Acacia Food Mart

"OMG I ate the best baklava in Houston! When the doors of the food mart opened, the aroma that hit me was insane! I didn’t bother to look at any of the products on the shelves. My nose literally led me to the back of the food mart where the bakery is. I saw trays and trays of different kinds of baklavas in the display cases. I got greedy (as usual when it comes to sweet food) and asked for eight different kinds of baklavas. The baklavas were sold by per pounds. Luckily I brought my Turkish friend along which helped in the communication part, and I was able to get a few pieces of each kind. The baklavas weren’t too sweet, and they were so awesomely good. If I have to choose one favorite (trust me, it is tough to have one favorite only), it would have to be the cold baklavas with hazelnut or pistachios. Eat them straight out from the fridge is just aaahhhh… Diyarbakir Burma with pistachio had a good texture contrast that was so good. I also got the rice pudding (forgot to take a pic because I gobbled it down before I remember to take a pic) which came in a small rectangle aluminum tray. The rice pudding was baked well, and it wasn’t overly sweet. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Other than sweets, the bakery sells breads too. That would be the food item l will purchase on my next visit."

"Hands down the most authentic and fresh place for real turkish döner I have had anywhere in US. They bake their own pita bread and meat is sliced thin right off the gyro. Also a great place for turkish groceries, baklava and my favorite su börek. P.S: Just to make sure you know that the doner is only available on weekends (Sat & Sun). Though I wish it was available throughout the week."

"This is the best Turkish Market in the country. Groceries can be found everywhere but you can not find their Doner, borek, and fresh simit anywhere else."

"This is a cool spot!!! They have eclectic finds that are sure to please. They spoke when I entered, which to me, is a big plus! Check out the pictures!!"

"I see that all of their price so high!!!! It's not understandable. I came from AR and visited that Turkish market. Because There is not any Turkish market in Arkansas. There are some Mexican market in arkansas. And Maxican markets had also some Turkish products. But I can say that Mexican markets are almost 20-30% less than that Turkish market. I don't understand how? Bc city Houston have big port and arkansas don't! Mexican markets pay much more than shipping cost but their price is almost 20-30% less than Acacia food market. It's crazy...."
