Herat Bazaar in Scarborough

The food was not good rice with kabab and chicken very bad but sheryakh was good bolani very shor

There were so many insects around vegetables and fruits. And about the (Sheeryakh) when it was made by the old man so delicious and good but recently when we visited there was another guy and the taste was so bad and awful and expensive than anywhere.

This supermarket is crazy expensive.

Zero quality food

regular not bad i like this basaar

Extremely very bad customer service. Items are over priced and less quality. Its a matter of customer appreciation not always thinking about money. Money comes and goes but the people you value is your wealth once the value of people depreciated and quality of food goes down your going to lose your customers. Respect and personality is more important then just money if you are respectful eveeyone will value you no matter if you are rich or poor. The facts will come out eventually. Herat Bazar isnt the same as it used to was very sad.

When I went to herat Bazar I was treated with disrespect. I purchased meat and groceries. Some items in store were expired and the groceries were not fresh. I came a long way from ottawa just to shop there but the management treated me with no respect. I cant imagine coming here again. My personal opinion I dont know if anyone else have same experience. I wish I never came.

I went to buy sheeryakh but the guy was impolite and he told me I don t have. The problem I went at 9:00 pm and they close at 10:00vpm.

Last week, I bought dry bread from Herat Bazaar, which was inedible, so please pay attention to this part and work hard to improve it.

I feel sorry for a number of employees of Herat Bazaar, especially the exchange department of Omid. Unfortunately, racial and ethnic discrimination still exists in their veins. In addition to racial and ethnic discrimination, unfortunately, they have a lot of misplaced pride. In Afanestan, they did the same thing, which razed the homeland to the ground and destroyed thousands of families and young generations with their dreams, now they came and started here. Anyway, if you want your work to prosper, first of all, fix your bad manners and dont have undue pride. Secondly, put aside racial and ethnic discrimination, I dont think you will get anywhere with this. I feel so sorry for some employees of Herat Bazaar, especially the exchange department of Omid.

The store Manger is a rude lady once she said will exchange purchased item if were not working but after a week when we brought it the manger said no it s not in our policy they are just fake want to sell their item only. And the food is not good quality once i bought kabuli palw it was expensive had very less meat only one piece

Im Tamana from NS on our last day we found out about herat bazar, we booked a taxi and went there, well ofc not expecting much because afgs does have attitude and are not friendly 90% of the time. But I must admit Rahim was so kind, caring, and fun, and he made the best sher- yakh. Beside Rahim, there is a hidden jewelry store, azeem,I wont forget your kindness. You made us realize happiness and joy still exist. Thank you for your unforgettable experience .

I come from Ottawa to this store for over 20 years. I used to come before the name was Herat Bazaar. These people are always honest. They give you best quality bread for very good price. They are honest when they tell you we have fresh and 1 day old bread for discount. Its up to you to choose. When they run out of white bread, they are honest when they say we only have whole wheat. Its up you to buy or not. I dont know why people are saying negative things about this store. Come to Ottawa and see the options we have and when you go back to Toronto you will appreciate this store. Afarin to the workers who need to put up with these negative customers every day!

All the food items that I need can be obtained from this place. It is a very good shop

The best Afghan super store in GTA, the owner Fahim jan is very friendly and his staff are great

worst service from these 2 young girls that works here, it shows how they got Raised & specially on the month of ramadan. you should be ashamed of yourself..

Before buying anything from them please check the price with there neighbours i bought CRABOU energy drink from them they charged me $43 the same product in Kabul Bazar was $25 when i returned the drinks back to them they are behaved unprofessional and said to me that whatevers you can do so do we are not gonna refund your money the lady who are in cash register introduced her self store manager was very Un polite and the tall man with Iranian accent he is very unprofessional unreasonable un respectful so please before buying go to there neighbour check the price this market is scams people beside that if you people can not compete the market so shut down and get lost don t scam people specially people who came recently from Afghanistan

First of all I review all comments in your page the owner is very unprofessional I see that he or she starts the response of the comments with hahaha which not professional customer is always king customer is always bring you business don t be rude with customers learn to respect them I wish there was a zero rating I would give this super market there price is way expensive than Afghan süper market I stopped purchasing from them.

