First time visiting North Park Produce in Vista! I was pleased to see that it was very organized and good variety of items. Prices almost comparable to the Mediterranean stores in San Diego county but some were more expensive. There could be more and better selection of fruits. I will certainly go back if I am in the area.
What a great market especially the Mediterranean grill/hot food counter. The market itself is a Mediterranean, middle eastern type of market. You can get the spices, yogurts, many olive oils and some middle eastern region goods. The vegetables are ok, some not as fresh as it can be, so just pick the right ones. The fruit as well. The meat counter is awesome, get some chicken kabobs to grill yourself. You can also get homemade hummus and taziki sauce and some naan or tandoori bread. The winner is the Mediterranean grill that serves up a Mediterranean side and Persian side. I’ve tried their gyros, chicken kabob, beef kefta, and chicken tandoori. Their daily specials are a steal!! I come here at least once a week now to get their delicious food for lunch. They have great family meals that can serve up an army. Best Mediterranean grill in north county!
Interesting Mediterranean/Balkan selections. Pretty good grill attached - dine there or takeout. Selection of produce, canned and dried goods, snacks and beverages changes. Flatbread made on-site. Fresh produce. This is where the people go to get their taste of home.
Always delicious and fresh! The ‘orange’ chicken tikka kabobs are so moist and flavorful! The breads, the baklava, the unusual produce-all of the interesting items make grocery and dinner shopping so much better! Great store! Nice staff, as well!
Top notch Middle Eastern market with great take out food. I had the Monday special Gyro and it was enough food for 2 meals and very tasty. A lot of imported specialty grocery items you remember from your visit to Cairo or Jordon. All kinds of exotic products piled up all over the store. Great local adventurous store. 2 thumbs up
I mostly come here for the chicken shawarma wraps. Love them, and theyre huge! Shopped around a bit in this store and looks like a good option for meat and produce. Youll also find middle eastern foods that are not very common in Vista.
Hidden gem! Awesome selection of otherwise hard to find products, and the employees who helped me were both very knowledgeable and courteous.If you are looking for Mediterranean, Arabic, Halal, etc look no furtherI cant wait for cousa squash to come into season, because I actually know where I can buy it now! So, Ill definitely be back soon ☺️
Always have fun in this store. Lots of Mediterranean, Persian, Indian goodies, meats, produce, bulk nuts and dried fruit.
Mahmood coffee 3 in 1 OriginalWent to the store and asked if they carried the product I was looking forEither the cashier knew what I was asking or HE didnt give 2 flying Fs about it
Amazing store! The moment I walked in I was introduced to the most delicious smells of food and spices from Lebanon Persia and other areas in the Middle East. I asked one of the employees what kind of music was playing and she informed me that it was music from Lebanon -it was fascinating.They serve traditional food and homemade baked goods such as baklava! They have special meals prepared for each day of the week that are specially priced it looked amazing. I will have to come here next week for lunch Monday looked pretty good!Now to find some recipes that will give me an excuse to buy some of these exotic foods and spices.
Good store, with lot of Middle Eastern and Indian choices. Staff are very nice and helpful.
Love the selection of specialty products! Ordered beef shwarma wraps and theyre delicious and HUGE! Just check if your order is right when you pick it up as we got all the veggies EXCEPT the ones we asked for. Also, ***NOTE*** Everything from the deli counter is FRESH and tasty, EXCEPT the Dolmas which is from a can.....
They have great shawarma!
A great variety of international foods, and kebabs, gyros, and other Mediterranean foods at good prices.
This is a great market and their hot served food is AMAZING! My favorite is Chicken kabobs and Gyros wrap. Im so happy to have found great food.
Phenomenonal! This is absolutely my new grocery store. The produce, the bakery, its amazing. Love it.
Best kebab sandwich.
Their sandwiches are pretty tasty and very big! Best falafels in Carlsbad.The store itself can be maintained a little bit better as well as the meat section.Good halal options.
LOve their gyros
Best place to get Indian species.
Went here for Indian food ingredients. There are some, but not a lot. The store houses more mediterranean and arabic food items. Some russian and greek too.
