The staff at Al-Taiba is fabulous, very welcoming, and helpful with suggestions. On two separate occasions I have asked about items that they didn’t normally stock. The next time I visited, those items were on the shelf, even though I hadn’t asked for a special order! I love the dairy selections and the two kinds of Iraqi bread that they recently started to carry is out of this world. I can’t get enough of it!!

Wonderful place, excellent customer service, good variety of middle eastern food, very clean, quality and fresh halal meat. Just one suggestion please increase the Asian spices especially Shan variety spices and other Asian food items. Your location is so convenient for me and my friends we would love to get all our items from you, rather than go elsewhere. Thankyou for the great service.

Whenever I need to cook something with meat I come to this store because their meat counter is always impeccably clean. There is a great selection of spices and pickled foods as well, and everyone who works here is friendly. I love this little local market!

Great place to get Middle Eastern or Mediterranean items that you can't find in your everyday grocer. I go here often! Only place I can find dried limes and orange blossom syrup. 😊

An absolute Durham gem. This is our new go-to for halal meats, particularly fresh lamb, but the extensive grocery has Mediterranean and European staples from all over, in addition to Middle Eastern name brands. If you need your fix of ajvar, or zakuska, or your paprika, they have it all here. An important note: they slaughter Wednesday and Saturday, so plan accordingly!

This is a hidden gem in Durham! Best quality meat and reasonable prices. Ask for MJ as he cuts the best steaks just how I like them! Our other favorite items include spices and the variety of nutella cookies. I find something new to love every time I stop by!

It was my first time there. I wanted to make gyros at home. Looked them up and I am very happy with my results. I went into the store and a female approached me and asked if I needed help. I told her what I wanted and she got her son to help me. Awesome family ran store. Customer service was great and they were friendly. I will be going back.

Our best neighborhood market!! We go there for cooking basics, spices, good pita, and they have a great butcher setup in the back. I love having this market right up the street- they’re super sweet folks.

Clean and tidy store, friendly staff with competent English skills, meat market is sanitary, insanely cheap spices/cooking oils, & store is always stocked. Everything is affordable, organized, and a wide variety of pan middle eastern products is available. Favorite ethnic store in Durham; across the street from the Coop grocery so perfect for one stop shopping if you're a member.

Since we live around 30 minutes driving from Al Taiba, so we usually come to this store monthly to stock up our halal meat. Actually there’s another halal market nearby, but we just love their quality products and service they provided. Definitely one of our favorite halal market since we arrived in the US.

Very clean and tender meat. Great service and people working there are very friendly. I was buying goat meat from Raleigh and Morisville but nothing compare to this shop. I recommend everyone who prefers clean and tender meat without fat
