Safa middle Eastern is a shop that we need in Guelph. You can find something unique in this store, otherwise you need to travel to Toronto. Thanks for providing us so many high quality products here in Guelph. The staffs are very friendly and kind.

I’ve been in to this store 2-3 times, providing the greatest costumer service , I got meat and some dry fruits it was really fresh and with reasonable price ( since now a days every where we go the prices are way up high).

It is good that we have like this shop in Guelph but as there is no other option close to Guelph we have to buy with HIGHER price at this store. I want to share two experiences at this shop.1. I bought Marjan rice, 20lb, from Safa and it had the lowest quality ever. I bought the same rice from other shops in Toronto with better quality and lower price. When I asked him to return it after half an hour bargaining, he finally took the rice back. It wasn’t good attitude. Specially in Canada which the customer and providers act very respectfully together2. I asked the shop manager about the quality of the canned vegetables and told him that some of the canned veggies has some tiny stones. He told me in a very impolite manner that these are Iranian vegetables and that’s why it has stone. It was totally not respectful.I prefer not buy anything from this shop to let the manager knows that he should respect all nations and be more polite and fare to his customers.

I went shopping from this store many times in the past 4 years. Most of the time the price at this shop is higher that other persian, afghan, and arabian stores. Also the quality of the material like fresh vegetables and nuts are very low and they seems to be very old. I prefer to drive to Waterloo or Mississauga to buy better quality with lower price.

This is a wonderful store! We liked the friendly butcher who cut our lamb chops perfectly- great price & quality. Staff helped to suggest good ideas about different products/recipes. We wish we had known it sooner because we miss Mesa when it closed. Safa makes Guelph a better place! Thanks so much! Bill & Helen

Very happy to have found this store. It has a wide variety of Middle-Eastern foods. You can find Sohan-e Qom brittle from Iran, dried fruits and snacks, best home-made baklava in Guelph, fresh meat from the butcher shop at the back, and my favorite- Bulgarian sheep cheese. The staff is always so friendly and polite, it is a pleasure to shop there.

Today(April/5/2023), I went to safa and bought 2 kunafah( recommended brand by the sales girl .) It's fully fungus infected damaged product as you can see in the picture.After viewing the reply to this review, I called the store. First they ghosted me saying that they will call be back within minutes. And when I called them again, the guy, manager I guess, was too rude and impolite. He was like why are u calling and wasting his time for this silly 15 dollars. He goes on questioning where the other kunafeh is