Very, very happy this place is here! They have all your basic Middle Eastern staples and necessities that are difficult or impossible to find in many areas. Everything from halal meats, seasonings, dairy, breads and even frozen choices and fresh produce. You wont find these things at your chain grocery stores!
For the past 3 years I have ordered a halal organic turkey in advance from North Park Produce and always picked it up the day before Thanksgiving. I wanted to order my turkey early but when I called a man with an accent answered the phone, said that he couldnt take my order and said that I had to come in and pick it up. He was very unfriendly to me over the phone so I decided to buy my turkey at Frazier Farms. Your employees need to develop some interpersonal skills and not treat customers with contempt. If you (the owner) dislike Americans so much then no one is forcing you to stay here! Your manners suck!
Great assortment of middle eastern food. Olive Oil capital of the world
Good find..has a very diverse variety of products. Love this store.
Love their daily take out specials! $3.99 for a huge falafel wrap on Wednesday, its worth the trip. Baklava delicious. Great variety of spices and items for a plant based diet. The produce is a little hit or miss but some good deals there too.
A great little Middle Eastern Market that has an amazing grill inside. They typically have a grill special everyday and we have not been let down once! So delicious.The veggies/produce are always significantly less expensive than the local grocery store e.g. Albertsons, Ralph’s, etc.The deli counter has a wide selection of olives and at least five (5) different feta cheeses to choose from.The meat department has all halal meat here so consider yourself blessed (pun intended).For obvious reasons you will not find pork or alcohol here.Whats not to like!?
All the fruits taste like fake fruit it’s a waste of money😒😞😔😩🥺😢😭
1st time at this store. Saw ad on Facebook. I went there today (4/8/18) and ordered the $14.99 Family dinner (Feeds 5). All they gave me is one tahini sauce and one dressing. I came back and ask for more and the guy said he can only give me one more of each and I would have to talk to his boss if I wanted more. Then I had to go the register and ask the girl who just said to go back and ask for more. Finally, another guy at the deli gave extra sauce. Also when I first got to the deli, I waited and no one greeted me. I wasnt sure where to order and I had walk back and forth until they were ready to help. Then they didnt tell me I had to go to the register to pay 1st before picking up my order. So after 15 minutes and I went to pick it up they acted like hello, you have to go pay first. Seriously very poor customer service but the food was good.
Most products are very fresh. Some of the packages are not. I wish they have more varieties of choices.
Best take out food! Always friendly, a wide variety of products and a delicious Deli!
I love getting bulk olives, feta, and middle eastern salads here. Also non-american jams and cookies and teas. The staff have always been friendly.
They have lots of products, and I recomend the delicious family meal.
Nice staff but store not organize
Nice place friendly Egyptian people are the best, Jim the owner is really nice guy and good helper to find anything you looking for and you need, will definitely go back again.
Convenient grocery store with a deli that serves freshly cooked middle eastern style platters.
Lots of great produce, foriegn groceries & a yummy deli.
Great Middle Eastern grocery store, really a small supermarket.
I love this store especially Jim A++ service attitude and very friendly provides detail attention and trust to everyone. He has created an environment of a small store with individual attention. Also Jim is very accessible. Very honest..
A month ago, I purchased Keta kabob plate and the ground beef did not taste good at all. Either the meat quality is horrible or the species.Two weeks ago, I went back to give them another chance. I went to the meat section and purchased a kofta ground beef mixed and after grilling the meat at home the taste was still bad……I highlight recommend everyone to stay away from the fresh ground beef and the cooked Kofta kabob from the restaurant…….
Feels like you just got off a plane in the Mid-East.Super selection of spices, teas, chocolates.Vegetables and herbs very fresh and low priced.Need to go back when I have more time to check out all the rest of the store.I only had 15 munutes on my lunch break to shop.
Love this place, especially all the homemade stuff like shirazi salad, tabouleh, babaganouj, morrocan salad, etc. Good selection and prices on produce and bulk grains, etc. Great variety of teas and canned/jarred European and Middle Eastern delicacies. They make hot food to go or eat in, too. Wednesday = falafel special, my fave. Just got home with my bounty of yumminess!
I absolutely love this store, they have the most excellent quality meats, and everything else required for a mediterranean/middle eastern cuisine, the people who work there are always nice, will definitely keep going there.
