The first review said it all! I'd like to add that they have Boar's Head deli products, and do a great Falafel and grape leaves. The Baklava is excellent. The cafe area is clean and cozy, as is the entire store. Nuts and chocolate covered pretzels are way cheaper here than at Whole Foods too. East Side Pockets, watch yer ass!

Delicious marinated grilled chicken, tabbouleh, and hummus in a lavash wrap. Truly phenomenal selection of spices, nuts, coffee and yerba. Bulk cheese, real greek yogurt, and an impressive array of (pitted!) olives fill the refrigerated cases. Hookah's and sweetened tabacco are locked behind a case next to marble chess sets. All this exotic and intriguing items seemed secondary however to the giant snapple refrigerator, menu of uninteresting deli selections(turkey and american cheese, etc...), boars head signs, and miley cyrus playing in the background. I wish it didn't try so hard to be a supermarket and got rid of the white walls and pop music. They embrace the middle-eastern, mediterranean and baltic products and do something fun and exotic. I was so bored eating there!I didn't take the star away for the decor. I took a star away because they didn't have sawarma, yogurt sauce or harissa ... lame... but delicious nonetheless. Also I cannot forget that $7.50 for a wrap is a little outrageous, at least for us regular folk.

What a find -- a Middle Eastern oasis in Cranston! Who knew? This abundantly-stocked deli market serves wonderful, affordable delicacies imported from Armenia, Greece, Syria, Russia, and Turkey. The deli is packed with delish Mediterranean sandwiches but you can get a tuna or roast beef as well! Great prices at about $7.00 each.The market is packed to the gills (herring too!) with bulk feta, Armenian string cheese, greek-style hard cheeses and other cheeses with sheep, goat or cow's milk. The Greek olive bar is $4.99 per lb. as opposed to Whole Foods' $11.99. There are jams, candies, Za'atar, homemade pita chips, luscious dates, dried legumes (about 1/4 of the price of WF), yogurt, grape leaves, and even caviar.I know where I'm going when I have to host the 12 folks in book group next! (The Armenian owner told me he has 2 separate bookgroups who have their meetings there every month.)I can't believe I've driven by this gem so many times on the way to The Artist's Exchange and never stopped in! Plan to make up for lost time.....
