Reviews of Shaheen Grocery, Bakery and Halal Meat
from GoogleMost impressive. While killing time waiting for my vehicle to be repaired I stumbled across this grocery store that I might normally pass by with little or no interest. To be frank it doesn't really look like much from the outside however when you get inside it really dramatically changes. Guys you have to come in here it actually turned out to be quite the incredible experience. If you love seeing and discovering new things this place surely won't let you down. Just their tea selection alone makes it a worthy destination.. find so many different types of high quality teas that you will be quite mesmerized by the selection. They having a outstanding and high quality assortment of Honey s of the best quality at a price that is more than fair. I've seen honey products twice as expensive on other locations such as health food stores and what not. I've posted many pictures for you to see what am I talking about and what type of choices that you can expect to find there and I hope you enjoy the things that I found special about this place.
Pretty amazing place, especially for the Hala meat but I’ve had multiple issues with incorrect charges at this store, which is becoming concerning. On three separate visits, items that did not belong to me were added to my bill. The first time, there was over $50 worth of extra meat items, which was noticeable right away. The second time, I was charged about $15 for bread I didn’t purchase. Most recently, samosas were added to my receipt, and I’m not sure how that happened. While mistakes can happen, this pattern suggests a need for better accuracy at checkout. Cashiers should take extra care to ensure that only the correct items are being scanned and charged. I recommend double checking receipts before leaving the store. I hope the management addresses this issue to improve customer trust and service quality. Also, if an item is expired, please remove it from the shelves instead of placing a sale sign on it
⭐☆☆☆☆ I had a very disappointing experience at Shaheen Grocery. The customer service was extremely poor, and the staff were rude and disrespectful. Instead of treating customers with courtesy and professionalism, they made me feel unwelcome. I expected much better service, but unfortunately, this was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves how they treat their customers.
Absolutely terrible experience at Shaheen Grocery. The customer service was extremely disappointing, and the staff were rude, unhelpful, and acted like customers were a problem. The prices were unreasonable, and the overall shopping experience was frustrating from start to finish. I honestly regret shopping here and will not be coming back. There are much better places to spend your money. I would not recommend this grocery store to anyone.
I purchased dairy products from this store on January 19 for breakfast. The next morning (January 20), shortly after eating, my entire family experienced severe nausea and vomiting. After checking what we had eaten, we discovered that the dairy product was expired by almost a month. This was not a minor issue — my children had to be taken to the emergency department, and the incident was reported to AHS. When I contacted the store to ensure the expired product was removed from shelves, the only response I received was that they would credit the item on my next visit. There was no apology, no concern, and no acknowledgment of the harm caused. Selling expired food — especially dairy — is dangerous. The lack of accountability and empathy shown by this store is extremely disappointing. I would strongly caution families, especially those with children, to be very careful shopping here.
Best Afghan and Iranian grocery store with the best stuff.
Your new cashier is an absolute liability. He’s rude, unprofessional, and clearly has no business dealing with the public. I don’t know if he’s your brother or cousin because the family resemblance is hard to miss, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior. Worse, I’ve personally witnessed him trash talking customers the second they walk out the door. That’s not just unacceptable; it’s a surefire way to destroy whatever reputation you have left. Hire better, or train who you have. This is embarrassing!
Excellent customer service at Shaheen. The staff are always smiling and make you feel genuinely welcome. Great quality meat and very fresh products every time. Highly recommended.
About Shaheen Grocery, Bakery and Halal Meat
Halal meat, fresh naan and Iranian and Afghan groceries are all under one roof at this store on 54 Avenue NE.
Start at the meat counter, then look at the fresh naan and the dry fruit selection. The tea and honey are a highlight, with many types of tea and good-quality honey at fair prices. Iranian and Afghan pantry goods are hard to find elsewhere in Calgary, so plan this as a trip rather than a quick stop. Some customers praise the staff for being friendly and the meat for being high quality.
Before you go
Diners say the products are very fresh, and the staff always make you feel welcome, so it is worth a visit. The store looks plain from the outside, but inside it is a real surprise, so take a look around and allow time to browse. Ask staff if you need help finding something. The shop is wheelchair accessible.
