International Foods — Local services in Sterling Heights

They sell expired food!! I used to buy some biscuits with dates there which used to be very tasty. Some days ago I purchased a package and when I tried them, the taste was horrible. They definitely were expired because of horrible taste and also were hard, compared to how they originally are. Also the warping letter looked exactly like expired (you can notice the difference between the fresh one and the expired ones, because the wrapping letter as well looks different). The expiry date in there was not yet arrived, but I am very convinced that they have repacked them with a new expiry date, because also the price was doubled compared of the original price. Of course, they have to cover the expenses of scratching the expiry date and putting another one. The outside wrapping looked very new, compared to the wrapping of individual cookies. So this is another tip that tells that they have repacked them. I returned it to the shop (obviously because I can't consumed spoiled and expired food, but the lady said that we don't return the food. I'm sorry, what? I am not returning it because I changed my mind, but because it is expired... she just kept showing me the expiry date and I told her, that doesn't mean anything. At the end I gave her that package of cookies, and she didn't bother herself to refund me, because she said we don't return/refund and also you have opened it!!! Sorry, I couldn't predict you have changed the expiry date and selling them. So of course I opened it because I purchased them to consume them, but when I noticed what was in there, I had to return it. So beware of this place because they sell expired food and they will not...

This is a great little shop. The staff was friendly, and helpful. The store is kept clean. I’ve been to a few smaller markets around here with freezers that were an absolute disaster. Not this place! Everything was extremely clean and tidy.

They carry mostly middle eastern/Mediterranean merchandise and food, but they also have a nice selection of Eastern European foods, and I believe the chocolate in the front of the store is British. They have a large selection of cheeses in the refrigerated section, as well as at the deli. They also have a small butcher/meat section. The prices were pretty good for a small store, especially one that carries so many things you won’t be able to...

I love this store! We have been shopping here for more than 20 years. Always helpful, always kind, if you are looking for something they will try and get it for you. Even during Covid they pivoted with an online service that you could order and pay and then drive by to pick up. From small store to expanded service and offerings they have not lost the personal touch. I called last week to make sure they had the Wedding Almonds in stock and when I went in on a busy Saturday they remembered me and wanted to talk about family and traditions. Shayma(sp) was so happy to connect after the phone call. There may be other larger stores in Dearborn, but for us in NE Oakland County...
