“My husband and I drive 2 hours every few months to come to Reading Terminal Market just to stock up on several lbs of Halteman's maple breakfast sausages. It's that good. We come prepared with a cooler and easily meet the $10 minimum to get a discount on parking.
These sausages even smell good when they're still raw. You're excited to cook them because they smell so good. Then they fill your kitchen with a delicious maple aroma as they cook. And the taste is even better than the smell - the perfect balance of sweet and savory. We've shared these sausages with a number of friends and they all want to know where we got them.”
“We’ve been getting our kielbasa here since we were little kids. My mother and grandparents and aunts all grew up in the area and for any family function, holiday and New Year’s Eve we would always go here to get the smoked kielbasa to make kielbasa and sauerkraut. And I raised my kids on the same dishes. Especially making and getting their kielbasa from Swiacki Meats. Haven’t hat much time in between Christmas and now because I’ve been laid up going through cancer treatments between not feeling well and treatments and Dr appointments on Monday, sleeping all day yesterday, I will be making it to the shop today to get my kielbasa and sauerkraut, so I can make my Kielbasa, Sauerkraut, Pork and Potatoes. I can’t wait to eat that stuff tomorrow. Yumm Yumm Yummy. I will add some pictures as the cooking process progresses. ❤️❤️❤️”

“I ate at next door Gyro Spot. Food was delicious and server Gunes was great. She was so pleasant and friendly. I can recommend this place to my friends and anyone likes Turkish dishes.”
“grocery store meat quality is rapidly declining. kevin is a gift to this city. his products are always A++, and he'll deliver them to you no matter where you are.”
“Love it here, the food is so fresh and delicious! We tried the pastels and Coxinha. I'm not Brazilian, but we were welcomed like family. I even brought my daughters back the next day because they loved the food I brought home! The owner is so nice, she treated me like family and so is the manager. He is always so pleasant. We will be back again and again! The owner even recommended a nice hair conditioner for me to buy and it is one of my favorite products now. If I could give 10 stars, I would!”
“I ate a meatball hoagie from here in like 2011 that I still think about. I have never before or since found one that slapped that hard - could not believe those out-of-the-warming-pot meatballs and fresh sliced prov could make that magic but it did.Also tried my friend’s sandwich which was the Italian (as advertised, a true classic - hard to find them like that anywhere but the old delis now) but I was so lost in the sauce of the meatballs that it didn’t matter.Also, the guy behind the counter? So helpful, so kind, so clearly proud of the place and the product.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My husband and I just visited this halal meat market today and had an amazing experience. The shop was extremely clean, well-organized, and everything looked fresh and high quality. What truly stood out was the customer service. They were welcoming, respectful, and treated us like family from the moment we walked in.
It’s clear they take pride in both their products and how they serve the community. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this market to anyone looking for fresh halal meat and a warm, friendly atmosphere.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience!”
“This is a wonderful Middle-Eastern good market. It’s well stocked and clean. The staff are ALWAYS polite and very helpful in answering food questions. I enjoy discovering all the delicious different spices and food choices. Feels like a wonderful experience within your neighborhood!”
“Masha Allah my halal go to! Always clean, well stocked, courteous and patient staff, fresh meats, no meat smell when you walk in or through the store, that a big plus for me, I just would like knowledge of their shelf products so I could buy and use not just what I’m use to buying from the regular markets…. May Allah increase the good of their business Allahumma ameen”
“The freshest and cleanest cuts you will ever get! Wish I would have known about this place sooner! Please go! You won’t regret it! The owners are amazing! Super friendly and welcoming! Will be going every week!”
“I assume this is normal. I don't like the factor line is cross the street. If you enter the store without knowing line is cross the street. Everyone starts yelling. Basically, it's like the DMV line. Oh, meats are good. I will be back.”

