Besan's Market & Restaurant

One of the best Markets on Main Street of San Bruno. Exotic products, fresh meats and kind stuff.

High-quality, reasonably priced halal butcher — sourcing their product from all-natural, Amish farms. An excellent choice for the mindful cook, but not wanting to break the bank. On a recent visit, leg of lamb was expertly butterflied and cut into kebab pieces. The store is a well-packed source of spices, sauces, pickles, yoghurts and cheeses — anything you may want for a Middle Eastern or South Asian meal. Cheap metal bbq skewers in stock. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very nice variety of products, including Palestine Cola and many halal frozen food options. There is a halal meat market at the back of the store and a small taken away restaurant with a super friendly lady selling traditional syrian dishes.

Super friendly people working here. My brother bought me some Palestinian zaatar here a few weeks back that was phenomenal. I put it on everything. Today we decided to have shawarma at the restaurant and we were blown away. Pickled red cabbage on top of flavorful, perfectly cooked chicken shawarma, laid on a bed rice—which featured an excellent texture and teemed with saffron. The little side salad and hummus had generous sprinklings of sumac. Fresh and delicious. We will be back!!

This place is good for spices and other stuff. BUT never buy meat here. Meat looks old and smells. And just recently in July 2025 I got chicken drumsticks from there because I was already there to buy some spices the chicken also smelled bad when I got home. Not sure how they still operate. There aren't too many halal options in the area but Mideast Market just 3 min down the road is much better for meat (but they dont have as much of the groceries though)
