What is a Middle Eastern or Arab grocery, and how does Besler Market fit?
Middle Eastern & Arab grocery
A Middle Eastern or Arab grocery stocks the staples of Levantine, Gulf, and North African home cooking: tahini, olives, dates, bulgur, lentils and chickpeas, pomegranate molasses, rose and orange-blossom water, sumac and other spices, stuffed vine leaves, halal meat, and sweets like halva and baklava. Turkish, Mediterranean, and Arab pantries overlap heavily, since they share the same ingredients and many of the same dishes.
Besler Market is a Turkish and Mediterranean market first, but that overlap means most of what an Arab or Middle Eastern shopper needs is already on our shelves, from Aleppo tahini and halva to Cortas rose water and pomegranate molasses. We are honest about it: we are not a specialty Gulf or North African importer, but for everyday Levantine and Arab cooking, one trip covers the pantry.
For Muslim and Arab families around Bothell, Mill Creek, and Snohomish County, the nearest well-stocked Middle Eastern grocery has often meant a drive to Lynnwood, Kent, or the Seattle area. Besler Market opened on Highway 9 to bring that pantry closer, with every meat product halal certified.

What should I buy at Besler Market to cook a specific Middle Eastern dish or set a mezze table?
If you know the dish but not the aisle, here is how to shop our shelves by what you are making:
For hummus and a mezze spread
Pick up tahini (Aleppo or Sera), white chickpeas, olive oil, sumac, and Crescent zaatar olives. Add labneh and stuffed vine leaves, and you have a full mezze table without a second stop.
For tabbouleh, kisir, or cig kofte style dishes
Choose extra-fine cig koftelik bulgur, pomegranate molasses (nar eksisi), sumac, and pepper paste. These are the backbone of the fresh bulgur salads shared across Turkish and Levantine tables.
For a Ramadan iftar
Start with medjool dates to break the fast, then halal meat for the main, and finish with halva, baklava, or Turkish delight. Turkish coffee and tea round out the evening. Dates and sweets move quickly in Ramadan, so come early.
For grilling: kebabs, kofte, and halloumi
Combine halal ground and cut meats, Baraka halloumi for the grill, sumac and a spice blend, and flatbread. Coarse pilavlik bulgur or rice makes the side.
For stuffed vegetables (dolma and mahshi)
Use Yakamoz grape leaves in brine or the uncooked stuffed cabbage, eggplant, and peppers, with rice and pomegranate molasses to finish. Burcu canned dolma is the shortcut when time is short.

Frequently asked questions
Is Besler Market an Arab or a Turkish grocery?

We are upfront that we are not a specialty Gulf or North African importer, but for everyday Levantine and Arab cooking, we cover the pantry.

Do you have Turkish or Arabic coffee?
Besler Market carries Turkish coffee (Mehmet Efendi), the finely ground coffee used across Turkey and the Arab world for cezve and ibrik brewing. Pair it with dates or halva for the traditional finish to a meal.
