I had been here before but when I came to try the food, the cafeteria had been closed, but, today…read morewas the day! What a hidden gem I just found! Im not sure where to start.... Firstly, this is a small store but it is entirely packed with all middle eastern/indian essentials, like flours, seeds, condiments, chips, sweets (bagged and homemade), canned goods, clay pots, etc. PLUS it has a meat butchery in the back, which means the freshest halal meat...fresh ground beef, chicken breast, ground veal, lamb, organ meats from veal and lamb, etc. it all looked VERY FRESH. They also have a small vegetable section but that is mostly very essentials like cilantro, carrots, onions and tomatoes. PLUS it is a restaurant! Which is precisely what I was there for and, left very well satisfied. I tried the daily special (Mon-Sat 11am-6pm) "sandwich" but is not with bread, is with pita, and chose BEEF KOFTA and FELAFEL.. WOW ! both definitely larger than a usual lunch portion. The kofta was juicy, tender, fresh and very well seasoned with fresh veggies and a mildly spicy red sauce inside that was just perfect every bite!. The felafel was PACKED with smashed felafels with veggies and I added garlic sauce and red sauce... it was truly delicious! They have a wide variety of drinks, chips, snacks and sodas from middle east to complement your sandwich. Also, at the entrance, they have their special coffee, which you serve yourself, and it was delicious! To top it off, the service was very friendly, specially from the lady at the cafeteria, but overall friendly and helpful. And BEFORE you leave, take a look at the small perfume section they have! we found some fantastic arabic perfumes and I will be back for 1 of them that hypnotized me lol. A hidden gem for me and will definitely be back !

Something to clarify: Two Brothers Halal Market is both an Indian grocery store and a restaurant…read more This review will cover the grocery section as I have not tried the restaurant in the back. This is a great secondary grocery. By that, I mean you go here for ingredients you can't find in a regular grocery store like Kroger or HEB. This has the best selection of whole spices and lentils I've seen anywhere in this area: so great in fact that this grocery is my go to location for these goods. If you're in the area and you want to cook some Indian food, this place is one you must visit. However, their limited space limits the amount of inventory they can hold. This results in extremely limited amounts of vegetables (I saw one large container, and that was it). I didn't see milk or eggs at all. Their meat selection is better though; they even have frozen microwave dinners separated by meat (beef, chicken, and lamb). I wouldn't use this grocery for pantry essentials; I'd use them in case you want to eat/cook something from Indian cuisine specifically. And the parking spaces are very limited. I got lucky and found a parking space, but not everyone might be so lucky. The parking lot is just two rows of spaces, and a couple are reserved for a separate entity. I'd try to get here near the time they open (9 am every day according to their website) since there's probably fewer people then.

I love stopping into the us little chain of Mexican grocery stores for some basic grocery needs…read moreplus the prepared food section. While I don't cook Mexican food often, I can still find some solid everyday produce items here like fruits, onions, limes, eggs etc that you need in a pinch. The butcher shop in the back also has some amazing deals on meats, marinated and regular once and awhile. However the main reason I visit this chain is for the prepared foods. It's like a mini cafeteria line with a plethora of marinated and cooked meats plus sides! There's so many options in terms of purchasing. They sell the meats by the pound, as tacos, or as my favorite, a combination plate with the choice of two sides and two meats with tortillas. My go to order is usually rice and beans plus barbacoa and pastor, but I often times mix it up with the other various options, many of which I can't name. The ladies scooping the food are nice and will help you. Don't forget to ask for extra goodies like red and green salsa plus cilantro, onion, and limes to make your own tacos since the plate comes with tortillas. For $10.99 I consider this an excellent deal on some authentic Mexican food. The food comes packaged to go, but many stay and eat in store at one of the many available tables laid out. You must purchase your meal first at the register along with any drink you may want. It helps to know a little Spanish, but you'll be fine even without.

I think it's a frozen product that they heat in the comal or griddle. The curtido wasn't fresh either. The side of stewed vegetables was good and healthy though. You can't buy an individual pastry any more due to Covid. You have to buy more than one. They do have individual portions of chocoflan, tres leches, and other goodies in the refrigerated section. By the way, I didn't see them disinfecting the chairs and tables after they had been used. I asked a lady behind the food counter if she had something I could disinfect the chair and table with. She pointed me to the hand sanitizer pump. I should have gotten my wipes out of the car. Oh well! I was hungry.

OMG I ate the best baklava in Houston! When the doors of the food mart opened, the aroma that hit…read moreme was insane! I didn't bother to look at any of the products on the shelves. My nose literally led me to the back of the food mart where the bakery is. I saw trays and trays of different kinds of baklavas in the display cases. I got greedy (as usual when it comes to sweet food) and asked for eight different kinds of baklavas. The baklavas were sold by per pounds. Luckily I brought my Turkish friend along which helped in the communication part, and I was able to get a few pieces of each kind. The baklavas weren't too sweet, and they were so awesomely good. If I have to choose one favorite (trust me, it is tough to have one favorite only), it would have to be the cold baklavas with hazelnut or pistachios. Eat them straight out from the fridge is just aaahhhh... Diyarbakir Burma with pistachio had a good texture contrast that was so good. I also got the rice pudding (forgot to take a pic because I gobbled it down before I remember to take a pic) which came in a small rectangle aluminum tray. The rice pudding was baked well, and it wasn't overly sweet. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Other than sweets, the bakery sells breads too. That would be the food item l will purchase on my next visit.
