Sindbad Grocery Stores - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Bought lamb shanks and the store owner shared how to cook them. Tightly wrap the shanks in parchment paper with tomatoes and herbs and cook overnight at your oven’s lowest setting. I opened them up and broiled them for a few minutes before serving. They turned out amazing!

I needed ingredients for a very specific recipe, I messaged the company and had my answers within minutes. My husband went and picked up the products the same day! One lady knew exactly what he needed and the cashier knew what I was making! In and out in less than 10 minuets. Thank you, you made this experience easy! Great products as well. We will be back. 😋

He’s very helpful and kind you should come here!!

Store was amazing! The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable about his products. Even thought this store is a bit of a drive for me I will be making it part of my regular stops. Thank you

Has great meat and international sweets

This place has become my new go-to for pita, hummus, and garlic! Some of the best around for sure

Great store! Love the options and everything they have to offer.

Great environment, super super super clean. The best middle eastern grocery store in town. Customer service is super and generous. Their bread is the best. You will never find a great store like this in the town.

Super friendly, helpful/informative and great prices. Really can’t recommend enough!

Drove an hour to come here, and they have everything for the Dubai chocolate. Super friendly staff

Has the best darn Gyro meat in the area, great variety of spices, treats, and general food choices. Love going there whenever I can!

Sinbad is amazing! Nicest people run the store. The halal meat is fresh and tasty and the best in the area. They have all types of international products that you cant find anywhere else. I only get my meat from Sinbad. Their bread is soft and fresh. Highly recommend coming to Sinbad for anything you need

Excellent Quality products, halal meat mA and nice service. Ask about his fresh made bread sooo yummy!

Nice place! Delicious fresh bread, good selection of groceries — rice, beverages, meat, cheese, spices, treats, etc. all the staples. You Also it is a very clean and well-maintained store. The owner and staff are friendly, enthusiastic and helpful.

I love it.... I am fascinated with this store here we can get Our products.

Great store! Best selection in Genesee county for any middle eastern/south Asian needs! Owner is a great guy, always putting the customer first! Amazing to have a great selection here locally in the flint area.

What a beautiful place. This is a true blessing to have in this community. There would be no no big tummies if this store was not around. Thank you for all your kind services.

10/10 Service! The store is always clean, the meat is always fresh and the owner is always very welcoming. I highly recommend, even if you don't eat Halal.

Magdi and family are very helpful and friendly. Good selection and good service!

Such a wonderful place to shop! Always have everything we need, great prices and all! Everyone from the owners to the workers are amazing and always very helpful every time we come in!

This is a great international market with a huge variety to pick from! I was able to find everything I was looking for. Highly recommend!!

I had a great experience shopping at Sindibad. The variety of products they offer is impressive, from fresh produce and meats to a wide selection of Mediterranean spices and specialty items, fresh pita bread as well. The store was clean, well-organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Mediterranean ingredients in the area!

Great grocery store with all the hard to find items. What better selection than the big box stores. Highly recommend!

Wonderful little store.. the owner is informative and charming. I will go back.

The best store for groceries in flint . With fresh and packaged products of every kind. Love shopping here

Nice good job service is good employee friendly

This place is so amazing!! The customer service is so professional and friendly.

Sinbad's is our go to international grocery stop! The owner is always incredibly friendly and helpful, and will kindly guide you if you cannot find a specific item! Recently we went in on a unique mission to find ingredients for the viral 'Dubai' chocolate bar recipe, and when we asked for one ingredient, he instantly knew what we were making and helped us find everything! This is the same kind of amazing experience we always have at Sinbad, and is one of the reasons we will continue going back!

I love coming to this store. They are always friendly and have great suggestions. Their ginger roots are always nice and large. Try their pita too! It's so much better than at other stores.

Great store, with everything I needed and more! Very helpful staff as well, I will be coming back.

Clean, nice prices, friendly staff, I love all the different spices, and it has quality food. I highly recommend shopping here!!!

Very clean and amazing hospitality.

My new favorite store! They have everything you could ever need. Everything was super clean, and the owner was the kindest man 💗 10/10!!!

Best international market in the greater Flint area. The owner, Magdy, is an amazing man who sells the best lamb chops and other choice cuts of beef, chicken and turkey, makes homemade pita bread, and is an absolute joy to do business with. Feels like home. So many good things, huge selection of spices, gulab jamun, tahini, semolina, flours of all kinds, fresh meat, fresh pita, you’ll just have to stop in and experience it for yourself. Very clean and very well kept. Definitely try the homemade pita bread and garlic spread. Recently purchased kofta for kabobs and it’s the best! Can’t say enough! Thank you Magdy for all you do.

