The first Middle Eastern grocer in Toronto (opened in 1975), the once diminutive 1,200-square-foot shop has grown to a whopping 12,000 square feet. Expansion means even more Middle Eastern staples: akawi and halloumi cheese, zaatar pita, harissa, and freezers full of convenience foods. At the 36-item olive and pickle bar, find smoky black Syrian olives, Lebanese green olives with thyme, pink pickled turnips, tiny pickled lemons and Iranian curry pickle. Shoppers fill their carts with bags of the softest pita in town—it’s baked twice daily. Peruse olive oils, 12 varieties of dates, halal meats and fresh produce.
