Lal International Marketplace

Always nice and helpful when me and my husband enter and visit the store. The wife is always nice to us and always greets me as " "sister ", feel so welcomed & love coming back to this store for my husband’s traditional African ingredients. It’s def a hidden gem 💎

Wanted to try making some Dubai Chocolates and they ended up helping me gather the ingredients for it!

Not exactly fully Indian, not fully African, Middle Eastern, etc, but a good representation of all of them. Great place to get lost in, wondering what to cook with the bounty of exotic spices. Don't know how much of their stock is affected by international logistics issues, but some spices were not in stock, to be restocked "soon".

I'm from the SF Bay Area, and I've visited my share of international grocery stores and import shops. I have yet to visit one where I saw African products of any sort. Maybe I just didn't see it. This shop has your basic supply of South Asian and Middle Eastern products, but it also has some Ghanaian and Nigerian spices like their version of habanero, culinary products like egusi, fufu powder of both plantains and yams. Sure it's not a big selection, but where would you find even this?

Great place to get Mediterranean food products, and my friend loves to get ghana yams from here every time. Good service. A lot of products are hard to find at other stores but this store has it all...

First time there in the store, have a variety of things I need. Customer sales are very nice and offered me a free drink for welcome to the store I felt like my welcome.
