Abu Bakar Supermarket

i hope people learn that abu bakar is the largest shithole on earth as i discovered today i have learnt this as i had mistaken myself and said "excuse me brother i think you have given me the wrong change" then the ass on the till made a fool out of for making a basic mistake as he laughed with a co-worker and said "brother are you crazy of course i have give you the correct change"the pain up the arse was this tough i asked for 2kg not 2.1kg and i got charged for this i recommend makkah foods just down the road for. i hope abu bakar die for this as i was a loyal  customer but not now after this event makkah foods all the way

Abu Bakar is without doubt my favourite supermarket in Leeds. One of the two reasons for this is the fact they sell tomato flavoured Snaps crisps, but I'm aware this is somewhat frivolous!

However the real draw is the great range of products and fantastic prices. They have (as the name would suggest) a fantastic range of spices and other such delights, plus a variety of beans, grains and pulses that boggles the mind. But their stock also covers a range of international delicacies, so Thai ingredients, Baklava and Soy sauce sit alongside an arrays of Naans and Rotis.

The fresh fruit and veg is very well priced (£1 for 5 fresh, ripe figs yesterday) and the staff are always friendly and helpful. They also have a butchers counter at the back with very well priced chicken, plus various marinated cuts of lamb that make me yearn for barbecue weather.

Whenever I do venture to Sainsburys and the like I often look up at Jamie Oliver's face bearing down on me and yearn for Abu Bakar.

Slap bang in the middle of Hyde Park, this Abu Bakar is worth the trek through the labrynthian, student lined streets, on account of its super friendly staff and awesome range of international produce. My mum's sent me a mammoth shopping list of middle eastern ingredients as she lives out in the sticks and they don't sell persian rose water in the co-op for some reason, so I've been on a bit of a treasure hunt this week, culminating in a successful trip to Abu Bakar, where I pointed at words I didn't know like a numpty while a chipper yound lad showed me where the corresponding things were.

Will be coming back here as it's my new best : )
