MEKKAH MART MEDITERRANEAN SUPERMARKET 2256 Forest Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

"COME HERE IF YOU LIKE: - Great prices - Convenient location - wide variety of middle eastern foods + ingredients - fresh products - excellent olive bar - a quick and easy check out CONSIDER SHOPPING ELSEWHERE IF: - you care about your car (the parking lot is ALWAYS a nightmare due to its design, limited number of spots, stray shopping carts + aggressive customers waiting to park) **Pro tip- if you are able to carry your groceries, there is free legal street parking in the rear of the building which is almost never utilized ** - you have nut allergies (I believe there are barrels of assorted nuts throughout the store available for purchase by the pound) -you are chlostrophobic (the aisles are narrow and the store itself can get very busy at times) - you do not enjoy being followed as you shop. (During my last two trips to Mecca Mart, staff members were (very obviously) following me as I shopped, as if I were going to steal something. It was unwarranted, unnecessary, and uncomfortable - to say the least) Hope this helps!"

"I like this place. There are many options for dairy products and meats. They are a bit expensive on some items and the parking lot spaces are tight and crowded. But overall a great place to shop for halal food and snacks."

"4 stars for the cleanliness and beauty of the store, and for my love of Lebanese culture as I used to live in Beirut. However, I take 1 star because of the older man in the cooking section who behaved disrespectfully. I ordered the shawarma, but he did not do anything. Then, other clients came, who spoke Arabic, and he was happy to serve them, but not me. He was doing everything extremely slowly, staring at me every minute, and I couldn’t understand what his problem was. I had placed my order before, but I needed to wait for 15 minutes until he finished with other clients who were ordering a lot. What made me leave was when he placed food boxes on the bread for shawarma that were not covered and had been prepared for my order. The guy obviously had some issues, and it seemed discriminatory. I hope this comment will be seen by management."

"Love the store , most of the time stuff are real nice & helpful. I m so glad finally have a halal meat store near my area. They need to bring more Indian food , spices , fishes . The meat section very clean, very rarely make mistakes while taking order . And did u see that sign infront of meat section? 24 years I am living in NYC, never seen one♥️Much respect ♥️"

"I’ve been shopping at Mekkah mart for over 5 years and I haven’t shopped anywhere else since then. The prices are great compared to other stores, meats are the best in tasting and prices, vegetables are always fresh. They always have the Seasonal fruits and vegetables before other stores. The staff are always helpful and cooperative, management are always there to solve any problems. I love shopping at mekkah mart!"
