Great customer service, great selection of candy. It was a very authentic experience.

All their food are expired I recommend not to come here and spend your money believe me. I will take a picture so you can see it. The cucumbers are expired the bottles I told him but he just laughed. He thought it was a joke, but I'll show you right now. All pies are expired. read more

As we were waiting for our food next door, I decided to pop on into this market as I did need some sumak and it's always fun walking into markets to discover other items. This market is focused on a lot of middle eastern items. So if you're ever in the need for spices, you can find them here like fenugreek, sumak, etc. They also had a lot of different teas, vegetables, fruit, a butcher in the back and bakery/pastry items in the front. I did get my sumak and decided to try out a different brand. Little did I know it was brand that makes sumak here in Fremont. Always good to support a local business. I didn't really take a good look at their produce nor anything much more than what I wanted which was to get sumak so I can't comment to the quality of that. Parking is shared by the kabob place so it's small like 2 spaces. You can always park on the street and walk inside. I'm sure the folks next door utilize this market for their meats and spices. Useful, if you ask me! They accept credit card though I ended up paying in cash. Small market that's convenient if you're needing specific middle eastern items and well if you're next door picking up food, it's not a bad time to just stop by to take a peek. read more

Every thing is very bad and poor quality and bad service and the owners are Afghans who have the next door Afghan restaurant which have very bad food and small portions and bad service too. This os not an Iranian store . They just use the name of Damavand . read more

The store is pretty dirty and the walls are run down and the service is bad. And the food made me have food poisoning. There are spiders too. don't like it. They should shut down their store for good read more

Terrible place with exceptionally negative service here! I would say avoid this place! bad neighborhood, with alarming dangerous cashiers. Many products have no price sticker on them. read more

Damavand Market is the typical small Middle East/Afghan market. it's packed with the essentials: halal meats. fresh afghan breads, groceries, limited fresh produce, spices, grains, sauces, spices, sweets... buys: plain toast (tostada), 30 slices (1.99) -contains little fats, sugar, sodium, carbs. just 30 calories each. unlike other baked items which are quite fatty. -flavor neutral, may satisfy snack attacks. notes: -parking spaces are few. read more

Second time to Damavand Market. The store is small, but carries lots of Middle Eastern items. I got: Sadaf special blend tea w/ cardamom flavor - box of 50 tea bags All Crust Pocket Bread Pita Bread distributed from Union City - 6 in a bag for 99c S&W garbanzo beans in a can for 90c. (Note to self: Costco sells them in a case, don't buy them here). Lord de Pastry Baklava $4.99 a box - not my favorite. To try next time: Roat "cookie bread" - left side of register Halal chicken - there's a butcher in the back Afghan sweet called "shir-para" -- a kind of cooked milk fondant with ground walnuts, pistachios and cardamom. Total $15.86. Credit cards minimum $10. Small parking lot in front, some residential street parking nearby. 37012 Towers Way (@ Thornton Ave), Fremont 510-793-2606 Hrs: 9a-8p read more

Terrible customer service. Groceries almost always have mold or fungus. When you tell the owner or cashiers, they don't care, no apologies, even get upset you tell them about it. This is Fremont, there are a ton of other markets that sell bread and halal meat. Bread at Maiwand is better, customer service at Herat Market is always great. Damavand is literally 5 minutes walking distance from my place, but I'll drive a little further to Herat because they treat customers with respect and own up to their mistakes if they ever have any. Also, Damavand doesn't follow health regulations. I've been seeing workers without masks, flossing their teeth, smoking, etc. So nasty, smh. read more

If you need to get fresh meat and Afghan bread you can try this place I like to shop from this Grocery store the Guy Mr.Yama is awesome and very friendly and happy face there prices are good. read more

I bought kulcha ( bakery) which were very old and taste was totally bad. I just garbaged. I recommend don't buy any bakery from this store.