“I wanted to replicate a Christmas pork roast I had eaten in Denmark and it required a rather specific cut of meat. I tried the butcher down the block first and was told they don’t do pre-orders or custom cuts. I wandered just a few doors down and had such a better experience- very friendly and very helpful. They had the exact cut I needed ready and waiting for me when pickup was scheduled and the butcher walked me through it- showing me the cut and confirming it was correct. It was a high quality piece of fresh meat and was enjoyed all around!”
“This place never disappoints! Whether you go in person to order or order online. I love giving this as a gift, & everyone who received this absolutely loved it. Thank you Omaha Steaks for always being consistent. Please don't change.”
“So the other day, I found myself in a totally innocuous conversation, with just some dude I run into every Sunday, and interact for approx 1.5 mins..conversation was about how difficult it is to find turkey legs and thigh bones this time of year (I know, kinda weird conversation to have, don't judge), other than what you get on a whole turkey, which tend to be on the smaller size, turns out to be the owner of Giunta Butcher shop in Reading Terminal Market, and he has these delivered to my house...just like Oprah kinda used to say " you get to have a turkey roulade, everybody gets to have turkey roulade this year"...these things are massive, and the price, what some people look for in reviews, insanely reasonable, couldn't be more happier!!”
“Been shopping here since I was living in Philly but I've been living in Johnstown for going on 7yrs and still try to make it there the beginning of the month but now I haven't been now because yhey haven't been open for months... WHEN WILL YALL BE BACK OPEN”
“I see a review about out of date products on shelves. Most of these stores are run by families and it’s very labor intensive and sometimes have not put time aside to around checking expiry dates on products. The suppliers to these stores are often also very deceitful and they deliver the products which have already expired and unless the owner of the shop checks every box they are unlikely to catch the culprit suppliers who do this on purpose as they have a huge stock sitting on shelves for a very long time and they want to cheat the small store owner instead of getting rid of their out of date products .”
“It was very clean, very friendly and had exactly what I was looking for which was some marinated fajita skirt steak haven't tried the skirt steak yet but I'm hoping it's going to be good”

“I love the friendly atmosphere when you order in. The food is good and when you order over the phone the food gets here nice and fast and be hot like they just took it off the stove.”
“Al-Salam Food Market has been my go-to halal market for years. The quality of the halal meat and groceries is consistently fresh and very clean. They are respectful and truly care about their customers. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a trustworthy halal market.”
“I've been purchasing their sausage, particularly their turkey and chicken sausages. They have a very wide selection. Customer service has been good even when they are quite busy.”
“While many people are quick to leave negative reviews, satisfied customers often stay silent. I purposely drive out of my way to visit this place, despite it being far from my home. The quality of their meat alone is unmatched - I've tried other places, but I always return here because nothing else compares.The workers focus on their jobs rather than making small talk with customers. It's important to understand that not everyone speaks English fluently, as this is an international market, not a typical American grocery store. For me, this place is exceptional. What starts as a trip to buy one item inevitably turns into a cart full of international products, which are, in my experience, the finest available in the market.”

“This was a very professional system and order from the get go. We ordered our lamb? in advance 7 days and was given a time frame to pickup the meat on the first which was today on our receipt. Owner and workers were very helpful in locating our lamb selection and were very courteous in asking how we lke the slaughter cut done. Thank you Al Baraka for a memorable experience and organice eggs ?. We definitely happy to have found this place ?”

“I was very excited my first time in this market. It was extremely packed in there. It was so worth it. Fresh veggies and fruit. A large variety of asian ingredients.
I was originally there for ingredients to make dumplings, but ended up buying so much more. I got ingredients to all kinds of favorite dishes and made them at home. It was so much better than I thought it'd be.
There's a great meat and fish selection there as well. More surprising was how much live options they offered. Especially the giant frogs that made me jump out my skin lol
The staff were friendly and helpful. It was an experience I need to make more often. Safe to say I will be back to try making more dishes from asian cuisine recipes. I definitely recommend this market ?”
“Great selections of Goat and the meat selection was available and fresh. there is also so many options in this area for fresh Vegetables as well. Great service by the way!”
