Besan’s Market & Restaurant

High-quality, reasonably priced halal butcher — sourcing their product from all-natural, Amish farms. An excellent choice for the mindful cook, but not wanting to break the bank. On a recent visit, leg of lamb was expertly butterflied and cut into kebab pieces. The store is a well-packed source of spices, sauces, pickles, yoghurts and cheeses — anything you may want for a Middle Eastern or South Asian meal. Cheap metal bbq skewers in stock. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Super friendly people working here. My brother bought me some Palestinian zaatar here a few weeks back that was phenomenal. I put it on everything. Today we decided to have shawarma at the restaurant and we were blown away. Pickled red cabbage on top of flavorful, perfectly cooked chicken shawarma, laid on a bed rice—which featured an excellent texture and teemed with saffron. The little side salad and hummus had generous sprinklings of sumac. Fresh and delicious. We will be back!!

I drove all the way from Santa Rosa down here in my only available time to purchase some goods for my family but they aren't open and the hours on Google maps says they're open from 9am but nope so disappointed please guys update your opening hours so u don't waste ppl time to wait in front of ur store or drive for a long distances the stores around me are owned by Jordanian Christians friends and they close on Sunday's as them holidays thank u

My boyfriend & I decided to walk more often since we’ve moved closer to San Mateo Ave. We’re taking turns on choosing what place we’ll go to eat. This time it was my boyfriend’s pick. He chose “Big Joe’s.” He has a watch watering Burger 🍔 with side salad 🥗 . I had scrumptious avocado 🥑 BLT 🥪 with side salad 🥗. Both were very delicious . Big Joe’s is here to stay on our yummy list.
