them! They are all very nice and welcoming!

A classmate…read morerecommended Pashina, and before long, the whole class wanted to check it out--and we're so glad we did. We had a wonderful time chatting and enjoying some of the cakes. I believe we tried the Napoleon, Lemon Raspberry, and Double Brownie with Cherry. My favorite was the Napoleon cake: flaky, creamy, layered, and not overly sweet. It even reminded me a bit of baklava. I'd highly recommend the Napoleon cake for a birthday or any special celebration! Parking: There's parking in front of the bakery, along the side by the street, and in the lot behind the building, so finding a spot was easy. Seating: The bakery is small and quaint, which adds to its charm, but seating is limited. There's a small table with a few chairs and a cozy little nook by the window--perfect for enjoying your treats and catching up with friends. Overall, Pashina was a delightful experience, and I'm so happy I got to try something new. I'll definitely be back to sample more of their pastries and cakes! Thank you for having us!

Turns out we stumbled into the grand finale of Hell's Kitchen: San Antonio Edition. The tofu and noodles were so burnt, I thought the container came with a side of charcoal. It looked like someone tried to stir-fry it using a flamethrower and spite. But hey--we're adventurous, so I tried to power through... until I bit into something crunchy that wasn't supposed to be crunchy. Surprise! Bonus plastic! I don't know if the chef was trying to add texture or if the kitchen equipment just gave up mid-shift, but I draw the line at feeding my 2-year-old melted Tupperware.
