This Fruit Store corresponds to the category of Asian grocery store.
A variety of food products for very affordable prices. Mostly middle Eastern or Mediterranean with a Persian emphasis.
Typical Iranian store nice to have Iranuan products on the downside aisles are narrow and registers are not organized store is not very clean either. I heard their price is good
Some price is cheaper than other stores. But they doesn't care expire date . After a day or two days, most of foods will spoil.
You can find very good price in this store
Small market that sells many things; have a look if you want to support the locals! Staff here have always been nice and helpful.
Great products, but not friendly cashier!
Great produce and good selection
Bought 9 jars of jam, 5 were expired 2 months ago! Didn’t check when purchased because didn’t think a store would put expired stuff on its shelves…. for 2 months! We don’t live in the city otherwise would have drove back and asked for a refund.
Great place for shopping.
(Translated) Good prices, great variety, mostly fresh fruits and vegetables (Original) Buenos precios, gran variedad, frutas y verduras mayormente frescas
Busy as usual, like Persian bazzar ;)
Good prices and an awesome selection of goods!
I really like their fresh meat collection
Store was great. Unfortunately other customers still cannot understand how far 6 foot or 2 meter is. Apparently to some just passing by and hitting your shoulder is the same thing. Also it would be nice if someone taught the casher the difference between a mask (that covers nose and mouth) and a chin strap.
On 16 July 2021 I bought Lamb Neck from Persa Foods and put it in the refrigerator and today(18 July) I opened it to prepare some food but unfortunately it smells dusgusting, it is gone off!!!!! It is clear that the meat is packed few weeks ago despite of the product label!!!!
Small store with a variety of produce and organic products.
This shop is well organized and they have super friendly staff!
Great quality, selection, and prices
I was looking for sour cherry juice in vancouver. I found it here only
Very good store, with lots of local fruits and veggies. Very lovely people work there. Defenetly recommend this place
If you like halva, Turkish delight... its place for you. Good prices for vegetables
It's really shoppers for iranian
Good selection, but very poor service. The price tags are always missing at least from the half of the fresh produce.
Lots of options veggies and fruits.
Perfect
(Translated) Quality fruits, vegetables and various products. (Original) Frutas, verduras y productos varios de calidad.
Everything is found in there
You can find every Persian grocery item in this shop. It's crowded from time to time l, but prices will make up for that.
"Eat well and save money." Yes please! This place is legit and worth stopping by when you have the chance. Much better fruits & vegetables & nuts than you can get in a big store such as Superstore/Safeway. I even think it's better than Save on Foods, for sure it is cheaper. I wouldn't shop anywhere else if there was a Persia Foods store closer to where I live.
Good prices, but don't expect the best quality.
Fair prices. Always line up for cashiers.
Open until 9:00pm is of great convenience. I regret getting zucchini @ 2.99/lb at the Superstore 2 blocks down Lonsdale when I could of had it for $0.99/lb at Persia.
Quality produce and offer local fruit and vegetables seasonally at great prices. Friendly service.

Great produce, friendly staff, ethnic mix of products
Found everything I need. We are from Azerbaijan, so our food is almost the same as persian. I love this store.
Prices are cheap and quality is good
Friendly staff
The worst customer service, they even don’t know how to behave with customers. ???? not recommended
Healthy foods
Good product and interesting ethnic choices
Awesome prices!!
Usually just pick up fruit here as it's well priced, fresh and sweet. Always has a lovely smell of all the fresh fruits when walking past!
Reasonably priced produce but not always the freshest!!
Great inexpensive produce :)
Amazing prices and friendly staff. There's parking on Lonsdale, out back, and on side streets.
Great selection
Poor service, the staff are not helpful at all. Dirty, so many flies inside, especially near the produce section. The janitor was not wearing a mask, and other employees took it off when not around other people inside the store. Better off going to the other Persia foods on 15th Street, at least the staff there are more helpful and wear mask inside.
went in for some limes quickly 5 for $1. what a bargain!
(Translated) Economic (Original) Económico
great fruit and vegetables according to the season for very good prices.
Small store but good variety of Iranian and Mediterranean groceries, very good prices.
Good selection, decent prices
Good food and excellent service
Not very clean, poor management.
Good choices, friendly service.