Great store! Owner very helpful and the bread..gave me some on the house to try and its amazing

One of the best store around, they are so welcoming and helpful. They care about every single custom that will pass there entrance door. PLUS THE STORE SMELLS AMAZING

I've been to this store many times before and Love it from the items available to the owner, his wife and daughter. Very pleasant people. But today... I brought my auntie with me ( her first time there). The way the owner Marco, treated my Auntie was AMAZING!!! So much respect, so knowledgeable!!! He catered to her like the princess she is. I'm flabbergasted!!! Helped her with her health, let her try things. But the best thing I learned today is that he will clean and marinate meat for you to cook at home on the grill. Listen... I'm a "Negative Nancy". I'm telling you this spot is amazing!!! It was reccomend to me and now I'm reccomending it to you.

The tastiest falafel in town! Order in advance and you won't be disappointed. I went in for the first time in about a decade and the new owner is very friendly and accommodating. Everything is spotless and the variety is outstanding. Even the prices are great! I'm very glad I decided to check it out in my search for fresh falafel

LOVE this place. Great selection of hard to find items, always well-organized and decorated. The owner is always friendly, making it a great grocery trip every time.

Lovely little grocery store packed with all the things you could need but can't find anywhere else. Owners were kind and very helpful.

One of the best place to get fresh meat and chicken .…. Plus good service

Always friendly and always something new! They have the best bread and garlic dip around, and I always come here to get my vegeta. When we went in today, they had a new yogurt in stock that we were excited to try. We always feel welcome here, and they always treat us like family. 11/10, would reccomend!

The best international store in flint

Update: the owner, who knows he was unnecessarily and deliberately rude, decided to reply with the same childish behavior so this is now a 1-star review. His rudeness, sensitivity, and inability to handle feedback and criticism is obvious in his replies to reviews that aren’t “5-star”. A simple customer interaction appears like an inspection to him because he can’t comprehend what criticism is. If you treated all your customers with a basic level of respect and kindness then you wouldn’t be so wounded as to take this as an attack. I am polite wherever I but the kindness wasn’t returned here. I thought maybe the disregard towards me was just a general thing so I didn’t take it to heart but the owner was very friendly to everyone else that came in the shop—greeting them when they walked through the door, telling them to have a good day when they left, etc—but for some reason his kindness fell short with me. I thought, no problem, since this was the first time I have ever been to this store and thought maybe all the other customers were familiar and frequent. But when I got to the register to check out, it was strange. I had only been waiting a few minutes, nothing too big, but when the owner finally noticed me and another guy behind me at the counter, he speaks only to the man behind me and tells him that he will get to him quickly and only spoke to him specifically—not me—even though I was ahead of him. I thought, hmm okay fine—maybe he knows that person and maybe he just didn’t see me from where I was standing or something. So I wait a bit more and the owner makes his way to the counter—a huge counter btw. And I thought he would greet me or something but he says… nothing. He says absolutely nothing to me and doesn’t even bother to look at me. And it’s not a language barrier thing because this same man has been chatting up the other customers in both English and another language. I think, hm. Okay. But what really brought me to write this review is when he handed me my receipt—or I guess I should say, *should* have handed me my receipt. Again, this is my first time here and I know in some places that sometimes there are two types of receipts: one for the customer and one for the business. So when the cashier pulls out a receipt, one that he neither handed to me or pushed to my side of the *very* big counter, I thought that it might be his copy of the receipt. After all, there was no indication that it was mine and again he made no effort to even talk or look at me so I assumed the transaction wasn’t over. Anyone cashiering will let you know when it is and he didn’t. So, naturally, I stand waiting for my copy but this man made no effort to let me know the transaction was over—not verbally or physically. And it’s after I’d been standing there for maybe 8 seconds that he *finally* decides to deem me worthy of looking at—only for him to look at me like I’m dumb and then finally slide the receipt towards me this time. And I felt a little silly because again he said and did nothing to indicate he was finished. But still I say, politely as always, oh, thank you. And again, the cashier says nothing and doesn’t bother to look me. Just pretends like I’m not even there and I’m a little taken aback because I’m not sure if I mistakenly offended him or something but, regardless of his apparent dislike of me, I tell him to have a good day. And if you can guess it, he says nothing. No “have a good day”. No “Come again”. No anything. Now, I disregarded the fact that I felt overly watched because this is a small business and it makes sense to keep an eye on customers. But with the culmination of all of these things it felt…. odd. And if you know what I’m talking about… then you *know* what I’m talking about. Overall, I now rate this place a one star. The hospitality I was given was nothing like what others described in the reviews. I guess it’s only reserved for a particular type of guest and I didn’t fit that bill.