The produce and the grocery is very acceptable for the majority of what middle eastern household might need. The restaurant offers lots of different food, but not the freshest. They have a catering style operation which lowers the quality of the the food.
Fantastic quality Mediterranean, near East, and halal food stuffs. The hot food is just as good and very affordable. Every day they have a special on hot food items. I just tried their falafel sandwich and it was a foot long and loaded with goodies for $3.50!!!!!! let me say that AGAIN...$3.50!!!! U will not find a better deal anywhere.
This place is awesome for fruits, vegetables, meats, fresh cheeses, middle eastern and Indian foods and spices. Dont forget about their prepared foods. Great tasting at affordable prices. Love this place!
Great Mediterranean food at their hot food counter. If you need tea, cooking oil, or specialty mediterranean spices or produce this is the place to visit. I wandered around for about an hour the first time I visited just looking at all of the various imported products.
Great Persian Hot food and excellent Halal meats!
The food here is fresh, tasty and decently priced. You get a very large portion of food for a very reasonable price. Their spices are heavenly. Tried the beef plate, the chicken curry, the chicken plate, the kabobs and both the white and yellow rice. All was absolutely delicious and will most definitely be going back many times.
Love to shop here. Such fun items. Always trying something new. Sweet lemons, rose water and potatoes dumplings were my last purchase.Their cooked meals are very good and inexpensive.
OMG. They got everything Mediterranean and theyre nice 👌
Feast, feast, feast, feast, feast on delicious hot food to go, go, go! Schwarma, rice, chicken, and beef sticks satisfy! I purchased for 10 people family pack! So valuable for my time and budget! Especially time!On the day I visited, I received a free LED light bulb!Our Lady of Good Success, triumph and reign!Our Lady of the Angels, help!
This market is a gem. Here can be found middle east ingredients, fresh vegetables and assorted breads and a deli of Mediterranean food. Its wonderful.
Nice store with good staff. Well organized.
A friend recommended. Was surprised at the variety of fresh produce at an extremely good value. A hidden gem folks.
Haven’t tried the food here but the produce section is always so fresh and they have such a huge variety of things I can always find what I need and more! I also buy my meat here and it’s perfectly cut and clean
I love Halal food and North Park Produce is one of the store that I buy my groceries. I love their cook food and fresh Naan. I highly recommend this place to all those people who love HH Food, Healthy and Halal Food.
It says they are open until 9p. Its 8 pm right they are already closed.
Spot for unique groceries, but the restaurant is the real gem. The food at the restaurant is amazing, reasonably priced, and their daily specials cant be beat.
If you would like to find international food, then there is one of these special stores 😋. I like this 👌 store!
A great market that very few people even realize is there. All kinds of interesting foods, spices and produce along with fresh baked breads.
We shop here quite frequently. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You can find some ethnic food that you can’t find anywhere nearby. Their fruits and veggies are very fresh and priced great. Every time I go I buy chocolate layered halva. OMG - it’s delicious. Their feta by pound is excellent. Fresh meat is great and chicken actually tastes like chicken. I love the variety of Greek olive oil... I can go on... Very grateful we have this store nearby. Thank you.
We went on a Sunday and they have a special on their kabobs. So good and inexpensive. Great flavors.
Excellent market for ethnic foods and produce at a great price. I come here to buy Middle Eastern food product but they also have Asian items too. Love grabbing feta and olives here. It’s a great option for North County.
This store has alot of different groceries
The quality of the food is terrible. They taste nothing like Mediterranean food. If you haven’t tried Mediterranean food before you wouldn’t notice but trust me it should taste way better than their food.
Great store. I always feel welcomed. The food is really good and made fresh for you. Dont forget to check out the deli. My personal favorites are the homemade hummus, jalapeno stuffed olives and fresh flat breads.
Try to have a bite of the wide range of products from different parts of our Earth. You can do it here food great theyre making breads and fresh salads . This place is a piece of cultural experience in one place. I love the people who works there.
Unbeatable produce prices. Great spice selection. Friendly staff. Only place Ive found in north county that has such surplus of international food fare. The food they make too,is excellent. I also love their flower waters on the tea aisle,i refrigerate them in a spray bottle and use as facial toner. All good things to say,never a negative experience.
