“ I love this grocery store. This is my place to buy all my meat and chicken needs. It's very clean meat section. They have so many different cuts and they do a great job cleaning it. On a regular basis, I get chicken boneless from them cut into cubes. I also like to get chicken tender cut, while chicken and so much more. I have gotten goat meat from them as well and it does not have a weird smell to it. I have gotten goat and lamb chops from them perfectly cut. The goat mixture is good too. I make a slow cooked beef stew and use a beef boti cut from them. In produce they have a good common selection of veggies. They have aisles of other products like sauces, masalas, rice etc. In prepared food they have Mediterranean food available and with really good dips and naan etc. This is the place to go if you want to get halal meat or other grocery needs. It's my favorite place to get my food needs. ”
“ The best food, the best service clean area I have never seen any they have the best biryani go to chicken lamb shank in all different salad there's Shawarma chicken and beef in kebab. I tried it with my family. Wow check it out. I like it going to like it. ”
“ My first review in a year when I am shooting for triple digits! Will see how it pans out. With a large part of our family in the Atlanta area, it's not inappropriate for the first one to be about one of their businesses. I stumbled upon Al Madina - ostensibly a halal variety store - after using the gym next door, aiming to get some sweets. I was not disappointed. They had turkish delights (and some Moroccan specialties too). The variety is eye-opening. When asked, the lady placidly minding the counter reassured me that they are all made with pistachios (seeing how my wife does not care for walnuts). It's more than just baklavas - a couple of the varieties had an interesting texture that conjures up mochis, and that's not a bad thing. All in all (upon tasting later), they are more artisanal than elegant, but definitely lovingly prepared. At about $15 a lb., they're most expensive than some fine chocolates. So, more a curiosity treat than an everyday buy. The store itself is quite clean and brightly lit, especially for an ethnic store. They have everything from prepared food to meats and produce (a bit of a sorry sight). But if you're after a goat's head - with the eye balls - this is the place to be! ”
“ I love that Al Madina is open late around 10pm if I'm not wrong and right off the highway almost (85) My 5 stars is solely based on the grocery store in general. You can buy cute Turkish, irani, Arab style tea sets and cups, halal meat is fresh, halal deli meats, baklava, all kinds of groceries especially stuff you can't find everywhere such as barberries for jeweled rice, tagine seasoning, some saffron for under 10 bucks, nabeel oud home sprays, attar, dried limes and more! As for the food, I came probably towards 7pm and I think most of the shawarma was gone and I didn't want leftover pieces so I went for the chicken mandi I guess. It was $10.99 or so fair piece and good sides such as the grape leaves and baba ghanouj however the chicken and rice flavors I didn't like too much I'd rate them 2/5. Maybe I'll try the chicken shawarma one day with the veggie sides but until then my 5 stars is solely for the groceries! ”
“ Al madina has been a go to in the family for groceries and meals. The food made fresh daily are always a hit. My wife and I love their chicken shwarma and we always ask for extra spice, they always come though. Very friendly service is the icing on the cake! ”
“ You name it, this store has it, and a good Halal market too. Great selection of pastry but quite pricy. They even have a prayer room if you happen to be shopping around prayer time. The little food place is also a nice addition. That's why we drove 22 miles. My husband had lamb with rice, Hummus, Baba ganoush, and I had rice with chicken, Tabbouleh and mixed vegetables. Food was tasty but needed to be warmer. We also enjoyed 0% alcohol Pomegranate beer. The ladies restroom needed some attention, not only cleaning but some fixing too. This was our second time there and most likely we will go back someday. ”
“ Best falafels in Atlanta, and this is truly not up for debate. To know this little gem tucked away in the Halal market is to love it. I've been coming here for 3 years now strictly for falafel wraps and they have yet to disappoint! ”
“ Social distancing, and masks are required. I love Halal seasonings, so I came in to pick up some. Their meat is super clean, and plenty of selections to choose from. I will be back soon. ”
“ What an amazing fusion of cultures and people. If I lived in ATL I would definitely go regularly. They have modest fashionable attire for men and women. I bought a couple of beautiful black pieces with embroidery. They have Islamic home decoration pieces. They have spices and for Middle Eastern food and south Asian foods. They sell halal meat in the back as well as a complete restaurant with delicious food on the side. I was able to get spices, castor oil, a prayer mat, incense, hookah, meat, clothes, snacks, hot cooked food, home decoration pieces all in one place! The service from the owner, employer and other customers was pleasing. I will definitely visit again! ”