Dear friends, please be very aware when buying dry fruits. I bought them from him. I swear to Allah, he did not give me the price for what I bought because I was far away from my place. Unfortunately, they do this in the holy month of Ramadan. Alas.

The most unprofessional, rude workers and business. We live two hours from here and purchased a set of kitchenware. The workers checked and packaged it up for us. When we got back home, we realized two of the pieces they gave us were wrong and not matching with the ones we initially chose out in the store. We called back and said we would come back the same night (another two hour drive) so that it doesn t sell out as the workers advised they cannot hold the item, which is fine but they said if we came back the same night to switch it out it shouldn t be a problem. We came back after another two hour drive, just for them to only have one left in box and another worn out floor model available. They argued with us saying this was not their problem, it s our fault for not checking each box when we first came (when their workers packed all the boxes up for us upon purchase) and they can run their business however they want to. Absolutely appalled by this experience. I would give zero stars to this business if I could, I would never recommend this store to anyone. This owner continues to lie. Look at his response below and this is supposed to be a professional . Take a look at his other reviews and responses for yourself everyone, what a disgrace of a business.

Thieves who do not follow regulations or laws, owners know and support the continued fraudulent and illegal activity that goes on here. Should avoid at all costs.

Driving on the wrong side of the road puts commuters lives in danger and for what? Insane places like this operate with little concern for the safety of the public and their customers.

This company doesnt care if their drivers go the wrong way to beat traffic. Thats extremely dangerous and reckless to say the least. Called them to report it. They said it wasnt a concern.

The delivery driver drives on the wrong side of the road to cut traffic! Incredibly unsafe and irresponsible. It can give you a bad review because why would anyone want to support a business that obviously doesnt care about the safety of the community they deliver within? The management is so incredibly out of touch and immature.

They care so much about delivering food that they are willing to drive on the wrong side of the road and potentially end a familys life.

It was a very nice place, and the tea was very tasty. Thank you for all the stuff.

When i miss my country i come to visit the store , i feel like home , staff are very kind and nice. i like to be here to shop.

Last week I got 50$ worth bakery from this place not work at all I will Never ever go back there

Very bad and cold food. Never even go there to try it. Bolani was too cold and the owner was like I cooked fresh. They lie and swear to god.

Not a good place to shop.Afghan Bread is the worst in the GTA.This store has many Iranian products, which i personally do not like as an Afghan

this one is shinware, but this one is too bad. shinwari does nt buy food herat bazar rasturants. It has so bad food

I went there all the way from oshawa. They charge me for 2 Bolani but I couldnt see it in bag when we came home. Also the Torshe and Samosa we bought both were not fresh and we throw them away. Everything was very expensive. I wont recommend this place to anyone

Please Please! Remember if you buy a Jewelers from here they will not take it back, They dont have the return policy. Thank you.

Bought couple bags of rice ; weren t the type it was suggested/wanted. I Went back after a month and brought my concern to Mr. Fahim Rahmatyan. Mr. Rahmatyan was very professional, comprehensive and man with great gesture of goodwill. He replaced the item without any receipt. Hope your business prosperous. Mr. Fahim thank you for your empathy.

Awesome thanks

Its pleasure to me to share and express my deepest respect and appreciation to all hard working community members that their serving and making Our friendly Community Stronger and exciting, many thanks and appreciation

Wonderful city

Good store with unique grocery stuffs

I saw Shirich full of hair for the first time in my life. Herat Bazar thanks you for your hairy Shirich

Very dirty and unsanitary. From the door knob to floor to counters and food shelves. With all the money they make I wish they spent some on cleaning.

The cleanest store

We went to get bolani last week from this place the bolani was totally garbage and the bread that we purchased it is not cooked well inside. The place is dirty as well they should l take some time to clean that place not to make money.

