Iowa City Halal Food And Grocery

It's ok for a halal store. Not to many options, but their beef and chicken are good.

The owner of this place is always smiling and he is very welcoming and kind and happy to help you get what you need. So I was very happy to see that he expanded his little store. This place offers Middle Eastern/Mediterranean, Indian, and African groceries, spices, veggies, frozen foods, etc. Their Halal meats are good and I personally purchase their lamb and beef. I like that the owner is knowledgeable of his products because when I haven’t tried a certain brand of food and ask him about it he will tell me if it truly differs from the brand I know, even if it will convince me to buy the cheaper option. You can call ahead of coming in and ask them to prepare the meat products you want by weight, type, and cut and they will ask for your pick-up time so it is ready to pick-up. This is very convenient if you just want to quickly drop-in.

Nice place to shop for both local and international groceries, African recipes too.

Great smelling incense cones and cool banana milk drink. Good prices.

You can get all African foods here and the staff are friendly. Check for their prayer time because they might close when praying, but they open back in about an hour.
