I went to Phoenicia Specialty foods for the first time ever and realized I have wasted the last 8…read moreyears since I moved to Houston having never been here before, because wow! I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

My niece and I checked out Phoenicia's for lunch, which was surprisingly delicious…read more My niece has simplistic tastes, so she opted for the chicken burger, which I tried of course. Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good. Definitely bookmarked as a return option.

Great grocery market, I shopped there for years, no price increase and very fresh meat. This will…read morevery difficult for me. Other stores put less meat in their packaging at a much higher price. They even had a Masjid in the back of the store and an organic food section. The cashiers were very courteous and friendly, this is no lie this is the truth! At the other meat stores in Houston half the time I can't even get a salaam or hi and forget a smile. Maybe because I'm African American. Anyway from the heart they will be greatly missed.

They have a hot foods bar where you can order things like samosas and tandoori chicken. They have most of the items a regular grocery store would have plus some "exotic" stuff. They have an amazing dairy & ice cream section. Some of the best ice cream you will ever find can be found in the store!!! I love saffron & pistachio ice cream. I love the variety of plain yogurt's and dips. They have a huuuuuuge spice selection and every time I swing by the employees are always helpful and friendly!!! It's a little chaotic in here because it's set up like a warehouse store and business is booming, but don't let that keep you from doing by. I absolutely love this shop!!!

The produce is sharp, the seafood counter is alive, and the aisles stretch out with everything from Korean staples to snacks you didn't grow up with but suddenly need in your life. It's not just shopping it's wandering. You go in for a few things and somehow end up leaving with dumplings, instant noodles, kimchi you didn't plan on buying, and something sweet you'll try later just because it looked interesting.

I cannot resist this cute Dutch gift shop and small grocery shop in the heart of Old Towne Spring…read more The Krakelin cookies are our absolute fave that remind me of the cookies we had in Aruba this past summer while traveling with my parents.

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.
