Nothing special at all. Isles are very tight and some items in cans had expired. Watch your bill they do not always verify the accuracy of prices. It has gone downhill as well with fresh produce. There are far better Middle Eastern markets nearby

Shopping for years till I noticed he was cheating with pricing. Dear customers please check your items and your receipt. Always make sure check your receipt, because he is famous with double charging .He used vulgar words on my Afghan friend .(Bad gence and bad Akhlaq )Insulting my Afghan friend in front of other customer.Zero customer service!!!

I was searching for the spices I need for Ghormeh Sabzi. The owner took the time to show me the products in his store. It was helpful to learn about the products and his recommendations. It was a great experience. I'll go back there for the rest of my ingredients.

Variety of items for persians. Some items are pricy like sweets and pastries, and others are reasonable.

Went in looking for mastic gum, found it for 10$, came out with complimentary nougat candy. Always wanted to try these and Turkish Delight. Everyone was helpful including the customers! Thank you, Assal market. Appreciate the hospitality.

My family has become good friends with the owner. He started the store over 30 years ago in a smaller location in Vienna, and grown it to what it is today, recognized as the top international and Mediterranean market in Vienna. Love the selection and the hard to find real person foods and treats. The feta cheese is amazing too. Local hard to find Mediterranean fruits, vegetables and nuts. Breads, including Afghan Bread.

Be mindful of the final receipt they give you. They usually overcharge you by charging more than the price tags. People usually trust the cashier for adding up the price based on price tags the, but don't trust this store!

I shopped here on and off over many years dropping by yesterday after a 2 year plus hiatus. I like the vibe of Assal. Notwithstanding the covid pandemic my habit has always been shopping during off peak business hours for everything, from Home Depot to CVS to grocery shopping in general. But even during off peak there seems to be steady traffic here. Slower traffic but steady. Appears to me the owner/management, employees and customers all interact with ease. Seems to me Assal’s customer base is made up of regulars from the large Persian diaspora in NOVA and talk with ease to each other, often in Farsi. There is a social component to shopping here.The store is small and seemed well organized yesterday compared to long ago, past shopping experiences. I like their bread selection and generally buy spices along with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ingredients and products. I do not buy produce, meat and poultry here and I don’t even know if Assal has sea food. I buy produce at MOM’s Organic Market, poultry and sea food at Whole Foods, and on rare occasions, becoming almost non existent, meat at The Organic Butcher of McLean. I also went to Wooden Bakery and Yas Bakery yesterday and noted that only Assal Market had grape seed oil. At Assal I purchased grape seed oil, pita bread, halva and frozen falafel. The falafel was bland, not so good.