Inexpensive produce with a lot of variety; and the store carries many international products. Its not too far from home, and there is a lot of new stuff to try out. There is a good amount of preprepared foods, mostly middle eastern. Produce prices are lower than most of the bigger chain grocery stores near me. There are a lot of products here that I would like to try out.
Huge variety of international food. Is fun to browse the isles and check out different items. I dont know what half of them are bit its still an interesting experience. I discovered and love the young walnut preserve.
This is the worst grocery store i have been in all my life...Way over priced for every thing.Staff are extremely rude and unprofessional.Meat is the lowest grade out there.Be careful when buying products they keep expired products on shelves.There are many other international grocery stores you can find for a better quality and better prices.
Good place for ethic food items. The restaurant inside had good Mediterranean food. It looks not as clean as I would like it to be to give me more confidence in eating there more often.
They have plenty of specialty middle eastern ingredients. Their Mediterranean food court is very tasty. I try to schedule some meal around the times I get here 😁
We have been coming here for sometime for many Russian foods and ingredients. However, for the last couple of times the vibe has gone down. My husband and I were having a private conversation while checking out our groceries and the woman at another cash register was staring right at us since we were picking up items, and waiting at the register, she was listening to us the ENTIRE time, every word, and was staring frozen in place. I didnt know if she wanted something from us or what the deal is? As I asked her if something was wrong, she responded with confrontation and not very friendly!I find this unprofessional and very rude, also very unfriendly. Its making me question my coming here in the future as I do not feel its friendly and professional.I do not want to feel ackward shopping with my family and expect my personal and private space and boundaries respected as at any other grocery store or business. Please work on your customer service skills and customer experience. And for god sakes, hire staff with better manners.
Customer service was excellent, very accommodating when we ordered a meal for a large group on short notice. The other times weve been for groceries we have always had positive experiences with sales clerks. You can get foods from many parts of the world that are otherwise not available in North county and the prices are very reasonable.
Has many specialty items that others dont have.
Great produce prices and selection as well as grocery items.
Cool spot, produce is cheap. Fair amount of vegetables and fruits. They have barrels of bulk dried fruits and trail mix. Baklava’s was just okay won’t get it Agian
What a delightful find here in Nortth County! The food from their restaurant is delicious and potions are generous. The market is full of so much wonderful produce . Don’t miss their fresh baklava in their deli counter. Friendly people too. One trip and you’ll be a lifer!
A great place to shop for food stuff that is not at any supermarket and at a good price
The deli earns this place 5 stars! The food is delish and the server guys are awesome. Its fun to wander through the store, too.
Pleasant service
For food from this region of the world, I do not know of anywhere better in San Diego county. All I can say is the food here is delicious beyond measure. I will keep coming back because it is a real treat, and the prices are very good.
They have very delicious fresh bread and all kinds of fresh produce and Persian cookies as well as some Persian food. They also have Persian special ingredients.
Great selection of Mediterranean groceries and produce.
Awesome 👌
Great local produce, friendly staff/ owners
Best Market in North County to get imports from all over the world. I especially like the bulk herbs that they sell. Fresh feta cheese is another favorite.
My wife and I discovered this great little gem in Vista. The food is delicious, the staff are very helpful and the bakery is exceptional. If you are looking for a middle eastern market and restaurant, look no further - North Park Produce is your destination.
This place is awesome and I encourage you to check them out. Their hot food counter offers a great variety of options including lamb shanks, falafel, gyros and kabobs all served with tasty rice and salad. Look for daily specials) The market is well stocked with all sorts of goodies and their meat counter and fresh vegetables are great quality. I ordered a bone in leg of lamb for Christmas dinner and Im going back this year as well. So glad they opened shop close to me. Keep it up guys.
I go there to get my masalas and Indian karak chai.. loose tea. This North Park Produce is biggest in the San Diego North County compare to the one in El Cajon Blvd, San Diego
Awesome! Great Service!!! Great food!! Kebabs, gyros, all kinds of bread, sweets, baklava, amazing groceries!!!!!
Excellence in produce department, good display and various hard to find bulb and root vegetables
