Surprised that they had some kosher baked goods! Ill be back

Very fresh food and lovely lady staff who is very kind, polite, and helpful. I specially love their Moroccan mandarins which is special season offerings. Best mandarins I had in the last 10 years in USA. Other things I liked over there were fresh Persian cucumber, nectarines, tomato, and fresh basil bunch. They have so many Armenian and Persian grocery items and bakeries. If you live in Watertown or nearby, highly suggest to check them out.

Really nice grape leaves and salads.

A great market for spices, fresh produce, specialty fruits, fresh pita of all sorts. We get our olive oil here and hummus, pita, feta, olives. They make delicious lamejun as well as jams, dips and spreads.

Nice Armenian/Turkish/Mediterranean super market. Bought from there LahemAjin, string braided cheese, variety of roasted seeds and nuts. Prices were a bit higher than we are used to in New York, New Jersey or Virginia.It has a good variety of items.It was nice and easy to shop there.

Wonderful family owned place for fresh fruit and vegetables as well as Middle Eastern spices, olives, pastries and candies. They have been in business in Watertown for over 30 years, previously they were in the South End (uprooted by the urban renewal - when the Mass Pike was built).

I shopped at the store yesterday, one item that I bought was $2 more expensive from the store next door. It’s a small item and I bought a couple so that adds up and then I came home and realized that they charged me 6.99 for something that I did not buy. Called the number on the receipt and no one ever picks up. The place is very unorganized and I would not have written this review if they had not charged me 6.99 for something I did not buy. I looked at my receipt also after shopping but their receipt is not clear, names everything as produce produce … so with one glance you won’t know that they are cheating you. Very disappointed will never go again there are so many other stores around them that have all the items they have and they are much more honest.

Love this place, have been going since I was a kid. Great ready made lebanese food, solid cheese and pita selection. Definitely a great spot for bulk spices too!

Quality smaller Armenian market with competitively priced produce, flat breads, meats, plus a large selection of on-site prepared eastern European specialties and pastries/candies. Minus one star for some missing prices, free parking for 3 cars in back, street parking for a quarter, bags provided, quick in and out a big plus.

The best produce & groceries! Helpful & friendly staff.

I moved to Seattle and miss having this market nearby. The spicy feta is amazing!

The best place for local farmers fresh produces along with ethnic food. Much better prices than in any grocery store. I can’t stop my wife from going to this store almost every week, even though we live 40 minutes drive away.

This place has a great selection of produce at a reasonable price, and an in house bakery as well. I also loved their flower department. For once the bouquet looked exactly as advertised

Lovely store. The produce is very fresh, and they also have some great prepared foods. Friendly staff. I’m not Armenian but I like some of their prepared food, the bread selection, feta and spices.

We came here looking for ingredients for a specific dish our Armenian friends make. We easily found everything we were looking for, and then some. Its a small store, but is very well stocked, clean and has friendly people working there. The fresh/ready-made food was also delicious.

Got all my spices that I cant find in regular stores. Very clean and friendly helpful staff.

Produce is fresh and inexpensive. There’s always a good selection of tough-to-find in-season produce such as fresh dates or fresh figs. And make sure you try some of their homemade jam. The homemade apricot and quince jams are to die for!

Arax Market has been in business for as long as I can remember and rightfully so. They have the widest selection of any specialty grocery store you can imagine. The staff is friendly and helpful. An extremely diverse and eclectic selection of fresh produce. Their Armenian and Near Eastern prepared foods are delicious!

Unbelievably fresh produce and imported goods!!! Home mades are to die for! All the staff are very helpful and friendly. Everything is also very well priced. Store is always clean and inviting. I cant recommend Arax enough, theres no competing!!!

Awesome selection and staff! The kataifi and baklava were excellent!

I love feeling like I arrived home!

This is a fantastic market, with so many fabulous, hard to find ingredients. The staff is helpful and welcoming.

I grew up in Watertown and this was my absolute favorite place. The fresh fruits, vegetables and Mediterranean dishes are out of this world. SO. SO. GOOD. Now I live in the South and stop here every time Im in Boston. Bring a wallet full of money, youre gonna need it!

You go there, you get what you want and you leave, what more do you want?

I think this place deserves a real review since almost all the reviews are single digit reviewers that are friends and family.Arax used to be a good option for vegetables and fruits. This is no longer true since you can get fresher produce from a much larger supermarket.The prices are higher than the competition and if you are not careful following the cashier, you will end up with inflated or wrong prices. To the insult to injury they dont even apologize.Since they are now playing politics and removed all the products that I was interested, they also removed the reason to go there. This is big because the products makes the market. Before this event, I would have rated them 2 stars anyways due to quality and service issues so no big losses.

If you are from the Middle-East or you love Middle Eastern cuisine then you will definitely like Arax Market. Vriaety of fresh and tasty bread is always available. I do highly recommend their Baklava! It is amazing and so tasty.

