I can’t comment on the store itself, but first impressions of the little I saw weren’t the best.
What I can however comment on is the staff and the owner. I have a disability and I can’t walk far, so I need to park close to the shop I am shopping at. For reference I was using a shop that shared access at the rear, so I used islams foods car park since it didn’t have signage saying customers use only, I didn’t think there would be any problems.

Was previously a loyal customer but unfortunately...
Read moreRepeat visits and good range of food and service remains the same. I brought a friend with me who'd never been befire and she thoroughly enjoyed herself.
Yeah, after moving to the region, I've found a goodie cave of International food. I enjoyed my 1st visit.
Fresh, tinned and frozen food.
Food labelling - many labelled in a range of international languages, but not all. Staff at till were very friendly, so I'm sure I can ask for translation, particularly to check if vegetarian or for allergies.
Accessibility - electronic main doors, no steps, reasonably wide aisles and small car park at the rear.
Car Park (free) - a small car park at the rear via the side street.
Staff - very friendly, jokey...
