Rana's Indian Bazaar- Al Salam Halal Market & Café

"Pretty solid spot for Middle Eastern groceries, but some of the cooked food falls short. They are somewhat often out of things on the menu, without updating it, it seems. But, the food is still pretty alright. I tried the Moroccan cookies, the baklava, the lamb gyro sandwich, and the hummus. Originally, I had ordered basbousa, but they were out of it. So, to make up for it, the gave me the cookies and some hummus (more than enough, so thank you!) The cookies themselves were probably my favorite part of the meal. They were coated nicely with powdered sugar and had a slight date flavor, a grainy texture, and were overall quite good. The hummus was kind of disappointing. It had a strange acidity to it. Honestly, it just didn’t take that fresh or creamy. There also wasn’t any pits served with it. The lamb gyro was also just alright. I had ordered it without lettuce, but it came with lettuce anyways. The meat was fine, not too tender or tough, but probably also not the highest quality. Pita seemed not homemade. Lots of vegetables. Sauce was okay, a little creamy, but not too much. The baklava was not worth buying, in my opinion. It definitely tasted storebought and not made in house. It was stale and quite flavorless. No crunch, no nuttiness, very dry. No syrup. Not that good. I probably won’t be returning to this place for the cooked food. But, the market itself is really nice, so I may come back for that."

"Its good place for Indian grocery and halal chicken especially try chicken over rice its like wow. Much recommended."

"Before the owners changed, this store was my go to Indian store. But now they changed the Indian store to a Mediterranean store. They claim it’s half Indian and half Mediterranean but if you visit the store now, you will hardly find any relevant Indian product in that store- it’s either the Indian stuff you don’t need or it’s not there anymore. I do not recommend this store anymore! There’s no other closest Indian market in this area and it sucks that they ruined this Rana’s bazaar- I really liked this store."
