Istanbul Supermarket

Amazing remodel. This is the best looking Mediterranean food store I’ve ever seen! Great selection of most goods. Bright and airy atmosphere. Feels like a high end gourmet store in a posh neighborhood. Prices are on the high side. The bakery display had flies in it which was why I deducted 1 star.

Small little store on the back of of the complex. Very clean and put together. People were friendly and the food from the bakery was wonderful! Prices (personally from other international stores I shop at) are a little high depending on what you get! Other than that it’s cute and a wonderful place!

This place is huge, very well organized, clean, beautiful and staff are so welcoming! It offers a wide range of products, Iranian Turkish etc, and even if you can’t fins something, you can ask them to purchase it for you. They offer all sorts of halal meat is nice clean packaging.

Excellent selection of authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean products. Clean store, fresh items, fair prices, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We stopped.on our way through Columbus, we were hoping for some good shawarma. What we got was shawarma/gyro meat spiced like a taco and so much salt it was inedible. Definitely not middle eastern shawarma. The lamacun spice was odd too. I lived in turkey for 5 years, I have never had lamacun taste like that. The simit was stale. The nut kanafa was ok, a bit too much rose water for me but hubby liked it. We bought fresh produce and canned foul, which was about the same price we pay in Pittsburgh where we o ly have 2 stores that sell middle eastern groceries. Overall, we won't go back.

I’m not Middle Eastern so finding new things in this store was fun. I didn’t take a lot of pictures but they have a lot of stuff in there and store is pretty big. I wish I lived closer, went on a Monday and they had fresh hot breads and they were good, I could see myself going in there once a week or more to get fresh bread for breakfast or for the day. But going into the store they have some fresh produce and herbs. Then they have different types of milks, cheeses and butter. My mom was excited because they had several brands of labneh. They had non pork meats/ meat options I grabbed a beef sausage because it had a picture of it being served with eggs. Then they had dry goods aisles like a regular store including a coffee section (found instant coffee with cardamom). All the way in the back is the bread and baklava counter (they have Dubai chocolate too). And one wall is freezers/refrigerator for frozen goods & drinks then the other wall is the fresh meat counter.

Visited recently to grab some sweets and found that their pricing on isle doesn’t match what you will see at register. 20$ product came up as $40+ and another 20$ product showed as 10$ at register. Staff were very polite and friendly and agreed they will check and fix the tags on the isles. Would recommend if you are looking for a good middle eastern market in Dublin area and you don’t mind paying the “dublin price tag”. Plenty of parking, slightly difficult shopping complex to drive out back towards OH315. Was difficult to find the store the first time as it was on other side of building. Found sardines at this store.

I liked it, Very clean, has many products. The staff is friendly and the prices are not bad. Wheelchair accessible.

This small market is extremely clean and well stocked with a huge variety of Halal Turkish items. They are well stocked with fresh produce, butchered meats, bakery items, dairy items, frozen foods and pantry supplies. Everything is super clean and the staff is friendly and helpful! I drive from the East side because this store is so much nicer and more stocked than the stores much closer to me. The prices are fair as well!

This place is unreal. They've moved to this location a few months ago after occupying a store across the street for 15 years. The new place is stunning. Most of their stock is Turkish or middle eastern. The store is clean, well stocked and I just kind of went crazy in there. You see, I've been to Turkey five times so this was a great surprise. They also have their own bakery and meat market. I can't wait to return.

Well-stocked, organized, clean. The bakery has Jerusalem bagels that are delicious...I've only had them in LA and was so happy to find them here. Will be back!

This is a lovely store with helpful staff that can suggest items for you if you need that. Please remember that you are entering another culture when you come in, so be polite and forgiving if it doesn't go as expected. We are all doing our best right now. Interestingly enough, I reported one of the "reviews" for being outright biased, and received the following note from Yelp "Thanks for reporting John S.'s review of Istanbul Supermarket. We wanted to let you know that this review had already been reported to us by a user on Yelp, and that at that time our moderators decided to leave the review in place after carefully evaluating it against our Content Guidelines." So, please feel free to ignore John S's review stating an incredibly rude opinion about the owner. It is not reflective of this market, the owner, or the Columbus community. Do better Yelp. Get help for your anger issues, John...

Excellent source for lamb. Meat looks fresh. Good selection of Mediterranean foods.

Fabulous selection of specialty dairy, baked goods, condiments, olives and meats. Friendly helpful staff, super clean and bright. Our new place for all things Mediterranean in Columbus, as Tensuke is for all things Japanese.

This place like a dream. The store is so clean you almost feel like you're in a furniture store or something. It's almost pristine. They have light music playing and it's just an overall good shopping experience. They have a lot of Turkish and middle eastern staples. They have all the different types of cheeses, olives, plethora of spices, and a solid selection of cookies and biscuits just to name a few. I can't say enough good things about this place. They also have a hot food bar! My husband and I get their beef and kofta wraps all the time. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you get a chance.

