“This store is amazing! Great selection of everything including really good vegan cheeses from Greece. All of their prepared salads are 10/10 ( have tried them all but really love the lentil one, the mixed bean and pasta).
Their inhouse bakery is stellar!! The spinach and meat fatayer are the best i have ever has and I try them everywhere. Pastries and cookies are delicious. Hats off to the cooks and bakers!!”
“One of the newest Turkish and middle eastern market which provides myriad varieties of foods including most prestigious Baklava stores f the city. Staff are friendly and helpful. Parking spot is enough for customers to shop and taste some delicious appetizers.”
“I've had an experience when I came to the store and the owner was taking in deliveries at the back close to 6PM, and had left his mobile number at the front door, I called it and he promptly came in to serve me, so I'm not sure what that one star review is talking about...
Every time I've come here I've had exceptional service and the best ingredients that literally remind me of home. I do most of my grocery shopping here. Thank you for the best Palm oil in town by the way :))”
“I rank Shiraz the best Iranian supermarket in Ottawa. Manager is so friendly and helpful. You can find most of the imported products from Iran in there with very reasonable price.”
“Interesting store that I will definitely visit more as I try out new things. If I may offer some constructive comments though, you should work on the appearance of the store.
It's very dark in the aisles (compared to most other stores) and the shelves are kinda in disarray in some places (not everywhere mind you but the noodles found in two of the aisles were a bit unsorted and kinda thrown on the shelf, the canned goods were all straight and proper though). A bit of extra light and straightening up the product from time to time would go a long way.
They've got an interesting selection of many things you won't find in Western markets, the prices are reasonable, and staff very polite and friendly to chat with.
Worth the visit if you want to try new foods.”
“I have been to the store multiple times now always met by Oliver who is very knowledgeable, offering personalized recommendations and expert advice, willing to help you from the moment you walk in the store till when you leave. will definitely be coming back”
“Sometimes am in the area it's nice to stop in after a long ng day at work they have lots a new fun ideas I'll stop in someday soon to see more great shopping experiences ?”
“Love the spaciousness of the store.
Vitamins are by displayed by name/function so nice to be able to compare the various brands by name.
Thank you to the knowledgeable staff that can guide in making the right choice for you for your need.
Liquid, capsules, pills, gummies, powder so many options to choose from.”
“If you have some cravings for something you experienced in Japan, or just want to try something new, there’s a good variety here. I appreciated that they kept the boss coffee in stock!”
“I love this little grocery store. Awesome selection of Thai ingredients as well. I always go in when I want to cook Thai recipes that night. They always have fresh produce at a good price as well..”

“Can’t say enough good things about this store.
There are no grocery stores in walking distance of this neighbourhood. Thankfully, Abbas Grocery keeps its shelves stocked with all the basics, as well as fresh produce and a number of other important household items. It’s also very affordable (in a time where major grocery stores jack up their prices at will) and the staff are all wonderful. Every one of them, owner included, are friendly and helpful.
Some weeks, I’m in this store almost every day, and that doesn’t bother me at all. Happy to support this business and can safely say living in this neighbourhood would be much more difficult without it.”
“Everything we have purchased from the Piggy Market has been delicious, and great quality! Love their sausages, meats, cheeses & baked goods. We have purchased their breads, donuts & pies many times (always so tasty!) and we most recently tried their coconut/apricot bars, which were out of this world. And I feel like a sleeper hit is their homemade chili crisp. AMAZING! I also really appreciate that everything is nut free- as someone with a nut allergy, it's so rare to be able to go into a nice food shop, and be able to get anything I want. Thank you!!”
“The grills have a distinctive taste, the cleanliness is excellent, the staff is classy, the prices are encouraging, even the prices of market products are much better than the market.
It deserves 5 stars honestly.”
“Very friendly staff. Even though it’s small, always clean and organized. They have a great selection for such a small store. The pricing is unmatched, they have the best pricing out of all the stores around. The produce is decent. The food smells good even though i haven’t eaten any. Again, the staff are always positive and kind. Great place”
“There is no such lard as in this store anywhere, there are simply no such fruits in other stores. Even the vaunted Costco is taking a break, we don’t go there anymore, only to Produce Depot!”