Got what I needed but my impression wasn't great of the quality of what I purchased. I agree with another reviewer, the customer service could be way better. People that work there do not wear masks. read more

Damavand Market went completely above my expectations! I am doing ALL my grocery shopping here from now on! A friend of mind told me they had the best bread they've ever had in their life from Damavand Market, so when I was in Fremont I decided to check it out. And boy am I glad I did. This place is so quaint, it feels like a little corner market in Rome or Turkey. Everything is lined up perfectly in the shelves--and they have EVERYTHING. They have fresh kosher/halal/organic meat (deli and a butcher on hand so you can get the cuts you want and need), fresh bread that is ridiculously amazing and cheaper than a loaf of wonderbread, they have staples like pasta, honey, rice, beans, and canned foods. All kinds of mediterranean foods, spices, etc. AND PASTRIES! They had these delicious cream rolls for $1.50 that I've seen elsewhere for $4! They have fresh organic produce too like herbs, veggies, and fruit. All in all, this place is awesome. CANNOT BEAT THE PRICES! Way better than Safeway or Lucky or anywhere else. Definitely give this place a try--do not go without buying the special bread, ask the guy at the cashier and he gives you tokens to take to the bakery. read more

a very good place to buy groceries and meat very friendly staff & reasonable prices. The old young man in the meat section is really great guy who always asks about the health of my dad. read more

If I could rate this place negative stars I would. The butcher here is terrible anyone who says otherwise has never ever dealt with a good butcher before. They rip you off by giving you terrible cuts of meat that are nothing but bones and fat. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the butcher here. read more

I would rate this zero if I could, one star is for the meat butcher he's a humble person. But the cashier? He's the rudest person I've ever met, seems like dude has a bad every day. I went twice here and he was so rude the whole time. He was also being rude to other customers too, He was on the phone the first time I went and was eating lunch (wasn't wearing a mask) but I didn't care. Suddenly, someone asked him for bread tokens and he was yelling at the poor man, that they only sold in packs of 2. Like dude it's just a question, chill out. Besides, the man was willing to take it. Then when I didn't want something, he started showing me attitude and started groaning. Like I get it, I'm sorry. But if I go to other stores they don't this frustrated if i don't want something. Plus, it wasn't even busy at the time, so I don't see the reason for frustration.This whole experience was just horrible. If you don't want to work then don't. Please don't be in the counter then, ruining other people's day sir with your sad attitude. I'm sure others would love to have your job! read more

I would, like others, give this place negative stars if I could. My dad once tried to buy rice, the sign said $13.50 a bag, so he grabs 4, when he gets to the register, the cashier is on the phone and tells my dad oh it's $15.50 now I just heard on the phone from my boss. LOL WTF. Then, I came in and asked for bread, and he grabs one in a shopping bag, cold, on the rack by the cashier stand, and told me we don't have warm bread -- but someone walked out with like 12 of them. I say never mind I want two, and I believe you, but I don't want THAT bread. He takes me back and sure enough grabs me two in a normal plastic bread bag and guess what, they're WARM. Mind you, I never once spoke Farsi to them. I never do. Am I supposed to do salamalaki or some shit to get decent customer service? Are the young people here that oppressed? Go back to the motherland if you like oppression lala jaan. I don't need sunshine and rainbows coming out of your ass just some normal human decency, not much to ask for. read more

I have been going to this place for more than a decade and long before we became their neighbor. Thank you Agha Saib, Yama Jan, Mohammad Khan and Mama Jan and Ahmad khan for your excellent and friendly service. I highly recommend it. read more

This is a place that my family and I shop at often. Usually the owner works there and is a very nice and respectful person. Today unfortunately a very disrespectful and rude young man was working there. Coming there to try and buy some meat from the butcher he was rude and couldn't be bothered to show the customer the meat. In the end, his total disrespect and attitude made us pass on purchasing any thing. I will definitely not be shopping while this person is working the store. No mater how good the product might be, if the service is bad, there is no point in going in. To the owner, i would say, make sure your employees have the same standards that you do. read more