Very clean & fresh produce . My great find was Turkish pot $12.99 & coffee with free cup for $5.99.

Great selection of produce every time! I personally favor the bakery, specifically the manaeesh and the other freshly baked breads. I've purchased meat numerous times and it has always tasted fresh. Upon request they will even grind the meat for you, which was very convenient for the recipe I had in mind. Will continue to shop here!

Best place to get halal meat at an affordable price. This grocery store beats, its competitors by a far margin due to its professionalism and cleanliness. The employees are very kind and always helpful. If I cannot find it the product I was looking for the workers always help me look for a close substitutes or give me an estimate of when the product will arrive. The baklava is strictly imported from turkey, which gives it that authentic taste that I've been looking for. Great place will be coming here more often.

What a lovely surprise! This store is so clean, modern and well organized. I especially love the spicy Moroccan olive mix. And the Greek feta cheese is so good and so reasonable. Can't wait to go back and check out more of the Mediterranean goodies!

Wow what a hidden gem! This market is tucked away in a strip mall and I never knew it even existed until I happened to walk by when I was killing time waiting for a table at Meshikou. Apparently they moved locations from around the corner. I have not seen the old location but the current one is obviously still very new, clean, organized, and priced well with a wide range of produce, canned goods, spices, snacks, meat, fresh bakery items, delicatessen, and even fresh food including shawarma. The workers are friendly and eager to help, especially if you're as lost as I was since I don't have much experience with Mediterranean products or food. I ended up trying a few bakery items which were all fresh handmade pistachio baklava desserts and they were so delicious! They sell desserts by the tray which would be perfect for a potluck. Get there early in the day so you have more options to pick from. When I went at 6 pm they were sold out of many items. Will definitely be back again to try more things!

Since this was my first time to a Turkish market, this trip was basically from see what all they have. I was happy with the selection of grocery items. I must admit, I don't have much to compare it with, however. Nevertheless, the two gentleman owners working were fantastic! They described anything I had a question about. Sour. Tarty. A spread. Eat it with a spoon. I did find my favorite German chocolate was sold here. Also picked up a jar of fig jam (for my Turkish cookie recipe). As I continue to learn more about the Turkish culture, and cooking, I know I'll be back!

On a whim, one day, my wife and I decided to stop in the Istanbul Market just to check it out and see what all they had. We were met at the door by a guy who greeted us and held the door open as we entered. That seemed like a sign of things to come, and everyone who worked there seemed nice and happy to that we had come. The market has so many things that one doesn't find in a normal Kroger or Giant Eagle, foods found only in the Mediterranean countries, which made me very happy. They have a number of items that I've found also in Saraga over on Morse Road, but since I really hate driving on Morse, I'm glad to find those items here. One thing that I was especially happy to find was individually sold clementines! I hate having to buy a huge bag of them at Kroger and feel as if I have to eat the whole bag before they start to go bad. At the Istanbul Market, I can buy as few or as many as I want! The same is true of baby cucumbers -- at Kroger, I have to buy a package of 5 or 6, and at least one usually gets mushy before I eat it. At the Istanbul Market, I can get as few or as many as I need! I was also tempted to buy some of the really delicious-looking bread from the bakery, but I know we'd never eat it all before it starts to go bad. Which means that I have to go back to get individual rolls or loaves when we know we'll be able to eat them. I did make off with a variety of frozen foods that I have only ever ordered in Aladinn's restaurant, as well as some pretty cheap cans of grape leaf rolls and a few other staples. For its size, this place has quite a variety of foods, including fresh meats and prepared foods. I was really impressed. So will I go back? Yes! It might be one of my favorite new finds!

Delicious pastry. I suggest Simit and baklava especially. Everything is squeaky clean.

Great place to shop. Has a wide selection of feta cheeses and olives. Every time I go in the staff is super friendly and is always willing to let you sample anything in their bulk cases. I even went in the other day, I had to wait a while because the guy working there was assisting another customer in the back. All I needed was a tomato, and he just GAVE it to me because I had to wait. I am thrilled!

My husband and I have been shopping at IS for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. But I must say that since the new Ownership, we have seen many Improvements. For one, there are more Products and Items to choose from. Store looks more inviting and modern and Staff is absolutely amazing when it comes to Customer Service. Please go and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

Great selection of Turkish and Middle Eastern groceries. A bit pricey for some frozen options but since its the only one in town you forget about the price tag.

It is Turkish grocery whose honest employees are Arabs. Their prices are very reasonable and great place for turks to shop and since the employees are Arabs they carry Arab and some indian groceries. They are extremely clean and it does not smell like other ethnic stores. That is why I prefer them over any other ethnic grocery stores in town. Prices are reasonable and they have many selections. Recommend it definitely. I love their Pinar cheese (made with whole milk, green container). I buy 4-5 containers at a time.
