Amazing and exotic market. They have Armenian foods, international groceries, fresh Falafals, fresh Homus, fresh grapeleaves, and a produce section. This place has been in business for over 25 years. Very clean and organized. Love the Fresh bread daily and all kinds of great stuff. read more

Everything is so good at Fresno Deli! The best babaganush, hummus and to die for garlic sauce! The service is great.

Terrible service and disrespectful employees, Rotten and expired foods. Dont recommend going here

Very Rude and unprofessional owner who runs his shop most days. He is always moody, never says "hello or thank you" after the sales. Expensive fresh produce which at times are close to being rotten, sometimes expired other food items. I experienced this issues a few times and for one last time today! read more

This is your go to spot for middle eastern and Armenian goods. One thing that sets Fresno deli apart from the rest is all the sundries they carry in addition to the food. You can find serving dishes, jazveh for coffee, armenian grills, and hookahs in addition to ready made foods and ingredients for all kinds middle eastern cooking. They also have a menu if you'd like to order specialty items. Certain items turn over faster but others need to be rotated more often. Check labels for freshness. Great place to get deli meats like basturma, cheese and olive assortments, zaatar, and coffee. Check them out read more

Masks required to go in. There is lots of good stuff! I ended up ordering the Baba Ganoush (eggplant) veggie sandwich and asked if I could pay extra and add turkey. That wasn't a problem at all. It's clean and safe! The older lady that took my order was nice and talked about how they do not put mayo or mustard on it because it "needs to be the best!" =) She made up the sandwich and wished me a good lunch. That is in the back "deli section." It is a store. All kinds of different foods! You go up to the register and pay and the lady there was very kind too and wished me a good day! =) The veggie turkey sandwich was wow, deliciousness! Fresh and tasty! A lot of great flavor! It's large too! Half was enough. Leftovers! Great service and delicious food! Highly recommended! read more

Hands down my favorite market or anything out of the ordinary or even just freshest herbs and veggies! It's a safe place. They are so respectful and kind of all my kids shop for me and they are so courteous to the experience for them. This is my favorite market and you can get anything you need especially if you're looking for Armenian or Middle Eastern things. read more

I was on my way to Sam's Deli when I realized they're closed on Mondays. So I checked Yelp and Fresno Deli was nearby - figured I'd give it a go. If you're looking for Middle Eastern imports, this is the spot. They have a huge selection of everything from teas to drinks to kitchen staples. The deli counter at the back has a really simple menu and lots of freshly made deli items. Sandwiches are all around $5. I ordered a chicken sandwich, torn up white chicken on panini bread with tons of rich garlic sauce and some pickles. (I usually hate pickles, but these ones worked for me.) My husband got a deli salami sandwich, which came on pita with the usual deli ingredients (tomatoes, lettuce, mustard, etc). The tomatoes in particular were super fresh and delicious. We also got some other bits to share - including some pita chips from the shelf and hummus (solid), baba ganoush (super smoky and delicious), and wrapped vine leaves (good and tangy) from the deli. The deli was also super stocked with different cheeses (including huge blocks of feta), tons of olives, and tray desserts. The sandwiches took a few minutes to prepare so we had a wander around the store while we waited. There's just one table to sit at, most people take their food to go. The staff were very friendly, too. I imagine this is a haven for immigrants looking for treats from home. I'll definitely be back. read more

From this store I bought chocolate sandwich biscuits made in Holland, hazelnut cream wafers from Italy , Persian sweets ( zoolbia and bahmia), falafel mix and mixed nuts from Lebanon, Sahlab( coconut vanilla drink mix ) from Syria , Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka, a can of mackerel from Latvia , tea glasses made in Jordan. My point - you can find goodies from around the world in one place. In my humble opinion, they carry more variety than the World Market. read more

Here I am, finally getting around to updating my first review on Yelp. When I first starting Yelping, I wasn't sure how many people would be interested in a Middle-Eastern specialty store, so that's why I focused mainly on the hookah, which seemed to be one of the few things Americans like about Middle-Eastern culture. Anyway, I'll put it like this- While European-Americans may be satisfied with Trader Joe's brand Hummus, for all the Armenian-Americans, Lebanese-Americans, Iranian-Americans, etc. we have Fresno Deli. It's a humble little store, but it's got great imported foods you can't find anywhere else. I like that that they have prepared food such as Lamehjoun that all you have to do is put in the oven. My family doesn't make it often because it's a little time-consuming to make, so picking it up here is a win. You may be unfamiliar with a lot of the stuff here, but if you do decide to check this place out, at least pick up a jar of pickles. You won't be eating Vlasic or any other American brands ever again. The guy working the register (he's the owner) may look a bit pissed off all the time, but he's a really cool guy if you have any questions. Like I mentioned in my previous review, they do have a dedicated hookah section where they sell the pipes, and another section where they have all of the shisha (flavored tobbaco.) In my opinion, they have the greatest selection of shisha in Fresno by far. They have all accessories also, such as extra hoses, heads, coals, anything you might need, really. Oh, and since this place is a Deli, they'll make you a sandwich at the meat counter. Unfortunately, it's just regular deli meats like salami and turkey breast or whatever, but they roll it up in a pita bread and give you some damn good feta cheese. So yeah, if you like Trader Joe's/Save Mart or whatever "hummus," for shame... Ignore this review. Go eat Costco's hummus, it's the best store bought stuff you can buy, at least. Otherwise, the next time you go to Fashion Fair, make it a point to drive the extra block south to check out Fresno Deli. read more

