I was first introduced to Adonis when I was living in Toronto, so was happy to see they came to…read moreOttawa. Adonis sells mostly Middle Eastern food products. I love their baked goods, especially their meat pies and desserts. They have a lot of different types of baklava. I like their prepared foods too. They have lots of cooked meats with rice. The place is big. It's a fun place to shop. Service is friendly, but my son gave me a gift card and it was a big hassle to use it. They have to call the manager to process the gift card. The manager needs to use a special machine and apparently their Wi-Fi is spotty so the machine wasn't working properly and it took so long to finish the transaction. At least they apologized, but I've told my son not to buy me gift cards at Adonis again.

Verdict: 4 stars…read moreout of 5 for: My review of 4 stars is for: - the friendly & helpful front staff - variety of goods: cheeses, deli meats, fresh pasta, frozen items, fresh meat - spacious place & cleanliness BUT, only 3 stars for the $6.59 sandwich (pre-tax) because: - though there was plenty of that fresh bread, the deli meat was not generous enough for this deli fan (for the #1 mild option, my sandwich came with thinly sliced mortadella & salami + lettuce , tomatoes , plain mustard (my choice) & cheese (not enough to cover the sandwich ), and the olives, if you want 'em and I wanted 'em, they are extra (at other Italian sandwich places in the city, it comes free as a topping option); therefore, this is an ok sandwich; I definitely had better. - Will come back to the store though because it is in the neighborhood, has the variety am looking for, clean, and again, friendly front staff. Ciao for now!

TL;DR/The Short Version: Small Pakistani, Indian and…read moreMediterranean market in Orleans. Good selection of groceries and has samosas and Indian sweets. The Long Version: This small grocery store in Orleans markets itself as a Pakistani, Indian and Mediterranean market. It just opened up in August 2025 where Istanbul Food Mart used to be on Des Epinettes. I didn't even know the Istanbul Food Mart closed, but my brother who lives in the area told me about it. And when I drove by I saw a sign with a picture of samosas and knew I had to check it out, lol. My mom loves samosas, so when I came to visit her (she also lives near the store) I asked her if she wanted to check out the store together, and of course she was game. They did indeed have samosas. The big regular type and the smaller ones made with phyllo pastry. The big ones were vegetarian and $1.50 each. The smaller ones were chicken and $0.75 each. We got a big one and 3 small ones. They also had Indian sweets such as Barfi, Ladoo, Jelebi, Gulab Jamun and Rasgulla, sold by the weight. I don't know all the names but we ended up getting 4 different types to try. You can see my photo. The store has lots of spices, sauces and mixes. As well as imported drinks and snacks (my favourite, lol). The store is neatly organized. There's also an area at the front with tables and chairs where you can sit to enjoy some food or drink. We had the chance to speak with Ali himself and he was very friendly and welcoming. He told us his plans to expand their menu. They will be selling shawarma. He's also thinking of items like samosa chaat. And maybe some fusion poutine like curry poutine, and likely regular poutine too, lol. I think if they expanded their menu, their eat-in area would be a great place to have a snack or meal. It's by the front, which is all windows, so feels like you're in a solarium. The space is very lovely, and surprisingly so since it's inside a grocery store, lol. I liked how Ali was very genuine. When my mom asked if they will be selling big meat samosas, he said she's the third person to ask him that, so they will likely do so in the future. When I asked him if they will be selling baked samosas, he said I'm the only person who's ever asked that and he thinks baked samosas will likely not sell. Lol. I appreciate honesty! And I get it, you need to sell what people will buy ;) (As an aside, my mom said to me, "Jennifer, people want to eat deep-fried delicious things, not baked healthy alternatives like you do!") Fair! Haha. Ali also told us when his sign at the corner advertising samosas was handwritten no one came in looking for samosas but after he got a sign with a picture of samosas on it people started coming in asking for samosas, lol. The samosas were delicious. The big vegetarian one was filled with potatoes, peas and spices. It was spicy! Spicier than most samosas I've had and I loved it. The flavour was also unique. It was more complex and interesting than other samosas I've had. The small samosas were also good, but pale in comparison to the big one in flavour. My parents enjoyed the Indian sweets. They were too sweet for my tastes, but I already knew this because most desserts are too sweet for my liking, lol. The one with a carrot halwa base was the least sweet and the most enjoyable to me. Anyway, I'm really excited to see how this store evolves. I'll be stopping by again with my mom to try their new items. It's in a little plaza so there's free parking in the shared parking lot with other businesses in the plaza. Review #157 (2025)

Huge supermarket with lots of African foods. I was hoping to get some prepared foods, but when I…read morewent on a Wednesday afternoon, their prepared foods counter was empty. Nonetheless, I was impressed by their selection of African ingredients. They have produce, refrigerated foods, frozen items, and a butcher at the back. They sell beauty products like hair care and skin care as well. And purses and other accessories. Prices were ok. Some items like TinNel's beef patties were $14.99 for a box of 10 while they are only $10.99 at big box supermarkets. However, they had Tastees Patties, which are harder to find here in Ottawa. They do have many products that are not available at big box grocery stores. Staff were pleasant. There's free parking in the parking lot in front of the store.
