Turkish & Mediterranean groceries, a full halal meat counter, fresh baklava and Turkish coffee — the whole bazaar under one warm roof at 751 Laurel St in downtown San Carlos.
Grand Bazaar Foods is a family-owned Turkish & Mediterranean market in the heart of downtown San Carlos. Shelves of imported groceries, a full halal meat counter, front cases of baklava and Turkish delight, and fresh Turkish coffee poured to go — it's the corner of the neighborhood where the spice road ends.
"Lovely Turkish market in the downtown stretch — 5 stars for the impressive baklava and Turkish delight selection."— Yelp review
"Many gorgeous Turkish delights, pastries, baklava in the front case — and they serve fresh Turkish coffee."— Hungry Onion food forum
Everything you'd hunt across three stores, waiting in one friendly aisle-walk on Laurel Street.
Imported staples and hard-to-find treats from Turkish, Mediterranean and European suppliers.
A true halal counter in downtown San Carlos — fresh, trusted and ready for your table.
Sweet trays and warm cups — the reason "just one quick stop" turns into a treat.
Some of what makes Grand Bazaar feel like the old bazaar: heaped bowls of spice, sweet cases up front, and shelves of imported finds you won't get at the big chain down the block. Come with a list — leave with something you didn't know you were looking for.
An old Turkish blessing said over food. It's the feeling we're after: you leave with a full bag and a warmer afternoon than you came in with.
The kind of place where the person behind the counter knows the shelf by heart — and knows you by name soon enough.
Turkish, Mediterranean and European imports — baklava, Turkish delight, teas and pantry goods the big chains just don't carry.
Freshly ground halal chicken and beef, and readymade kebabs — a real halal meat department right on Laurel Street.
Turkish coffee poured fresh, sweets in the front case, and an owner reviewers call "super helpful and welcoming."
Stop in with parking behind the store, or get it brought to your door via DoorDash, Uber Eats and Postmates.
