This place has the most diverse product selection I’ve ever seen in a grocery store. You can find everything from entire 3-foot aloe leaves to jars of tahini to Russian sodas to homemade pasta. Everything is usually very fresh and the meat selection is well-priced and very high-quality. Staff is friendly and unique and the store is usually uncrowded. Plus there’s a machine where you can crush your own oranges and take home the orange juice which is pretty great.
Love this store! So many hidden gems, I always wind up staying here a long time, just browsing. Incredible cider collection! And Alex was super helpful, Im glad I got her checkout lane
Great selection of quality food, meats, dei, produce. Parking is sometimes a challenge
Excellent! I feel very fortunate that this was my local grocer for about a year. Excellent deli, wonderful service and staff, beautiful produce and an incredible and fun international selection. There is always something new to discover here. I will miss it now that I moved out of Oregon and will visit when I’m back.
Cool little place to find European foods and beverages. Grass fed lamb and beef were available and delicious. The store allowed our little dog to come in, thank you
Great meat and deli case. I was hoping for more international vegan foods and other hard to find items.
Solid Mediterranean focused grocery store. Delicious hot and prepared foods. Fresh produce and vegetables. Good beer, wine, and cheese selection. Small Cigar humidor. Stocks hard to find ethnic foods.
I love this place and the selection of world foods and artisan pizza. The deli, which i havent tried, has amazing looking prepared foods of the world. Friendly staff as well
They have an old fashioned meat case with lovely products, and a great selection of teas.
Great local grocery store that sells halal, Mediterranean, and organic products. They also sell some wonderful prepared dish.
Convenient, fresh, and friendly. I feel like they truly have everything for a diverse population of patrons/nearby residents enabling crafting of meals from multiple disparate origins with fresh authentic ingredients.
Lots of food from different countries, a deli, and a refrigerated drink section. Highly recommend. At least worth a walk through to see all the different options.
Excellent grocery store. Gotta say, their wine selection is what takes me there. Hard to find good value European wines.
Mediterranean deli. Great service. Nice employees.
This is one of my favorite stores that offers everything I need. it has a great selection of international food, mainly Mediterranean, fresh herbs and vegetables, seasonal fruits, meat, olive oil, baghlava, breads, and etc. The store is always clean and organized. To my experience if you are looking for something specific for your Mediterranean food recepie that you could not find anywhere else, you should check this store, You will be surprised.
Wonderful selection of many unusual food items. Great meat department, and produce. Top quality and good prices. Super friendly and helpful staff. My #1 local market choice. I have been going there for decades.
My fav store for deli food. Fresh organic super delicious
Lots of delicious international food and great domestic products. Excellent staff. Great local food store. Ive been shopping here for years!
Chicken Shawarma is really good. We got unripe unripe dates as well.
Olive oil for days with flavor profiles and notes. Lots of wonderful cheeses and the hot bar is delicious. Do yourself a favor and eat the homemade grilled pita, its a hidden gem.
Love the quality and variety of their healthy vegan foods and other products!
Love this place. Been here forever and it only gets better. Great staff!
One of the best places around for local fresh meat and international food products. Wish I lived closer!
Best quality meat and customer service!
Its a shame that Ive been living a mere 12 minutes away from this cornucopia & have not discovered it till today. With my experience shopping in diverse & demanding communities all over the West Coast, Ive had quite a few impressive finds rivaling the options in California & Washington. First & foremost, an incredible and well-curated chocolate selection, especially soy-free, from local, regional & international craft sources. Second, local ground goat. Then, camel milk. And amazing small production specialty alcohol from various small regions of France, Italy & other countries. Finally, truly exceptional baba ganoush. High quality pasta, olive smorgasbord. I feel Ill be adding more on my future regular visits.
Always an adventure, treasure hunt - so many cool things to try. Awesome deli, great produce, friendly staff. A real gem in SW.
We made a catering oder on Tuesday to be picked up on Thursday last week. We went to the Barbur location on Thursday to be told that they didnt receive any order. Now imagine you have guests in your home waiting for the food, and there is no food to present. How many of we are sorry and we apologize can you take in order let this terrible experience slides away. I dont think enough apologies would suffice. This is a terrible way to run a business. No excuse here and they need to have a better way for ordering online instead of sending an email.
Always stop here when I make it to beaverton. Amazing selection of middle eastern, Mediterranean and other ethnic foods, some really exotic stuff such as camels milk! Great beer selection including the only Lebanese beer Ive ever found in Oregon. Great deli, meat and produce. Pricing in line with or better than anything youll find at whole foods.
From around the world and around the northwest, this is not just a grocery store it is always an adventure! Pop in to get a needed ingredient, a prepared meal, or a greater sense of how the wider world eats. A small space with a huge heart!!!
They have unique foods. We got a1. 5 lb box of fresh dates got$5.99 and they were so good!
Best grocery option around. Great deli and excellent selection.