“A clean and bright supermarket brand. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, it also has groceries and ready-to-eat meals. After purchasing, you can eat in the seating area inside. The lunch box and self-service selection weighing and pricing area for various dishes are all very friendly. The service mode is that you can eat when you buy it, which is very convenient for travelers. Recommended!”
“Produce is great as usual. The bakery was very well stocked with more tempting items than I could resist. Their plant based offerings are expanding which are great for those with dairy/egg allergies as well as vegans.”

“I came in to grab some fresh goat meat but I left with my belly full of awesome fresh food. I didn’t realize this place had take out food but I tried their sandwich and it tasted heavenly.
A true hidden underrated gem of Ottawa”
“Domestics food is an institution. Hadi treats customers as if they were family. A Chocolate Bar selection second to none, Faygo Soda, & a stocked freezer of Ben & Jerry's, what more could you want.”

“Good experience. The customer service is impeccable and attentive to its customers once there. On the other hand, prices can be high for a newcomer who does not yet have a lot of means?”
“One of my favourite stores. Amazing cheese collection. Cured meats crackers jams pastas cooking tools pots pans and the list is endless. Staff always so friendly and helpful.”
“Every week, I make sure to visit Farm Boy because it’s impossible to resist! The cozy atmosphere, friendly and smiling staff always make me want to come back. Everything here is top-notch: cleanliness, order, and the confidence that you’ll always get help and advice. The employees are true professionals, making every visit special. This is a place you genuinely want to return to time and time again. I love this store for its care and friendliness, which you feel from the very first moment.”
“I recently visited this Stittsville farmboy location , and I was thoroughly impressed! The store is well-organized, making it easy to find everything I needed. The produce section is fresh and stocked with a great variety. I got variety of salads and they were delicious! The staff is friendly was ready to help with a smile. Plus, the checkout process was quick and efficient. This is definitely my go-to spot for all my grocery needs! A big thank you to the Manager and Edmund from the produce department for assisting me with a smooth transaction on my large order of lettuce purchase.”
“This is the best little corner store ever I was living in aylmer and I met this little corner store owner that was really nice and took the time to listen to me and to help me go through some little moments just when I was passing by and here I am in Gatineau thinking I saw this guy before 15 years ago bu it's his brother still going really cute little business they have going on. They have really good prices and they're really nice”
“The restaurant did not cook the food. If you look at the reviews, they say they serve Jjajangmyeon and Jjambbong, but they don't do that anymore. Kimbap and kimchi were delicious and cheap. It was okay and I parked in front of the store for a while and made a purchase.”
“Mid store. It’s the same as Loblaws but even higher prices like wth?! Didn’t buy anything. Edit: found value sized lays chips for three bucks, staff hates me for running around tho.”

“They simply carry all the south asian groceries we need. Always has friendly service. Would be going there much more frequently if they were closer to where we live and the parking during the day being difficult in bank street.”
“This place is a local gem. I heard Kaz Kitchen had changed ownership recently and decided to check it out since it has been a few months of disappointment with what was in the shelves. The new owner was so kind and immediately wanted to know what I was looking for and promised to stock it up for me. A couple days later, she had gotten exactly what I was looking for, and she's kept it in stock since! Not to mention the meat pies and lasagnas and desserts she makes! I always make sure to get a lunch or snack while there. Excellent cornerstore for Guigues Avenue.”
“I find the store offers the best Eastern European variety of products in Central-West Ottawa, which are reasonably priced. It also has a great, welcoming team to provide customer services.”
“Courteous service. Dealing with 2 people from different departments and very helpful, and they took the time. At the self-service checkouts too, the young woman was very helpful.”
