Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Nada Jarad
One of my favorite halal butchers in the area. They stock the fridge daily with fresh pre-cut meat/ poultry so it's easy to stop in and grab what you need quickly. They have a few pre-seasoned options, my favorite are the chicken fajitas. They also have the in-shop restaurant which has a few limited but delicious options (I highly recommend the shish tawook sandwich with everything on it). The store also has all the usual Arabic grocery items. I moved nearby about a year ago and I've been an almost daily customer since (I stop by the butcher in morning to get what I'm cooking for dinner that evening). The staff in the store are very friendly and welcoming. I'm including a picture of the menu because the website isn't updated.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Corey G.
Lovely store for fresh meats and a deli with excellent falafel and shawarma made fresh as you wait. The grill is always hot. And their fries are done up well. Highly recommend this place as a great alternative to fast food joints
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — DULAA MOTORS
I recently visited Good Food Mart and I have to say it was a very good experience overall. The first thing I noticed when I entered was how clean and well-organized the place looked, which immediately gave me a positive impression. I went there mainly to eat shawarma, and I was really happy with both the taste and the quality. The shawarma was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared, and it is honestly one of the better ones I have tried in the area. The portion size was also good and satisfying for the price.
Another thing I really appreciated is that the place is halal, which is very important for many customers including myself. It gives peace of mind knowing that the food is prepared in a proper and trusted way. In addition to the shawarma, the mart itself offers a wide variety of items. I noticed they sell cakes, nuts, donuts, biscuits, milk, and many other useful products. This makes it not only a spot for enjoying food but also a convenient place to pick up daily essentials.
Overall, I would recommend Good Food Mart to anyone looking for a nice halal place with tasty shawarma and a variety of products. It is definitely worth visiting again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Eric Simons
The shawarma is fantastic. You have to get the “Shawarma Burrito”! Friendly and helpful staff that don’t make fun of me for my poorly pronounced attempts at thanking them in Arabic. Nice family store with great quality products.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ramesh Adeef
Amanah Food Mart is my go-to Middle Eastern grocery store in the area! They always have a great selection of authentic Middle Eastern products, from spices and rice to snacks and fresh produce. The best part is their fresh halal meat, which is always clean, well-packed, and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, helpful, and know their customers well. A great place to shop for quality halal groceries and meat all in one stop!
