Iqra Grocery and Zabiha Halal Meat

"Was looking for a specific item, and called to see if it was in stock. The man on the phone literally told me to “come and check”. I let him know I am an hour away and he repeated himself saying “Come and check yourself” How comfortable are these guys getting that they can talk to customers like that?"

"The quality of the meat is significantly lower than other stores. Veal meat looks and tastes like beef here. I usually buy veal from other stores and it is very different to what they are selling. Same is the case with boneless chicken leg quarters. The issue could be with the size of the animal / keeping things frozen. But it was definitely disappointing"

"This store has so much potential and I’m all for supporting local business but this place is truly a disappointment. First off , as soon as you walk into the store , it smells horrendous. Like old meat juice left out for too long. This not only raises health concerns but it also speaks for the consideration or lack of the owner has for its customers. Also , to cover the smell up, the clerk decided to have incense burning on blast instead of addressing the root cause of the smell. The meat department is very unorganized and nothing is properly displayed. If you ask any for assistance , the butcher appears to be unbothered and annoyed to answer questions. I am paying for this item so I have every right to ask to see the piece before it’s cut. It’s simple consumerism. The organization of the whole store in general is a mess. Like why is there halal beer next to the yogurt? Like what is happening ? Also - nothing has price tags on it. The handful times I have been there , it always appears understaffed and I have to go find an employee to ring me up. Have designated staff for the register , stocking , and the meat shop! I hope this review serves as constructive feedback and management does something to address these concerns."

"We love this store! We've been getting our groceries here for about 8 years now, This is the best halal meat in the suburbs! They are so busy with orders they have 3 butchers. Abu Bakr is our trusted butcher and he knows exactly how to cut the meat for any desi dish you're making! There is no smell of meat ever in the store which shows they keep it very nest, clean and tidy. All the meat is top quality and trimmed nicely. The store is fully stocked all the time, very well organized and they have everything you need from 100's of raw spices including rare finds like javitri and Pipli (good quality), boxed spices, at least 40 brands of rice, atta and maida flours and even a isle for home goods like pots, pans, dishes, tawa flat pans, beauty products and soaps, all kinds of drinks, various flavors of sharbats like roofza etc.. They stock all your needs and you won't need to go anywhere else! Great sale prices on different items too. They are very friendly and are happy to help you."

"100 dollar worth of meat Actually Rotten meat I ordered meat from them and my husband picked it the next day. The meat WAS NOT frozen as it should have been the next day it was picked up. The next day I dug out the meat my husband kept in the freezer to cook and this is what I saw. I called them reported what was given to me and they said they'll call me. No one called. I called again to speak to the manager or owner they said they'll call me again nobody called back. My husband took it back to their shop since its rotten. It was more than a 100 dollar worth of meat and they refused to refund us. Yes, they refused to refund even after being so irresponsible, I could've gotten this matter really far and made a huge deal about it But I don't have time for this. They're poor in customer service. This was not the first Time I ordered. I used to like this place until this incident. 0 stars."
