Awesome!
Update: they have moved to a nicer shop and added a kitchen with lota of Persian dishes.
They have almost everything you might need from Iran. The guy by the counter was such a friendly guy, and the bastani was very good to our surprise!
Kudos to Gourmet for fulfilling our need for a nice Persian market!

The store has almost everything you might be lookin for. However stay away from their food. Overpriced mediocre food that has given me a badly upset stomach once and a severe food poisoning another time. I have bought food there twice. You do the math.

If I could give a 0 STAR REVIEW I WOULD. Called them beforehand and drove an hour to get a cheesesteak just for them to tell me the kitchen closed an hour before closing.I begged them but the lady at the counter was very rude and denied service.

I'm happy with the huge selection of goods, cleanliness, freshness of bread and dairy and the music. A lot of care and taste has gone into this grand opening! I'd appreciate a selection of pastry and cookies.

This store is simply amazing. I can’t wait to go back. The customer service is excellent and surprisingly enough, they make a mean steak and cheese.

A client in Rockville ordered the kebabs from Gourmet Bazaar for us and I was blown away. The boxes they came in were awesome for to-go, loads of rice, and the best meat. Honestly one of the best Persian meals I had ever. Absolutely loved it. You gotta eat this!! ❤️

The Persian food here is decent but not top notch compared to other alternatives in the neighborhood, and it is overpriced. Be ready to see some orders wrong, but the owner alwsys make up by good customer service.

The service at the food counter was outstanding, and I can't wait to try some other foods next time I go.

By far the best kabob kubideh I have had the DC area. Quality of the food is exceptional, presentation is exceptional and owner/employees are so kind. I can’t wait for more!

I discovered Gourmet Bazaar through Instagram and decided to give it a try after seeing a couple of positive reviews and really appealing photos. Visually, the food looked amazing, so I was excited to try it.
Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the expectations. We had a very long wait for our order, even though it should have taken no more than about 20 minutes. When the food finally arrived, we were surprised to find that most of it was extremely bland. I tried the cheesesteak, pizza, and the chicken and beef combo plate — all of the items were cooked properly and looked great, but they were missing basic seasoning like salt and pepper. There was just no real flavor.
It was disappointing because the presentation and preparation showed potential, but the lack of seasoning and price point made the food fall flat. Based on this experience, I most likely won’t be returning.

Fantastic selection of products—fresh produce, breads, pantry staples, and home goods, alongside an excellent gourmet deli of fresh cooked Iranian dishes, sweets, and treats. The pricing is clear and very reasonable compared to other Middle Eastern markets in the area. My new go-to!

Its a 5 stars Persian market in the area by far! Staff are so friendly, polite and kind. The prices are good. They bake fresh bread (taftoon) in house. Hopefully they start their Barbary as well! Love the new place. Their carry out food is also very delicious, fancy, clean and worth 5 stars!

Very clean and modern looking store. Very nice selection of bread, fresh produce, spices, etc. The prepared food looked very good although we did not try any. Reminds me of a smaller, Mediterranean Whole Foods.
We did get the saffron ice cream, which was very unique but ultimately not my cup of tea. I'm happy to have tried it though. I would say many items felt to me on the pricier side, but also many items are hard to find elsewhere so they could be worth paying a bit extra for.

This place is a gem. A really special European market, catering to mostly the balkans and middle east. The halva, jam, nuts, and cheese selection is almost overwhelming. The hot lunch counter is amazing (I had the tongue sandwich and loved it). If you cook the cuisine of anywhere between Greece and Afghanistan, come here every week.

I love this place. You can find all kinds of imported items. They have a deli and bakery. The deli has Gormeh Sabzi etc. You can tell the meat they use for their kebabs and the chicken is organic. I wish they had tables to eat the hot dishes from the deli. You’ve got to take your hot food home to eat it. In any event, I’ll continue to frequent the store. It’s very clean, and organized.

Great little store; the most organized store I have been in. I was very impressed. Things are easy to be found and they have a lot of variety from spices, food, cold items. The staff were helpful and inviting. Store can be easily found since it’s on the Main Street; parking is easy.
