Continental Spices & Grocery 7819 Aurora Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98103

"Have halal goods and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it."

"Went in to the store today and found out that the management has changed and new owners took over. I was half expecting to find expired goods and unfriendly staff but everything we purchased was within its expiration date. The owner was also super friendly and mentioned that they were doing a lot to improve the condition of the store. I would give this place a second chance and support a local business."

"I saw so many bad reviews here but seems like the management also saw it and made some specific improvements. First, it was a very clean store with clean floors and well organized. Second, there was a sign at the front that said "if you don't see a staff person, ring the bell." So if it was ever as bad as the reviews claim, they have fixed these problems. Third thing was I looked at several dry goods and they were all expiring in 2025 so I didn't see any expired items either. It's a small store but lots and lots of GOOD price spices. Cheaper than many other places even winco or DK market! When I went on Saturday afternoon they had only a little meat and no fresh produce, but it's fine for their specialty to be dry goods."

"Walked in on a Friday afternoon - not a person in sight including cashier. Smelled like rotting food - very strong putrid smell. Fridges had a lot of condensation meaning it wasn’t regulating temperatures. Walked out pretty quickly to shop elsewhere."

"Very disappointing. Some of the products I bought here were either past their expiry dates or the date has been striked to not be visible. The chicken meat was quite smelly and old. The store overall is pretty dusty and lacks upkeep. I shall not be returning here."
