Phoenicia Mediterranean Food Hall

Mediterranean and middle eastern grocerie shop like no other. fresh baklawa some of the best in the uk. what ever you can think of they probably have it. spices, pickles, cooking condiments, butcher. living healthy was never easier. if you want to shop where Ottolenghi does than this is the place for you. staff are very keen to help and the place is always clean

I really like this shop and wish I could give 5 stars.
They have lots of Mediterranean food options from Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and other places that are hard to find elsewhere.
They also have a butcher and a delicatessen section which sells ready made food in wraps or boxes which is really nice, and baklava type sweets too.
There is also an olive pick and mix section which is great.
The ready made food section is the best part of the shop: they have a pick and mix box section where you can fill a box with tasty Lebanese delicatessens.
This shop has been here a long time and has many great features as I have just described.
Unfortunately in recent times the prices have skyrocketed into very unreasonable territory and some of the ready made food is left out for days on end and then heated up I microwaves when sold. This should not be practiced and I wish they would stop and just sell this food on clearance or something.

I have been shopping at the supermarket part of Phoenicia with no problems for years. The butcher's on the other hand, is another story. I tried to shop at the butcher's weekly but the poor service and attitude was overwhelming to the extent that I started walking further to go to another butchers. I have had this conversation with others who shop at Phoenicia and they also avoid the butchers.

I was short on time today and I went to the Phoenicia butchers and what a mistake that was. The guy at the back had so much attitude from the get go. I was even scared to ask him for anything. I eventually mustered the courage not to be bullied and asked for what I needed. He just kept pointing at the fridge so that he didn't have to deal with me. When I asked him to cube my meat, his face was as if I swore at him. I got what I could and I required a few more items but I just grabbed my purchases and went to the tills by the supermarket and left the rest. The guy at the tills in the supermarket had no issues as usual. It's as if there are different companies.

Honestly, the disrespect and attitude is so overwhelming. No one wants to have their Sunday afternoon ruined just trying to buy some food. It's as if I was begging. I have had this experience more than 5 times at the butchers at Phoenicia that I had to write this review. Please sort this out!

Great food market with a large variety of preserves, herbs, spices, nuts, dried fruits, pickles etc. Very friendly and helpful staff, with decent prices for most items. Some difficult to find spice blends like zatar or berbere spice is also available here.

This shop offers the best and wider variety of Mediterranean food. If you need a rare format of Italian pasta, or delicious fresh baba ganoush, or even just some olives, this is the place for you. Check it out and don't forger to try a fresh pastry with coffee. Inexpensive and heart warming. Edit: just visited after a few years and it's as great as ever!

Incredible selection of North African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, snacks, spices, etc. Quite expensive, but that’s probably to be expected with such shops!

The best rotisserie chicken, the best olives, plenty of foods from all over the world and great meats at a great price. Ticks all the boxes for me.

Very friendly, helpful staff....
You should at least have a wander inside.

Great olive selection. Lots of different ingredients from many countries. Has eatery attached. Halal butcher. Middle Eastern & Mediterranean ingredients. A WHOLE WALL OF HERBS.

Fabulous selection of fresh humus's.
Long aisles of interesting pickles, chill sauces, many different beans, pulses, seeds.
Good for the budding vegatarian interested in different cultural experiences.

Maybe a bit pricey in some items...smoked almonds...BUT there's nowhere around that sells em cheaper.
