| - Arz is very conveniently located close to my home, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy coming here. Another reason why I enjoy shopping here is that I can always find "exotic" fruits here that I have not been able to find anywhere else in Canada.
Fruits like cactus pears (yummmmm...), nisperos ( if you've never had this fruit you must definitely try it at some point),chirimoyas (a delicious and decadent custard fruit). These fruits are things that bring me back to my childhood in Peru, and make me smile :)
Another reason I love this place: Their cookie and baklava section! Its HUGE. You can buy cookies by weight (1/4lb,1/2lb,1lb) and the same goes for the baklava. Their selection of cookies is very large and I often buy them when I'm going to friend's houses for coffee. The Baklava selection is also very extensive and they are fresh and delicious.
Baklava and Turkish coffee = a little peace of heaven :)
Being a Lebanese store, they also carry a very large selection of nuts such as pistachios (about 4 different kinds of pistachios), almonds, peanuts,cashews,pecans, you name it. They all come roasted,blanched,salted,unsalted, raw or covered in caramel...pretty much any way you want it. A large assortment of dried fruits such as apricots,figs,raisins,apples,mangoes and much more can also be found here, and they are all very good quality.Furthermore, they offer a really good selection of prepared foods such as stuffed grape leaves, stuffed hot peppers,marinated meats,baba ganoush, humus, pastries, bread and much more.
They also have a a good olive bar with olives from different countries, a semi decent deli section and on the aisles with the regular grocery store stuff, as well some Lebanese products that I have never seen before. Also, for some reason they have really good cantaloupes here, I absolutely loooooveee cantaloupe's and every single one I've gotten from here has been delicious and beyond juicy.