Most of the items In the produce section are cheaper than you would find elsewhere, the rest is probably the other way around. But they do have some Persian imported stuff you wouldn't find here in regular stores.
No good Pruduce not fresh Items have no price tag Service no good
It can providw you with lots of persian foodstuffs
A good place to find Persian food and vegetable!
Fresh and good price.
Hard to beat.. Great fresh produce and fruit and nuts for the budget minded shopper... See you in the lines... ????
Great place to find persian ingredients and goodies
Love the people and worldly treasures.
One of the best Persian supermarket in Vancouver
Good quality produce and decent price.
Incredible fresh produce. All kinds of fruits and vegetables you don't see in supermarkets. A wide selection of bulk nuts and dried fruits. And of course, all the awesome Persian products you'd expect from a store like this.
Warning all ( stay away from this store): fake price more charge on your bill and bad service. I wanted to buy Jasmin dates and it was 5.49$ on shelves but when I want to pay it at cashier , she told me 7.99$ even I showed her the real price as picture.
Persia Foods used to be New Apple Farm previously. The quality of products and prices are reasonable but the checkout is slow and staff indifferent. Same as the Vanak store on 19th.
Pricing is fair
This Persia has more space and I like to shop here compared to th 15th one.
Decent selection. We found what we were looking for.
Fair price Good quality Best for groceries and Persian cousin supply
Great meat selection and decent prices overall
Persia store has a big variety of Persian products in a reasonable price. The fruit can be bought in competitive price too.
No clean! Very basic! Good price though
Fresh produce and bread. The store can be better organized
Really unique selection of middle-eastern foods.
(Translated) Really the best and fairest Iranian market in Vancouver (Original) واقعا بهترین و با انصافترین مارکت ایرانی در ونکوور
Excellent Persian selection.
Great spot. some items cheaper that regular grocers. wonderful Persian and Persian-crossover selections. helping staff. pistachios, fresh meats, semi-prepared meats and foul, spices, vegetables, halvah, snacks, juices. Incredible place.
Iranian grocery store
The line ups here are excruciating. I just can’t do it anymore.
Relatively good prices on some but not all groceries. Lots of Persian foods to choose from, although some of them are more expensive than other stores.
Such a great and healthy place for grocery! Fresh and organics products at a very good and reasonable price!
If you are looking for Persian grocery, definitely Persia would be the best option specially in North Van. Also price of vegetables and fruit are fair and cheaper than other places
Needs more cashier
Cheaper than any other markets but so dirty and unorganized.
Very good variety of fruits and veggies
A perfect Iranian shop
Find everything Persian. Great value
Good place to buy vegetables n fruits plus Persian grocery
It's not clean
They have everything you might never think they do! Great store
Impolite staff
known for being cheap
Perfect market with nice people
Generally good supplies, service is fine.
Thats Great Supermarket For Iraninan Peoples in Vancouver
Helya, the cashier was so warm and helpful in sharing recipes and recommendations nearby. Wide range of products and produce, and fresh nuts that were welcomed to taste test for freshness. Many other staff are pretty straight-faced and matter-of-factly, and not warm: they want you in & swiftly out.
Excellent fresh produce.
Good prices
Prices are very high .
Good place for veg and fruits shopping but not the best quality, poor management, not clean
Huge variety of middle-eastern groceries. Throwback to another time and place entirely!
Reasonable price for descent quality
You may find Persian and some Asian food ingredients and fruits. Price wise, it is competitive. Their qualities are okay, some times are good, some times okay. Staff are kind and they are friendly and polite. I think Persia worth 4 stars ad can get 5, too.
My first time there and the service is so bad that I won’t go back. They had one cash register open and could not get it to work, and they also would not give us who were waiting for ten minutes priority over customers who just came in, so not wanting to invest another 20 minutes, I left. Some friendliness or communication would have helped. The cashier was calm but wouldn’t say or do anything to help the people waiting in line.
Great place for groceries in Lonsdale. Good prices and nice variety. Meats, salads and baked goods.
Great price, good produce, okay selection.
Reasonable priced grocreries.
change ownership this will be the new PERSIAN FOOD. their new/extend branch from 15 st. its good more stuff and low $
You can find anything you want. I recommend here to my middle eastern friends.
Great prices for good quality grocery
The produce is not as fresh since Persia foods bought the place...
