I am old enough to remember when AJ's Fine Foods was THE place to go for gourmet food shopping in Phoenix. Since then, the overall food scene has improved with more options available from other stores and even upscale options at the local Fry's.
The location at Camelback and Central has been around a long time and remains a busy place for gourmet grocery shopping. It is a full supermarket with an extensive selection of gourmet and specialty foods. Their fresh and prepared food section is top notch, although organic options are rather limited.
Unfortunately, AJ's is showing it's age with cramped aisles and limited selection. Prices are consistently high with other stores offering similar products at lower prices. Nevertheless, this is the place to go for gourmet and speciality foods for that special meal.
