“they always have fresh produce and amazing meat selection never had any problems with any of the food the tamales are amazing literally the best in north highlands for tamales the salsas are hella good the place is always clean and the staff is always so nice. Yes the menus are in Spanish but it is a Mexican meat market so I wouldn’t have it any other way very authentic and always so respectful to customers love this place”

“I had an amazing experience at Khyber Market! The store is always clean, organized, and full of high-quality Afghan products that are hard to find anywhere else. The halal meat is fresh, the bakery items are delicious, and the variety of spices, drinks, and groceries reminds me of home. The staff are very kind, respectful, and always willing to help customers find what they need. The customer service makes you feel welcomed like family. If you’re looking for authentic Afghan food and a great shopping experience, I highly recommend Khyber Market!”

“The selection is amazing. Every cut of beef & pork I wanted was there. They had lamb as well and venison, bison and some other birds besides Chicken. I didn't check for organ meat this time. I love beef heart it just wasn't on the list. They did have lobster. It's hard to find lobster at more 3 ounces per tail. I bought 2 tails, 7-8 oz each. Very good and reasonable price for lobster. Reasons for 4* instead of 5*. 1) they advertise duck & goose, I didnt see any and the staff was very busy so I didn't ask. I wanted to get a goose this year for thanksgiving. (I'll have to call ahead.) 2) I can't afford this place more than once or twice a year on a splurge. I was hoping it was going to be my 'go to' place for ALL my meat but I just can't swing it . I will definitely go back again tho...”

Natomas Fabrics & Groceries – 3291 Truxel Rd #18, Sacramento, CA

I love this hidden gem in Natomas! Although it’s called a fabrics store, it's now a thriving Pakistani / Indian / Fijian grocery with authentic halal meat and everyday essentials that cater perfectly to our diverse community.

? What I appreciate most:

Fresh, high-quality halal meat—always ready and often even prepared before I arrive . The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, especially “Brother Rauf,” who always recommends great cuts .

Wide variety of groceries—from dals, rice, spices, to Fijian staples. Everything you need for authentic home-cooked meals .

Nice ambiance—the store is clean, well-lit, and organized, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for .

Convenient and efficient service—orders are ready fast, and payment options (like Apple Pay) make checkout a breeze .

Tasty extras—don’t miss their spicy potato samosas, a local favorite that never disappoints .

? Final thoughts:
If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, authentic Desi grocery experience, this is it. Whether you’re stocking up on spices, buying halal meat, or craving Fijian specialties, everything is under one roof.