Be cautious about the ground meat here. They sometimes look different inside than on the surface!
I love shopping there. They have everything I need there and I encourage my neighborhood. Their prices are great. Check them out
Great prices
Great produce choices, interesting ethnic choices.
The store is so outdated and old school , I feel I’m stepping into a abandoned grocery store , so disappointing ????????????????
Good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables and also a good selection of Middle Eastern groceries.
Nice price for groceries
Here you will find avery good variety of vegetables, spices, meat, and other grocery items and very reasonable price.
Excellent variety of groceries, reasonable price and good customer service. Thanks.
Good looking produce/and price better than big chain stores
Was able to get quality dates and fresh fruits at this place
I made my purchases most of the time from this store. But I will not buy from this store anymore. I went to this store on Wednesday, January 6, and when I asked the cashier to return one of my items because the price was different from the price calculated in the system, she laughed at me and said that the price difference was only $1. She was so rude and and you laughed at me again. I asked her name, her name is Mana to complain to the store manager. But the store manager was not in the store at that moment.
Variety of fruit and vegetables and meat products and ethnic products at a reasonable price
This placed used to be wonderful and filled with a great vegetable section with tons of organics and great prices but that time is now gone. Hate to say it but the new owners bought out this once great market and turned it into something very bland. Sad to see. Can't say I have any reason to go back anymore.
(Translated) There are many kinds of vegetables and fruits in the store, so it's fun to see. For example, there are 4 kinds of apples and various kinds of grapes. The store is truly Middle Eastern, with lots of nuts and dried fruits. Vegetables are lined up in the back of the store, and some of them are damaged and some are fresh, so it is recommended that you choose and buy carefully. There are a lot of spices, and there are various meats in the booth on the left side when you enter the store. There are many things that you can hardly see in Japanese supermarkets such as motu and bones. I like all kinds of bread, such as chapati, and nan, which I can buy here. I am glad that freshly baked items are packed in bags or some are still warm. The clerk is also kind. :) (Original) 店頭に盛られている野菜や果物達の種類が多く、見ていても楽しい。例えばりんごだけでも4種、葡萄も色々。 店内はさすが中東系、ナッツやドライフルーツが沢山。店の奥にも野菜が所狭しと並べられており、中には傷んでるもの、新鮮なものも混在しているので良く選んで購入することをオススメします。スパイスも沢山あり、店内入って左側のブースには色んな部位の肉が売られている。モツ系や骨など、日本のスーパーではあまり見かけないような物も多い。私はここで買える色々なパン、チャパティのようなものからナンのようなものが好きで、立ち寄るとつい買ってしまいます。焼き立てを袋詰めしているのか、まだあたたかいものもあったりするのが嬉しい。店員さんも親切です。:)
You can purchase almost any groceries you need
The ladies are very helpful
Useless customer service and nothing got price
The vegetable, herbs, meat and fresh produce are great but the grocery and nuts are not good. The cash register needs improvement to handle the number of people shopping there, as of result there is most of the time a lineup. The store is not much organized and the shopping basket is all over on the ground.
Never go back again, I want to make return for something I bought. The cashier told ME to call her manager form the back of the storage area, I went to look for him. I can't find him anywhere, not even sorry or anything, i couldn't do the return, never go back again.
the fruits outside are good quality but a man was picking through the dried bins with his bare hands sampling the goods and the workers didn't say anything to him when they saw him.
Great shop for Persian , Asian , and middle Eastern foods and specialty items
Worth costumes servis ever. The cashier did not greet me. She chatted in a language I did not know with other cashier, who had the other costumer at the same time, about their own. By the time I had to pay cashier just pointed on the terminal, and then pushed my shopping bag towards me. Terrible experience.
Cheap but EXPIRED!!!!!
The cashier was extremely rude. She was on her phone and didn’t pay attention to our purchases. She even put items that we did not purchase in our bags without ringing them through. She also skipped 2 items that we picked. My family was there on February 1st, 2021 at 4:56 pm
Awesome price and good quality food. I wish it was a bit cleaner and organized but absolutely necessary and useful.
This store used to sell only produce but now they've crammed the space full of other goods. Yes, they carry some unique products but the store is very cramped and their customer service is lacking. The other day there must have been 18 or 20 people in line for one cashier. Goods are reasonably priced however some of the produce is at or past its best ( there were rotten peaches adjacent to the limes I was there to purchase).
