Trying All MIDDLE EASTERN/ARAB Food Items at TRADER JOES! What to Buy & Avoid

Can you do a video on things to try from Trader Joe’s?

You better return that Zataar and get your $2 back 😂😂😂 also the kibbeh is so nasty. I’m surprised you liked the shakshouka But you’re right so much easier to make these things at home

you're so right! the messier the shawarma, the better!

This was a fun video to watch! Thanks for posting , and I would love to see you post a gyro recipe !

Have you tried making tabouli with pomegranate molasses? Like WOW even in fattoush, my MIL does it with lots of salads and it’s actually my addiction

Why is the knafeh like that 🤣 I prefer the ashta version too!

MashAllah 💚

If you bake the kunefe less, it tastes better. I like it a lot lol.

I love the shakshuka and like to have it on hand for a quick breakfast. I also bought the Knafeh this weekend because I've just had knafeh in the brain and my brain sis a dance when I saw it. I'm going to try it this weekend

War'a dawali to me ias always done in tomatoe sauce and ,warm. I keep a pot of that, malfoof, and tabouli stay in my house weekly lol. Maqluba and shwarma to spoil myself. All store bought food has to much In it. I came here from palestine when I was 4. I love arab food to much to buy it. Great video though its nice that arab food is becoming popular in stores

You forgot to review TJ Harissa which they carry.

OMG I cannot thank you enough for doing that or even thinking about doing that
As a Lebanese myself where we take so much pride in our food I get offended every time I go to Trader Joe's and I see that tabouli or kibbe the two main national dishes of Lebanon
the tabouli didn't even care to try it because it looks anything but tabouli it looks like more of a barley salad
The only thing I give trader joe's a credit for is their garlic paste the toum

So glad I found your channel I love Middle East food! My favorite dessert is kanafeh could you post your recipe on your channel pls! Do you have any Middle East recipes posted?

I'm just surprised to see these items in a regular US store (rather than a middle eastern store) you wouldn't find almost any of them in a UK supermarket but looks like it's probably best left to the middle eastern stores and restaurants anyway.

you are talented and beautiful, what more does a man want ;)

Is it just me or she resembles Camila Cabello?

Yes please to the gyro recipe please and thank you!

Trader Joe’s is just my favorite place! I love their worldwide selection of food items

I love their kanafe!!😱

I like the kunafe…. Lol the rest… nah… zaatar is overpriced and prob old and not fresh

Thank you for the Za’atar tip! I liked the flavor of the TJs one but even using a ton felt like it was lacking some depth... I think TJs snacks and food are good for when you don’t want to cook but want some of the flavor! All of the Mexican/Latin food deff doesn’t come close to what I can make, and neither do their Indian items, BUT I always keep some on hand for those days I have 15 minutes for lunch or it’s been a long day 🤣

You have an engaging personality! You should make more such videos that are beyond recipes, like more get to know me types. Or maybe Trader Joe’s seasonal items review as well

Can you make stuffed grape leaves for me

As someone who is often tempted by Trader Joe’s, I really appreciate these honest reviews!!

You are so beautiful🌹...

👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️

But is it halal though?

As a Lebanese, the Tabouli looked weird and the Chicken Shawerma. Not edible at all!

Love your channel!

You gotta make a video for your mothers recipe for spanakopita with cream cheese. 🙏🙏

Is Trader Joe’s stuff halal

why are you wearing hijab when you can still see your hair? What's the point?

The round spanakopita is so much better and it's made in Greece.

Best thing to do avoid any bought store items it has to be fresh made and authentic taste

The kenafa reaction kills me haha. The best Kenafa I've ever had is Nabulsi Kenafa in Palestine. <3

Shakshuka is so easy to make I don’t know if I cld bring myself to purchase at TJ’s lol 😂 or frozen from anywhere

What did you pour on the Kunefe?

Trader Joes need to sponsor your videos or consult with you…

Lip fillers?

This video is from 2 years ago but I would love more video content like this instead of just shorts and recipes maybe trying Middle Eastern food from different shops or restaurants or even like countries and actual videos ❤

bruh are these even halal

Love to watch uour videos girl. You and your recipies both are a treat. Thank you

Did you mention Libya!! Or I just imagine 😅

Games ! What happen to the harissa ?

That spinach cheese thingee is very much like the samosa!! Triangle shaped and stuffed...I get such things in the frozen isle too in the fancy grocery store.

Are the chicken items halal??

Love 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿💯💯💯💯🎁😍😍❤️❤️❤️

What do you expect about the dolmas having mushy rice??? It’s been sitting inside an aluminum can for who knows how long. Of course, it’s not fresh. No canned food is fresh. I don’t know why people complain about canned food. You won’t be complaining if it’s the end of the world and you’re forced to eat canned food. Don’t review food if you’re too high class for canned goods and premade stuff. Just appreciate the face that you have food compared to the millions of starving men, women and children in Pálestíne and any third world countries. Next time you complain about food, just think about the babies and children in Gázá.
