Fatima Bazaar - Santa Clara, California

rea F.

found this place while looking for a Turkish market. was pleasantly suprised to see they also served food (and have a deli!) for dine in options they have a lovely sitting area outside.

we got a falafel pita meal, a falafel salad (recommend!!!) met the owner and ended our meal with a nice mint tea.

Best sausage links in town! If you are craving sausage and looking for a fresh in house made ones, Fatima bazar is the place to go. Those are awesome, fresh, and most importantly no preservative. Also, the meat station is really neat and clean with lots of varieties and all fresh. The staff is really nice and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Hate to write this comment but had to. My husband and I are not their new customers. We have been coming here since they first opened years ago, even before they change their name to Fatima Bazaar, even before the butcher/cooked food section existed. It’s the closest supermarket to our home that carries halal meats, even if it’s just frozen meats back then. We always got the crescent marinated chicken and nuggets then, sometimes the frozen quails plus other grocery items. We even managed to exchange some conversations with the owner, Marwan, when they first opened.

We like supporting small businesses especially when it’s Muslim owned. Since they started the butcher section, we have been coming here at the very least, Once A Week! As I am the one who does groceries most times, I even cut the cooked food section some slack when they forgot to include the drinks in my set order, forgot the fries or I ended up getting Burnt Hawawshi or overly dried(as if it was frm yesterday’s leftover) rice, on many different orders. But I still gave them 5 stars on door dash coz their foods are good. Garlic sauce was great, shawarma & kebabs were juicy and delicious and the others I ordered were really flavorful!

Butcher section, is clean, offers many different cuts and options and their meats are fresh. The only thing that has been bothering us and other customers(we overheard many times when we were there waiting) is how Slooooooooowwww they are. It is so very slow that sometimes we had to give them a pass and drove a little further elsewhere to get our meats. Every time I went there, there were many people behind the counter but I’m unsure what they were doing. Also it’s confusing perhaps that both butcher and cooked food sections are in one same area. Perhaps if they separate them, the employees could focus more on doing their job. Also to me, it’s hygiene issues. If you took food handler and food safety course, you know that raw meats section has to be separated frm anything cooked, and their shawarma is there right next to the raw meat chillers and they also prepare pita bread for shawarma and hawawshi etc on the work counter behind the raw meat chiller. As I have gotten the deli smoked turkey breast many times before, I’m just a bit off seeing them placing my order of deli meat in the same plastic bag as my raw meat/chicken orders, although they packed them separately. But still… a few bags of raw chicken with a bag of deli meat…

This morning as I was in a bit of a hurry, I just got leg quarters although I really wanted to get way more to stock up for next week. I also wanted to get the deli smoked turkey breast but I didn’t see anyone there and the butcher that got my order earlier was nowhere to be found, perhaps preparing stuffs in the back room. There were a couple and two friends waiting for cooked foods but nothing frm butcher section. The staffs, while friendly, but they’re not proactive. Since both butcher & cooked food shares the same area, they could’ve looked out for each other and just ask customers who have just walked in on what they need so that they could holler those in charge of the section instead of letting customers wait forever to be noticed. I can’t be bothered to wait this time and just walked away without asking for a pound of deli smoked turkey breast.

I understand that perhaps all staffs are busier in the morning due to stocking up and prepping stuffs esp in the butcher/cooked food section but even the cashier, while very friendly, is slow. Some items weren’t in the system and she had to manually enter them but couldn’t get through. So again, since I was in a hurry this morning, I had to give some items a pass coz it was taking a while.

Overall, we still like how clean the butcher section is and they offer many options.

(Update: 2/19/25) $40 for the oxtail?! I’m going to make oxtail stew for guests not making tallow.

I absolutely love this Market. It's on the smaller side, but they seem to still have everything that I was looking for. The people working there are also very kind and helpful. I had driven past this location a few times and finally stopped and realized I had been missing out. This will be my new go to for my essentials 🤍🤍

They had everything we needed from international foods to produce and halal meats. The Ramadan decor is the best I’ve seen in the USA. They’ve got lamps, lights, hanging signs, and more!! We will be shopping here regularly.
