Key Highlights of the Gourmet Bazaar Experience
Authentic Kabob Mastery: At the core of our offerings is the art of the kabob. We meticulously select premium cuts of meat, marinate them using proprietary blends of herbs and spices, and grill them to perfection over open flames. This process ensures every skewer—whether it be tender lamb, savory chicken, or seasoned ground beef—retains maximum moisture and depth of flavor, delivering an unparalleled taste experience that defines traditional Middle Eastern grilling.
Fresh, House-Made Accompaniments: A great kabob deserves equally great sides. We emphasize freshness by preparing many of our staples in-house daily. This includes our creamy hummus, tangy baba ghanoush, vibrant tabbouleh, and the soft, pillowy pita bread that serves as the perfect vehicle for scooping up every last bit of flavor. These fresh components elevate the entire meal from good to extraordinary.
Diverse Menu Exploration: While kabobs are our signature, Gourmet Bazaar Kabob Deli offers a broad spectrum of Mediterranean delights. Patrons can explore flavorful vegetarian options, hearty stews, fresh salads, and signature deli sandwiches that showcase the versatility of our culinary expertise. This diversity ensures that whether you seek something light or substantial, familiar or adventurous, your culinary curiosity will be satisfied.
Commitment to Quality Ingredients: We believe that superior final products begin with superior sourcing. Our dedication extends to partnering with reliable suppliers to ensure that every vegetable, grain, and protein entering our kitchen meets our high standards for freshness and quality. This foundational commitment is what truly sets our deli apart in the competitive Rockville food scene.
Gourmet Bazaar Kabob Deli is more than just a place to eat; it is a celebration of culinary heritage served with modern efficiency and genuine hospitality. We invite you to visit us at 736-A Rockville Pike to experience the difference that passion, tradition, and quality ingredients make in every dish we serve. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite on your lunch break or sitting down to enjoy a leisurely meal, we look forward to welcoming you into our culinary bazaar and making your next meal a memorable one.

If I could give a 0 STAR REVIEW I WOULD. Called them beforehand and drove an hour to get a cheesesteak just for them to tell me the kitchen closed an hour before closing.I begged them but the lady at the counter was very rude and denied service.

This store is simply amazing. I can’t wait to go back. The customer service is excellent and surprisingly enough, they make a mean steak and cheese.

The store has almost everything you might be lookin for. However stay away from their food. Overpriced mediocre food that has given me a badly upset stomach once and a severe food poisoning another time. I have bought food there twice. You do the math.

Fantastic selection of products—fresh produce, breads, pantry staples, and home goods, alongside an excellent gourmet deli of fresh cooked Iranian dishes, sweets, and treats. The pricing is clear and very reasonable compared to other Middle Eastern markets in the area. My new go-to!

Very clean and modern looking store. Very nice selection of bread, fresh produce, spices, etc. The prepared food looked very good although we did not try any. Reminds me of a smaller, Mediterranean Whole Foods.
We did get the saffron ice cream, which was very unique but ultimately not my cup of tea. I'm happy to have tried it though. I would say many items felt to me on the pricier side, but also many items are hard to find elsewhere so they could be worth paying a bit extra for.

5 stars for 5 reasons
1. Pizza and the Philly cheesesteak are phenomenal! The pizza was made super fresh and quality ingredients! The cheese and sauce were yummy! The flavors were unexpected and very unique!
The Philly was definitely above average! Very simple but it packs a punch! Super tasty!
2. The workers are super nice and welcoming
3. The store is super clean and organized.
4. Some of the items in the store is expensive but a lot of the items here are imported
5. They have prepared fresh food bar. Saffron ice cream is yummy!

The Persian food here is decent but not top notch compared to other alternatives in the neighborhood, and it is overpriced. Be ready to see some orders wrong, but the owner alwsys make up by good customer service.

Its a 5 stars Persian market in the area by far! Staff are so friendly, polite and kind. The prices are good. They bake fresh bread (taftoon) in house. Hopefully they start their Barbary as well! Love the new place. Their carry out food is also very delicious, fancy, clean and worth 5 stars!

Pinsas are crispy, hot, and delicious, and they happened to be buy-one-get-one so we ended up with two! how did we get so lucky :)

This place is a gem. A really special European market, catering to mostly the balkans and middle east. The halva, jam, nuts, and cheese selection is almost overwhelming. The hot lunch counter is amazing (I had the tongue sandwich and loved it). If you cook the cuisine of anywhere between Greece and Afghanistan, come here every week.

I discovered Gourmet Bazaar through Instagram and decided to give it a try after seeing a couple of positive reviews and really appealing photos. Visually, the food looked amazing, so I was excited to try it.
Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the expectations. We had a very long wait for our order, even though it should have taken no more than about 20 minutes. When the food finally arrived, we were surprised to find that most of it was extremely bland. I tried the cheesesteak, pizza, and the chicken and beef combo plate — all of the items were cooked properly and looked great, but they were missing basic seasoning like salt and pepper. There was just no real flavor.
It was disappointing because the presentation and preparation showed potential, but the lack of seasoning and price point made the food fall flat. Based on this experience, I most likely won’t be returning.

By far the best kabob kubideh I have had the DC area. Quality of the food is exceptional, presentation is exceptional and owner/employees are so kind. I can’t wait for more!

They have almost everything you might need from Iran. The guy by the counter was such a friendly guy, and the bastani was very good to our surprise!
Kudos to Gourmet for fulfilling our need for a nice Persian market!

I love this place. You can find all kinds of imported items. They have a deli and bakery. The deli has Gormeh Sabzi etc. You can tell the meat they use for their kebabs and the chicken is organic. I wish they had tables to eat the hot dishes from the deli. You’ve got to take your hot food home to eat it. In any event, I’ll continue to frequent the store. It’s very clean, and organized.
