Reviews
They have Caribbean thing that you love to eat and cook. And the price is very reasonable.
Best, and in some cases the only, Detroit area venue for African & Caribbean foods. They've got it! Fresh plantains, yams, cassava, bulla, hard-dough bread, Jamaican patties, huge bags of rice, cubes, soaps, soda-pop, malta, snacks, . . . Been shopping there forever. Love it!
This is a really cool African market to check out. They mostly sell your basic stuff: seafood, yam, soaps, juices, etc. If you're looking for more specific stuff, you won't find it. But they had a good selection is stuff. Staff was friendly and smiley! Parking is a little weird. The parking area is kinda small.
This is one of my go to places when I want food from HOME. yes they have all the Caribbean favorites, as well as African, and even some Asian foods that I enjoy. the selection is top rate. the prices may be a little high, but the service makes it all worth it. Fresh Frozen Fish, Frozen Vegetables from the tropics; and of course every type of rice your tastebuds could desire. if you are a connoisseur of the spicy - look no further than the second aisle where the scotchbonnets and dragon scorpion pepper sauces sit alongside Matouks sweet and firey chutney. When I found this shop, in my new neighborhood - I was more than elated. if you want the best in African Foods and Caribbean Foods please do yourself a favor and stop here. their selection and personal service will turn you into a regular after your first visit. Fridays they have Fresh Hot Jamaican Patties !!!! get them before they're gone
Everything you need to prepare an authentic African/ Caribbean meal AND great prices!
