Maiwand Market — Local services in Fremont

I recently visited MAIWAND Market on Fremont Blvd. in Fremont, CA. This grocery store specializes in authentic Afghan and Middle Eastern food, offering a wide range of products that cater to the Afghan community. They have a butcher shop with fresh, hand-cut and hand-slaughtered halal meat, a bakery with some of the best bread in the Bay Area, and a variety of sweets, spices, and home essentials.

While they offer a diverse selection of goods, their prices are slightly higher compared to other grocery stores. Street parking is limited and there is a large lot behind the store. Customer service is average—not great, but not terrible either.

Very poor customer service, the owner in-front on the register doesn’t know how to speak with clients and so expensive every thing compared to other afghani shops. Secondly the owner on the front register is thief by counting extra money on random groceries. While checking on price he made excuses and also yelling on me that each day prices getting high on each items. Than he gave me the items with the exact price when I showed him the proof for last purchased which I got one day before from his coworker. I hope next time every single person has to check with them for prices...
