“ Great prices and service. I'm glad we have them in the neighborhood. I love the white fish and nova( like being in NY) ”
“ Wonderful and important resource for kosher foods in the Bay Area . Don't forget to stop R the sandwich / felafel bar ! ”
“ Very interesting market with salad bar and middle eastern sandwiches and bowls. Ordered a falafel sandwich to go and really enjoyed it. Was sad I didn't have a second sandwich. I liked how there are four different choices of sides plus the hummus and falafel and it's all layered top down with sesame sauce on top. This created a different experience as you ate down the sandwich. The service was also great but a little slower than anticipated. ”
“ Amazing place for foods that take me back, and "exotic" food from the Middle East. The staff is friendly and courteous! ”
“ This kosher establishment is the only all-kosher grocery in the Bay Area and we are lucky to have it here! Not only is it a convenient source of kosher chicken and beef, but has an excellent assortment of kosher dairy and frozen products as well as baked goods and fresh-baked challah. The addition of ABBAs Hummus bar and deli in recent years expanded its offerings so that you can now have lunch at an outdoor dining area or take it out for a picnic. On Fridays they have a robust assortment freshly prepared meals. You can also special-order many of these by calling. My main complaint is the cost, although that's not that unusual for quality kosher food. It would also be nice if they'd open for dinner at least one night a week. ”
“ Oakland Kosher has always been #1 and will always stay that way- Great service, delicious and authentic middle eastern food and satisfying quantity. Always the best and only kosher store to visit when we're back in town, always greeted with a smile and good time. We had hummus, falafel, hamburger, pita and fries, reminds us of home every time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ”
“ We had Oakland Kosher cater our family event for 150 people. WOW! Not only were they super easy to work with, but their food was absolutely incredible. We had compliments from our friends and family all month! If you aren't familiar with their food, you can get lunch at Abba's Hummus, which is a part of their shop. Same food! We will have leftovers in our freezer for months. This was by far the best option for our budget. They delivered on time, the platters were decorated beautifully. All around perfection. We ordered for 150 people: 1. Fruit platters 2. Hummus 3. Baba Ganoush 4. Falafel 5. Pita 6. Kebabs 7. Chicken Schwarma 8. Beets 9. Moroccan Carrots ”
