When asked to name a food-related spot on the corner of Hampden & Tower, one might immediately…read morethink of Pearl of Siam, or Royal Hilltop, or Taqueria Jalisco. But the Nigerian grocery known as African International Market is an equally worthy contender. Since I'm feeling a bit hungry at the moment, I'll begin by rhapsodizing about a few of the snacks you can find within the walls of AIM. If I really had to choose, I'd say that one of my favorite foods from Nigeria is Kilishi. Created by Hausa people in the country's north, this protein-y powerhouse consists of very thin slices of beef rubbed with a chile-peanut paste, then sun-dried. Very nearby, you can also avail yourself of some suitably smoky fish jerky. On the sweeter side, Chin-Chin is a variation of a snack found all over Africa under multiple names (a remarkably similar item is known in Ethiopia as Biskut). Specifically, it consists of nuggets of lightly-spiced-and-sugared wheat dough which are deep-fried to a luscious golden brown. But you have to have something to moisten all this with, and what's more fitting than Vitamalt? Yes, this Danish-in-origin (nonalcoholic) malt beverage is wildly popular in West Africa and available here in multiple flavors, including the "Plus" version with açai, aloe, and guaraná. But as tasty as these treats are, you'll find that AIM is also a convenient source for your Nigerian grocery needs. Have you ever tried Ukwa? These kernels of the African breadfruit tree are often cooked by the Igbo people (residing primarily in the country's southeast) into a super-nutritious porridge with palm oil, Ogiri (fermented locust beans), and just a dash of Akanwu (potash). In a similar vein, the market also sells the core components for several soups from Africa's most populous nation, including earthy Egusi (gourd seeds) and tangy Ogbono (bush mango kernels). In the mood to make either Akara or Fufu? AIM's shelves are lined with gargantuan sacks of (respectively) black-eyed pea and yam flours to enable you to do just that, so don't be shy - grab a couple! And of course, it seems like every West (and for that matter, Central) African market features an array of sweet, spicy, and savory plantain chips to choose from - and this one is certainly no exception. So go forth and see what else you can find here.

For less than what I'd spend at a restaurant, I was able to get everything I needed to get my berbere fix! I was a bit overwhelmed because I wanted so many things, but the guy up front (I didn't get his name ) was so awesome with recommendations and suggestions - plus he was all, you got this (cooking authentic Ethiopian food). I left feeling like I had everything I needed, and the food came out great! My wife and I even overate just like at the good Ethiopian restaurants we've been to. Can't wait to go back and get more spices and cookware/flatware! Go and ask questions and make good food - you got this!

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.

Even Mastika is available, and their stock gets bigger every time I drop in. I'll admit I sometimes visit just to say hello. They are friendly and eager to help me find what I'm looking for. I can highly recommend this very clean, well organized, meticulous store for your needs.