Great prices but quality of some produce is not good. Tomatoes were all rotten last weekend.
The vegetable are average quality.
Taken over from the previous owners but retains the excellent prices (Certainly the best veggie prices on Lonsdale) and solid selection. They made some changes, some good, some bad. Better - better cabbage and much better cauliflower, which for some reason the previous owners' supplier had a problem with. Worse - they dropped the self-moistening displays for the veggies so things can sometimes wilt a little. Not a major issue generally, but it does occur sometimes, so pay attention when buying carrots and broccolli. Minor gripe- the new general display shelves are a lot more utilitarian and unattractive so it drops the ambience a little. Then again, I'm not there to buy the shelves, and I already know the very good prices so it doesnt stop me going, but it might affect new customers somewhat. Right across from the London Drugs, so as long as you hit up London Drugs for something as well then parking is easy.
(Translated) Excellent shop. You can buy a lot of fresh produce. Especially a lot of fruits, vegetables and other greens. (Original) Отличный магазин. Можно купить много свежих продуктов. Особенно много фруктов, овощей и прочей зелени.
Excellent produce at good price
Best quality produce of the "cheap" places
I found it very dirty and the staff to be rather rude.
Persian
Super competitive prices for fresh produce, nuts and packaged products. There is an expansive offering, including ethnic foods (ie Indian, Persian, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc.). I especially love their roasted pistachios, sour red cherry "Myriam" brand and the wide array of dried fruit!
The best grocery store in north vancouver. Fresh and quality products
Grocery store... Nothing very special about it except price
Try calling this store and you will NEVER get a holed of someone..they NEVER pick up..wish they'd think about seniors or those who might need to ask a question over the phone before dropping by the store to realize they dont have a product..and this was an unneccesary trip if someone would bother picking up the phone
(Translated) Convenient transportation, the price is also close to the people (Original) 交通方便,價格也親民
Great value
Great selection of European canned goods, tomatoes, olives, pasta, rice and good range of spices at reasonable prices. Wide selection of veggies and fruits.
lots of fresh fruits and veggies
It's a great fresh food shop. Lots of produce available at the best price around.
Lower grade produce, I like to buy dry fruits and nuts they have a good selection. I gave them 3 stars because of produce.
Decent prices
Low prices of fruit and vegetables
Good prices n a lot of items
Fresh produce on lonsdale. Only issue is almost always busy
Cheap prices, wide range of foods, always crowded, long but fast processed lines, parking may be problamtic in that busy area.
Better price than super store, always fresh !
Some staff are nice and some are very rude. Ok selection of produce. Not the cleanest
Love this place, Everytime I visit my friend we stop in for great fresh and inexpensive produce for our epic meal times!
You'll like their selection and their prices even more.
not as good as the other Persia
Worst customer service I have ever experienced during my visit in Vancouver. We were there 10 minutes before closing and the cashier was super rude. We were in the line up to pay and we were the last customer. She started yelling at us and was talking to my husband like she is talking to a deaf person. The previous customer was still paying and she started yelling hurry up Harry up to us. I felt so bad and wanted to speak with the manager but was scared that the chubby cashier eat me up if I stay there for another second. Please start training your staff.
Very nice
low prices and the staff are just ok.
Best persian grocery store in vancouver
Best in the hood
Inside the shop is a little bit narrow for disable people with walker
If you live dried fruits..A must to visit... Golden raisins, size of an Almond Sun dry apricot..so yummy
Very disorganized.
Good prices and Persian food
The reason you are going here is for price. It’s a small grocery store with several locations throughout the lower mainland. The stores are small, disorganized and somewhat unclean. It’s not Whole Foods or save on foods. Typically it’s busy and you will be waiting in line as they only have two cashiers and really no other staff to help you.
Good for cheap produce, kinda hard to navigate when busy, also the cashier's don't like it when your paying with cash, kinda give you grief..prefer debit or credit, kinda silly to use either for small purchases
Low prices, Middle East items
Good price
Clean place...great for affordable vegetable shopping.
Fresh and good price.
Best grocery
Usually the produce are a good deals but not always too fresh. ????
Best persian food in town
