Looking for good Middle Eastern and Greek markets for spices (sumac, ras el hanout, zatar) and other basics - olives, phyllo, feta - the usual stuff. Thu May 22 14:16:10 -0700 2008 194488 kostas444 1 3712831 The two Middle Eastern markets I know of are within a couple of blocks of each other in the Tenderloin. There's a Greek market on Mission near 19th and another way down Mission in Daly City. If you're ever in Berkeley, check out Indus Foods. Thu May 22 14:25:50 -0700 2008 3712798 11369 Robert Lauriston 1 3712854 Samiramis has a lot of good Greek and Middle Eastern foods. Haig's Delicacies has them to a lesser extent (it does not identify as a specifically Greek or Middle Eastern store). Thu May 22 14:33:57 -0700 2008 3712798 12456 Euonymous 1 3712856 Welcome! I agree with Robert's suggestions, but Hellenic American Imports and Greek Imports in Daly City don't have a ton in the way of food and spices. But if you're looking for Greek CDs or movies, they are pretty good choices! ;-) I get almost all my Middle Eastern and Greek spices/fbasics at two markets in the Sunset District - Parkside Market on Taraval and 16th, and 22nd & Irving Market. For feta, you can't beat the price at Costco for good French feta, but the markets mentioned above carry Greek, domestic, Bulgarian and French at good prices. I get my ras el hanout from Bi-Rite in the mission - a great independent market you should know about. Other good markets that are not specifically Middle Eastern or Greek but have much of what you're be looking for include Rainbow Grocery and Andronico's.
