Let me take my shoes off before i start (arabic habits) :…read more Apparently this place is TikTok famous. I wouldn't know, I remain a proud TikTok virgin. But I have dated enough white school teachers who "love ethnic food" to hear about this place roughly 86 times, so eventually I had to pull up and investigate. And of course i had to trust the gals the eat taco bell at 2 am post 12 shots. Let's start with the "chicken shawarma," which is ,with respect: about five miles away from an actual shawarma. This is not a shawarma. This is a chicken sandwich that identifies as shawarma. The chicken is okay but a little dry, the flavor is playing hide and seek, and by the time you get home the sandwich has the structural stability of wet cardboard. Also, the vegetables are cut like someone lost a bet and had to chop them blindfolded. Overall? Fine. Would I order it again? Probably not. But given Nashville's current shawarma economy, I understand why some folks are acting like they discovered Atlantis. Personally, I daydream about real shawarma the way people daydream about winning the lottery, or the way poets dream about lost love (in my case that one girl in 8th grade) I also tried the mixed plate (rice, lentil soup, and three meats: kabab, chicken, and beef tikka): Rice: solid. Honest work. Lentil soup: extremely shy. Needs seasoning, confidence, and maybe therapy. Also a bit oily. Chicken: dry enough to file paper work with. Beef tikka: actually pretty good, respect where respect is due. Kabab: could use more garlic, onion, and emotional support. Didn't see a health inspection score posted, and the place could definitely level up on the cleanliness side, nothing terrifying, just not sparkling either. The bald uncle behind the counter is a little dismissive and chaotic, but the man looks like he has personally witnessed several historical events, so I'm choosing compassion. They do carry a wide variety of Arabic groceries and halal raw meats (which I personally can't buy because I'm allergic, tragic and traumatic storyline), and honestly they should give discounts to school teachers because those are the main people marketing this place harder than the actual owners. Not terrible, not life changing. If this is your first shawarma, you'll be impressed. If you grew up eating shawarma, you'll drive home in silence thinking, "we as a society can do better." And also need to be more politically correct naming foods but alas.

Still a good price though compared to Banh Mi's from other restaurants. Their selection of snacks, ramen, and frozen items have grown though, which is awesome. I feel like i find something new every time. The ambience hasn't changed, it's an Asian grocery store that happens to also make great Banh Mi's every day and other dishes on the weekend. It's quick, reliable, and easy to get to with parking.

Interasian Market and Deli has become my go-to grocery store in the city, and it's easy to see why…read more Though it's a small, unassuming store, it's packed with an impressive variety of products, making it a hidden gem for anyone who loves Asian cuisine or is looking for specialty ingredients. The store offers everything you could possibly need for cooking authentic Asian dishes, from a wide selection of condiments and sauces to canned Asian vegetables, fresh produce, and a large variety of noodles. Whether you're in the mood for instant noodles or looking to experiment with a new type of noodle, this place has options galore. The store also has a well-stocked frozen section with items like dumplings, seafood, and frozen vegetables. You can also find essential cooking equipment, making it easy to stock your kitchen with everything necessary for Asian-inspired meals. One of the standout features of Interasian Market is the high quality of the fresh produce. I've been particularly impressed with their selection of mushrooms, mint, and Thai basil. These ingredients are consistently fresh, and they elevate the flavors of any dish you prepare. The market also offers canned lychees, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and raw jackfruit, which are not always easy to find elsewhere. These ingredients are perfect for cooking a wide variety of Asian dishes and bring authenticity to the flavors. Another thing I love about this market is how affordable everything is. It's incredibly economical, making it a great option for those who want to explore Asian cooking without breaking the bank. The gentleman who runs the store is always polite, friendly, and eager to help if you have any questions or need assistance finding something specific. His customer service really adds to the welcoming atmosphere of the store. In addition to all the grocery items, the store offers freshly made Banh Mi sandwiches, which I've heard great things about. I haven't had the chance to try one yet, but I've noticed many customers visiting specifically for these sandwiches, so it's definitely something I'll be trying next time. The fresh Banh Mi sandwiches add another layer of appeal to the store, making it not only a great place to shop but also a spot to grab a delicious meal. The only minor drawback is that the store doesn't accept cards, so be sure to bring cash when you visit. While this is a bit of an inconvenience, it's a small price to pay for the fantastic selection and reasonable prices. Overall, Interasian Market and Deli is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Asian cooking or wants to try new ingredients. With its incredible variety, fresh produce, and friendly service, it's easily my favorite grocery store in the city.

I'm extremely glad I decided to check some of them out--especially this one--and I'm sure I'll keep going back. La Vaquita is stocked with all sorts of seemingly random items--edible, decorative and more. They have a huge selection of those really cool, iconic religious candles with various saints on them. I got one with Santisima Muerte, or Saint Death, for just $2. La Vaquita also stocks a lot of tasty Mexican drinks you can't get at most places (think Jumex, et cetera). They also carry dozens of pinatas and dried peppers, fruits and vegetables. I really like the variety of items places like this have. Unlike Anglo (?) supermarkets, places like La Vaquita carry everything from clothes to food to decorations, and nothing is expensive. I recommend checking La Vaquita out; expand your horizons a little bit.

I've never had any issues with my Spanish being so poor as there is always someone there who can translate for me or most workers there speak English well. There are plenty of other items here as well - there are paletas, plenty of dried peppers and spices, queso blanco, Mexican Cokes and other goodies that I miss from Texas. All in all, a great little mercado.