I wish they had more British food but overall they have a great variety. Very clean, fresh fruits and veggies. I will be back
This is the place you will pay for ribeye steak 25 dollars per pound. So expensive market but there is some stuff you may not found easily
Great stuff at this grocery store. I appreciate shopping here and lately it seems like the check out process is faster. Thats the only con for me. The have 3 checkout stations and the line situation can get convoluted. A stricter, more structured policy would help us customers. Otherwise, great store.
This is such a nice little market. They have a great international food selection and really reasonable prices. The deli smelled AMAZING! Not sure what it was, probably the Lebanese pizza. Was worth driving down from Vancouver to check out.
I love this place. The foods are so international and delicious. And the employees shine.
This store is so overpriced on most of their items its nearly offensive. Now, Im the type who can appreciate a good product but I do have the expectation that it also come with good service and decent convenience if I am going to pay a premium but I have never been able to rely on this store to provide me as a paying customer either. My issues arise first from the confusing mess of a maze they call their aisles that funnel you in just two directions down very narrow walkways that at peak business hours are nearly impossible to get through without having a stranger or more likely strangers rub some part of their body up against yours and this can happen so many times before ever leaving the store that I cant help but to feel like somebody around there owes me a FING sandwich or dinner and a drink for having just helped themselves to first base with me! So, if youre someone who doesnt enjoy small enclosed or crowded spaces I advise you dont come here. Like, ever. Also, if you think you might require any assistance in locating a particular product I suggest you do your homework prior to your arrival so that you already know where that item is because finding anyone available to actually help you with something once youre there is next to impossible if not actually impossible. ALSO, if you should remember you have a six pack of beer bottles you need to bring back in for your deposit I would most definitely find some other place to go, nearly any other place or to simply just throw your bottles and kiss your deposit goodbye because although this store has two machines for customers to return their recycling the machines generally are never in operation and as Id mentioned before there wont be anyone around to service them if they need be in order to use. Finally, the one and only good thing I think I can say about this place is that its next door to a liquor store which Ive found very convenient in helping to soothe me after the induction of a near debilitating anxiety attack that this place causes everytime I step foot onto the property. Hell, even the parking lot is crowded, confusing and just outright atrocious. But yeah, theyre right next door to a liquor store, so, thats a plus. :/
Love the unique foods they carry. Deli homemade hummus outstanding.
Living less than a mile away from World Foods, I have been here many, many times. They have a wide variety of high quality fresh meats (marinated or plain) including grass fed beef. Any time I want to treat myself to a top-notch home cooked filet mignon, it comes from World Foods. They also have many frozen ‘exotic’ meats... wild boar, kangaroo, elk, buffalo, camel. The produce is good quality as well.And then there’s the hot and cold deli. The cook pizzas fresh when you order and many other prepared hot foods which all smell a-m-a-z-i-n-g.The rest of the store is filled with middle eastern and other international grocery items that you’d be hard pressed to find just about anywhere else in Portland. They have an impressive selection of wine and beer as well.If you’ve never been to Barbur World Foods, stop in sometime and I’ll bet you walk out with something you’ve never tried (or even seen) before that you’ll love.
Great store with a large array of products. Their fresh produce, & meat counter are excellent, & I hear they make epic pitta bread.
Like the fresh produce, fruits and few International items that the store carries
Nice variety of goods. Will try different foods next time. Didnt find everything I wanted but overall a clean fun store to visit.
Excellent choice of world food and European goodies!
Very quaint and homey grocery store. The isles can be a little hard to maneuver on when people are going opposite ways but besides that no complaints
I love this place! I usually go and make it a friend who loves to cook date. There are still manner of beautiful various ethnic odds and ends incl spices, gobs of different ones and wines. Did I mention the lovely cheeses? My favorite wrap up to my visit is to lunch or dinner at the deli - which is invariably busy, busy... I get my faves which are the toum, hummus, beet salad and finally a couple of new things eg roasted veggies, chicken, lamb stew etc... I only gave four stars because it is hard to get around in the produce section especially if you want to linger and see all of the less common produce...
Its OK if you like that kind of atmosphere to dine in food was a little blan
Just amazing place... You find everything you need
Great selection and friendly staff.
I love shopping here. I can find almost any authentic product and the staff if s very friendly and helpful. Id like to work here!
A fun place for foodies. Lots of delicious looking items Ive seen nowhere else.
This place is like a hidden gem! Even though it is right on Barbur Blvd its easy to just breeze right by it - especially with all the traffic! But I highly recommend slowing down to stop in sometime. We got some unique food items that were just delicious, including this one rose-flavored cookie that was incredible! Friendly staff. Aisles are a little small...but jam packed with great stuff!
The Deli here is so diverse, always something fun to try!!
Great selection. Great staff.
Best selection of super quality olive oil!
Amazing selection with great prices.
Fantastic produce, low prices. Meat and seafood counter is one of the best in the city. Deli is awesome. Lots of hard to find ethnic cooking ingredients.
Always love Barbur World Foods, beautiful produce and I purchase most of my meat from their butchers. Super friendly staff.
Love this place! Excellent selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods, awesome deli selections, and a small produce area as well. The beer cooler is really special if youre looking for something different from the typical Portland IPAs.
Great market with typical food from many different countries.
