" Al Barakat is my go-to supermarket for all things Afghan! Their bakery always has fresh breads that remind me of home. I love grabbing some baklava and the variety they offer is fantastic. Everyone working there is ready to help you feel at home, and it’s always a pleasure shopping there. I can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, the experience was not great. I had high hopes when I entered Al Barakat, but the service was incredibly slow, and my order was incorrect. When I tried to address it, I was met with indifference. The foods I did receive were decent, but I doubt I will return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the sheryakh after hearing great things but was disappointed by the taste. It didn't seem authentic, and the cream felt out of place. The service staff was friendly enough, but the food just didn’t hit the mark for me. I might try again to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Al Barakat and have to say it's one of the best finds in town! Their unique selection of Afghan products is impressive, and the quality of meats is superb. The staff are always polite and willing to assist. If you're looking for authenticity in Afghan cuisine, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)
