This Turkish bazaar is a gem tucked in the Cannery Row of Monterey.
If you ever visit Monterey, you've got to visit this beautiful store. I've traveled all over California and haven't seen a store with so much variety of hand made Turkish items. This store carries authentic, 100% made in Turkey products. They've got rugs, jewelry, lamps, decorated boots, pillow covers, exquisite hand painted bowls, ceramic coasters decorated with Turkish motifs, wooden and ceramic jewelry boxes with patterns, traditional Turkish style decoration items, Islamic calligraphy plates and much more.
As soon as you enter the store you're transported to the enchanting land of Turkey famous for her rich culture and beautiful handicrafts. You'll experience all this and more. Make sure to talk to the Turkish sales associate or the owner of the store if he's present and they'll give you details on each and every item in the store. They're knowledgeable and experts in their field and will help you out all the way to the buying process.
I ended up buying jewelry boxes for my wife, hand paints colorful bowls, coasters and a few other items from the grand bazaar.
It was a pleasure visiting this beautiful store in Monterey and chatting with Eyubhan. Thank you brother for your help and kind words and I wish you nothing but the best. Hope to visit you guys again soon. Hope to visit Turkey one day as well.

I did think it was not common practice that the employee completing the check out process did not tell me how much the total cost of my items were and gave me change with no receipt. I was charged $54.63 for the purchase. I returned and spoke to both owners of the store who informed me that the bracelets were $19 each. They gave me my receipt when I asked for it (which did not list the item by price only the total cost) and counted out the total for me. They overcharged me by $5 for each of the bracelets. I informed them that I believed I had selected bracelets from the $14 dollar section NOT the $19 section. The woman looked at me in the eyes and said, “Aww”. From reading other reviews I understand that my experience is not unique. I felt taken advantaged of and could not return the items as all...

He gave us his employee discount and Even offer to hold her lamp until the day before we left to go home so we didn't have to risk breaking it leaving it in our truck. We will be back!...