Under the circumstances that most ethnic stores aren't that great with organization and making their store look appealing, Fresno Deli would fall into the category for one of the most organized Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Rusian markets around Fresno, they also happen to be a deli that sells fresh food and also sells Halal beef, chicken and lamb, and yes they are credit card, debit card and cash friendly The selection of goods is quite extensive, they sell fresh and frozen meats, can and jar goods, fresh vegetables, fresh cheese, some prepared food, hookah or shisha essentials, fresh lavash and pita bread, and so much more. Its quite the complete store for everything from the region I mentioned. They even sell pots, glasses, pans and even bar of soaps from the middle east. The store is pretty big, and in my opinion the most organized compared to its other competition - probably not to the american standard, but for an ethnic groceries its pretty nicely done. There is plenty of parking here, both credit card and debit card is accepted here and of course the good old cash. Prices here is quite affordable and nothing is too pricey. I normally spend anywhere from $10-20 here for a lot of things. If you need something specific I would give them a call first, just to check before coming. The store clerk in nice, but the Armenian kinda hostile nice- sort of weird in my opinion, where they don't look at you or greet you as you enter, but they aren't rude or anything, Im guessing its their cultural norm to do that, so I just of along with it, all Im saying is that aren't the chirpy and bubbly american style of service. However, if you need anything, they will be helpful to locate it. read more

This gem is the best place to get your middle eastern foods. They also have a small but wonderful produce section. Their babaganoush is the best around and the staff is great. read more

I rate this place 4-5 Stars for merchandise, but 1 Star. If you want Middle Eastern goods, they certainly have it all. If you are looking for Middle Easter warmth and hospitality, they will not be found here. A "hello" only comes after you greet them, and there is a strain for even that. I note that all the low Stars ratings have the same issue. I also have some issues with an annoyance that seems to be a part of this and other international markets. Namely, some items are on the shelf, but not priced. I know that some things are "just in," but that is true at SaveMart, and everything on the shelf is priced. I think the "unpriced" business model is deceptive. We bought an item that had three alternatives. The priced one was $4. The unpriced was $8. The interesting thing is that it was unpriced the last time we bought it. I know the stock market has constantly changing prices as buyer and sellers are matched, but Fresno Deli does not require this type of business model. The owner always gives the impression that he is pulling one over on you. The unpriced items are always better (Gee, how surprising). I also had an incident once where he boasted about selling old pita bread as fresh. So, the merchandise is good and shelves stocked. The shopping experience...that is the 1-Star. read more

Deli has a half dozen varieties of olives, at a third to half the cost at whole foods. More in jars. Deli has four nations represented in the feta cheese, more in the refrigerator section. Great selection of grains, beans, spices at reasonable prices. Good prices for Olive oil, cheeses, jarred goods. Best falafel sandwich in town. read more

Fresno Deli - Wide array of middle eastern cheeses - Delis Near Me - Fresno, California

Every time I go into that Fresno deli the owner makes me feel as though he doesn't need me as a customer. He does not greet me or even says thank you after I make a purchase. If I say thank you then he will say you're welcome. Maybe since I am not Lebanese Armenian that's why. How can a person run a business like this. I do not want to go back. All other Armenian stories are friendly and treat you like a person. read more

I used to visit this deli as a child and the staff is welcoming to everyone. They are always so friendly and helpful at Fresno Deli. Amazingly low prices. Top quality products. I highly recommend visiting and exploring the wonderful products and cuisine. read more

My family has shopped here since I was very young. I stopped by a couple days ago for a few items and by the time I got home and opened a couple juices I noticed they tasted funny. That is because they expired in March of 2019..and it's currently January 2020. Definitely not acceptable and I was upset. The other items seemed fresh but now I feel like I'll have to check expiration dates. read more

You're not going to this store for a positive customer service experience. You are going to this store to buy middle-eastern food items, If you understand this concept you will not be disappointed. Do not look for a hello or a goodbye. Just buy your stuff and leave. Moderately priced, but fresh because of the heavy volume. Deli items are price well and have an authentic taste. Bread is brought in daily from local bakeries. Has a large selection of spices and can goods mostly middle-eastern based. read more

Good selection of items. They had everything I needed for my fattoush salad. Not impressed with customer service. I was literally ignored by the gentlemen cashier. Me:hello Him: I hand him my card. Him:debit or credit? Me: debit please Him: Hands card back and items in back. Me: okay thank you! Him: read more

