Aloha Halal Market — Local services in Beaverton

This place (the owner of this place) chasing money and wealth of this World completely forgot about the other World the other Dunya. The products are not the freshest and the price is too high. Actually because the prices are too high they are not sold on time and that's why that store is full of not so fresh products. If they were prices right in the Halal way or at least close to Halal way they would sell much faster and be always fresh. Buying meat from them is like playing lottery, you never know what you're getting. The butcher said it is fresh young meat, I bring it home it cooks like a rubber shoe. Happened at least 4 times. Colorless tasteless and harsh. The filo dough for baklava crumbles and falls apart even if the expiration date is still good. Same Filo dough from Winco is 2$ cheaper and always fresh, doesn't crumble. The pack of Turkish Ravioli used to cost 3 something dollars just a month ago, now it is 9+ bucks for the same size and type ravioli. A gallon of ayran (thats just a cup of yogurt and water) is 10 bucks. Sweets, cheese, frozen goods EVERYTHING is ridiculously overpriced. I understand that they need to make money, but nothing about this is Halal. Make prices reasonable so more costumers would prefer your store. All Halal stores are guilty of this, but this location is the worst. For the good things I have to say about this store is that the selection of items is very good. They have products that many nationalities and cultures will enjoy. Turkish, Syrian, Egyptian, Greek, even Armenian and many more. The selection and brands is great. The store itself is always clean and well stocked, never seen empty shelves, or messy boxes on the floor. Always...

So I went to Aloha halal market to get some Ingredients to surprise my friend that was coming over to visit. They do have a dietary restriction which only allows them to eat Halal Food due to religious purposes. So I couldn't just go to Winco or any regular grocery store to get these specific halal ingredients. So I came here to find all the ingredients I needed which I did and I learned so much on the internet about what it means to be Halal. Halal is an Arabic word that simply means lawful or permitted, but generally refers to what’s allowed under Islamic law. It’s the opposite of haram, which means prohibited. Some things are very clear-cut halal or haram, however, as with a lot of religious law, other things can be open to interpretation. So I need to buy some meat that's why I couldn't go to any regular grocery store because for meat to be certified halal, it must be slaughtered in a manner known as dhabiha. That means to drain all blood from the carcass. In Islam, the consumption of blood is considered haram/not-allowed. A Muslim must recite a dedication known as tasmiya or shahada during this process. Not all meat can be made halal, regardless of how it was slaughtered. Animals that are always haram/not-allowed to eat include: Pork and its by-products are strictly forbidden, Donkeys, mules, and horses, Fanged animals (cats, dogs, bears, etc),Birds of prey,Reptiles and Some other animals such as monkeys. Overall I would recommend coming here if you are like me cooking for someone who has a restriction on food of the religious purpose, or you yourself are in the religion and just want to come and find some Halal...

I recently purchased a jar of honey from this store, and I was very disappointed with the experience. I typically purchase the same type of honey from other stores, but I happened to be in the area so I decided to give this place a try.

To start, the price of the honey was significantly higher than what I'm used to paying at other stores, the markup here was excessive.

But the real issue was with the quality of the honey itself. When I got home and tried it, I immediately noticed a very strange and unpleasant taste, and I suspect it's due to improper storage or handling. The flavor was just off, and it ruined the entire experience.

When I tried to return the honey, the staff at the store were completely unhelpful. They seemed disinterested in my complaint and unwilling to make it right. I left my phone number with them to let the owner call me, but he didn't even bother himself to call and check.

Overall, I would not recommend purchasing honey or any other products from this store. The prices are high, the quality is poor, and the customer service is lacking. There are many better options out there for getting high-quality products at a fair price. I won't be coming back here again, and I will share my experience with...
