So much fun to find so many products that I grew up eating. I was particularly surprised and…read moreexcited to find ice creams like vegan Tortit and Fantasia ice cream cake. A good selection of of parve dairy free chocolates as well as dairy chocolates from Europe, Rifat cookies (Anise flavored Moroccan cookies) and a variety of other vegan cookies by Bakers Tales. Lots of Pereg spices like fenugreek for Yemenite Hilba, Yemenite Hawayej for soup etc. The prices for some products were lower than the prices at a nearby similar market. Definitly highly recommend for people missing food from Israel and those who are looking for vegan/ vegetarian items, Kosher, European food or just looking to try something new. The market is organized, clean and all the expiration dates seemed great. I can't wait to stop by again for some ice-cream and treats next time I pass through Phoenix.

I like coming here to get all different kinds of Middle Eastern style breads which include pita, lavash and tanour bread. There is so many to choose from! This time also I was able to get some za'atar brioches and oh my goodness, I had these for breakfast this morning and they were delicious! I also like to get things here where I can't find elsewhere so I got some pomegranate juice, and some roasted chick pea snacks. They have quite a selection of spices here and I also picked up some roasted sesame. Lots of nuts to choose, and plenty of Middle Eastern/Arabic sweets and desserts available. They also sell hookah supplies here (not a fan - really bad for you). I hadn't been to this location in awhile and I miss that the inside restaurant is no longer open. I liked to get some of the ready made dips and sandwiches here. Bummer. Towards the back, lots of fresh sweets for sale including all kinds of baklava and there is also fresh olives for sale also! Fresh, halal meat available and also some meat that's been marinated and ready to cook. Fresh cheeses also available. I think I like the Mesa location better as I can get spinach and za'atar pies there and the fresh produce selection is better. And also you can get hummus, babaghanoush and other dips at the other location. Overall, I would say that these Baiz grocery stores are my happy place. It brings me back to a sweet and memorable time. It's worth a visit to check out all the unique items here and their pita and breads are fresh, tasty and well priced!

Thank you for offering so much to our community.

We're regulars now at this wonderful new neighborhood addition for home-cooks like us. Entering the…read moremarket it is unassuming. Look around and you'll find SO many items you didn't know you wanted- perhaps needed. House made pickled vegetables or hummus, unique fresh produce, or packaged items... Their sourcing of various Mediterranean regional products is remarkable. My wife's ground lamb dolmades are one of my favorites. Zata has Fresno brand grape leaves (TIP: season ends soon!) that are higher quality than even from our vines we grow ourselves. The (frozen) ground lamb likewise is the best we've ever tasted. Zata always also has (either frozen or) fresh, locally-baked Persian naan. It's pillowy inside and perfectly baked outside. This bread is my new favorite too. Take your time, look around and explore everything they sell. If you're curious they'll kindly share cooking tips and samples. Like us you'll become repeat customers.

I was asking him if he might ever bring in my carbonated yogurt soda that I love and usually have to go out of my way for. It's a staple I grew up on and it was always a treat in my household. He didn't even hesitate to offer to order it and pilot how it would sell. He's now had it there every time I go for the last six months and just this morning he offered to bring in the larger liter version of it off of my request. That is exceptional customer service and I'm so grateful it's been a win-win for him as well! What a wonderful business owner! They have so many amazing Mediterranean options to choose from. I just grabbed my yogurt there as well, and he shared a tip that the yogurt soda apparently helps people sleep! Pop by give them a visit! Say Elicia sent you!

In the West Valley, where the desert stretches toward the horizon, this place opens its doors and somehow makes the earth feel smaller. You walk in for a few ingredients and leave having wandered through a dozen countries without ever needing a passport. The abundance is almost overwhelming in the best possible way. An entire aisle devoted to noodles, shelves lined with teas that carry centuries of tradition, an eclectic produce section where purple sweet potatoes rest beside Asian pears, pandan leaves perfume the air, and every basket seems to hold a new story waiting to be cooked. Some of my favorite treasures are the bun bò Huế noodles, the purple sweet potatoes, crisp Asian pears, fresh pandan, and the endless array of fun drinks that always convince me to try something new. Every visit feels like a small adventure. And then there are the little surprises that make this place unforgettable: an incredible pho restaurant tucked inside, a jewelry shop sparkling quietly nearby, and families from every background filling their carts with pieces of home. What I admire most is that places like Lee Lee's do more than sell groceries--they preserve memory. They help grandparents pass recipes to grandchildren. They give immigrants a taste of familiarity. They invite curious people to discover cultures different from their own with open hands and open hearts. In a world that can feel increasingly divided, a market like this reminds us that one of the easiest ways to understand another person is to share what they eat, what they drink, and what they gather around the table. I am deeply grateful to have Lee Lee's in the West Valley. It is not just an Asian market. It is a crossroads of cultures, a celebration of tradition, and proof that sometimes the most beautiful journeys begin with a shopping cart.

Very bad news for vegetarians thinking they can come here and buy frozen mock meat products. They…read moredon't have any to sell. I spoke to the customer service guy, and he was politely vague. He said that the last brand didn't sell well and they put everything on sale to clear it out. He gave me an uncertain timeline of two weeks for a restock, but it didn't sound real. I am from out of town, and it's a two hour drive, and I came singularly for the frozen mock meat. I did walk the isles and they do have a lot of items to choose from that you will not find in a typical American supermarket, and I picked up some interesting sauces and condiments I hadn't seen before, which was good. Very, very bad was the bathroom. There was a pool of dirty water on the floor with a mop and pail. The latch on the single sit down stall was broken and I walked in on someone. The sinks are stained and dirty. The smell is bad and overwhelming. They need to clean it and wipe it down and fix the sit down stall latch. All in all, the store has a lot of asian products you will not find in supermarkets, they are comme ci, comme ça! ‍ on frozen mock meat products, and somebody really needs to clean their men's bathroom.

Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.