Great foods that you cant find anywhere else.

From fresh fruits and vegetables to delicious homemade style foods,you’ll find everything you need. Great knowledgeable and friendly staff make you feel right at home. Definitely worth the trip,you won’t be disappointed.

I only wish I had more time to discover all the different ingredients for preparing things at home.

Super friendly and helpful staff, amazing cheese counter, and the best place around for the best and most fresh selection of produce. Truly fantastic shop!

Huge place, much to select from. Sometimes you get lost. Even tough its big, at times you cant find the things you are looking for.

Zero costume service and higher-priced

BEST Middle Eastern market!!!! From the moment you enter the large glass doors, a wonderful smell of homemade food fills the air. The selection and quality is unsurpassable. From spicy hummus to spinach pies and delectable chocolate baklava, they have everything to tantalize your taste buds. The grocery area was filled with fresh fruits and veggies from around the world. And don’t even get me started on the chocolate selection. . . every kids dream. This family owned establishment has been serving Watertown for over forty-six years.

The market posted online how they refuse turkish products and turkish customers on their market. It is a shame that he is advertising as turkish market on google.

Neither Armenian or Turkish here. Please stop dunking or appraising the store reputation based on your political stance. Thats google reviews, trying to find actual info about the store.

Nice and clean

Love this store, everything is amazing, I especially love the Beet Humus! The Beet Humus may sound strange but it is sooooo good. We will put it out when we have company and without fail it will be what everyone asks about! The chocolate baklava is definitely a must try. The baklava is all the same price per pound so you can try a bunch of different kinds in small squares. The baba Ganoush is also very good. There is tons of prepared foods and its great fun trying different foods, keep up the great work!

Nice market with variety of middle eastern prepared food, lots of spice choices, nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables. Feels very welcoming.

Love their selection of middle eastern treats

Been going here since I was a baby and it’s always been consistently good. By far my favorite market, and has the absolute best tea + seeds

Cool grocery store with a unique selection. I like to check out the produce especially.

I adore this market. The dips are amazing, and the people are so friendly. I highly recommend the catering platters!

GREAT PEOPLE. GREAT STORE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ARAX MARKET!🏆🏆🏆

Friendly and bright atmosphere. Best Feta Cheese, Yogurt, Olives, Pistachios, and Sunflower Seeds Ive ever had all from this market. Great fruit selection, veggie selection somewhat limited. Would be great to add more hot peppers! All in all, this place is the best.

Remove all my favorite product by saying no more Turkish productSuch a shame!

I went in looking for garam masala, the owner was very kind and helped me find the spice. They also had imported chocolate, so I had to buy some of that, too :)Im looking forward to returning soon to explore more quality and delicious offerings.

They dont sell Turkish product anymore. what a poor decision

If you havent gone, go!

To the review by vicious panda. Having your favorite products removed isnt a legitimate reason to give a bad review? Regardless every time Ive been to this place everything is stale. Either Im unlucky for the three times I gave this place a try or there is a general trend of staleness.

Why did you remove all my favorite products?

Pretty crowded the evening I went, but they have a wide array of food that isnt common at large chain stores

Nice market with very good quality produce and and good variety of middle eastern products. Easy to access and find parking.

The best place For Armenian and Lebanese food.

Highly recommend making a trip to Arax Market. Some of the best fresh fruits and vegetables anywhere. Lots of middle eastern groceries, along with prepared food, pickled vegetables, olives and cheese. Its absolutely worth the trip.

I have been a customer for many, many years and always found good produce. I continued to shop because I wanted to keep them in business and respect local businesses.Lately I have noticed a big change. The prices are higher and the quality is poor. This week I bought peaches, nectarines, plums and bread. The bread was good as usual but every one of the fruits had to be trashed. They were dry and the nectarines were rotten inside. I have always had to trash a few but because the prices were more reasonable I didn’t mint. This time the peaches cost 1.00 a pound more than Shaws and market basket so I was not happy and will probably not go back to Arax.

Fresh prepared food, great selection of everything. Staff is so helpful and nice.prices are great.

Friendly neighborhood shop with a nice variety of Armenian food. The baklava is especially good! They have a greater assortment than other places Ive been. The produce was fresh and we got a great deal on organic blueberries. Well be going back to try their prepared food like felafel and hummus.

Very interesting Middle Eastern Food shopKinda reminded me when I visited the Middle East shops in turkey Armenia and Egypt

Great place for Persian and middle eastern. Very clean and excellent customer service

Great produce and very friendly people. The shop is not too big, yet you can find variety of middle-eastern and mediterranean products with good prices (pickles, spices, nuts, cheese, sweets...) . The shop location is easy to reach on the main street with free parking lots.

