Aria Market

Probably the best and cheapest grocers in a 3 mile radius. A stone throws away from the whole foods, and what a godsend. Bought oranges, apples, garlic and onions for 7 CAD. You wont find everything you want here, but for fresh produce this place is top notch.

One of the highest quality Persian grocery stores. They carry everything you could think of Persian cuisine and some more. It’s a busy store but they have four cashiers so you won’t get stuck in the line up for too long.

To me, it's the best Iranian supermarket in Vancouver. It has fresh, high-quality products. Everyone who works there is very friendly, and the interesting part is that you can find some fresh food with a future expiration date, but sometimes they will advise you not to buy it because on that specific day, the food may not be as good as expected! I highly recommend this place to everyone👌🏼

One of the best Persian grocery in downtown.
They have most popular Persian grocery things.
Always they have fresh bread, and different kind of fruit.The walnuts there is so tasty and fresh, their different meat, chicken and ground beef are fresh and its taste is completely different from other beef from other groceries like Safeway or IGA.
The owner is really kind woman and generous. Whenever I ask about products she even explains about the recipes of that food I want to make. She also has really beautiful eyes ☺.

Highly recommended, check it out 😉

We walk 30 minutes to shop at Aria. There just isn’t another place in town (at least, in the downtown area) like this. They carry the local Himalaya yogurt which, being a Bulgarian, is the only yogurt in Canada I can tolerate :) Also, the one and only Bulgarian feta and kashkaval cheeses. Their selection of olives, nuts, spices, halal meats, breads etc. is wonderful, and the prices of fresh produce and herbs are unbeatable. If I had to shop in only one store in town, Aria would be it.

Great selection of produce, dried herbs and spices, etc at great prices. Love this place.

I love this market. They have all of the best of Persian foods and all other fruits and vegetables. Always clean, always great quality and the best staff. This market is in a different league compared to its competitors. Me and my family travel from white rock to go here and get our favorite Iranian ingredients.

I usually buy fruit, vegetable, bread and meat from this grocery shop. Their products are fresh and it is my best place to buy Persian bread.

Aria is one of the best grocery stores in downtown for sure. They offer really competitive prices for fruits and produce.

Good place to find produces and herbs. There is an excellent selection of goods from Middle East. The beef and lamb meat are also good.

I'm a great fan of the fresh produce Aria offers at reasonable prices as well as other Mediterranean products

Best place to buy Persian food. They have almost everything for you to cook a Persian dish

Good place to buy produce, fresh and reasonably priced.

Great prices for fruit and vegetables always nice and fresh

Best little market in Vancouver. Very diverse selection. Nice staff.

I go to this place at least once a month.
The fruits and veggies are usually super fresh.
Plus, the prices are a bit cheaper than other stores nearby.
The folks who work there are always nice and friendly.

Favorite veggie market in the neighborhood! Have been going here for years and now they expanded and have even more variety. Produce is usually fresh, prices are convenient, the cashiers are very friendly. They offer a lot of unique baked and frozen products.

Leafy leaves! This place is great. A wee grocery oasis in the west end. Unique products, a spice wall worth envying, very reasonably priced produce and nice staff. Go there. Buy some things.

This Persian food market is a true gem for the Iranian and Persian community in downtown. While there are occasional instances when they run out of stock, having this store is incredibly valuable. It brings a taste of home and nostalgia, providing access to authentic Persian ingredients and products that might be hard to find elsewhere. Despite the occasional stock shortages, it's a place where we can find familiar flavors and reconnect with our cultural heritage. I'm grateful for this market and the sense of belonging it brings to our community in downtown.

Lovely and helpful staff and fresh and high quality products
