Persia Foods

As someone dealing with kidney stones, I’ve been relying on watermelon as a natural remedy and hydration source. Unfortunately, finding good quality watermelon in Vancouver has become almost impossible. Over the past three days, I purchased watermelons from Persia Market, and each time, I was deeply disappointed.nnThe watermelons were either overripe, pale, tasteless, or completely spoiled inside — a total waste of money. What’s worse is that these stores continue to charge premium prices for low-grade, low-quality fruit. It feels like gambling every time you buy one, and recently I’ve lost every single time.nnPersia Market in particular has been awful. I trusted them thinking they’d have better quality due to their reputation in the Iranian community — but what I got was garbage, literally. I had to throw them away. That’s not just frustrating — it’s disrespectful to loyal customers.nnFor people with medical conditions like mine, this isn’t just about flavor — it’s about health. Do better. Respect your customers. Stop selling fruit that should be in the compost bin.

Persia Food is a gem! They have an incredible selection of Persian staples—from saffron and spices to fresh breads and sweets. The staff is super friendly and always happy to help me find what I need. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Persian ingredients!

Best prices for produce, dairy & eggs, spices, teas etc.. Just consume your produce quickly. They don't last in the fridge as long as large grocery stores.nThey are constantly restocking throughout the day so almost everything is in stock.nThey changeg their hours a couple years back so they are open till 9:00 p.m. now.

A great place for fresh groceries at good prices.nThey offer a wide selection of Iranian ingredients, along with all essential Middle Eastern products.nThe best spot for Iranians living in Vancouver!nWe usually shop at the Broadway branch, but they have other locations too.nTheir fruits taste amazing—just like real fruit should!

Really good place where you can find any ingredient amazing prices, in my case I'm mostly interested in fruits and veggies that are common in Latin America like tomatillos, poblano peper, chayote, and plantain. Also the service has improved in the last years, I would like to mention that Nazanin and Sam are really friendly and supportive.
