Reviews of SAFA Middle Eastern (Butcher Shop)

Great selection, friendly staff, and really great prices! Really enjoyed the tandoori wings

Don't let the small exterior fool you, this small store is packed with a wide variety of Middle Eastern foods, spices, and sweets. Friendly helpful staff and great prices. An important part of my weekly shopping includes fresh sweets including baklava.

I visited this grocer for the first time this year and was very pleasantly surprised at the world of flavours inside! Friendly, helpful service. A great opportunity to experience the richness of the Mediterranean these days.

A good selection on hard-to-find Middle Eastern ingredients and baked goods in a very tidy, well-organized store. Friendly staff. And the best baklava EVER!

Peter Bishop

So glad to have this place in the neighborhood! Such great middle Eastern food, and fresh veg, meat and other staples. Convenient, friendly, reasonably priced.

Hi , I got some meat ???? and sweets(Afghani kolcha ) they were very old and dry. It looked good behind the display glass. But when I got home to try it, very old and out dated.

A hidden gem in downtown GUELPH! This family owned store offers fresh fruits and rice and the best dates !

Don't miss this store!!! There are so many traditional Middle eastern dried or canned food, classic dairy (cheese, butter, cream ...), some kinds of bread cooked by old-fashioned recipes you may have never tried before, cookies and candies made by ancient formula, dried nuts and fruits as well as many other things you need to cook. The most important point for this grocery store is the polite seller with friendly attitude!! So, "Don't miss this store".

So unique they have Turkish items as well. We bought a tea set and teapot.

The first time I went to Safa Traders Ltd I tried their dateserts, its nut filled dates. It is AMAZING! Me and my husband have become addicted to it and make sure we have a box each week. It is super healthy and a great snack. Since then we have been buying all of our dry fruits and rice from here. Customer service is great. Waheed and the owner Rafi are very kind, welcoming men, really helpful in giving us information on the health benefits of each product that they have. Highly recommend this place. I also love how close to home it is now I don't need to go to Toronto everytime I need something.

I stopped by this shop on a Sunday morning walk with my partner and could not have been more impressed. Aside from the products, I was really impressed by the owner's passion for his store. The service we received was much appreciated and we will definitely stop by again in the future for some delicious goodies!

I am a newer customer to Safa and I enjoy the samosa and labneh (yogurt cheese balls) . Most recently I asked a few questions and the shop keeper offered me a delicious saffron and green tea. So, I purchased some of each. Expect Friendly service and a great place to stock your pantry with new flavours .

Faisal Shekib

This place is pretty cool! I went by and noticed their signs, so I walked in and was greeted by an amazing aroma of teas and dried fruits!! They had some samples of nuts and fruits which tasted really good. What I was more impressed by was the assortment of dried middle Eastern goods that I didn't even know about. Everything in the store was very authentic! They have these super cute tea cups and tea sets that I had to get so I got one for myself and my mom for mother's day! I also bought some tea to try out with the tea set tonight. The owners are really nice people that helped me out as soon as I walked in. They showed me around and explained what the things I didn't know about were and how they tasted. I would 100% recommend checking it out before they sell out of everything.

You can find a variety of Middle Eastern to Asian foods and snacks here, and the owner just happens to be the nicest guy in the world ????

The best local afghan/middle eastern market! This store offers the best and freshest dried fruits and rice I have ever tasted! I'm glad guelph finally has a location where we won't have to commute far distances to grab and buy these goods!

At last, a well-stocked, clean and well-managed middle-eastern ingredients store in Guelph downtown!

I just discovered Safa and I'm so happy I did - I've been searching for pomegranate molasses everywhere in Guelph and finally found it here! The customer service was excellent and I'll definitely be coming back to try some of their desserts :)

Rachelle Wilson

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and I will certainly be back.

Mohammed Sarfraaz Syed

Best fresh Goat meat

Armin Rahbari

Went there a few days ago for some steaks and my wife went today to get some kebab skewers, chicken, eggs and produce. Very friendly person greeted both of us at the front and the butcher was very helpful and friendly as well. Amazing to have something like this in the neighborhood, lot of selection with very fair prices. We will be going a few times a week at least.
