Mobiles best kept secret, if you dont already knowπŸ”₯Best hummus in town. They do house made specialty grape leaves on Fridays, their feta dip is a must have, its insanely good! Best gyros in town. LARGE selection of seasonings, most you cant find locally and very well priced. Fantastic beer and Wine selection. Only place to get Feta in the brine; they carry Greek, French, and Bulgarian. All in all dont sleep on this place. RUN dont walk; you wont regret it.

Food pak is your one-stop shop Mediterranean & International foods. Serving hot (pitas of many varieties) and deli foods (Hummus, Olive Salad, fresh feta, eggplant salad, home-pickles), your food will be prepared fresh by family recipes dating to the age of legends. Grab some Italian wine, stock up on rare-bulk spices from Indian/Arabic/Romance flavor palletes, among many others. (Just scratching the surface on this deep well of flavor and culture)

Review β„–4

Not so much international stuff, and what we found was overpriced(compared to other stores) even the basic stuff like spices, and even came home with some expired items! The place is not the cleanest to be honest so we decided not to eat anything there, we were disappointed, has huge potential unfortunately not taken care properly! We live in Spanish fort and usually go to gulf shores or Pensacola for international goodies and there is a huge difference!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious sandwiches! I had the turkey, provolone and my husband had the traditional gyro. We also had eggplant dip and feta dip - wonderful!The assortment of herbs and spices in this place is excellent. Its worth going just for the smell when you walk through the door!!!They are following the mask mandate and social distancing πŸ₯°Also, bring your own shopping bag!Highly recommend!!!

Review β„–13

I love this place. Its a bit of a niche spot in Mobile, but its wonderful. The grocery store is great. If you need any sort of international seasoning or ingredient, particularly Mediterranean, this is your spot. There seasoning selection is wide and their prices are more than reasonable. Compared to name brands like Mccormick Food Pak is hands down the better option. That said the best part of Food Pak is the deli. The gyro is amazing. A perfect pita rolled around well cooked lamb with tomato onion peppers and lettuce makes for a wonderful, filling, and affordable lunch.

Review β„–21

Hidden gem of counter service made to order menu. Falafels are exceptional. Olive salad yum but doesnt need peppers. Property needs attention and business could increase, customers would feel more invited. Outside patio could easily feel more inviting with a little love. Convenience store pricing. Seems like restaurant supply. Interesting finds. Not particularly friendly. One high counter shelf type place to perch on stool n eat, well suited for solo.

Review β„–34

I adore Food Pal. My favorite part about shopping their are the exotic aromas of varying spices that greet you immediately from the parking lot. And you must try a Lamb Gyro. You will never want a Gyro from any place else. The staff are all so very friendly and helpful. And you can always find just about anything you are needing to prepare a perfect Mediterranean meal at home.

I have no clue how Ive lived in Mobile for nearly 30 years and have never been here until now. This place SMELLS fantastic when you walk in the door. Their food is delicious and they have shelves upon shelves of authentic spices, sauces, and so much more. This place is so unassuming from the outside, but once you walk in those doors, prepare to be awed.

This little shop is wonderful. I always find something new to me and the beer selection is okay. The main reason we go here is for the gyros and the hummus. Both are wonderful. The gyro is always fresh and the hummus is made in house. They also have cheese, olives, and other things in the fresh case. A must stop everytime we are in Mobile.

The best kept Mediterranean secret in Mobile. The gyro gods smile down upon this place! Yummus is the hummus? Well that would be an understatement. Their hummus possesses richness and depth of flavor. The wine selection: great with great pricing. The employees and the owner: outstanding and attentive. You it to your tastebuds to go here.

Great bulk spices. Terrific wine selection with case prices, good beer selection too. Nice selection of feta style cheeses and olives. Good middle eastern grocery and sandwich bar. The falafel pita is my favorite, with just the right amount of tahini, tomatoes and shredded lettuce; the gyros are delicious too, but either are made better with a little side of the eggplant dip.

Food Pak International Foods is a grocery/lunch counter with limited seating by the window. The food that they serve is amazing! We had the muffuletta and it tasted just like the original muffuletta from Central Grocery in my hometown of New Orleans---even the bread was the same! They also have a great assortment of spices, rices, and products that you would need to make Indian/Asian food.
