I really like this shop and wish I could give 5 stars. They have lots of Mediterranean food options from Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and other places that are hard to find elsewhere. They also have a butcher and a delicatessen section which sells ready made food in wraps or boxes which is really nice, and baklava type sweets too. There is also an olive pick and mix section which is great. The ready made food section is the best part of the shop: they have a pick and mix box section where you can fill a box with tasty Lebanese delicatessens. This shop has been here a long time and has many great features as I have just described. Unfortunately in recent times the prices have skyrocketed into very unreasonable territory and some of the ready made food is left out for days on end and then heated up I microwaves when sold. This should not be practiced and I wish they would stop and just sell this food on clearance or something.

Impressive Mediterranean food selection with hard to find Italian pasta formats and diverse ingredients. Prices lean towards the higher side, but quality and variety are the main point. A top-notch store for unique finds and a go-to food hall in London.

I have been in the shop today, very helpful and friendly staff, I enjoy the shopping every time I go there specially the roast chicken, I love the different spices thy have , there is a big variety of spices from different countries, and the meat and chicken is always nice and fresh in the butcher.

I have been shopping at the supermarket part of Phoenicia with no problems for years. The butcher's on the other hand, is another story. I tried to shop at the butcher's weekly but the poor service and attitude was overwhelming to the extent that I started walking further to go to another butchers. I have had this conversation with others who shop at Phoenicia and they also avoid the butchers. I was short on time today and I went to the Phoenicia butchers and what a mistake that was. The guy at the back had so much attitude from the get go. I was even scared to ask him for anything. I eventually mustered the courage not to be bullied and asked for what I needed. He just kept pointing at the fridge so that he didn't have to deal with me. When I asked him to cube my meat, his face was as if I swore at him. I got what I could and I required a few more items but I just grabbed my purchases and went to the tills by the supermarket and left the rest. The guy at the tills in the supermarket had no issues as usual. It's as if there are different companies. Honestly, the disrespect and attitude is so overwhelming. No one wants to have their Sunday afternoon ruined just trying to buy some food. It's as if I was begging. I have had this experience more than 5 times at the butchers at Phoenicia that I had to write this review. Please sort this out!

Very friendly, helpful staff.... You should at least have a wander inside. Great olive selection. Lots of different ingredients from many countries. Has eatery attached. Halal butcher. Middle Eastern & Mediterranean ingredients. A WHOLE WALL OF HERBS. Fabulous selection of fresh humus's. Long aisles of interesting pickles, chill sauces, many different beans, pulses, seeds. Good for the budding vegatarian interested in different cultural experiences. Maybe a bit pricey in some items...smoked almonds...BUT there's nowhere around that sells em cheaper.

Amazing deli choices with a rotisserie

Ive been going in this store my whole life with my family(we are a black British family). Today I went in, they had heaters right by the entrance which made the store really hot, I picked up my item and went browsing. I got hot so I placed the bottle down and took my jacket off. Picked the bottle back up and walked around the store. I then noticed this man who seemed to be following me. I’ve never seen him working there before so I assumed he was a creep since he was staring at me. I continued browsing and started to get scared when this man was still following me around all the iles not even trying to be discreet. Then he comes up to me and says he saw me put something under my hoodie. I was confused and shocked he had asked me this so i lifted my hoodie and said I had nothing. He then asks me “are you sure” which upset me more. I replied “of course I’m sure” he then said okay I was mistaken. Didn’t even apologise for wrongfully accusing me. As a young black female I felt embarrassed as me and the worker were the only 2 POC in the store. Worst experience I’ve ever had in there.

Vast independent food store with everything you could need from around the Mediterranean. A local institution - Really love having it on my doorstop.

Unfortunately the fresh falafel (veggie) wrap from the counter was dry, tasteless and underfilled.

Great food market with a large variety of preserves, herbs, spices, nuts, dried fruits, pickles etc. Very friendly and helpful staff, with decent prices for most items. Some difficult to find spice blends like zatar or berbere spice is also available here.

Best place to get Lebanese/middle eastern herbs and foods. They have really good whole chickens and labne. My grandma used to come to this location when she would visit to get all the ingredients she needed, they are always so kind and welcoming here as well!

Mediterranean and middle eastern grocerie shop like no other. fresh baklawa some of the best in the uk. what ever you can think of they probably have it. spices, pickles, cooking condiments, butcher. living healthy was never easier. if you want to shop where Ottolenghi does than this is the place for you. staff are very keen to help and the place is always clean

Shopped there on Jan 29 in the chilled marinated meat section. I noticed that an entire batch of marinated chicken trays were marketed as expired on the jan 28. I.e were already expired however still on the shelf. I informed the worker and he removed it from the shelf. I bought other marinated chicken in mango sauce that was supposed to last another day but it smelled funny to binned it.

Incredible selection of North African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, snacks, spices, etc. Quite expensive, but that’s probably to be expected with such shops!

The best rotisserie chicken, the best olives, plenty of foods from all over the world and great meats at a great price. Ticks all the boxes for me.

This shop offers the best and wider variety of Mediterranean food. If you need a rare format of Italian pasta, or delicious fresh baba ganoush, or even just some olives, this is the place for you. Check it out and don't forger to try a fresh pastry with coffee. Inexpensive and heart warming. Edit: just visited after a few years and it's as great as ever!

What an Aladdin’s cave of hard to find and exotic ingredients staffed by lovely people. It is rumoured Ottolenghi shops there for special ingredients. Best Baklava I have had in a LONG time. Good butcher, hot food, gluten free pastries and a fantastic olive bar.

Great local shop. Phoenicia has a big prepared meat counter, fridges of Mediterranean cheese <3 like feta and halloumi, fresh breads, fresh loose veg, a wing dedicated to tasty deli wraps and baclava... and lots of loose olives (blegh not for me tho) I go every few weeks to experiment with an audacious range of pickles, sauces, spices, and a dazzling array of teas. I only get my olive oil from here - more varieties than I knew existed and VERY reasonably priced compared to high street supermarkets. All the essential carbs - rice, cous cous, bulgar, pasta, etc. Prepare to come out of here with 20kgs of amazing jars and tins of goodness. The staff are brilliant. My last visit they all pretended to be varying degrees of sons to each other leaving me howling with laughter.

Absolute gem in Kentish Town: wide array of high quality goods, knowledgable staff, and a great layout where you can do some shopping, and get something yummy to eat at the deli in one go. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful shop, has Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mediterranean and Arab food stuffs and ingredients. Lots of organic and fresh produce (including olives). Has a wrap counter and even baklava. Really great shop.

I just bought one of their baklavas, the big diamond shaped one. DO NOT BUY IT! It is dry as anything and not tasty at all! Very disappointed, I was really looking forward to it. Next time I will just trek to Green Lanes and just buy a proper one. Extremely disappointed.