Afghan bread FTW!!! You get this HUGE piece of berad for $2 and you feel super cool getting it because it feels like a shady transaction for bread. You hand the guy at the front counter $2. He gives you a coin. He points to the back of the store. You hand the coin to the guy chilling in the back. He goes behind another door. He brings back your bread. Not sure why we had to this, but it was all worth it in the name of the bread. Sooooo delicious and sooooo ate all two loaves in a matter of two days (carb overload!). Can't wait to go back to get more and have another shady transaction! read more

Best place in fremont if you ask me. Produce are fresh. People are extremely nice. The store has been there for over a decade. Bread is delicious. The meat is halal and always fresh! I wouldn't shop anywhere else. read more

I really like the store. It's clean and well organized. Meat shop and the old man (mama Jon saheb) is the best. I don't care much for the people on the register except the owner. The skinny short man always looks angry and everyone else seems to care about people's race and political view. They point blink ask about your race. I'm Afghan but why do I have to declare it every time I go grocery shopping. Advice to the owner: please get rid of these people. read more

Best place for Halal meat. Fresh hot $2 bread must try. In-house baked cookies are really good as well. Staff is polite and cooperative. Parking is available and service is very quick. read more

Stopped in for a small bag of delicious Turkish pistashcio's. It's a small store that is packed with Afghani groceries and other imported items. read more

Almost can't believe I haven't reviewed this place since I live up the street and come here all the time! What can I say? I love this place. I get my halal meat here, my veggies, my yogurt, and most of all.... the hot fresh bread! Spices, tea, and sweets... rice, bologna, hotdogs... henna even! Plus I love family owned neighborhood shops and small businesses. They have an old school kind of charm that other places don't have. Definitely a staple in my book. read more

I've been a customer for years, I come with my family or sometimes I take it out to go. I like all of their dishes, but my favorite is beef ( tikka kabob). The best in the area by quality and price. Their chicken kabob is juicy and the bolani is the best. Their hospitality is 7 star I can rate. They make the best chutney (green hot sauce with vinegar, cilantro, pepper, garlic, and spices), which is the only restaurant that doesn't give me heartburn. I wish them the best and success as I've been a customer for 10 years of this fine restaurant. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves healthy, fresh, and delicious food that is cooked to perfection daily. read more

I usually buying food,grocery and other stuff from Damwand very reasonable price. Stuff members especially Yama and the butcher the old guy they are the best person I ever been to any store. read more

Have been buying the Persian style flatbread here for maybe 2 years now and the owner (I think he is the owner, man always at cashier) is super nice and friendly. I purchase only the bread about once a month and although I am often the only non-Iranian or Persian customer in there, he remembers me and even remembers the number of breads I usually buy. The price has gone up $2 per bread, but I think its still worth it since its always fresh. I personally like the ones with the seeds on top. read more

Stopped in here for some Halal meat and groceries. Ordered 2 lbs of lamb (very tender meat), a whole chicken cut up in pieces and 2 lbs of ground beef. All that meat for under $30 - which is pretty good price. I also ordered white flour, but they ended up giving me wheat flour. Other than that it was pretty good service and prices. Small place, but they got fresh afghani naan as well. There is a kabab place right next door (but I didnt try it out). Friendly service. read more

It is a great place to buy Persian food. They bake authentic "barbari" bread for $2. You'd better buy a few, cut them in small peices and store them in freezer. Then whenever you want to eat, warm then up in toaster. They also sell fresh Halal meat and poultry. The meat is the best I have ever eaten. Madjid ,the shopkeeper, is very nice gentleman from Tehran. read more

I went to this market and it was a different experience. They had many different kinds of food that I had no clue about, but it was interesting learning about another culture, and I also found something to buy in there. It was some fruit, cant go wrong with fruit lol. read more
