Bismillah Meat and Grocery
A halal butcher and Pakistani grocery in The Port plaza on 109 Ave NE - a meat counter at the back, South Asian staples on the shelves, and a regular trade from the newer northeast communities around it. What to buy Chicken is the thing regulars plan around: it comes in fresh every Wednesday, and one says it is the only raw chicken they buy. Mutton and beef are the other two that get named - one family now buys both here and nowhere else. The cuts come clean and well trimmed. Good to know In April 2024 Alberta Health Services closed it, with seven other Calgary halal shops, over uninspected meat; AHS lifted the orders once the shops documented approved sources. Reviewers describe a clean store and friendly service. Open 10am to 8pm, every day. Delivery available.
