Arabian Market: Your Destination for Authentic Mediterranean Halal Cuisine in Columbus

Arabian mkt is the newest edition to the Columbus halal-specialty-arabic stores. It is clean, organized, well kept, and the owners/employees are friendly and polite. They speak both Arabic and English which is great. They have some of the usual items like fillo dough, falafel, samosa dough, okra, moulokhia, and some unusual items like duck, salted fish (ringa- an Egyptian favorite), dry jews mallow/moulokhia, akawy cheese, Tiger chips (an Egyptian favorite), Fayrouz drink (another Egyptian favorite), pigeon, fitteer mishltit (Egyptian paratha). A nice selection of teas, coffees, juice drinks including Mira and Enjoy, as well as spices. The butcher area is clean, organized with frozen and freshly cut items. I bought a beefsteak which was thinly cut and perfect for "bifteak." The location is easy to find next to Tuffys near 315. Totally recommend!!

awesome Mediterranean/Middle Eastern grocery store.. Super clean, great selection (especially dairy items, tea/coffee, and breads). We chatted with the owner for quite a while, he was so friendly and welcoming. He told us they receive all their meat as a whole product and have their butcher break everything down in-house. I could tell the chicken I bought had been hand trimmed, the butcher was cutting lamb shanks while we were there (they looked amazing). Their pita must have been made in store or locally, it was the softest freshest pita I've ever had. I'm so glad to have found this place, we will definitely be back!

Everything you want a market like this to be, with more to come! The Arabian Market is a balanced mix between corner store casual and a full market feel. With the aisles neatly stacked full of all the essentials like rice, figs, pickled goods, sweets, and spices, the space is much bigger on the inside than lets on from the out. The refrigerated section carries a wide array of meats, frozen veggies, cheeses, and other such items. They carry a small, but relevant section of bulk foods, and have a small deli of sorts towards the back of the store. To top it off, the employees are warm and friendly. They told me about their plans to expand the offerings so they can cater to specific customer needs. All in all, it's a yes from me!

1st time in and I could smell the food cooking in back. They made me a chicken shawarma to die for. Cooked fresh. Lightly cooked veggies. Firm but tender rice. That's the picture. Plus some spicy stuffed eggplant that rocks!!!!

This is one of the best Arabian stores in the area. The owners are extremely honest and genuine people who truly care about their customers. They are always helpful, respectful, and fair.
