Great place with a surprising number of recognizable Pakistani products. According to the store owners, the store was opened in 94 by 3 brothers from Karachi.They claim that lamb and beef is slaughtered in Connecticut by Muslims (on further questioning, not by Pakistanis), and chicken is brought from upstate New York. The chickens had their necks attached, which is an indication of halal meat, but not absolute confirmation.Note: As of June 28, there was a non-Muslim employee working there as well, who was handling the meat section.

I have found the goat meat here (which I use to cook biryani) to be excellent. Very professional and friendly place.

You get all Asian produce here but unfortunately unhygienic and always stinks of meat. Being a vegetarian and entering that shop is extremely painful.

An honest assessment is 4. It seems to be a good grocery one, but there are nuances. You can buy cereals and non-perishable foods.

I always visited Cheema to buy a goat meat. But last few visit has made me very disappointed. They are giving worst goat meat nowadays and customer service is very bad now. No respect to regular customer. Never going back again in this place.

Lamb meat is always great ! They also have a variety of nice desserts and drinks. The only thing I dont like is the beef its kinda hard when you cook it. Nice service too

This place is terrible - weird unlabeled meat and rude, inattentive staff. Do not give them business.

Not sure how organic the meat is, but when I cooked the chicken it was done in 30 minutes and was flaky like store bought chicken. Organic chicken takes longer to cook. You also need to buy a minimum of $10 if using a credit or debit card. Customer service is good.

Its an established store with the same owners for last 20 years. Amongst the Muslim community this is one of the best places to get meat from. Meat is fresh, cut exactly how you like it and lots of other things to buy in store.

Review №40

The meat here is halal of course but I would really suggest to get your meat from a cheaper and cleaner place. They also dont know how to treat the meat they chop it as if they are providing for zoo animals. The collection of Pakistani herbs and spices are complete and you can find some of the best basmati rice here as well. Also if you are into halal burgers, halal turkey and beef bacons and hotdogs, they have a high quality set of convenient food items as well.

Good night..In Boston, Arabic and Indian groceries are widespread, thank God, and this coincidence happened in the Cambridge suburb, and I have works that I like, such as Macintosh and semolina, for lovers of basbousa, shaboora, matai, meat, halal chicken, and other things.
