Neat little hidden gem tucked in Aurora. I needed to buy groceries, but needed to find a Latino…read moremarket for the right ingredients. I was lucky to stumble upon this place! They have a variety of produce typically found in Latin grocers (tomatoes, avocados, Mexican onions, chiles etc). They also have Mexican sweet bread, locally made tortillas, and a meat shop. In the back they also sell food and it's pretty good! I ordered the tacos and among my favorite were the nopal con queso (cactus with cheese)! Everything is made in house. My favorites were the taco de borrego (lamb), their homemade sauces, and the housemade champurrado (Mexican chocolate corn meal drink). The borrego taco was was amazing! They use homemade fluffy, flour tortilla and the lamb was cooked perfectly! They also sell fresh, homemade tamales! I loved this place but I have to take away 1 star for several reasons. The wait was lengthy even when I ordered an additional taco, the produce isn't the best of quality, and the lady at the register at the front wasn't the nicest. As in didn't say a word to me even after I wished her a happy new year. I'll be coming back for those tacos de borrego and champurrado.

I wouldn't really classify this as a market because it's super limited and I'm questioning the…read morefreshness of the refrigerated items since I brought a container of yogurt and it was literally rancid when I got home. However the Denver Halal restaurant is inside and if you're looking for a no frills spot to grab affordable gyros and chicken shawarma this is your spot. They will also sell you their meats on the spits by the pound. We grabbed gyros at $20/lb and they pile in in a container for a quick to go order. Let's be clear this place is NOT fancy, you don't come for ambiance and you don't come for grocery items but their meats and sandwiches hit so I'll keep coming back.

The shawarma was absolutely delicious and the kabob platter was mouth watering. Highly recommended.read more

The scariest part of a trip to Arash International Market isn't picking between three cuts of lamb…read more-- it's the parking lot. 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.

I was in Denver recently, visiting my family, and I saw this market as I was driving around. Having…read morebeen to several excellent Arab markets in the Dallas area, where I live, I thought I would take a look. I was quite impressed! 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. Prices were reasonable and the service was excellent. The place was crowded and I was one of the few people there who did not speak Arabic. That's a good sign! It means that Arash fulfills a cultural need. I'll be sure to go back to Arash when I next come to Denver.

Filipino foods, entrees and snacks in the freezer section as well. All of the ingredients needed to make, pancit, adobo (minus the meat), sinigang, fried rice and more. The store is PACKED with many goodies to choose from. We arrived close to closing time and the owners were still so welcoming. I wish I lived closer for the selection and service!

The Pakistani family who own World Food Bazaar have some surprises in store for you when you stop…read moreby their little place at the back of an industrial estate near 2nd and Havana. 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. From the flowery ice cream soda called Pakola to digestive biscuits, from violet-distilled Banafsha syrup to preserved Hurda [inknut] fruit (good for swollen tonsils and hacking coughs respectively), from huge bags of Basmati rice to tasty fresh Samosa pastries, you can fill your South Asian needs here. World Food Bazaar is sure to become a must-stop on Havana Street from your first visit. Check it out and see for yourself!

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.

Not my preferred store layout hence I don't shop here often. But they do have a lot of options.

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. To support this local shop though.
