Phoenician Market

I have been shopping there over 20-some years. There are other middle eastern groceries in the Brunswick area, but this is the best one in my opinion. Good quality products in a clean and well-organized store. What sets them apart is how warm and helpful the owners who take turn running the store. Everyone, not just middle easterners, can enjoy the high-quality cold cuts, cheeses, breads, jams, olives, baked goods, spices and frozen meals. The baked goods are beyond good and make wonderful gifts. Arabic and Turkish coffee blends beat almost anything you would find in a supermarket. It is a hidden gem in North Brunswick.

This is the best place I know of to find middle eastern foods. I've been a few times now, and the staff have been friendly and helpful. We get everything we need for Lebanese and Syrian meals and treats.

Great Middle Eastern food and ingredients. Prices are fair. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Best imported Middle Eastern items . Turkish coffee. Lebanese delights.

Pita bread there goes out fast (because it’s fresh and very good). In my basket now : fig jam (Lebanon), halva (Egypt), fig cookies (Syria), tea biscuits (Turkey), goat cheese (Syria and Egypt), feta chese (Bulgaria), olives on open (Greece) and not to forget my tiny packets of Giglets chewing gum (Lebanon). (I go there since 1988 and no, I am not a mid-easterner).
I was there today too, a dozen of buckets with all kind of olives : black, raw, pickled, pitted, small, big, stuffed etc.
I feel like buying the whole store especially when i am hungry !!!

They have everything you need and are very nice and helpful. The same family has been running the shop for years. The pita bread is very fresh, as are the spinach and meat pies, available on weekends.

This is a quaint little store that is family owned and been a staple for getting my family's middle eastern groceries for as long as I can remember--more than 15 years. The shop is always clean, the staff is always friendly, the prices are very fair, the store/parking is easy to get to, and if you are there in time on the weekends the pita bread is hot and freshly baked from the sister bakery across the street. If you are middle eastern/egyptian like I am, and from the area it is likely that you already frequent this store. If you aren't and want to branch out your palate to some of the best cuisine in the world, this is where you will find your building blocks.

Great variety of products and good value for money

They are friendly. Very good quality Mediterranean food (Egyptian and Lebanese). The store is very clean that's why I drive 45 minutes to an hour to buy what I need. Thank you for a great service.

This is a great place to get whole wheat pita bread, inexpensively. Also, the only place I know to get a can of pureed chick peas with pureed sesame seeds, to which I can add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and paprika to make hummus dip, which I eat with their pita bread. A can of their pureed hummus ingredients only costs $1.25 and makes two batches of hummus, each of which is good for 3 people. And they have all kinds of dried fruit, pistachios without shells or salt & many kinds of olives. It's a great place for middle eastern food, very affordable, and run by Lebanese Christians. And I love their spinach pies, stuffed grape leaves and small, stuffed peppers. Quite excellent, for at least the past 27 years that I've been going there. They speak Arabic, they eat Arabic food, and yet they are Christian, like millions of people today in the Middle East, the place where Jesus was born, raised, preached, and died-in what we call the Middle East, today. And some of this food in the Middle East was around thousands of years ago, before Arabic was spoken in Lebanon, before Jesus was alive-timeless Middle Eastern food from the many civilizations and peoples that have lived there-quite excellent, interesting and healthy food of which many of us Americans know very little. Come check it out, this is a great place to explore real Middle Eastern food, like Evelyn's Restaurant on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick-you will love it!

I have been shopping here for many years. Always helpful and friendly staff. Fresh pita bread, great selection of olives and cheeses, a great variety of spices and the spinach pies are fresh and delicious. A vast selection of pastries. A good selection of frozen products like Mlukhiyah.

My favorite place to shop all Middle Eastern food. They also have a large choice of pita bread with great quality!

I love this market! Their fresh pita is amazing! It is my favorite place for feta, tahini, anise seeds and olives. Prices are great.
Last time I was in, a customer ahead of me purchased some dried dates and gave me one to try. Now I have another favorite item to stock up on.

Good store, good service and good people

Best olive bar around, fresh spinach pies, feta cheese, spices, fresh pita bread, and mmmmm smoked turkey. So good....

Always has a great selection of canned, fresh, and frozen middle Eastern foods and spices. Good prices.

Great olives, fresh and inexpensive. Also, if you like halvah, they have almost a whole aisle full. We also love their Bulgarian feta.
