Al-Abbas

A short walk from Shepherd’s Bush tube, Al-Abbas is one of our favourite Middle Eastern stores in west London, and in fact stocks groceries from all corners of the globe, with Polish, African and Indian essentials, as well as rice, oils, breads and meat. The range of grains and pulses is astonishing and includes the hard-to-find freekeh and moth beans. Spice up your cooking with the jalapeños and other fresh chillies or speciality herbs such as methi. Teetotallers will appreciate exotic cordials of tamarind and mint and the crates of fresh falafel sitting by the till are hard to resist too.
