Is there an Armenian/Middle Eastern market in San Antonio?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm looking for Lavash (the flat bread).

[samikeyp]

I think there is one at Bluemel and Wurzbach behind the Church's in the strip center where Diane Flack used to be.

[samikeyp]

There's a little market that's been there for many years...Sangeet or something like that...off 410 & Starcrest.


We used to live in the apartments right behind there many years ago and I used to walk my pregnant butt up there to buy Basmati rice. :)

While we're on the subject, where do you guys get good Middle Eastern food in SA? The best place I have found is the place we go smoke from hookahs, Sisha Cafe. It is really cheap and good.

[iminlakerland]

You people are i guess unfortunate that momma dosnt live in SA cuz i swear to you when we have a potluck or something for work, frat, or what ever the woman damn near caters the entire damn event.

[MannyIsGod]

Im, where is your mother from?

[iminlakerland]

My entire fam and i were born in Beirut Lebanon :) Mommy is Armenian dads family and moms family both escaped turkey during the Armenian genocide. And im doing research to find out if my dads family is of armenian decent as well or not.

[MannyIsGod]

Wow, thats pretty awesome. I had no idea.

[scott]

I think the place on Evers is Indian, and not really "Middle Eastern" just a heads up.

[iminlakerland]

Wow, thats pretty awesome. I had no idea.

Yea most people think im hispanice :) speaking spanish fluently kinda throws people off.

Bud of mine was in the minority living in Glendale in an apt complex that was (no shit), 85% or so Armenian. Now lives on Manchester in Inglewood but closer to Playa Del Rey. It is so cool to fly into LAX & kick back on his little balcony less than 10min later rather drive 30min to Grandma's in traffic.

Yeah there's a big section of Glendale/Burbank that's about 80-90% Armenian. To the point where I went to a Chinese restaurant and the Chinese waiter asked me in Armenian what I wanted to eat. I was like :wtf I'm not Armenian. The bad thing about that section is there are a lot of Armenian gangs now.

What is typical Middle Eastern cuisine?

[E20]

Rice and a side dish.......mostly every culutre's food revolves around rice.

[Kori Ellis]

What is typical Middle Eastern cuisine?

A lot of rice - but they have like 10 different kinds

For example, Persians have:

Adass Polo (Lentil Rice)
Baghali Polo (Lima Bean Rice)
Sabzi Polo (Vegetable Rice)
and then white rice.

They have a lot of stews like GhormehSabzi (Vegetable Stew) and another one that is popular that has something like pomegrante in it.

They have this famous fish dish that I can't think of the name. And for meat, they have a variety of kabobs -- Kubideh (ground beef) and Soltani (beef filet) and they have a bunch of different chicken kabobs too.

And they have this good dip with yogurt, cucumbers and walnuts. And their side salads are diced cucumbers and tomatoes, mixed with lemon juice and olive oil.
