This is my go-to for anything from the butcher shop. Cost a little more? Yes, but only a little and it is reliably high quality. The produce is perfect. Not a blem in sight. The deli is in a category of its own. They make the pita bread in house in a brick oven right in front of you. The service is good and the employees are knowledgeable.

Great selection of various international foods in a well organized store. I only encountered the check out person and she was great. I did find pricing on canned and refrigerated items to be high, even higher than ordering thru Amazon.

They have a great selection of hard to find items imported from around the world . The people are always friendly and have a great deli selection, they even make fresh made Pita to order . The only downside is, you need to look at the expiration dates . Sometimes I find things that are way out of date like Coffee and Tea .

Such a fun store to walk through. The fruits and veggies looked great and the prepared foods look delicious. It was fun to see some meats that aren't in the traditional grocery stores. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Back in the day when I had a car I would travel out to the mother ship on Barbur Boulevard. I would spend an hour or so wandering the aisles looking at all the international items and loading up my cart. One of my go-to items was the ginormous containers, almost a gallon size, of pitted Kalamata olives for only about $17.99. Now I don't have a car anymore but luckily for me, Barbur World Foods is just down the street from me in the Pearl. They don't stock the huge sized Kalamata olives but they will transfer a jug in for me which is awesome. My other two go-to items are the Arz labne and lavashe. I have to call ahead for the labne because they sell out of it. I still love wandering the aisles. I can walk there but need to take a Lyft back home with all my stuff. Barbur World Foods is a gem in the Pearl. 2024 - Review #17

This place is fantastic! The deli is simply the best. Fresh pita to go with all the middle eastern sides. And yesterday they had a smash burger special that was so delicious. Great selection of beer and wine & the fresh squeezed orange juice is a must.

Absolutely love this place, the people who work here are always friendly and helpful. Their selection of foods and spices is great and the quality of the items is excellent and prices are reasonable . I especially love the deli counter, their chicken schwarma bowl is and the pickled veggies are a lovely bonus (I always ask for extra).

Wow! Incredible market featuring a stunning variety of both locally made and European/Eastern European/Middle Eastern imported foods & beverages. They have a decent variety of fresh produce, along with a small butcher & fresh seafood counter as well. And wow, I had no idea there were so many kinds of dates, so if you need some dried dates, this is the place to go! Their deli & bakery counter had us drooling, too. They also have a small hot-bar of ready-to-eat food and prepacked fresh meals you just need to heat up at home at incredibly reasonable prices (especially compared to the prices at New Seasons). They have also aisles upon aisles of canned & bottled foods, spices, etc. along with a refrigerated and frozen section. Plus, in the back they have a nice variety of wines, sake and a huge selection of beers, along with a large cold room of chilled beers (and it's VERY cold in there!). We couldn't believe the huge variety of beers in the cold room! The prices were quite reasonable and in many cases the same or even lower than our local Fred Meyer (and definitely lower than what we pay for ready to heat premade meals/food at the deli at New Seasons). We even found some of our favorite locally made food brands that our local Fred Meyer stopped carrying. Love this place!
