    5 stars for Park to Shop Supermarket!…read more This is a huge Asian grocery store when you can get a ton of groceries at much lower prices than you'd find them at a Jewel for example. This store is also cheaper than H-Mart for a lot of stuff as well if you're familiar with that grocery store. There is also a small food court inside, a couple of clothing/kitchenware and skincare stores inside, as well as massage chairs! A really cool place to check out if you're looking for lower prices on Asian items.

    Great Asian grocer in Niles with competitive prices. I've had hit or miss experiences with the…read moreproduce freshness, so I would be careful just to see what's in season (or what is imported, etc.) For example, these tangerines looked awesome, but when I had one at home, it was surprisingly dry and not at all juicy with a ton of seeds. Upon further inspection, it was produced in Australia (the long journey probably resulted in less freshness). However, I've had great luck with the Asian pears and most of the vegetables we bought here. I think it just depends on what you're looking for! Once you head out of the produce section, there's a great ready-made food area with everything from bento meals to breakfast favorites. This area is also where they have offered free tasters of dumplings and noodles in the past. Right past here are beverage aisles, frozen and refrigerated foods, then shelf stable items. Fresh fish and meats can be found along the very back of the restaurant. I'm particularly partial to the huge drink aisle where I've found everything from papaya milk to zero sugar sodas. Great selection of a ton of brands. You'll find similar impressive variety in their other aisles. Checkout is pretty simple afterwards with a traditional cashier, and as you leave, there is a great food court with a ton of different choices. The parking lot is a little hectic, but I would just make sure to take the back exits rather than the ones off the main road: it'll take forever if you want to turn left (since there are no traffic lights or signs for oncoming traffic).

    "Food is a central activity of mankind and one of the single most significant trademarks of a…read moreculture." Mark Kurlansky It is my mission while I am residing in the northwest Chicago suburbs to submerse myself in the cultural treasure trove around me and experience as much as I can, as fast as I can. Finding the best and most authentic international groceries (and conversing with the owners and patrons inside) is one of the best means to do this, I have found. On my way to Assi (a Korean grocery), I saw the Zander Import Groceries sign with the curious winged lion. "Another time," I thought. But, it ate at me while I was shopping at Assi. So, I read a few Yelp reviews in the parking lot and decided to endure the six o'clock traffic on Milwaukee Ave and drive back there. The reviews said bread and pickles, try the bread and pickles. That was the mission. I believe it not chance that Zander was grinding fresh Turkish Coffee beans for another customer as I walked in. The smell was inviting and immediately perked me up. Now I know I'll come back when I have coffee drinking guests to entertain. There are plenty of good Indian, Pakistani, and Persian stores within a few miles of Zander Import Groceries, but Zander earns his relevance due to certain specific Assyrian goods he offers. The breads are acquired from bakeries in Skokie and Chicago, and the quality is good. The lavash was particularly nice, but the heavily floured crust left me wanting some of that coffee to wash it down. The Assyrian bread had a great bite and reminded me of a doughnut without sugar. (Does that make sense?) A kind gentleman patron directed me to a spicy homemade pickle of cabbage, carrot, and spices. I must say, it was delicious and I hope my husband loves it as much as I do. Zander also had some imported pickles and olives which looked fascinating. There were other staples, too, as you can see from my photos. This shop is definitely needed and earns its place with some unique offerings. I enjoyed my pickles and bread, and will have what is left of them to accompany an eggplant dish I am making tomorrow night. Brittney Tun Food Writer and Culinary Enthusiast
