The market has great fresh produce and tons of Michigan brands. It's small but well-stocked. One thing that surprised me was how great their wine selection was! I saw a bottle of Gut Oggau, which most wine shops don't carry, and I was shocked! (Don't hesitate to buy wine here.) I did find their prepared food offerings a little underwhelming (we had been shopping for a lunch or snack after all), but I found it to be a very nice market for grocery shopping or wine shopping!

Ever since coming back in April from a long hiatus, I vowed to cook my own food as much as…read morepossible. One of the main dishes that I really love is Chicken Shawarma. I took to the internet to find a recipe that I could follow. I found one that was promising with very simple ingredients. The main one is Garam Masala. I cooked chicken shawarma when I was out of Michigan and it was good! So I figured I'll do it again here. I even got a little more ambitious and prepared myself a Mediterranean garlic sauce with it to boot! One problem though: where in this neighborhood could I buy garam masala. I called a store that would remain nameless that advertised they "now sell middle eastern cuisine" but, after the phone call, I realize they do NOT sell SPICES - just the cuisine. Go figure. Suddenly, I remembered that everytime I go visit Burger King on 10 mile and Ryan there is a little inconspicuous store behind it that advertises they sell Middle Eastern spices. Since it is only a short drive from my place, I thought I'd check it out. As I went through the door, I was greeted by a soft spoken man who kindly asked me if he could help me find something. When I told him I'm looking for garam masala, he said they have several. He started taking out packets of cumin, curry, etc. thinking that i want to MIX my own garam masala (which one could DO btw).I told him that I am looking for one that is already mixed. He told me that he had two packets left somewhere. Frankly, I didn't think he had so I just took my time looking around the store and found out they have ALL KINDS of Middle Eastern spices, soup, etc. and took a mental note where to go in case I need something else in the future. It took but two minutes when the man handed me a packet. Lo and behold on the front of the packet was the label "Garam Masala." Long story short, I got my fix of home-cooked Mediterranean food without having to drive to Bucharest Grill in Detroit! I'm posting the picture of the said chicken shawarma on my profile. It DID taste as good as it looked! ;) All thanks to this store for the main ingredient! THIS would be my go-to store for all things middle eastern from now on. I WILL be back!

I've tried the salmon, burnt ends, southern white beans, smoked wings, and jalapeno cheddar grits. There is also a selection of healthy food that I also enjoy including salads, sandwiches, seafood, and breakfast food like frittata and deviled eggs. It is a bit pricey but the food tastes fresh and homemade. I come here exclusively to buy ready made meals. The price is worth it because everything bought here is eaten up and enjoyed by my household. It's still cheaper than dining out these days. Service is friendly as well.

Once I got to the front, it was easy from there, but what slowed the line down is that two ladies had full carts trying to go through self serve which is 12 items or less.

Upon entering the store I noticed how clean and maintained the store was. The fruit and vegetables look so fresh. I went to the hot foot section to order lunch. The staff was friendly and even let me try a free sample of one of the items I was unsure about. I ordered their bbq wings, it came with two sides. I got Mac&cheese and yams. My only complaint is that the yams were very very stringy. Because i stayed 30 minutes from the location I could not drive back right away. I called and the Chef Mike apologized and offered to provide me another side when I do return. The food was also very reasonable priced for good shareable portions.

Just go to Holiday market for any prepared foods because it's not only better quality but I think the pricing is better. Their deli is all Deitz & Watson, which is as expensive as Boars Head but nowhere near as good. The lunchmeat always gets slimy within 2 to 3 days.
