Foodland Farm International Halal Market — Local services in Providence

Exceptional store stocked with all the everyday regular convenience store products PLUS quite an extensive inventory of middle eastern, South East Asian, Moroccan, other grocery/products and a full-blown Halal butcher shop! The Halal meat is consistently fresh and they offer a variety of cuts/meats to choose from.

Management and staff (with the exception of one particular employee Irma in the butchers corner) are incredibly nice and always helpful. They go above and beyond to help with whatever you’re looking for or need. Always respectful and kind!

Side Note There is a lady by the name of Irma that works the butchers corner. Unfortunately, this woman is off the charts rude and her behavior is truly bizarre. She looks at customers like they’ve wronged her in some way and simply acknowledging the presence of a customer is as if she is doing them a favor. Her behavior is just downright ignorant and classless but luckily, the owners/staff are always attentively watching and are more than happy to intervene/help at a moments notice. If you have trouble conveying what you need or are kinda all set with dealing with this unique specimen, just let them know what you need and how you want it, they will happily help you. Definitely don’t let this woman’s behavior deter you from here as this place...

Had the absolute worst experience at this store, not once but twice. On first occasion we had asked for baby chicken and they informed us that they had it in store. Happy to know that baby chicken was available, my husband ordered more than the usual quantity only to find that these were actually huge chickens. We gave them the benefit of doubt, thinking it must have been a communication gap and tried this store for the second time. This time we asked if they had chickens that were small. They told us all of their chickens were 3 pounds or less. We ordered about 20 leg quarters. Again to our disappointment, we brought them home to find that the pieces were so big that it became a hassle for us to cook.

Never going to this store again. Not sure if they didn’t actually have 3 pound chicken or they intentionally gave us bigger pieces...

A hidden gem. I"ll literally walk a mile there for certain ingredients. Every foodie needs to check this place out. They beat Whole Foods on a lot of their spices and meat, which is all halal. The quatlity is better for a fraction of the price. As a large bonus, the staff are always kind and friendly.

Great for high quality spices and meats at an...