Great place for international foods.
Great prices and lots of products you wont find in other grocery stores particularly for Middle Eastern food. The meat and cheese I have bought here has been excellent, their lamb is spectacular. The produce section is small but if something is in season it is going to be great.
Decent and neat store!
I love going to Balbur to shop Brazilian products: tapioca, pão de queijo, café, but they also have amazing Mediterranean fresh food! All products great variety selection and fair price! Things that sometimes I only find at Balbur
Diverse selection of world and local product at reasonable prices. Excellent meat and fresh to-go foods.
Fantastic Middle Eastern food staples. I cook a lot of Armenian food and they they carry all sizes of bulgur, hard-to-find spices, Armenian string cheese, pomegranate molasses, soujouk, grape leaves, many kinds of feta cheese, manouri cheese, phyllo dough, the best sumac, and many varieties of rice. The deli is divine and features many hot foods. Must try: pitas baked to order. Watch them ploomp up as they bake in the wood-fired oven. Buy more than you need, because when they hand you that warm brown shopping bag, it’s impossible not to open it, breathe in the aroma of fresh-baked bread, then tear into one. Don’t forget the fresh-made hummus and garlic sauce!!!
Amazing selection of quality foods. Meat dept clerk was super helpful.
Perfectly quaint little store. But still has a great selection of everything you need and then some. The deli foods are delicious and perfect for a quick lunch while at work for a picnic on the weekend. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Loving place for middle eastern people!
Amazing, i love this place all the wonderful foods, i always stop here and get some of the amazing mochi. Next tine stop by and go there.
I always love going in to discover something new and get old favorites. Their made-to-order pita is scrumptious dipped in any of their fresh hummus or the sauce of the savory meats. The lentil soup is among the best I have had. The produce is of very high quality and the fresh-squeezed orange juice is a decadent treat. I only wish I lived closer!
The only place I know where mazithra is sold! Checkers are very friendly!
This is a hidden gem. Excellent selection great produce and meats all presented well and fair priced. Staff is friendly they know the store.Only thing I can add is I will be back.
We have loved this store for years!Great place to go for middle eastern food, whether ready from the deli or ingredients to make your own.Very good beer selection too.
Selections were from the finest goods from far away and local. It was fun to look at the abundance. This is the place to shop if you have a passion for fine foods. I will be back to try the garlic sauce!
Love this store! You can find anything you need here, and so much more in terms of imported foods. Great Turkish olives, dolma, etc. Wonderful selection of wines. I love coming in for fresh pita made in the woods stove oven, lebanese pizzas, shawarma and so much more! Customer service is efficient and always very friendly, I highly recommend a stop in!
Even though it says world foods, it is mostly Mediterranean. That being said, for such a small place, it is pretty amazing. They make fresh pitas to order and have a great selection of meats that you might not be able to find on this side of the river. Good produce and packaged meats, cheeses, and dry goods as well. If you are ever in the area, you should at least swing by. The only downside is that there isnt a lot of parking
Original portland middle eastern market, unique products. Great staff and owners.
Good store with many items from other countries and domestic food
Delicious! Can find unique, hard to find ingredients
It has become too expensive!
Surprising selection of products, if you miss true european and middle eastern delicacies, this is the place to go!
I arrived around 1:30 pm, store was ready to navigate, got what I needed quickly. Only thing that slowed me down was checking out all the great items in the butcher counter.
This place has awesome products. I come here often but dread the line situation. It takes to long to check out and the line can be a free for all with some folks cutting others. Need more organization in that aspect. Otherwise I would come here more often.
The hot deli, the meat counter, the cheese, the wine selection, and the selection of elegant foreign/ kosher food is why I love this store!
A mix of flavors from around the Mediterranean and around the world with a good produce department, great fresh meat and seafood, a fine deli with fresh baked pitas, and a large selection of beers and wines.
We were delighted with the store. The deli had loads of hot and cold items. Each person we met was friendly and very helpful as it was our first time there. We will go again. Worth the trip from Salem.
Ive always loved spending my time at Barbur. Live the classic European products and the pizza is beyond description. Love it!
Great produce, fantastic meat counter, deli with an incredible Mediterranean spread. If youre looking to explore and expand your pallet this is the place!
Great spices and cheeses. Friendly staff. The fruits and vegetables are also excellent. Main complaint is parking. Wanted to keep u r store a secret so I didnt have to compete with everybody for a parking spot, but u folks deserve to be successful. So this is my endorsement.
Excellent food I cant find elsewhere. Lebanese...yum! Sanitary covid rules.
Great deli with hot out of the oven pita bread. Best small grocery store in Portland.
Absolutely top shelf in every way. They even serve fresh squeezed orange juice. For less than jamba juice. Excellent prices & beer selection. Incredible service. The best foods made anywhere. Made only with the most expensive quality ingredients. All fresh. All their produce is local and tops. As close to what grocery stores in heaven will be like.
Today while checking out... I asked if they ever would carry a particular frozen vegetable. The cashier flagged down a nice man right then who told me... We could have that in for you next week! Love having a local market so close so helpful with such great fresh food
