Vattan Halal Meat and Groceries
A Memorial Drive SE butcher and grocery serving the Marlborough and Forest Lawn side of the city, with South Asian pantry staples alongside the meat counter — the usual arrangement in a shop where the weekly shop and the meat order happen in one stop. There is a second Vattan in Saddletowne on this map. What to buy T-bones and the cuts done in front of you are what the good reviews describe, and the counter takes visible pride in the butchery. The grocery side carries things that are hard to find elsewhere - nail henna gets a specific mention. Good to know Prices are the draw, described as unbeatable by more than one regular. Inspect before you pay, and unwrap before you drive off. The complaints on this page are serious and specific: beef that had spoiled by the time it was opened at home, and lamb that turned out to be frozen through. Both reviewers say they did not check in the shop. Ask about the supplier and the grinding schedule - both get straight answers here. Step-free entrance. Rated 4.6 from more than 150 Google reviews.
