Customer's reviews

I have shopped at this store twice and both yes have been pleasantly surprised by the inventory (something for everyone) , as well as, the friendly, kind and patient staff. Oh ,and the smells coming from the on site restaurant are enticing ; however the main star of this production is the prices. I am hoping the Covid did not change any of the things I described. Not everything is price friendly,; however, when blended with those that are, you barely feel the pinch! I would take the time and if nothing else, do something different this week. You:re really gonna thank me and that's a promise! ~ Bridgett R
Since our move in August of last year, I've appreciated the convenience of this 🥙 mediterranean 🧆 mideastern ba'ala 🙏🏼 Lulu's [International] Market can never replace the beloved ba'ala where generations of my family shopped for Greecian & Turkish 'goods' .. but Lulu's has become a comforting staple in our transition from the previous residency to El Cajon. Today I brought my 21 yo son to this spacious, lively market where I witnessed his approval & appreciation for the variety of freshly prepared hot foods (like beef/chicken shawarma & pilaf) & left more confident that my boy will refer to this place of business when craving Mom's home cooked meals though no longer living under my care 🥰🙏🏼 I recommend planning a visit to Lulu's & allow yourself the ability to 'be in the moment' during your shopping adventure!! 👍🏼☺️ ~ alexia
With my Lebanese chef background, I was struck by the outstanding sandwich quality. A recommendation highlighted the absence of lamb in their beef shawarma, differing from Iraqi establishments. The elderly gentleman showed humility and kindness, contrasting with another gentleman's agitation. The older gentleman’s passion made me a satisfied customer. Through extensive travel and trying various restaurants, I firmly believe this tops all San Diego eateries, including the Wagyu Shawarma place. ~ C C
