Let me start by saying, if I can't find it here I will drag myself to the local chain grocery store. I'll be sad but I won't be mad.
This store has fabulous looking pastries and cakes, all made in-house. I'm not a sweets person so I just "appreciate" as I walk by the display case. I will admit, they are wearing me down. I'm sure my wife and I will engage in a full-on sugar/honey fest some rainy Saturday afternoon.
There is a good dried and sundry section that is filled with very fairly priced, quality items. Cold-pressed olive oil; not a problem. Pomace or grapeseed oil; it's there too. Oh look, semolina flour!! The selection of pickled items is impressive. I get all of my canned pomodoro tomatoes and tomato paste there for cheap, cheap, cheap.
All good and lots of fun, but, the reason I return again and again are the butcher and deli sections. Plump chickens and chicken breasts, whole and skillfully trimmed. Lamb shanks. Beef roulade. A single package medley of veal bones and meat that will be a whole meal with delicate sauce. Liver. Pork Chops. Roasts. Hearts & Gizzards. Shanks. Nicely marbled steaks. Again. cheap, cheap, cheap!!
The deli has a limited but well thought out selection of meats, cheeses and olives. The pita and loaves of bread are always very fresh and, once again, cheap, cheap, cheap.
The shop appears to run by the entire family. You will find the staff to amicable but gruff. They are there to take care of business not babysit a bunch of foodie tourists.
The quality is very good and the prices are very fair. It's definitely worth a visit. -

* Inexpensive Persian market *
You've just got to love when the name of a business is so direct and honest!
North Vancouver has a nice selection of Persian food, and this mid-sized shop is one I hadn't wandered into before. I found a large butcher section with very fresh looking meat, a Persian grocery section that had a reasonably priced wide variety of products, a deli counter with some very fresh looking products including cheeses, olives, etc.
Perhaps the highlight is that they have very inexpensively priced Persian breads - VERY inexpensively priced. The same ones you find at many of the other Persian markets around this part of town, but priced lower. Not sure how they pull that off exactly. Nifty trick though - but I wouldn't expect anything but straight shooting from a place with such a direct name!Listed in: Vancouver Middle Eastern Food
