Exquisite Butchery Selections

At the heart of Al Quds lies its meticulously crafted butcher department, nestled within the deli area. Here, customers can relish freshly cut lamb, beef, and goat meat tailored to their specific needs.

Gourmet Plates That Delight

Savor signature rice plates priced affordably at $10.99, each accompanied by a side salad. Titles like The Sultan’s Feast (featuring succulent lamb), Kebab Kingdom (with tender beef kofta), and Green Delight (falafel bites drizzled with tahini sauce) highlight the rich heritage behind these dishes. Beyond these hearty options, diners will find burgers, tuna and chicken salads, as well as refreshing salad bowls—all complemented by select Italian items for cross-cultural appeal.

This thoughtful fusion of cuisines allows visitors to explore different gastronomic worlds while staying true to authentic recipes passed down through generations. Every bite tells a story rooted in tradition yet adapted to modern tastes.

Dairy, Bakery, and More

Beyond proteins, Al Quds excels in providing essential dairy products such as yogurts, feta cheeses, and other specialty varieties. Beverages ranging from juices to mastic gum—a historical treat dating back to Greek times—add layers of intrigue to the shopping experience. This ancient gum, known for its pine-like flavor, serves dual purposes as both a breath freshener and seasoning agent, linking past traditions with contemporary uses.

In the bakery section, pita bread takes center stage alongside locally sourced Italian loaves originating from Brooklyn and Staten Island bakeries. Fresh produce lines the aisles, inviting shoppers to pick up crisp lettuces, cucumbers, and other staples necessary for crafting delicious Middle Eastern breakfasts. Pairing pita with lebna (strained yogurt cheese) and za'atar sprinkled hummus creates an irresistible start to any day.

Nestled in what was once Julian’s Market and previously a taqueria, Al Quds now occupies a thriving commercial hub teeming with life. Surrounded by establishments like Fun Station USA, Maynila Filipino food store, Ti Amo Pizzeria, and many others, it contributes significantly to the area's dynamic food scene. Nearby businesses include GlamOur Nails, Who’s Next? barber shop, and We Rock the Spectrum Kids Gym, among several more, fostering a vibrant atmosphere where families and individuals alike feel welcome.
