The most delicious & crispy croissants, pastries, and falafel anywhere in Rochester. (Flour City Bakery doesn’t even come close!) My first visit blew me away with the vast assortment of imported food and non-food items, the hot homemade Mediterranean dishes, and the range of pita selections and other breads are wonderful too - and comparatively cheap! We’re so lucky to have this market in Rochester. There’s nothing like it!

This ethnic food market offers a great deal of authentic Middle Eastern food items. Apparently the store is opening in different phases, but as of now, it looks like a full blown supermarket.I recommend trying their fresh made food from their kitchen and the Turkish coffee and pastry. I had first hand contact with the owner family and they seem hard-working, simple, honest people.Some of the food items coming from overseas are really good quality, almost organic by nature. For example, high fructose corn syrup does not exist in many of those countries this products are sourced from. all they use is natural sugar.As a rule, if the ingredient list of in a jam fits in half a line that means it’s a good quality and reliable. Alternatively, if the ingredients consist of one full paragraph I do not bother buying it.

Amazing store with a cafe to relax and have to tea after shopping! Always buy my halal meats from here for quality and price. Must try their Nema Hot Soujouk and Chocolate Baklava. Love this place!

Found this place by pure luck! Plenty parking space, huge store by not all aisles are packed and full, regardless they have a lot of essential items. Clean and well stocked. I loved it. Variety of foods from all over the world, mostly Turkish and Mediterranean.

Probably the best lamb kebab I’ve ever ever had; the flavor was great, and the pieces were juicy and tender. The rice was also very moist and flavorful.

I found exactly what I was looking for, a very specific Mediterranean pastry ingredient for a very reasonable price. Everyone was courteous and helpful. There were many new-looking but empty coolers...I expect they will have an even broader grocery selection when those are up and running!

They had plenty of great items and we are excited to go back. I am only rating it a 3 because a good portion of the shelves were empty. I think they just moved to this location so I can understand a bit. If you like dates this is your place, half of the produce department was every type of date you could imagine.

The original store was small, but had everything we needed. The owners were very approachable and friendly. We never left empty handed. In fact, I usually left with items that I wasn’t shopping for. Sad to say,the new store is a disorganized poorly stocked disappointment. The brand new shopping carts are dirty and the store has a very strong fishy odor. The prices are outrageous too. I was looking forward to visiting the cafe, but couldn’t risk getting sick from unsanitary tables. I’m not sure if I will ever return. Whoever is managing needs to insist upon a clean and organized establishment.

There is a very nice selection of food in this marketplace. My son bought a box of Turkish Delights and jelly-filled Croissants. We also wanted to see the other items in the store since this was our first time in the store since it opened for business.

The most delicious new flavors I’ve ever tasted in a while, everything in this place is amazing, the food and desserts from the cafe are spectacular and the service is great, do yourself and your appetite a favor and come to this amazing experience of a restaurant, believe me your soul will be rewarded, I don’t know the names of the food we tried but everything is amazing

I've been on the quest for a burger reminiscent of my favorite spot in NYC, and I've finally found it here.The burger is incredibly fresh with locally sourced meat, juicy, and spiced to perfection. Surprisingly, this hidden gem, known for its Mediterranean cuisine, offers a delightful fusion of Turkish, Indian, Arabic flavors. The variety of baklavas is a pleasant surprise beyond the usual types.Beyond burgers, they serve lamb, goat, chicken butter, and more. My girlfriend enjoyed their goat and rice with eggplant – a delicious choice worth trying. Give this place a shot!P.S. they have Peruvian products for those who are searching far and wide in Rochester.

Usually is a good place but recently they haven't had the things that I've been needing in stock and have no idea when they're going to be getting them. If they actually finished the store it would be a decent I do love the fact that I'm able to get some of the things that I tend to frequently use the staff is usually very very nice and their products are decent and well packaged. Definitely looking forward to them hopefully adding

We had lunch at the café and the selection of Greek and Turkish food we tried was delicious!The staff was super friendly and helped us understand every dish and ingredients, and the Turkish coffee and Baklava we had for dessert was fabulous. Highly recommended spot!

Nice store when you're looking for some odds and ends that you can't find at Wegmans or tops it might be available here. The only issue is trying to find what you're looking for as it's not necessarily orderly and how things are stocked. Still Limited fresh and frozen stuff available but they have the space for it which will be very abundant once it does happen. Definitely a lot of potential with this store. They even have a cafe inside and a deli. Definitely check it out if you like cooking and are looking for some spices or ingredients that you might not find somewhere else.

The Café is so peaceful and beautiful. I love to shop here and then have tea and apple turnover pastry, it’s absolutely delicious!! Great place to shop with great prices and amazing cafe to relax afterwards. It’s like a mini world foods store. Love it!

As an international, I am more than satisfied with the selection, especially on Turkish stuff. I am not sure if I could find this variety in my grocery store back in Turkey. Top notch!

Nice selection of Halal meat on a good price. Specially try their sirloin steaks.The whole chicken cutup is sometimes not cleaned and cut up properly as the bones are broken. It is also sometimes too big of a size.Good variety of halal and Arab groceries.The new place is amazing. It is very well organized and huge. Very neat and clean and properly marked isles

This is a great store for variety of international products. I have been going here for long time had no problem with any of there products. Looking at some other reviews about their sodas, I have never had any issues with any of my sodas :)

The International Food Market is just amazing. Great prices, great selection, lots of wonderful ingredients that you just can't find anywhere else. When you're looking for spices, rice, dried beans, preserved fruits, a great selection of coffees and teas, this is the place to come.

This place is a real Gem of rochester, with diverse International Food ranging from their core items of Turkish food to the Middle East to Africa. The dine-in experience is also fantastic, got a Beyti Kabob and Turkish coffee

Decided to stop here on our way through the area. Excellent variety of foods from all over the world. I didn’t order from the cafe but the seating area looked extremely nice!

We and my family came to have dinner we ordered our food 45 mins ago and it still didn’t come. The service is bad when we were ordering I was middle of my sentence when she saw another customer and just left.. what the heck. We wanted boxes for our leftover food, I rung the bell at least 3 times and she still didn’t come, she wasn’t even busy with another customer. Don’t recommend this place if you’re looking for food.

This place is simply amazing! My best friend and I are currently homeless/living in her car here in Rochester, NY. We normally stay around the Walmart in Webster but found a hotel in Henrietta to stay at roughly 2 weeks ago or so. We both have our moments when we want to try new foods so we went there and she stayed in the car while I went grocery shopping (she wasn’t feeling good). Never been there before so I got a cart and did what I normally do and go through the store seeing what I do and don’t like. Long story short there were plenty of things I either like or wanted to try but ended up only getting a drink because of the lack of being able to heat up the food. Went to the register and this is how the conversation went, “Is this it?”, “Yes sir.”, I forget what he said next but basically gave me the drink for free then said “One moment…”, after he said that he went through a couple aisles and came back with probably a grocery bag worth of food and drinks. I broke down in tears at his generosity and kindness, explained how my friend and I are homeless, how much his actions meant to our situation and promised I would definitely be back when our situation is better. I 110% plan on keeping that promise! There’s so many food options I’ve been wanting to try that they have for a fairly decent price that I’m NOT missing out on! ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

Great selection of fresh Halal foods and non-Haram ingredients in the prepared food. Kebab was great! Plenty of Turkish and International desserts like baklava and various teas/coffees. Olives and Mediterranean groceries best in town!Came here on a rainy day, but when I left I saw a double rainbow! Truly fantastic cultural addition to the area.