Amazing place! All their products are fresh and their prices are very reasonable. They have different varieties of products that you can’t find it somewhere else. The owner is super friendly and polite. Don’t forget to grab the fresh Daily Bread! It’s amazing!!!!!!!

This place is one of the cleanest grocery stores, and everything is clean and tidy. It also sells fresh meat, including halal beef and lamb. I love this place.

An excellent supermarket that is offering variety of groceries at affordable prices. The store is always clean and well organized. The staff are courteous and helpful all the time.

I had the pleasure to shop few times at Sindbad Grocery Stores and took my family from Canada with me once. The grocery is very clean and well managed. Customer service is great, very generous and hard working people that care about their products and their customers. Always looking for new and better products to try and demonstrate. Very glad I found it. Thank you!

Great selection, quality products! 💯 The BEST house made bread, the owner even pulled out a slice for us to try right on the spot.

Amazing experience. Went there for the first time today, everyone was super nice and caring. I got a bunch of different treats to try and I look forward to it and will be going back! I 100% recommend going there for trying new things or getting things you already like!

Best shopping experience I’ve had. Went in sinbads to check it out and the owner and his family were so sweet and helpful! Thank you! I will be back. I would recommend sinbads to anyone looking to try middle eastern foods.

Excellent shop. So clean and so many options to choose from! Thank you so much! Great experience.

My first experience at this store! Super clean, organized, and full of all the foods I love. Owner is incredibly nice and helpful! I will for sure be coming back

The cleanest store I have ever been in.

My grandmother and I walked around for about an hour and a half and honestly, this is better than Kroger. High-quality foods and the staff was so very kind to us. When my grandmother and I checked out there were these lychee jellies on the counter as samples. The owner so kindly gave my grandmother and I all of the samples. We will most definitely be back!!! 😊🫶🏽

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. This place is amazing. The owners genuinely treat you like family and the prices are great. Definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family

The owner was very friendly. Their prices are fair and they have great products!

Great products and even better service. Phenomenal selections and good prices

Very kind owner and I find alot of my favorite halal food products

The best place to get spices hands down! Very clean store and always friendly service every time I go in. Thank you for carrying my favorite dried figs!

Good people, good prices, and good organization

This store is a hidden gem!! Highly recommend for everyone! Very organized store with a large variety of items. The friendly and knowledgeable staff made me feel so welcome and excited to return back here often!

A wide variety of middle eastern staples! The fresh baked pita bread is delicious! The store is well stocked and very clean. It’s worth a trip to check out all they have to offer.

Absolutely love it here! If they don't have something in stock that you need, you can just ask the owner and he'll order it for you. He even goes into the back to get things for us. Best customer service ever.

Best milk EVER! So clean!!!! Best, most friendly owner, too! He’ll set you up whatever you need!

Had everything I needed and more! Fresh baked pita, spices galore, great deals on a ton of dried fruit. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. Amazing frozen samosas! I wish I lived closer. I stock up any time I drop by.

Best garlic sauce, hummus and fresh bread in Flint. Always coming back for fresh middle eastern foods!!!

Amazing customer service, wide range of products that are not available anywhere else

Our first time exploring the store. Amazed by the variety of items carried. Magdy was extremely helpful and very welcoming. Will most definitely be returning.

I haven't been in the store in a while everything is very neat and clean. The owner helped me out immediately and was extremely pleasant. He went beyond his duties. I highly recommend this store, Great impression.

Went to this store last week. It was my first time and the store is very nice and clean. Owner is very welcoming and helpful. I was very pleased with my experience.

The best around the owner is very helpful and over a great selection of variety thank you

Great store, wonderful employees. Best bread around!!

I was happy to find a grocer that carried the ingredients needed for a variety of our favorite middle eastern foods. The gentleman working the register was unbelievable in his customer service, patiently answering questions, showing us where products were, and recommending some as well. This place is located conveniently off of the freeway and super easy to find. He had fresh meats and baked pita fresh daily M-Saturday. We will be returning for sure

Great store for middle eastern groceries! The store is clean, owners are very friendly and welcoming, and they do indeed have the best pita bread in town! Would 100% recommend!

Great store with a wonderful selection. The owner is as helpful as people said and the garlic spread and homemade bread truly is that good! I'll be back many more times!

Fresh meat and vegetables. All organic, tastes better than all other food stores.
