Bashoor Food Store

This used to be Caro World Food Store but has now changed it’s name to Bashoor Food Store. I do not know why but I’m sure they have a good reason. It is pretty much the same shop as far as I can tell.
This shop is well needed in the East End as there is a distinct lack of ethnic/​world food stores for all your cooking supplies & ingredients.
I used to pop in here all the time when I lived closer for my favourite chapatis and also the odd spice or herb but this place sells so much more. They specialise in selling Kurdish, Arabic, Polish, Iranian & Turkish foods, fresh & frozen. They also sell Halal meat, which is brilliant in an area that hasn’t many ethnic produce shops or butchers, let alone Halal butchers.
I was on the hunt for some saffron one day & I’d tried so many supermarkets & shops that I’d almost given up looking and then I remembered this place (it’s also handy in that it is open 7 days a week). Right enough, these dudes had what I was looking for and a great price too! Saffron can be stupidly expensive (I’ve recently seen some in M&S at a daft price) but in here they sold wee individual plastic containers of saffron for only 99p! Brilliant. Joojeh kebabs for tea! Yas :)
As well as herbs, spices, fresh foods, meat and the jars/​packets they also sell fresh ethnic pastries/​sweets and breads too. The last time I was in nearly the WHOLE counter was covered in them sweet treats maybe to tempt weaker customers (I was not tempted coz I am STRONG! Haha, nah, not really, I just prefer savoury snackage), clever.
If this place was as big and as well stocked as say Super Asia in the South Side then this would deffo be a 5 star place. I just feel like a need a wee bit more choice, but for a start its a great place, especially in this part of the city.
