Ishtar Mediterranean Market & Grill

My friend suggested I go here to get my dinner. IT WAS AMAZING & DELICIOUS!! Their service, food, everything was very good, I highly recommend this to anyone. I will be going many times more.

I love this store. I have been here several times and I always find something new to try. They are very nice people and the prices are good. Their prepared food is really good. I called to confirm that their Sunday hours are 930 am to 6 pm.

My kids love the kebobs from here - both the chicken and beef ones. The store is extremely clean, the staff is really friendly and they have the best selection of middle eastern spices in the area. The location is convenient and there is always plenty of parking. I love this place!

Very clean and organized. The music qlways jams makes my shopping experience so fun. I always have a pleasant time visiting my cousin Joseph's. He's kind and goes out of his way to help you find the right items that you need. Try the food and thank me later😇

I really like it. I don't know what some people complain about. Yes it is a small menu, big deal. That is why I go there; we want kebabs, or even when my brother just wants the rice. It is very good, and always fresh.

Whenever I go to Turlock to visit my relatives, I stop by Ishtar Supermarket to get my favorite Mediterranean groceries. While I do my shopping I order Kebab. There's place to sit and eat the Kebab and drink tea.

We didn't eat there, just went there to shop as we were visiting from Hawaii. Great selection of items, pretty reasonable prices. The only funny thing was that a security guard came in and followed me around till I paid and he left, not sure what that was about, but we'd still go back.

This is the best Lebanese food in town. Cooked to perfection. My daughter said it is like a party in your mouth. I agree. Love it! We come here monthly. More with lifting of COVID restrictions.

Food was very nice and taste amazing, also bought few things home shopping and prices are affordable 👍👍👍 recommended place

My first time visiting here. Followed the smell as I was very hungry and there was a woman grilling with a fan in her hand while greeting my friend and I. I let her know that its our first time here and she let us know about the simple menu. Chicken breast or chicken thigh or ground beef. And every order comes with rice, roasted tomato and a slice of lemon. I opted for chicken thigh as it would be more juicer. For the meantime, we looked around the store....spices, baklava, biscuits and desserts were from what I can recognize. Bathroom is not available. There is a sassy sign posted that said bathroom out of order, do not ask. I have a feeling that they just don't want people to use their restroom and that sign is posted everyday. Finally got our order. Sat down at a dining table and enjoyed my food. The combo with chicken, rice and tomato was pretty good. The one thing that was odd was that they charge extra for ebt. Otherwise, I had a pretty good service experience. The man and lady though seemed a bit intimidating at first was friendly and made small talk with them. Forgot to mention that my chicken plate was 15 dollars which isn't too bad

It's a small, reasonably well-stocked Mediterranean foods market with a kitchen producing meals in the back and seating at the front. Staff are friendly and helpful. Groceries available include spices, canned/jarred foods, staples, fresh breads and dairy products, dried fruits, nuts. Not much in the way of fresh produce.

The food tastes good m, and they have a good selection of essential ingredients for middle eastern cuisine. However, they do not have a menu for the restaurant, and many of the store items do not have price labels. The lady at the check out is super nice and helpful. The people in the kitchen are not very clear with how you should pay, and do not have the same patience as the check out lady.

The place has a good variety of Assyrian canned food and breads. Some of them are priced some of them not, just the owner- administration-cashier memory, and between customers could be different. I prefer to know how much the things cost before take them. When you ask to the attendant before buy it is not ok, bad attitude in general. Restaurant has two options Chicken kebab or beef and chicken kebab. Cookers are nice. None of them inside the store and kitchen use masks 😷. Prices are ok, a little expensive for the product. In general I felt like non-Assyrian people is not welcome to this place. I like to be honest with my reviews, due to I have a local guidance responsibility. Thanks

Lookes like a very authentic Mediterranean with its spices and music but food experience was not what we expected. We ordered chicken breast and it was to Go. When I opened all it had was chicken , rice , charred tomato and half slice of lemon. There was no salad , no yogurt or shata ! Customer service was poor and no one was wearing masks! There were more staff than customer's. We will not go again.

Nothing wrong with the food or store but the lady that works in the kitchen is very disrespectful
