Lebanon is one of a trio of Lebanese delicatessens on Kingsway, which offers to meet 'all of your…read moreArabic household needs'. Their focus on the Lebanese/Arab niche also makes this a worthwhile destination for the serious foodie, both for the range of unique goods and also the strong Arab cultural vibe to welcome and inspire you. When I visited, it was staffed by a timid, veiled Arab girl, for whom my Scottish accent and loud personality were just too much! No problem, this gave me a chance of some banter with the whiskery main man, who came out from behind his halal butcher's counter where he had been busy spicing meats. I walked out with a dozen items - saffron, za'atar, rosepetal jam, date syrup, dolmades. Here you have not one, but half a dozen choices of each of za'atar, tahini, dolmades, vine leaves, floral waters. A can of dolmades is a easy way to add another mezze to your Arab feast. Many of the other items combine to provide a whole palette of mild but interesting flavours unique to the region, which I would recommend as having a broad appeal to most palates. They stock the widely-available El-Ammar khoubz wraps, which seems to be the biggest Arab bakery in Manchester, and very fresh bread too since they are local. I had already planned on lunch in Rusholme, but as it was getting late I decided to have dessert in advance - a takeaway selection of Lebanese date rolls, coconut slice and others, all very nourishing and energising when eaten in moderation whilst waiting at the bus stop! It is less of a trek than you might think to get out there, easily reached on the frequent 50 bus service from Parrs Wood, itself easily accessible from the Oxford Road corridor. Other than these Lebanese delis, I'm not sure that Burnage is much of a destination although I have an idea there are some OK restaurants - message me if you can recommend any! However, for Lebanese restaurants and takeaways, Rusholme is the main concentration.

Beirut Store is another of the three Lebanese delis on Kingsway, see my review of Lebanon for a…read moregeneral idea of what Beirut sell http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/lebanon-manchester#hrid:mZMEU0Hocvjpedxvz2BN1Q However, each of the three delis has its own unique draws. But the main differentiating factor between the three is that Beirut, like Lebanon, is a halal butchers, whereas Sinbad is no butcher but is an OK greengrocers. Beirut is also an importer, and there is more of a young, lively, ambitious feel here - if there was some Arab item that you couldn't find here or if you needed B2B Arab supplies, it could be worth speaking to these people. Check their website and my photos. I'm giving them three stars, as I'm confident that they are *at least* A-OK as I've only visited once and not really shopped here due to having filled my bag at Lebanon. One thing I am very grateful to this place for is that they introduced me to Pastry House, the Lebanese bakery on Rusholme - thank you, guys!

Customer service is amazing and you could find most middle eastern groceries here loved it.read more

All of their products are tasty and authentically made in the traditional ways. I don't know how amenable they are to general public turning up for bargains, but it's got to worth a 'phone call.

I absolutely love this place. As a vegetarian and lover of healthy and organic foods I was in my…read moreelement. When you first get in there is an abundance of brightly coloured vegetables and potatoes and carrots that are still dirty (always a good sign). I knew I was in my kind of place straight away. I love that they try to keep packaging to a minimum, using paper bags for the fresh vegetables. There is a huge range of vegetarian products (more tofu than you could ever need...if that's even a thing), seitan and tempeh in all different forms. I love how their dried foods are all packaged in simple bags with their label on....gotta love no fuss packaging. There is also a deli counter ranging from olives, onion bhajis and daals. I tried an onion bhaji and it was amazing. Although pricier than most supermarkets, I thought the prices were reasonable (being used to Wholefoods etc. in London) for organic, fresh produce and I love that it is a co-operative. I would definitely rather pay more for local produce that isn't mass-produced. I will definitely be shopping here regularly.

Amazed by this place…read more I haven't seen anywhere like it since my travels to Portland. It has a real community atmosphere. Everyone involved, from the growers to the staff to the people shopping, care and it really shows. It's honest. It's exactly where you want to buy your vegetables. There's soil on the fresh produce. Actual soil. No cellophane, no unnecessary packaging, no nonsense - just tasty, local food. The shelves are clearly labelled and well stocked with interesting offerings. They have your staples - potatoes, all the usual veg, cereals, spices, fruits as well as some more unusual choices when/if it's in season. Prices are reasonable and when you pay you feel like you're contributing - something you never experience in a chain supermarket. There's a play area for kids and free apples to keep them occupied - with a little compost bin for the cores. A big green thumbs up.
