AL-KARMEL MEAT MARKET — Attraction in Anaheim

I wish I lived closer! This would be my go-to market, I’m still down to drive here. It’s worth a trip to get incredibly fresh meat and produce. Such a gem! There’s a bakery that makes fresh pita bread, pizza and sesame bread. Some breads are ginormous in size!

There’s bulk bins with offerings of dried goods such as lentils and nuts. Fresh lychees that are sweet and juicy. A nice selection of ripe produce with many fruit in season. I stocked up on cucumbers, tomatoes and honey tangerines.

Their meat section is impressive and they’ll cut your meat how you like. So many options of yogurt, cheese, tzatziki and cremes that I need to learn how to cook with.

You’ll find a whole row of canned/jarred goods like olives, pickled cucumbers, and sardines. Plenty of coffee and tea options and a nice section with biscuits and other sweet treats.

There’s free parking out front, and they have the best shopping carts with omni wheels that move in all directions making it super convenient to shop with.

Everyone who works there is so friendly...

Al-Karmel Supermarket is one of the best local grocery stores I’ve visited. The store is always clean, well-organized, and stocked with a great selection of fresh produce, meats, and Middle Eastern products that are hard to find elsewhere. The quality of their goods is excellent, and their prices are very reasonable.

What really sets Al-Karmel apart is the customer service. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you find what you need. Whether you’re doing your weekly shopping or just stopping by for a few items, the experience is always smooth and pleasant.

Highly recommend Al-Karmel for anyone looking for quality, variety, and...

I watched this place come to life—back when it was just a humble sandwich truck in the parking lot. Since then, I’ve never stopped coming. As a Palestinian, I step into this market with my head high. It smells like home. It feels like my grandmother’s kitchen. It sings with the flavors of olives from our groves, spices from our souks, and bread that carries the stories of our land. This isn’t just a market. It’s a living tribute to Arab resilience, to Palestinian pride, to the hospitality carved into our hearts. Here, every shelf holds more than ingredients—it holds memory, identity, and the unshakable beauty...
