Home / Grocery

The Grocery.

Six aisles of pantry staples, spices, breads, oils, cheeses and sweets — sourced from family producers across the Levant, the Maghreb, Turkey and South Asia.

What's on the shelves

The pantry, three decades in the making.

We restock most aisles weekly so the spices stay fragrant and the breads stay soft. If we don't carry something you need, ask — chances are we can have it on the shelf within a week.

Bring a list. Bring a recipe. Bring your grandmother's. Our staff knows the difference between Egyptian rice and basmati, between Aleppo pepper and Urfa, and they'll point you to the right one.