Really worst service.Paid 15$ for half portion Called back to ask saying they are outside. Got really frustrated by this type of response The food was yesterday s can smell that

I was there bought some rice the guy who brought up the rice to my car was very rude and manners less he throw the bags in my car, a trunk like if he was giving me those for free or what he was very very rude

The bakery person lied about bread being fresh but it was a day or two day old bread and plastic bag which tasted very stale and on top of it the manager or the owner was very rude on the phone people like this have destroyed Afghanistan

Compared to other afghan restaurants the Kabab meal is ok, the chicken skewer wasn t made with breast, plus the ice cream (sheryakh) is way way way toooooo expensive $10 for a small pot,,, need to review the price

Please folk dont buy a bread from this store, beacuse they always lie about the bread. When you ask for fresh bread they will sell you 3 or 4days old bread I will never ever retrun this store anymore.

The restaurant in Herat bazar which located in 565 Markham road Scarborough is the worst restaurant ever we ordered some bolani they give us the bolani we didnt open the box and came home when we opened the box the bolani looked full of oil burned and old when we tasted it, it taste awful inside the bolani its potato s looked brown and very little beside that we didnt eat the whole bolani only a piece of it made us all sick and everyone in our family through up. we called the restaurant their manager said they didnt have fresh bolani and their staff give us the box of bolani from 3 days before and said that it was a mistake but didnt say that he is sorry about it very impolite and very rude . so please check your order carefully before taking it home especially the bolani. My self I will never buy anything from this restaurant.

The bread is no good when it s fresh it looks good but once it s cold not good will not buy any bread in future

I went to take naan, the lady there refused that she doesnt have any naan. I asked her whether she can make for us. She didnt even replied properly and just noded her head saying no i cant make.. Where she was making other naan.. Not a good customer experience.

To Store Manager: 1. please treat all your costumers equally 2. Please do not be very submissive to costumers who insults your workers for no reason. Please start to learn your rights. 3-you have the right to ask a customer to leave your store if he/she disturbs your other customers by screaming and yelling , you failed to excercise your right as a store manager this evening. Have a good night

Very rude Castumer service from the meat department ! Some of the stuff members don t even speak English at all! Went there as always and the person (not the first time seeing him) who was serving me at this time just turned around,left me talking to myself and continue cutting the meat as I wasn t even there! The meat department people in general are always friendly and very kind. I ve been shopping in this store for a while ,because it s close to my workplace and was happy to find some of the IRANIAN products that they carry! We will definitely drive longer distances to get the products we need from the IRANIAN STORES! Very low class people who need to be thought how to give a castimer proper service and attention!!!! Usually it s very rear that I write a negative review,but this is unacceptable,the way the person treated me ,as ppl know me at the store very well! All I asked to give me ground lamb and veal mixed which I always buy!!! REPLY: I never got into arguments with the person at the meat department! I just mentioned that I will complain to the manager as he always treated me very bad. No matter what I ask he said we don t have it,which is totally lie,as the rest of your stuff were always able to provide everything! And yes I did say if he is not happy with his job,he shouldn t work with Castumers directly. Regarding the other Castumer,he was the one who approached with arguments towards me,by telling me to shut up! I don t know the person and I wasn t talking to him at all,while he attacked me with his negativity! And yes I will repeat again,even tho we all might had problems with English as a newcomers,but that doesn t allow him to treat me the way he did ! I never had any problems in store as you know! He just left me there and continued on his task that s very disrespectful! You don t treat human like that . But I guess it s not about Afghan community!!!!

I would give 0 stars unfortunately I can t. Me as an Afghan that lived in Toronto my whole life and being a long time customer of this store. I got dried black mulberries and I was so disgusting.. it was stilt and so old.. I requested to bring this to the store owner and manager. The owner s response was if you think it s bad and not edible simply don t shop from here and go somewhere else.. the fact is the item may not worth much money. It isn t the matter of money.. it s the fact this is how much they value their customers that invested into their business thousands of dollars. This is very unfortunate.. for a manager and owner to behave like this. They definitely lost me as a customer. I will definitely take this to food health and safety board of Toronto for inspection. This might teach them something. And I as a social media influencer will take it to media and social platforms. This is a serious matter. This is health and safety issue which they care less about. I got severe stomach pain and will definitely take it up to a lawyer for perhaps a lawsuit.

i am buying there whole wheat bread for past 10 years and we love it. Thank you!

