It is a joy to live near by, open 365 days of the year, 8am to 10pm without fail. Organic vegetables, tomatoes bursting with colour and flavour. They have a large delicatessen where they have a large selection of olives, Halal meats and cheeses , and make their own Turkish bread on site too. It all has a lovely smell of when you walk in. They have absolutely everything that a Turksih Chef would need. My family shop here virtually everyday to get bread and other certain thing they might need for whatever is being cooked. For quantity, it is by no means competition for any large supermarket chains, but as for quality, it definitely is. It is a regular for me.

Alas, most British butchers or supermarkets only offer the usual watered-down hams, which have lost all of the interesting flavours. Here at Poziomka you can find literally dozens of different kinds of hams, sausages and other meaty treats. But not only that, this is a clean and well-sorted paradise for all things considered Eastern European: buttermilk, pickles, cabbage rolls and various kinds of sweets that you wouldn't find at your typical Tesco. I love coming here and just browsing through the shelves and finding things that I had grown up with, but had somehow forgotten about. (Polish and German share quite a bit of food heritage.)

So of course when I moved to the area I was very excited to try some Sri Lankan that's so highly acclaimed. Especially since Watford lacks in independent restaurants. So I drove over one Friday night as it's takeaway or delivery only. There is very little chance of getting parking in the vicinity so bare that in mind. The food - I ordered a Sri Lankan type of roll which was on display on the counter (can't remember what it was called) which I ate as I waited for the rest of my food. He heated it up in the microwave which was immediately off putting, and when he handed it to me, it was greasy, soggy and cold in the middle. Next, the curries which we had once we got home. I asked the gentleman to recommend two curries, one fish and one chicken. The fish curry was a white fish which usually works in curries but in this instance it was super watery and very fishy. Usually you can enjoy the sauce with the rice at least but it was literally like fish soup. Gross. The chicken curry had a slightly better flavour but there were so many bones to pick out that it made it a hassle to eat. I've never known a piece of chicken to have that many bones, they were all small and thin. Ick. I'll settle for a traditional curry house next time.

They often win against Mr Christian's across the road simply for keeping their doors open later.

So I stick to the front and lunchtime treats to take away. It's all a bit on the dear side, definitely catering for the yummy mummy fraction in the neighbourhood.

This place came soooo close to eating in Lebanon. I was absolutely mind blowing impressed! We ordered the Akawi cheese manousheh, kafta and cheese, baked egg and kawarma and baked egg and sujuk. I only tried the cheese manousheh and kafta and cheese and let me tell you, the flavors were so delicious and so authentic. The cheese was the right kind used in Lebanon and although the dough was slightly different I was in love with it. I like thin crust and this crust was thin and it did not harden but remained soft and delicious. The kafta was outstanding! They topped it with pickles, tomatoes and parsley and wow ! I've never eaten it this way and I refuse to eat it any other way now. We ended up ordering two more cheese manousheh to take on the road and they were yummy even hours later. I am now back home in LA and really miss this place. I recommend you go and try it!

Even "normal" products have a significant markup. The bagels - which are the main reason I went- were fine but beigel bake on brick lane and Papo's in Dalston were far better. The staff are very snooty and as I was leaving without purchasing anything eyed me down as if I was stealing. I had never experienced it and I was shocked if I admit. Overall - if you need a niche product that's only sold here it's fine, but it's not a feasible "everyday" shopping store nor is it worth the prices.

I'm quite excited about this Lebanese grocery store/market/salad bar/shawarma shop…read more Upon entering, I always feel like stepping into a different world - with spice jars, different kinds of baklava piled up, exotic fruits and vegetables, foreign packages, and the big salad bar in the back of the store that showcases all kinds of mezze and salads (where in London can you find palm-heart salad?) Granted, I came here with two colleagues of mine and they said that their shawarma wrap was inedible, as the meat was too chewy. So, maybe you should shy away from the wraps - but please, go crazy on the mezze: ask them to put together a box of different kinds, take them with you to the office and have a little bit of Lebanon in your cubicle!
