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
Lulu’s International Market has truly stepped up with their recent remodel! The store looks clean, modern, and inviting, making for a much better shopping experience. The prepared food section is fresh and delicious, and the entire layout is organized and easy to navigate. I used to do most of my grocery shopping at Valley Foods, but after visiting Lulu’s, I’m officially making the switch. If you’re looking for quality ingredients and a well-curated shopping experience, this is the place to go! ~ Bella O
