About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor noticed an unusual scent wafting from the alley behind Sahar International Market. Curious, she followed it around the corner and found a stack of boxes being carried out by a delivery driver. As she approached, he stopped abruptly, glanced over his shoulder, and whispered something inaudible before hurrying away. Curiously, she peered inside one box and found nothing but a bag of onions and some bananas. Shaking her head with a smile, she decided not to mention anything, thinking maybe it was just another funny local story. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about strange happenings near Sahar International Market, she’d wink and say, ‘Oh, you must’ve missed the banana delivery!’
2. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Sahar International Market. As he unloaded crates from his truck, his dog suddenly began barking frantically, pointing towards the entrance. The driver looked around curiously but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Just then, an old man in a traditional dress emerged from inside, waving cheerfully and calling out, ‘Welcome, welcome! Need some spices for your Sunday cooking?’ The driver scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and said, ‘I guess my dog was just missing home.’ And so began their weekly ritual—every Sunday, the same delivery guy, the same barking dog, and the friendly old man with an endless supply of exotic herbs.
3. While browsing through the aisles, a regular picked up a can of chickpeas and found something odd inside—a tiny note reading: ‘Don’t forget to make hummus!’ Curious, he checked other cans—each had similar notes: one said ‘Add salt,’ another ‘Roast for 45 minutes.’ By the time he reached the checkout, the cashier laughed and explained it was a prank from a delivery driver who loved hummus. The regular went home with his grocery haul and a new recipe for the best hummus in town.
4. While checking out, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Do you sell magic beans here?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘No, sir, just magical spices.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Actually, I saw them selling lucky charms last week!’ Everyone laughed as they left, thinking maybe it was time for some good fortune.
