“Everything is very good in the store and everyone is friendly, there is just something that is not right, whenever I pay with EBT they check the receipt I think it is to see the amount I have because when I pay with the normal card they only throw the receipt in the bag and I've already noticed that other people do it too and it's not right.”
“Excellent service, quality meats and cooking - this place is my jam! It's some delightful barbecuing of chicken, lamb, veggies, and steak. I like the lamb and chicken skewers and they are reasonably priced. Servings are well-proportioned as 3 chicken skewers and 2 veggie ones lasted for about 10 days for me so budget friendly. It's a clean and orderly establishment, with a plethora of spices, cookies, teas, oil, etc. It has a front parking lot to make it convenient for you to load hot trays back home to enjoy with friends and family. Chocolate baklava is to die for!
Dietary restrictions: Halal food, it’s delish!
Kid-friendliness: Clean and orderly with courteous staff.”
“What a deal, Taco Tuesday $1.49 each. Though, they only offer it at that price for the Al Pastor. Other meats charged at regular price. Seasoned well and not dry at all. They ask you for your taco, "with everything?" which is spicy salsa, diced onions, & cilantro. They serve it with sliced radishes and lime wedges. I also got an agua fresca canteloupe - always refreshing and delicious!”
“Always have great finds for all your Latin American products. Love grabbing all my favorite sweets and the Butcher is clean and has great meat selection! Never had a bad experience”
“Check out FreshMeatFactory! This spot is super clean with fresh, tender meat: chicken, goat, seafood—you name it. The staff is chill and helpful. Perfect for your next meat haul! ?”
“Small store but great prices, I came for Piloncillo and walked around the whole store multiple times before I realized it was up front. Looks like they also had a nice deli section!”
“I always purchased from Genes Mkt. One day I asked the butcher where they got them from...the rest is history. When you see and enter the shop it's like out of a scene from The Soprano's. They have the glass cases, the refrigerator storeroom in the back, and the processing area to the left. Very minimal, old school. The best. I always place my order ahead of time and they have it ready. Hot or mild, in the casing or bulk. Family run and owned. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You will be kicking yourself in the butt for not knowing about them sooner. Oh, by the way, the sausages are delicious !!”

“Always best place to grab groceries when in a hurry. Slightly disappointed when I asked a question regarding the usage of my EBT card and what I received where mug faces from both cashier's. But still it's a great store.”
“I went to check out Dosirak (Lunch Box), the new menu at Angus. A choice of protein, awesome quality rice, soup, gim and a variety of side dishes were awesome ensemble. I like to give them extra stars for generous portion of Korean style egg omelette roll and pan fried spam - these are essential to an authentic “Korean” lunch box. It was a very satisfying meal in many ways.”
“This is my Friday goat biryani place to go to. Great people with great service. I wish they make the lamb chops again. Last time I came the guy told me they don't make it anymore”
“Family owned business. Pricey but what isnt now in days. Carnitas on a Saturday morning are the best. Dried beef jerky, also thr best. Get it by the pound. Produce is OK.”
“The goat biryani is excellent. I drive all the way from Los Altos to pick it up. Have earned lots of brownie points for giving it to friends who don't want to drive 50 miles round-trip to pick it up.”
“They opened again after a year of hiatus. Convenient place to get fresh and high quality chicken/duck in bay area. The staff was super friendly and willing to get me small stuff (onion/lemon) that is not for sale there. Highly recommend!”

“Pretty good market. A lot of food from all over Latin America including blood sausage. Staff is friendly and everything is pretty straight forward. They have a few items you really can't find at most markets so it's worth. Prices is fair and parking is decent overall.”
“I didn't find what I was looking for but I went to another store...but the store is good, only the parking lot is very full because of the other businesses...”
“Meat is good and they have decent variety of spices and other desi stuff. The new kid at the counter is super nice but one of the staff member is quite rude, some times he deals at the meat area.”
“This place is not as bad as other "Yelpers" are making it to be, however this place can use a slight face-lift. It's not necessarily a place to do your full blown shopping. Items that are "popular" to the so called American customers and not so much to the Brown Indigenous (Native American/Mexican,etc) yes those items will obviously be outdated. I mainly go there for the queso fresco Mexicano and purple corn tortilla and at times I get other items that are likely to be in high demand GET IT. For example I won't go to an "Asian" market to look for tortilla or Tapatio hot sauce WHY because I know at that particular store it's not in HIGH DEMAND!!!!”
“The best pakistani food in town, owner shaffi is very nice and very kind with his customers, they did not refuse giving us biryani even when we arrived late to his shop”
“If you're looking for a halal Middle Eastern grocery store, Baraka Halal Market is one of the top choices in the area. I regularly shop there for meat, chicken, vegetables, fruits, spices, and nuts, and I’ve always been impressed by the quality. Recently, they've expanded their selection to include a wider range of fresh fruits and vegetables. They even carry some unique items like dishes and Chinese, kettles and so on. Their prices are reasonable, and their nuts, especially the walnuts, are delicious. The fruits are consistently fresh and tasty. The store also features a butcher offering a variety of meats, along with different types of cheese and dairy products. The staff, Munir, Homayoon, and two Mohammeds are incredibly welcoming, kind, and always ready to help. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area!”
“You have to go to buy some snacks here, 1.99 for a bag of chips and less than 1.99 for a popsicle. Alright service, good price for regular things, they never restock. I live near and it's perfect.”
