Such a nice store! Clean, spacious and airy. Diverse selection. The meat department even has a butcher area which is great.the little cafe too! Stopped by for Turkish coffee and it was delicious, very nicely presented. I'm a fan!

My wife and I came looking for potsticker wrappers, not realizing that "International" is focused mainly on Turkish and Middle Eastern foods. It was a fortunate mistake though, because this place was much more than we expected. Walking in, you first see the clean, modern cafe. Since we quickly determined they didn't have the wrappers we came for, we instead got lunch. A helpful and patient guy at the cafe explained what everything was. My wife got a potato-filled pastry and a chicken-filled pastry. I got a chicken kabob bowl, a sweet cheese-filled pastry, and some fruity soda. The chicken bowl was the standout for me -- the chicken was crispy and well seasoned, the rice was well cooked, and there was some seasoned onions and cucumber on top. Generous portion for, I believe, $12. I'll definitely be back because I always enjoy a baklava and they had, by my count, 10 different types of baklava. We also saw a lot of interesting grocery items we'd like to explore when we have more time.

I heard in this market there is a Brazilian section that has Brazilian coffee and soda, so I went. I got what I went for, some black currant drinks and more. The butcher shop has a variety of meat. I saw goat heads, goat chops, lambs shoulders, beef tongues, these you usually don't see in other markets. I got some goat chops and they are delicious!

Wow I'm so glad we stopped at this store! First thing when we parked, I noticed the owner of the store literally washing every single shopping cart. I've never seen anyone wash a shopping cart anywhere ever? So I knew going into the store that it would be super clean. And it was! Immaculate! They have a humongous variety of items. I found specialty items that I haven't been able to purchase since moving to Rochester over 10 years ago. I'm so glad to have explored this market. Definitely come check it out!

So they have moved in the last few weeks to this new location m. To give you an idea where they are, in a strip mall next to LaserTron and across from Walmart. They are still getting things set up but it's a bigger space. When you walk in to the left hand side is the cafe, they have all kinds of treats, teas, spices, fresh and frozen things. It's worth a visit. They share parking

Stumbled on their new space today, had not visited their old location in a while, BUT the new location will be a regular stop for me! It is huge and amazing. The new location opened in early 2023 and is huge, and already has much to offer, yet, they are working to get the entire space set-up and hooked up. Amazing butcher area with chicken, beef, lamb and more. The Seafood butcher shop is not operational yet, but is large and very inviting looking. The fruit and vegetable area is also just starting to be setup, but it is VERY promising! Full of wonderful looking products from across the middle east area. From spices, tea, oils, cheeses to sweets and treats! The cafe looked wonderful, steam tables ready to be filled with goods and plenty of nice tables to sit and relax, sadly not open when we stopped in, but they are working hard to get the entire enterprise up and operating. We are VERY EXCITED to see where and how this builds. It looks to be an actual challenge to the large grocery chains in town.
