M A Food Cash & Carry

I stop by here for white and brown basmati rice, sometimes some tins or bags of beans, a box of delicious baklava, a bag of ruchi chanachur, mild Madras curry powder, other spices, a tin of dolmades, sauces and of course every once in a while a handful of okra.There is a story behind the okra. When I moved from Amsterdam to Florida, decades ago, the first unusual thing I encountered in the supermarket was frozen okra. Having no idea what it was, I bought a bag, of course. I cooked potatoes, then fried them with onions, added the okra and topped it off with some tuna. It was delicious! Now I sometimes add some okra when I am eating anything with rice, too.

Good cash and carry shop for specially the Bangladeshi people. Fresh meat and vegetables available.. Mostly on tuesday and wednesday. The butcher Selim bhai is a good man, friendly. If you want fresh halal meat, M A food is the best option.The only reason i'm giving 4 star is the price is a bit higher than the other Hala cash and carry in portsmouth. Otherwise every thing is good.

Literally shocked after having the first visit here. I was in rush to go to my job & quickly brought a cake box from this shop. It was about morning time, when I open it see what I found! Smell was like garbage, a completely expired food.I gave a bite before smelling it & startes vomiting. Following day, I went to their shop & show them. They replied, it happens! They offer another new cake box for me rather than giving a proper answer of that. I will must complain to food hygiene.

Awesome for all your culinary herbs and spices and much more.

Excellent choice of regional ingredients so you can cook international dishes at home. My go to place for all the spices called for in authentic Indian recipes.

Great range of spices and good Indian food collections. But when you go to buy any meat items it appears that one particular butcher appears to be very rude and reluctant to serve the customers properly. I think they need to improve on their customer service.

Not a very pleasant place to even find a product, if one can get over the strong smell in the store that would be good.There are many better stores then this one and more pleasant to shop in.

Perishable items.Average price is very high. At the same time quality is questionable.Non perishable items.Very limited choice & high price.Need to have a genuine Bengali shop. Not Bangladeshi.