Been meaning to Yelp this spot with 5 stars for a while now and just hadn't gotten around to it...here it is!... I haven't had a whole lot of Meditteranean/Middle Eastern food in my time but i can tell when ANYTHING is fresh and made with love. This spot has great eats from made-to-order sandwiches to Yalanchi to the best Fallafel I've had in Fresno. They carry a nice assortment of meats and cheeses including a delicious French Feta that I love and even a variety of olives. The owner's are friendly and courteous and always happy to share some of their culture through the foods they are preparing and serving. They have a few different options for Lahmajoon and they must go through those pretty fast because they're always fresh. Order ahead if your stopping in during lunchtime...Outside seating...and seriously, try the Falaffel! read more

Mostly has Middle Eatern type groceries and Halal food. I bought some good baklava there.

Finally visited the Fresno Deli and was surprised at how large it is. As Nick A. noted, a good selection of ME/Armenian foods. Wish I knew what some of it was . . . all the more reason to go back and explore. A limited produce section is also available. read more

Love the stuffed grape leaves, babaganoush (sp?), string cheese, hummus, lahmajoon, olives. Great selection of all middle eastern staples (FOUR sizes of bulgur, many types of feta...) A real neighborhood gem. read more

The selection of Armenian, Persian, and other Middle Eastern items are better than the other middle eastern markets in Fresno however the customer service ?. There's nothing called as a customer service in this business. The owners are super rude . I must check my receipts anytime I have to buy something from here. The only star I give them is because I can at least find some items that I really can find which the other ones are mostly out or don't carry. read more

I have enjoyed shopping here over the years for Armenian Food. A couple days ago, I went here and as I was up at the counter to pay, I smelled some delicious aroma of coffee beans. I thought...why not? So I got a pound, had them grind it for me, and I am currently enjoying a fresh cup. So in a nutshell, great place for bread, veggies, cheeses, meats, and now... coffee! Its no wonder that places like this have stayed open for so many years. They have good food, and a nice small business welcoming feel. They even have shopping carts for convenience-nice touch. read more

My family has been coming to this business for several years. We have since moved out of Fresno and continue to stop in every time we're in town. They have a wide range of Armenian and other Eastern Europe specialties. The staff is inviting, and will help you with whatever you may need or have questions about. I highly recommend this business and will continue to visit it every chance I get. read more

I always get a falafel sandwich when I come here. It's delicious, a real treat, and is my reason for giving 4 stars. All their sandwiches are $5. This evening I also picked up hummus and pita chips. The shop smells spicy and inviting and is fun to browse through and admire all the exotic items. Many reviews comment on the surly owner, which I must say is spot on, but the ladies working the deli are old-world sweet. Overall I recommend stopping by Fresno Deli for a chance to try Middle Eastern food. read more

I got a falafel wrap. The falafels were not friend instantly but the were soft and tastes fresh!

Best Armenian/Middle Eastern Deli Market in all of Fresno. Great inventory. And the owners treat their customers like family. They are so hospitable and Sevan and her staff make all the tabboule, hummus and yalanchi. It is truly flavorful , high quality food! Don't waste your time going any where else. They have everything. If they don't have it, they will try and get it. I've gone to other local similar markets and Fresno Deli continues to be the best. Everything else in town is garbage. read more

They are so friendly here, particularly the sweet lady who always helps me out at the deli counter. They have a great selection of cheeses, 4 kinds of feta if I recall correctly. You can shop for the majority of your basic Middle Eastern/Mediterranean/Armenian food necessities. Most things are reasonably priced. I've picked up some great Greek olive oil out of their moderate selection of olive oils. read more

This is a cool store and has a great deli in the back. The sandwiches are rolled up instead of in sub bread. Really fresh (the veggies were crunchy) and great tasting. What I like about a deli, is if it has its own character, not only in the surrounding environment, but in the sandwich itself. It is a great price for what you get on the deli sandwich. I am definitely going back there for more sandwiches at this deli. The many store products are awesome as well. It has a good selection of frozen, refrigerated, canned, and dried ethnic grocery products. read more

Any visit to Fresno for me always includes a stop here, and certainly not for the ambiance. I stock up on the best string cheese, tahini, pita bread and various other authentic delicacies carried here. read more

This place has the best selection of middle eastern/Armenian groceries in the valley. I've been coming here for over 20 years now and it seems like we always make a stop whenever I am in Fresno to stock up on pita bread and other supplies. Most everyone here is very friendly and helpful. I realize the gentleman owner isn't the outgoing type, but he isn't rude at all. I haven't eaten from the deli so I can't comment on the quality of their sandwiches. But, as far as selection goes, it's pretty extensive and the prices are reasonable. It's the only place I ever shop for Mediterranean groceries. read more

Love this little grocery store! They have a little bit of everything. Decent prices. I keep coming back since it's consistently great on products and friendly staff! read more
