Great store! You can find almost everything related to the Middle East here. There’s a wide selection of halal products, which makes it very convenient for Muslims. We often come here with the whole family — we really like it. The only issue is that some products are close to their expiration date — sometimes just one or two months left. Of course, not all items are like that, but it would be great if the store paid more attention to this. Overall, it’s a great store and we enjoy shopping here!

Shaheen International Grocery Store, based in Edmonton, is a respectful and honest family-run business. They are committed to providing high-quality, clean imported products at the best possible and reasonable prices.

Great selection of Iranian brands, their stock of products are not consistent. Some shipments get delayed, so keep that in mind when stocking up.
The personnel are pretty polite, but when I asked them to check their inventory for 3 or 4 different products, they didn’t take the time.
Nonetheless, I guess it’s a pretty decent choice in Edmonton. I have been to Iranian grocery stores in different cities which are incomparable to this one, first of all I don’t think this store identifies as an Iranian supermarket, I may be wrong, Second the Iranian diaspora population in the other cities are much larger and create a bigger demand.
I think it’s worth stopping by once and judging on your own. I am quite neutral to them.
I think the barbari bread they have is very tasty.

Shaheen Grocery & Bakery has been a staple in Edmonton for years, proudly serving the Iranian, Afghani, and wider ethnic communities. It’s the kind of place where you can find specialty products that are nearly impossible to get elsewhere. Whether it’s for your everyday cooking or something special, they have it all—from fresh herbs and spices to an incredible variety of nuts. I used to buy walnuts from Costco, but after trying the ones from Shaheen, I’ll never go back—the difference in quality is night and day. Their fresh-baked bread is also unmatched. The owners are genuinely supportive of the community, and we’re grateful for their ongoing presence. It’s a family-run business worth supporting.
