I had thought I wouldn't find a good place in San Diego when I first moved here, but I gotta say I was impressed. The only thing keeping me from a 4/5 star review was the cashier person didn't seem like they knew what they were doing and plain grumpy, and the green vegetables do not look all that fresh. But I will be coming back in a week or two and I'm sure my impressions will boost this rating, see you soon!

Easy to find on a busy corner off El Cajon Blvd., has a small parking lot with plenty street parking. aisles are tight but their baskets fit easily. Entrance is from the parking lot not street facing. They take all major credit cards as cash.

Your customer service is trash. The attitude in your store is awful, especially the girl standing…read moreat the cashier. She's rude, moody, and makes customers feel like they're doing something wrong just by standing there to buy. No respect, no manners, no basic understanding of how to treat people. On top of that, some of the products you sell are spoiled or expired. That's not a small mistake, that's straight-up negligence and disgusting, especially for a store selling food. With this kind of attitude and this level of carelessness, don't be surprised when people stop coming and start warning others about your store.

The market itself has a lot of different grocery items. The workers are very helpful and will answer any questions you have. Almost forgot to mention they serve authentic sheeryakh (Afghan ice cream). It's so good it makes the two hour drive to get here worth it. This is my favorite Afghan market in all of SoCal.

When I saw they served Sheer Yakh I knew I had to take my family to get a taste of their homeland. We ordered Bolani, Sheer Yakh and FRESH bread. I read the reviews about the wait, which to us, didn't matter. As an Afghan, I know the hard work and time that goes into to making the cuisine. Everything was made to order with fresh ingredients. The woman working was very kind and attentive. We were short a few breads for purchase, which she immediately made us the amount we needed. The gentleman working made delicious Sheer Yakh and provided great customer service. I truly hope this business does well. I love to see members of the Afghan community succeeding.
