One of my favourite stores to visit! Everytime I visit Calgary, I plan to make a stop here without fail! The cheese selection has enough for everyone's tastes. The confectionaries from Dubai are delectable, lots of pistachio, rose, and mixed nuts to choose from in nougat, gelatin and other varieties! They carry lots of other household staples to amp up for cooking! Highly recommend you take a stop in!

Wow! I just discovered the braided cheese. DELICIOUS. As good as many world cheeses, like Italian caciocavallo or middle Eastern squeaky cheese. I'm excited to find this excellent local cheeserie and try the clotted cream too. The yogurt is also great. Wonderful!

I purchased a jar of Maqdoos from your store, which unfortunately was spoiled. I returned it and it was replaced, which I appreciated. However, the replacement jar was also spoiled. Additionally, I was told this would be the last time Maqdoos could be returned, which made me feel expected to accept the product regardless of its condition. I later contacted the store and requested to speak with the owner. My phone number was taken, but I have not received a response. This experience does not reflect the level of service I would expect for a 5-star rating. I hope we can clarify this and improve the experience moving forward. Thank you

Bought makdous of chinook brand from a third party. Expiration date is good as shown in pic and looks rich with lots of nuts. when I went to try it, it tasted acidified and stale. It’s Very misleading from the source.
