I got two cans of corned beef ($4.99 each, $9.98), Jamaican champagne drink ($1.99). Keep up the good work.

There are also a few fresh items from the restaurant and I got some samosas to go, which were aromatic and delicious upon reheating. I found some noodles and snacks and the store, but it certainly didn't have a huge produce or frozen selection and I probably wouldn't have come if I didn't want fresh samosas. Given that I did, this place fit the bill.

The store definitely has a lot of Indian spices, sauces, dried / fresh / frozen food. I'm a beginner in Indian cooking and was bewildered when I walked into this store. I was there just to check out the store and didn't have anything in mind that I needed to buy but I'm sure that I will be able to find whatever I need for Indian cooking here. I ordered 2 items from the restaurant: samosas and gobi aloo. 1. The samosas were $1.29 each and were hot, flaky, good potato and peas fillings. The restaurant didn't have any chutneys, would have been nice to have gotten some mint or tamarind chutney for the samosas but no big deal. 2. Gobi aloo for some reason was extremely salty, and spicy even though I asked for mild. Even when I ate it with a ton of rice and naan it was still too salty. Need to ask them to hold the salt next time. Besides the extra seasonings, I think this dish would have been pretty good.

I love that these jewels continue to reveal themselves the more we explore the neighborhood, and that my cooking grows ever more adventurous as a result. Husband and I stumbled on African Grocery and Meat Market completely by chance, as we're prone to do in these cases. After a weekly run to Grand Mart, we found ourselves still in need of whole coffee beans for making our morning espressos (sorry, Grand Mart, but Nescafé does not a decent cup of coffee make). We spotted AGaMM as we were loading the car and figured, why not? Africa produces some of the most prized beans in the coffee world, and Ethiopia is generally accepted as the "birthplace of coffee"...perhaps AGaMM would carry a selection. In we went. We were happily welcomed by a woman stocking refrigerators with smoked, dried catfish and tilapia, enrobed in a sheath of smoke from the incense burning near the front door. CDs of world music line the shelves behind the register, and several aisles contain everything from custard powder, cassava, and bulk rice, to enormous, industrial cook pots, plastic laundry baskets, and essential oil diffusers. Everything seemed quite affordably priced, too, like nonstick, double-burner griddles for $16. A gentleman at the back of the store noticed us wandering and asked if he could help. We said we were desperate for coffee, and he apologized saying they don't sell it. He suggested the panaderia a few doors down. As we meandered our way back towards the front of the store, the gentleman called out to us. "Wait, what *kind* of coffee are you looking for? Because this early in the morning I assume you want drip coffee to-go, which we don't sell, but I want to be sure I have given you the right information!" I said we were looking for whole beans. "I have that!" he exclaimed, and led us to the dry goods aisle. Unfortunately, the only beans that AGaMM carries are unroasted Ethiopian coffee "seeds," to be roasted at home, typically in a flat pan over coal for a coffee ceremony, the gentleman informed us. And in that instant, I wanted a flat pan over coal for roasting my own beans. (http://blog.seattlecoffeegear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ethiopian_coffee_ceremony.jpg) Though AGaMM didn't have what we were looking for *that* day, the warmth of the service and reasonable prices will certainly bring me back when I am in the market for allspice, dried chiles, or other African goodies.

I came here, because they happened to have halva from Egypt, which I never tried. I tried halva from Greece and Turkey, but never Egypt. The halva I bought was from a brand called El Bawadi, and I personally hope that they will carry more flavors from that brand in the future, because there was only the pistachio flavor. I really like halva as a dessert or treat. When I came I also remember seeing that they also carry Turkish delight, baklava, teas, drinks, canned goods, incense, a few gifts, and more. I personally found the service to be friendly as well.
