I've watched more than one car back into another trying to escape a space that was clearly designed for a smaller crowd than this place actually pulls in. If you're coming, budget an extra minute to ease out slowly and watch your mirrors. Once you're inside, though, it's a different story. This is where I go for halal ground beef, lamb, and chicken on a regular rotation, and the quality has never once let me down -- everything's fresh, well-trimmed, and clearly turned over fast enough that nothing sits. The market itself is easy to navigate, genuinely clean, no overwhelming meat-counter smell, no piped-in music competing with your thoughts -- just a well-organized space that gets out of your own way while you shop.

Meats and cheeses were abundant at the counter; there was a good variety of typical Middle Eastern products and some products I had not seen before.

It means that Arash fulfills a cultural need. I'll be sure to go back to Arash when I next come to Denver.

The shop is enormous but very well-organized, so whether you're looking for beauty products, clothes or (of course) groceries you'll be able to find it in a heartbeat.

I walked into GW Supermarket looking for one thing -- mango puree -- and walked out having found…read moreeverything except that. That's the honest headline of this place: it's enormous, and it's stocked with sections for African, Indian, Jamaican, Japanese, Korean, and half a dozen other countries' pantries, and somehow the one basic thing I came in for wasn't on a shelf anywhere. I asked two different staff members if I was missing it, and both actually walked the aisle with me to check rather than just pointing and shrugging. No luck that day, but the effort mattered. Most of the packaging in here isn't in English, and if you're the type who needs to read every label before buying, budget extra time. But that's part of what makes it worth the trip -- this isn't a store dumbing itself down for anyone, it's a store built for the communities it actually serves, and the labels reflect that. If you get stuck, staff will come find the item with you instead of just gesturing toward an aisle number. Heads up walking past the seafood section: there's a real smell there, but it's the honest smell of fresh fish, not anything spoiled or off. If you've spent time in any proper seafood market, you'll recognize it immediately and it shouldn't put you off -- it's not a red flag, just a strong one. Prices are genuinely good for the volume and range of product you're getting, and the sheer scale of the place means you could shop here weekly and still find something new every time. It's a little chaotic in the best way -- more discovery than errand. Who it's for: anyone cooking outside the standard American grocery aisle, anyone who wants ingredients for a specific regional dish and is tired of substituting, and anyone who just likes wandering a store that clearly wasn't designed by committee. Go in with time to browse, not a tight list -- and maybe don't count on the mango puree. 4.5 stars, rounding to 4 -- knocked half a point for the miss on a pantry staple in a store this size, not for anything the staff did.

Well, what's that business that's just sprung up in the plaza at Buckley/Mexico (basically, right…read morebehind Culver's?). Your theories are correct, Sherlock - it's a nexus of Nigerian (etc.) niftiness. Let's pay a visit, and get a little Jigi - Jigi International Market, to be exact. Oh, you've always wanted to try your hand at Naija cooking, but are just too pressed for time? Your prayers have been answered. Go grab a bag or two of the mixes for Ayamase (Yoruba pepper stew) or Ewa Aganyin (bean/onion mash with distant origins in Benin) and you'll find your day seems so much less stressful. (If you really want to get adventurous, you can even find the Oloyin - honey beans - needed to make the latter completely from scratch!). Spice aficionados won't be left out here either - snag a jar of Shito (Ghanaian chili/crawfish sauce), some Egusi (gourd seeds, ground in this case), or a bottle of seasoning blend designed to make your Banga (palmnut soup) really sing. And of course, the cooler has all kinds of refreshing beverages to tempt you, including quite a few from the Nigerian division of Schweppes. (On this note, if they happen to have it on the day you visit, try the fruitily-bitter - or do I mean bitterly-fruity? - Chapman, which would be a strong contender for the country's national soft drink!). All this talk of food has made me a little peckish, so let me take a break for a second to tell you about one of my favorite snacks from this part of West Africa - namely, Kuli-Kuli. These gingery little peanut crisps are often sold by, for example, roadside vendors to hungry commuters - and you can see why everyone's maxing out their gas tanks by buying a little plastic tub of them at Jigi for yourself. Then again, some soft, creamy butter mints would probably hit the spot right now too - or even a bag or two of Tom Tom menthol candy. Now that I'm feeling a bit more satiated, it's time to stock up on a bit of protein - perhaps some Bokoto (cow leg), Igbin (snails), or canned mackerel from Jamaica is in my immediate future. Hang on! I just remembered something that you'll love hearing about. With a little advance notice, you can even order some classic Nigerian catering - how does a little jollof rice or Isi-Ewu (goat-head soup) sound? Anyway, all this and more can be found at Jigi, so jet on over there now.