All their dry fruit is wasted dont waste ur money Manager is rude Strongly not recommend

All his dry fruit is wasted . Plz dont waste money Strongly not recommend. Plz dont waste money

NOT HAPPY WITH FOOD! Harare Bazaar Manager (Fatima). Please take some action towards your restaurant. Not going to shop here anymore.

I am very satisfied by the food and the food quality. Every time I go the ladies at the cash register and very friendly and so is the manager.

The prices in this store are much higher than other similar stores even with the stores close to it. The behavior of the cashier that was in the checkout section, I don t know if he was the owner or not, was very unprofessional and he did not care about the customers. When I told him that their price for the item I just bought is much higher than another store and asked for a price match, he didn t accept to do the price matching. I asked him if I can return it. He accepted first, but when I came back two to three minutes later, he refused to refund me. I think they cannot keep the customers with this type of disappointing behavior.

Halal Afghan establishment. Would recommend to visit.

Unprofessional staff specially in bakery section of Herat Bazar. Hygiene is even very poor. I was recently there for some bread and saw the lady in the bakery who prepares bread was rubbing her sweated body and head with her hand and touched bread which is really bad. You should train your staff how to respect the hygiene and how to deal with customers.

Unfortunately, the butcher section of this store has poor quality meat. The people who work in this department are very bad-tempered and do not have a good service staff at all. If you are concerned about your health, please do not buy from the butcher of this store. I almost come to Herat Bazaar to prepare meat. Ten days ago, I went to prepare meat according to the routine, but someone in the butcher department urged my wife to take the bone, and with a lot of insistence, she took it finaly. When we got home, we found that the bones were rotten and could not be used at all. I called immediately but the store was closed. The next day I called again and another person was told to freeze them and return it whenever I have time,and I came back and I did it but the person who insisted on buying those bones mocked me very rudely said I am a Canadian citizen. Being a Canadian citizen is not a good reason to sell rotten meat, so I would very much like to take the matter to City so that this person can no longer play with the health of the people in our community.

The worst super store in Toronto. Lying about their products and the quality of it. We drove for 2 hours as they claimed they had Afghan gandana. When I got home and opened it, it was garlic chives. They sold it for $5 per bunch even though you can get it from any other place for $1. They are liars, dont shop here. My aunt and I drove for two hours and we called earlier because of an afghan girl. It is a pity and a shame that you are treating your Afghans like this, you are selling garlic in the name of junk, shame on you dear Afghans, please dont waste your time and money in these ways of the century.

I drive 2 hours to come here for their Sheer YAKH ! Super delicious!

Best Sheeryakh in the Town

I used to go to buy bread one day a week, but a white bearded man works in the bakery who doesnt understand the alphabet and has an insulting accent. Today is our last day. Be happy, patriots

I bought halal chicken, the butcher charged me 30% more than the displayed price. When asked why youre charging more he replied the prices went up. I my question was why you dont change the display prices, he told me it is very expensive to change the display because its electronic display. I bought the bread yesterday the price was $2.75 but today they barged $ 2.50. They dont display he price clearly, so they can charge as per their liking. It is open cheating.

The shop is good. But the meat department is the worst. I got Old meet last week and I had vomited multiple times. Still the Taste of old meat is in my mouth . Unforgettable experience. Better the owner should change the meat team. Otherwise it will affect the image of your whole store.

Great store. Will be buying all the naan for my house from here.

Very dirty place, lazy staff specially meat section staff are very rude, lazy and unprofessional. Bread is always left over from the day before overall very dirty place needs to be inspected by MOH and MGCS.

Best place. You can find so much things here.

Not delicious ice cream (shiryakh). He did not issue a receipt for the ice cream we purchased. He was asked but he refused to issue a receipt for two ice creams $14. Expensive ice cream.

I don t usually write reviews, but this place is amazing. The staff are extremely nice, especially the one at the cash register, they treat you like family while also being professional. I have never been to a store with customer service better than here! On top of that there hand made ice cream (shiryak) is amazing. Everyone is friendly, the dried fruit is delicious, the naan is delicious, I highly recommend.

