Sultan Market halal

"Sultan Market sits on Busch Blvd with View of the roller coaster at Busch Gardens. Big Z helped me navigate through the packaged nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to find some huge ones. This market provides a great glimpse of the Mediterranean with a case of Halal meats tended by a butcher who attends to every request. The cold beverage containers hold international sodas from many places. The basil seed drinks are colorful and it still amazes me how the seeds float in the thick juices They offer cheeses from many places with unique styles like Syrian cheese. Several frozen prepared boxed foods are ready to take home and cook. Several fine crystal pieces offer Mediterranean craftsmanship. What really piqued my interest was the selections of high quality chocolates in beautiful gift boxes. It was too hard to decide. Beautiful selection Accessible entry. Van accessible free parking in shared lot"

"Today I was on a mission to find the best pita bread, hummus, olive oil, olives and zaatar to try and re-create the wonderful flavors the wife and I had at Chef Yousef's restaurant The Olive Tree.  Success!! This is my 2nd visit to Sultans Market, the last nearly 2 years ago. The guy that helped me is likely the manager or owner, I did not ask. But to my delight he was a friend of Chef Yousef and was able to direct me to the olives, zaatar and olive oil I needed to complete my mission. The olive oil was freshly pressed Palestinian Extra Virgen oil very high in polyphenols (43 X) for you health aficionados. Better, less expensive and larger quantity than the expensive "polyphenol-rich" version (34X) sold online and advertised in social media. It was a perfect match and compliment to the hummus. Also found a delightful jar of olives from Jordan, packed in olive oil with lemon, bay leaf and slightly zesty yellow pepper that paired nicely with my other ingredients. Then, the perfect resealable package of Zaatar to mix will the olive oil for dipping pita bread. Last I bought some halal mediterranean style seasoned chicken for the air fryer at home. The last picture shows the results of my adventure today, I can not believe how many olives I ended up eating! Stopping at this Mediterranean Market was an impulse for me as I drove down Busch this morning. A pleasant surprise for an adventurous cook. There was some beautiful fresh lamb. I bought cryovac greek olives, some Indian Spice, baklava, hummus, fresh zuchini and other items. I disliked the cryovac olives intensely, not sure of their purpose but avoid them. That area of Tampa appears to be an area with Middle Eastern people, stores and restaurants. This place was well stocked, diverse, somewhat busy and fun to browse. A nice lady shopper volunteered cooking advice on items I bought. As I venture into that genre of cooking, this store is going to be essential with their treasure trove of spices, fresh lamb, veggies and chicken and myriad of other products. The more I learn, the more I like this place. One large advantage is the variety, cost, quality, scope and breadth of products compared to the tiny amount of shelf space dedicated to these items in a grocery store. A place to broaden your horizons. Come get ya' some!"

"Sultan Grocery is one of my main shopping destinations. It is large in size and contains many products, including chicken and meat. I also constantly buy chicken. They also have a free “cutting service” compared to some grocery stores that charge fees... Other products include: rice, ice cream, spices, olives, vermicelli, and the great world of sweets, but they require more arrangement."
