Our Story

Market Fresh. Restaurant Quality.

Middle East Market began in 1974 as one of Northern California’s pioneering Persian markets. For Hossein, a longtime customer after immigrating from Iran, it became the foundation of a dream he would one day share with his son, Amir — to create a place centered on authentic food, culture, and community.