I have being coming here for over 5 years. Whenever I come in I am always greeted with big smiles especially Salma, she has always been very helpful, very friendly and overall a wonderful person. I always look forward to stopping by here and seeing her in the store. Over the years I ve tried various items throughout the store and I am always pleased with the quality anywhere from the bakery ice cream and cookies, breads, meats, dried fruits and other common products.

Customer service is good but please change (bakery) Naanwaye guys and management, it has been many times I bought naan and next day through them in the garbage. To the attention of the owner of the store! Please for the sake of Allah be honest when baking and selling Naan, your Naan is the worst in the world. People pay to get good stuffs and services. You know how hard it is to make money! Everyone who buys Naan I believe they make Bad dua. Be mindfull please!

Great bolanies

If I could give zero star, I would have. No customer service here! People are so rude and racist. Avoid this place.

Such a good place for Afghani food items ..sheeyakh is very good people are nice and friendly

I ate banjan and it was very good. I don t want to say this but better than moms . I bought a pakol and I ve been here many times for groceries. The sheer yakh is really good too

Shabazar Dubai market

Not happy with food. Not fresh food. Over charged me. I orders soup. They warm up and packed for me. If you don t have fresh soup. Just say we don t have it. Don t warn up the and pack without saying anything.

This is my goto place for the best long grain basmati rice.

Friendly staffs

Bad service

Very perfect

It was not good

Great bakery and naans.

Not a good shopping experience. old dry fruits. expensive items but bad quality.

You can find variety of Afghan food and cultural Clothes

Nice

I got two types of pistachio both have live insects in it

Dry fruits are Too much expensive. Every thing is expensive

Hawala, Naan bakery, and everyone else working here are amazing and professionals. Absolutely recommended

Clean

They stayed open right after closing just so I can drop by to grab sheer yakh. By far the best customer service Ive experience.

The sheer yakh is delicious, however the people who make it don t wear gloves most of the time

i called from USA, asked question . she answer in very nice way thank you haji Rustam owner of the shams super market Sacramento California

Good customer service from the gentleman who makes sheer yakh thank you

I give this rate for their customer service they lady in the front has really bad customer service, which they can hire a professional customer server to serve and communicate well with customers. We got something from there when it was not working properly I asked for exchange or return and she even did not help us and acted like we did not buy that from their store. If you wan to keep your customer loyal, you might need to work on your customer service in order to keep customers coming. Not recommended at all!!!!!!!

The market stuff is nice but Im rating the restaurant which is inside this place I ordered Manto but instead they give me ashak, even though it was a take out order but the guy was asking me if I want spoon and fork really unprofessional ,definitely not recommending it at all

Serve Halal Meat Best fresh meat store

Price a little bit expensive. I have to ask for the shopping carts nothing on the front of the store.

I bought meat and chicken. You can also eat there but now its not as economical as it was couple of year ago.

The store is clean. The service is good and the people are nice. The store has good food there. Gosht e qaaq, laandi, haleem, haft mewe nawruz, samanak are available and they are all very good! Except the restaurant which is kinda messy and not managed well.

Really Good and different

Nice people atmosphere Nice we order dry vegetables jelaybi meat and chicken was fresh yes it wasnt bad we like it. Thank you

Need to work on cleaning and good Customer service

Staff were very rude. I went into the carpet shop. The owner asked me as soon as I walked in are you going to buy anything. When I said I was looking, he walked into a back room, never to be seen again. My wife is Afghan and several people commented about her being with me (Im white). I will never be back and stay away if you dislike racists.

Good place to buy Cookware and BBQ equipment

The best and finest bakery in all of toronto. Actually I have to drive for 45 minutes to reach there.

First of all, the rice (Palaw) is the worse experience i had ever. I felt like it was cooked two days ago. Dont ever try the rice, it is waste of your money Bulaney is Ok, it worth testing. It is not waste of your money unlike rice (Palaw)

They have a lot of items, I felt little bit unwanted there...

The only Afghan Store in GTA that has quality products with a great setup, very well organized!

Thanks

Good

I found what I needed here

The ledy who works at the kitchen she was so rude the food quality and service was poor the price was so expensive then other afghan restaurants don t waste your money on there food and also there staff are so selfish and bad attitude don t waste your time there for eating food was not fresh the heat it on microwave

Good variety
