text: I decided to check this place out a few weeks ago considering I heard so much talk about how this is the mother of all middle eastern markets in phoenix. \nTo be quite honest, I had much higher expectations- considering Ive visited middle eastern markets in other large cities across the U.S.\nThey are stocked up on just about all the middle eastern staples like dried nuts, beans, couscous, pickled lemons and various spices. \nAt the mini restaurant in the market I tried the shawarma- the thing is if you cant get a proper shawarma down right then lets not go any further. \nIt was okay, nothing spectacular or I'd drive out of my way to eat.\nI guess if your in the area and need some middle eastern staples pass by.