Fabulous grocery store. Reasonably priced very fresh produce and a great selection of middle eastern spices, breads, pickles, spreads - and plenty more. Very nice staff too

Has high variety of items. Expensive though.

Authentic middle eastern food.I recommend Syrian cheese, the honey and the black honey. also has some good salads and ready made oriental food.

Beautiful fresh herbs, veggies and fruit plus all the exotic stuff from Armenia, Turkey, Lebanon etc. Super nice staff too

If you looking for turkish groceries.. i felt like home. Staff is super helpful. Best store!!!!

Fantastic. I was in from out of town and wanted to drop by to get sumac and Aleppo pepper - both hard to find anywhere. They had it in spades, and I was very impressed by the rest of the store. Excellent selection, great produce, fantastic prepared foods. Would be nice if they had hot coffee but you cant ask for everything - I guess Ill have to nurse my sadness with baklava.

This Armenian grocery store has all the middle Eastern supplies you could ever need. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fresh produce including hard to find fruit, and to top it off, a fantastic Lebanese food deli. The best babaghanoush in the Boston area (perfect level of smokiness and garlic), and the best freshly made baklava.

They are not selling my favorite Turkish products anymore. (Lahmajune especially :) )

I love all the goodies in thus store, esp choice of veggies, sometimes so exotic -green almonds in season!

Bought a cheese couple of days ago and went bad in two days. Ill never be there again!!!

Arax always has fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as other products. They got all my cravings covered from sweets to spices. Should definitely visit and try their home made pickles.

Always old world friendly with amazing prepared foods and sweets. Nothing else like it, my kids insist on coming with.

Great local market. The produce is actually awesome and they have a wide selection of Armenian food and general goods as well. Arax can be relied on as your grocery store, which I think people dont realize!

Arax Market is a very nice local market. You would find almost all your daily food there. Very nice staff, fresh foods and great middle eastern food and bread.

Wonderful store. Wide variety of Amenian foods. Open on Sundays where others are not.

The best tasting baklava Ive had in my life! The pistachios a really good as well

All vegetable fresh i like shopping Arax market, they are friendly

They have excellent baklava!

A wonderful grocery store with a wide selection of Mediterranean specialities. The spice section is to die for.

Love this store! We dont live near Watertown, but we make a point to schedule a day at least once a month to stop in here for certain foods and spices! Two of the gentlemen are always so helpful and pleasant!

Great selection of local and imported food items. Affordable prices. Well recommended!

Where ever you go you can find reasonable prices, except this store the price is always triple x than any other store.

The grocery store is clean and there is plenty of employees and the lines move fast. Visit them for great deals.

Good, very old school store. I have been going there for years. It is a family owned and operated business. Very friendly and great selection of Middle Eastern foods and spices.

Love this shop, it has a great location and a couple of parking spots out back meant for customers, which is great cause there isnt much free parking in the area. They carry a big array of fruits, veggies, dried fruits, jams, cheeses, and breads/pastries, which reminds me of the LA shops that I remember. I try to go as often as I can to this store for my grocery needs. :-)

Very messy and dirty place!! Don’t suggest

Always a pleasant experience. Nice layout. Makes shopping easier.

Amazing selection of middle eastern spices/produce. They even have some stuff that appears to be made in house. There are massive olive bins... probably 30+ gallons. Pleasant Staff, fond memories. Will be frequenting often (I hope).

Arax Market is the best shop for homemade Middle Eastern food and imported items. I love that it’s family owned & operated. These family recipes have been passed down through generations and on any given day their Mom & Dad are in the kitchen working side by side as they have done for the past forty years. We order party platters for all our events from them.

Great selection of Mediterranean foods such as fresh, dried, frozen fava beans ( which is hard to find in local grocery stores) and lots of home made jams etc..

Ive been going here since I was a child with my family. Good place for Arabian/Middle Eastern food. Very nice place run by a family. Its an urban market which makes parking tough.

Marvelous Armenian and middle eastern store. Spices are so great & inexpensive. Feta cheese heaven. Pickles to dye for. Wonderful Olive selection. Best Olive oils in the world. Amazing prepared food. Fresh rose petals marmalade. Wow. And fresh Orange marmalade goes so well with my crêpe suzette.

Excellent selection of Middle Eastern groceries! Lots of delicious food. Customer service excellent. Been going here over 30 years!

Excellent customer service friendly team ..and fresh food and vegetables..delicious home made meals with good price.

Great selection,good prices, friendly staff, lots of spices and teas, fresh produce,eastern sweets and olive bar

Nice, small market with good produce and selection of spices. Prices are pretty good, especially for things you cant (or shouldnt) get from chain grocers.

Very good variety of Mediterranean ingredients you can not easily find around Boston.

They offer a large selection of Mediterranean foods, fresh veggies and sweets. You will develop quite an appetite during your visit.

Kind people and fresh product.

Was able to get the Armenian cookies Nazook here.
