They also have a wide selection of imported packaged snacks (dates, biscuits), goods and spices that I'd imagine would be crucial for running any Somali, Ethiopian or Middle-Eastern kitchen or restaurant. In the back, there is a butcher zone with offerings a like [halal] goat and lamb, both fresh & frozen. I'm not from the Somali end of Africa, but I love it here for the warmth of the proprietors and the sense of dépaysement! 5 stars

She charged me an extra $5 for the combo and lied that they don't offer sandwich only as an option anymore. Confronted her about it and she admitted to her dishonesty because she didn't want to figure out how to refund the $5. Burger was not cooked through and had lots of pink. Did not feel well taken care of as a customer.. Last time going to this market despite its layout. Owner needs to take care to improve quality of service and prepared foods.

We first visited over a year ago. They were having a viral moment & so of course we were…read moreinfluenced. That first visit was decent. The food was made hot & fresh. The samoon bread was insanely fresh. They were popping out batch after batch. That bread was soft, delicious & every ounce of comfort you could expect from fresh baked bread. I went a couple weeks ago and tried to order a shawarma but I must have came to early bc they were not ready. So today I decided to try again. I ordered the combo and the digital menu shows the combo as $14.99 but it rang up at $15.99. Not a big deal but the digital board should be updated. If you order online, the price does show for $15.99. The cashier was okay. Not as friendly with me as she was with others. It was like I was bothering her by ordering food. The gentleman who was in the back cooking my food was pretty friendly though. Honestly, based on the experience with the cashier it would be pretty easy to not rush back. But the shawarma was just good as I remembered. The chicken was juicy and extremely flavorful. Now that I work closer to this location, it will definitely be in rotation for me. The samoon was calling my name on this visit but I will definitely have to wait until next time and get it with some hummus. You can order the shawarma on the samoon also.

I've been stopping by every so often since they opened. I love that they have a deli with several…read moredifferent items and hot fresh BBQ items. They have a lot of great offerings of products from Southeast Asian and East Asian. They also offer cookware, utensils and other home needs too. The seafood section lets you buy fish and they will fry it for you too. The prices for seafood is probably one of the cheapest in the area. I haven't had any issues with their seafood so it is fresh. I will admit that I have seen some items that are past their expiration date. They also don't keep things at the best temperature for certain items so you just have to be careful. The store layout is organized but I wouldn't say the store is 100% clean. The staff members here can be friendly or stoic. Other than that, this market is great for the plentiful parking, location and product types.

I left soon after too. I am thankful that there are so many CLEAN and nice Asian markets in Seattle with good customer service and FRESH products.

South Seattle's food scene has seen a remarkable transformation in the past year, largely driven by…read morethe growing Afghan diaspora. At the heart of this change is a place i simply can't overlook, Queen Safa Market and Deli. This supermarket is massive and stepping inside genuinely felt like entering another universe. Markets like this are common in larger U.S. cities, but in Seattle? Rare. Naturally, I headed straight to the deli section (of course i was there for afghan food!), but curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to know more about the story behind this new market, and started strolling around. One thing that immediately caught my eye waa their pizza master in action, spinning dough up high in the air, prepping a massive 22-inch halal chicken pizza. I had to try it. And wow, it was delicious, so good. The crust was soft with the perfect thickness, topped with well-seasoned chicken and vegetables. When I asked how long he's been making pizzas, he smiled and said, "10 years." Well i could taste the experience. Of course, no visit to an Afghan spot is complete without my favorite dish -- Qabuli Pilau. Made with a tender lamb shank, it was cooked perfectly. And here's something that really stood out -- the rice and oil they use are from their own brand: Queen Safa. They import and package their essentials under their label , something I haven't seen in any other Seattle market. That's not just impressive -- it's game-changing. Step outside and you'll immediately be hit with the aroma of kababs grilling over open flames. I ordered the lamb tikka kabab with warm, fresh Afghan bread. The quality of the meat was fantastic. The tikka had that classic Afghan subtle seasoning though personally, I'd have loved just a touch more flavor. Still, very good with high quality meat. Speaking of bread, their bakery section is something else. The entire kitchen is visible, so you get to see the action as it happens. Giant ovens working non-stop, multiple dozens of Afghan breads baking at once, and a variety unlike anything I've seen elsewhere in the greater Seattle area. While I came for the food, I left impressed by so much more, afghan carpets, traditional clothing, clay pottery (and at reasonable prices!), crockery, imported spices, grains, oils, snacks... truly, they have everything. And this is just the beginning, i could see the butchery still on its way to be finished. Once fully set up, Queen Safa is well on its way to becoming the largest halal supermarket and deli in the Seattle area. With their in-house brand and growing presence, it's more than just a market, it's a brand emerging from the city itself. I know they recently became fully zabiha hand slaughtered halal, but please do your due diligence to confirm
