Wow. A real gem – especially if you are a foodie or cook international dishes. This market is small, but packed with a lot of great finds and fantastic prices!

• Really fresh dried spices for half the price you pay at the commissary
• Tahini, paprika paste, sambal ooleck, and many other specialty foods for Turkish, Indian, and other middle eastern/Asian dishes.
• Nice selection of grains and rices, bulgar in various sizes, red, yellow, and green lentils
• Marinated peppers and other great veggies in jars – delicious sun dried tomatoes!
• Turkish coffee and tea, Turkish tea pots and tea glasses.
• Fresh produce hand picked by the shop owner each morning – I picked some lettuce and the lady at the cash register went and exchanged it for a fresher one.

They speak German well and of course, Turkish. English is slim, but many of the food labels have a “GB” English translation.

International Food Warehouse

The commissary no longer carries phyllo dough and I have been unable to find it at the Natex and other local grocers, so, I asked a Greek friend and here’s where she gets her phyllo dough. I also found rice paper there and some nice party supplies.

You will find a warehouse with produce, fish, wines, alcohol, and a large selection of various international foods. Some things are sold in bulk, but the prices seemed reasonable. Look for it on the left as you head towards Wassenberg on Wassenberger Strasse.
