Merkato Market

You can find fresh Injera, Hambasha, Ethiopian herbs and spices, clay pots, etc. This store is amazing, and the owners really know how to make you feel at home the moment you walk in. They are the nicest and most helpful couple I know. The customer service here is out of this world! If you haven’t shopped here before, you’re really missing out! Simply the best! 5 stars is not enough!

We are very excited that we found this place! The owner is very nice and helpful. He showed us how to use Franke Incense. Definitely will come back again!

I love it! They had a great selection of Ethiopian foods like fresh coffee, injera, sambusas, and spices etc. The customer service was stellar. The owner was kind and helped me create the perfect Mother’s dinner! Will be back again!

It had everything we were looking for and even some delicious samosas on a hot rack we grabbed 4 on our way out! Come here if you want to get authentic and rich spices to cook with, that will blow the minds of your guests, and excellent service- the clerk was very knowledgeable.

So much variety. They’ve been here 23 years and are very kind. I was visiting atl from new york and was surprised to find a market. Bought a lot of stuff to take back to Brooklyn. Thank you!

Excellent place to get your Ethiopian supplies! It would be impossible for the female owner to be any nicer. Happy to go back and support this wonderful business!

I'm learning how to cook Ethiopian food but was missing ingredients. This is a wonderful store, they had everything I needed. I was afraid they wouldn't have the "hard to find" herbs I needed for spiced butter but they had everything and more. The gentlemen there was so helpful in getting me just the right spices I needed and even how to store and use the injera. I'll definitely be back.

The owner seems very kind and gentle. I stopped in to buy some injera and he advised me which pack to choose. When I got home and had some, it was so soft and fresh. He even gave me tips on how to store it since I mentioned it was more than I needed. It was perfect with my lentils. I will definitely be back. :

Was so taken by her help, I forgot to get her name. I had so many questions and felt like I had my own personal shopper. From spices to art, the place had what I needed, whether it's to make my own blend or prepared, they had it. Grateful.

By far one of the Best Ethiopian market in the city. They pretty much have everything you’ll need to cook or create a cultural experience in your home. The customer service was top notch. I was greeted warmly and my questions answered. I highly recommend this store and will be back again.
