Friendly staff. Eager to help. Nice selection of Syrian/Middle Eastern food, treats, and sweets…read more One of my favorite things is that they have packages of the large sized Syrian Bread. The bread is superbly soft, perfectly flat, and easily opened to stuff goodies inside. Brush (a lot) of olive oil on the top of one loaf and cover it with za'atar, pop it in the oven until warm, and you will have the best Syrian "pizza!" Absolute best part is that a package of 6 loaves is less than $3! Can't find that in the grocery stores! Highly recommended this store. It's small, but filled with lots of tasty food.

They have all the ingredients you could ever need and you will pay much, much less than the specialty shops in the heart of downtown Baltimore. If you want authentic ingredients with great prices and excellent service visit KoKo market. The two gentlemen who manage the place are so helpful and will make recommendations for those of you just starting out with this type of cuisine. Oh and for you Hookah lovers, let me tell you I am a connoisseur and you can't beat their selection. They even have a hookah room set aside with all the supplies, tobacco and charcoal you will ever need. You would have to fly to Egypt or Morocco to beat their prices. Only downside is parking can be a challenge on a busy day.

The ambiance of the store is also great

It was love at first sight for me and this grocer…read more Jeremy and I had our very first date at an Indian restaurant. Neither of us had any idea what Indian food tasted like, but we have always been pretty adventurous, especially when it comes to food. That first date was all it took for us. We've been inseparable since that fateful evening. He's been on a kick where he's learning to make Chinese food at home, and was looking for thai bird chilis. However, it's about an hour drive to the closest Asian grocery now that they knocked down our beloved Golden Bridge. So I thought, hey, maybe we can find an Indian grocery because they are legit Asian, and even though the food seems very different than Chinese, they do use a lot of the same ingredients. Anyone who has accidentally ordered "indian spice" level hot when ordering Butter Chicken (for example) knows that they use some MAJOR peppers in their dishes. Plus, we drive passed this spot all the time, and I've been wanting to check it out for over a year. It's a mecca. It's HUGE, with decently wide aisles, and about a gazillion Indian products that I have never seen before, but NEED to explore. We got the peppers that we needed, and could not resist buying a pint of what seems to be rose-flavored ice cream (I haven't had a chance to taste it yet, but I looked up the name and discovered that there's an Indian dessert that features NOODLES, rose ice cream, basil... my brain is intrigued!) and dehydrated whole lemons (which apparently can be rehydrated, or grated as is, used in teas, and a bunch of other things). They also have a lovely selection of religious icons. I collect those, so I'm going to have to go back for a Ganesha (elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, scribes, and authors. His name means both "Lord of the People" (gana means the common people) and "Lord of the Ganas" (Ganesha is the chief of the ganas, the goblin hosts of Shiva). Ganesha is potbellied and generally depicted as holding in his hand a few round Indian sweets, of which he is inordinately fond. Ganesha has the ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. Ganesha is a remover of obstacles.) Now Jeremy is thinking of expanding his cooking skills to include more Indian dishes. I can't wait until he masters a Korma! Totally recommend!
