Baiz Market - Phoenix, Arizona

Laura Cafiso

Wow - echoing what a few other reviewers have said: I've been meaning to come here for FOREVER & finally made it! A friend is a loyal Baiz customer & brought me for my first visit. So much good stuff that's unbelievably, affordably priced!

What I love:
*Produce prices - .69 cents for a bunch of mint; Yes please
*Buy by the pound: kalamata olives, three kinds of feta (Bulgarian, Danish, Greek), labneh (creamy Greek yogurt)
*Butcher dept w/ anything & everything including those lamb tongues (in photo) - not something I'd eat but each to their own
*Pastry dept - they must have about THIRTY different kinds of pastries from pistachio & nutella baklava to traditional ma'amoul cookies
*Spice aisle w/ an enormous range of spices from the familiar, cinnamon, to the more exotic (for me), za'atar
*All the flavored waters, like rose water and orange blossom water, w/ many brands to choose from
* Restaurant/cafe w/ seating area - lunched on a chicken shwarma sandwich & friend lunched on a beef shwarma sandwich; sandwiches are served on thin bread like lahvosh vs. a pita bread

For $21 smackeroos, I got the following groceries:
- Feta cheese/1/2 pound
- Bottle of rose water
- Mint bunch
- Three Persian cukes
- 1& 1/2 lb of sweet potatoes
- Pumpkin seeds/8 oz
- Walnuts/1 pound
- Cream-topped yogurt/32 oz

This same grocery list would be twice the price at Fry's so yes, I'm a new fan of Baiz! Thank you for offering so much to our community.

An Arabic grocery store with all of your Arabic grocery needs. Go in pick up your halal meat. You can get your coffee is your baklavas canned goods even cooking products and cooking tools. Great little place to shop.

If you want authentic middle eastern food, come here! They have a restaurant inside, a deli with a variety of meats, and they even have a bakery! The food is also amazing, a variety of different foods to select from. The only find I have for the place is that the fruits aren't always as fresh as you would like then to be; The vegetables are though. And that the restaurant is a bit pricey, but the food is worth it. It's delicious.

I have been coming here to this location for 7 years. I Love everything here. The grill is good. The meat is good. The tea is why I shop here. The vegetables are really delicious. I recommend coming here. Try a bit of everything. The staff is friendly. You can't go wrong!

Chicken and all the regular stuff is popular here, but I made the trip for some lamb. And next time for some goat (I've bought goat at the farmer's markets but you don't see it at most grocery stores).
Before I go next time I'm making a list of wants, because even though it's small, the unusual choices are overwhelming. I lingered over all the desserts and cheeses and spices and meats. But I left with just one jar of roasted eggplant because I couldn't decide!
Also stopped in the restaurant and had lamb kebabs (very soft - softer than filet often is!) and tabbouleh.

Delicious middle eastern food located in a grocery store. Meals are $7-15 and you get a large portion of food. Recommend the shawarma.
