There seems to be a new market popping up in Hamtramck every other day. I had the fortune of needing a few quick things and stopping here.
I'm surprised that this place hasn't been reviewed yet. This place is truly a trip. It contains a full line of Middle Eastern foods, produce, and a meat counter.
I came here only for pita. I ended up getting a bag of 10 extra large pitas for... $1. That's right! A buck! I've paid more for those half-sized pitas at Kroger. I'm so surprised at the pricing here because of this.
They have a great meat counter that you can purchase plain meats and pre-seasoned meats. Obviously you're not going to find pork here, but beef, chicken, and amazing lamb are here en masse.
If you're looking for anything and everything Middle Eastern, this is THE place for it. It's like the Polish Market... just not Polish! -

Inexpensive with a large assortment of fresh produce? What is not to like? There is a pickled vegetable bar that I have yet to venture into; it looks great. They have bulk bins of my favorite rices, grains and nuts. Like any "international" food market, it does lack some items. (If you're looking for pearled barley, they don't stock it.)
This place is very popular, so the parking in their smallish lot can be a heart rate-elevating experience. Adding to the stress is the fact that they also use the front lot for deliveries. Those who have lived in Hamtramck for some time are accustomed to this way of business but, newcomers can be overwhelmed by this brand of craziness.
Cautionary note: If you are at all squeamish about seeing any animal heads sans skin, you might want to avoid the meat counter at the far end of the store! -

On her last (very rare) day off, my girlfriend decided to go on a "Hamtramck market tour" to figure out where to get the best produce, who had the most decent prices etc. Since we live in and love Hamtramck, we want to support businesses here as much as we can. Plus, it's so much nicer to be able to walk to the store than to drive several miles away just to buy staples like bread and (soy) milk.
This places really surprised her, and when she took me to see it, I agreed - it's a really nice little store with more stuff than you'd expect including soy milk! The bread was super good and SUPER cheap. They even have Red Bull (okay, so I have an addiction problem). If you like olives, they have a full olive bar filled with beautiful and tasty looking varieties. I didn't take a lot of time to look at the produce since we weren't buying any on this trip, but she had commented that she was impressed. It's well worth checking this place out. -

Very honestly the freshest produce in Hamtramck and at reasonable prices. That is what brought me back and why I continue to shop there. They also have wonderful fresh Pita Bread and a pretty decent variety of spices, Labna-- mmm yummy goodness!
I love being able to shop quickly and this is the place for it!