While he was back there the butcher gave him a little fried pork snack to try and he's in heaven lol. Then said to come back in a few hours for the pork belly chicharones... he just might do that! My only complaint is the lack of pricing on everything. I have no idea how much 90% of the things in there cost because they aren't labeled. Will definitely stop in again.

If you are tired of shopping at one of the big chain grocery stores and are looking for something…read moreunique with tradition behind it, Tradishn Market & Café might be for you. As I was able to finally utilize this Eastern European/Central Asian store early afternoon on a beautiful Monday, I felt compelled to write about my experience. It's located in this quiet strip mall in the southeastern corner of E Smokey Hill Rd and Chambers, its existence is somewhat overshadowed by the sports bar next door. Had I not come to this mall to work my side gig shift at the very bar, I don't think I would have ever found this cute market/deli/café. Small markets such as this tend to sell the normal groceries with higher price tags. I think I at least saw a review left by one of the past users who said it. And yet, based on my shopping experience this afternoon, I somewhat disagree to that opinion. I didn't buy much. As my refrigerator still had good variety of foods left, I only wanted a few to several items: namely rare finds. When I try a business that I have never used before, I bring my authentic self with curiosity bigger than one of the 14ers in Colorado. Hence, I arrived to it with so much expectation and anticipation. The store looked quiet at 12:50pm. Instead of the workers, one of the patrons who said he lived across from the street said a pleasant hi to me. He was enjoying his little him time at one of the tables upfront. Inside is quite modern. And cute/adorable as well. After passing the café area where they can make drinks, I proceeded to what appeared to be the deli section. Then I immediately saw their "prepared" foods. After carefully investigating each one, I grabbed the attention of one of the ladies all the way to the meat section for assistance. I picked what appeared to be rolled cabbage meat (so no cabbage around it; it appeared to be chicken so chicken hamburger meat type thing), stirred fried veggies that included eggplant, cauliflower, red pepper etc. and grape leaves (and yet, per the lady, what's inside the leaves was ground beef.) She carefully placed all of them in two separate containers for me to take home. I had no clue how much the per pound price for the prepared foods was but I really didn't care to be freak. And for the next 15-20 minute or so, I walked slowly to browse each aisle. The items they carry at this store were quite unique where some of the packages are/were written (I believe) in Russian language. Quite intriguing indeed. As much as I wanted to immerse myself in the foods that I have never had before, I exercised discipline by not buying all those "unknown" items. It was hard though! Like I said, it was my uncontrollable curiosity that drove me nuts while walking around! I ended up with only 4 items in the basket. When the lady upfront rang them up, I realized that the per pound price for the prepared foods was only $5.99 so between the two containers, it was only $10 with some change. Wow! This was not expected. I thought each one would be easily $10 so I was expecting to pay close to $20 for both. As soon as I got home, I tried all the prepared foods. And all of them are/were well-seasoned/prepared/cooked in a family style cooking. As I got to savor the "Tradishn" of the cuisines they boast about at this shop, my happy tummy was literally smiling with joy. This place didn't disappoint. This somewhat tiny in size but mighty in quality market quietly exists in a little space in the city of Aurora. And as the store's name says it all, it does carry the authenticity with modern twists. I quite fancy this place!
