Green House Bazaar, 5100 10th Avenue North, Greenacres, FL – A Hidden Gem Found!

When a Middle Eastern grocery store opened in our hometown
of Boynton Beach a few years ago, Doug and I couldn’t have been
more pleased. We were able to purchase the  must-have Armenian ingredients in order to
make our cherished family recipes. The store’s owner, ‘Ken’ had a meat counter,
some fresh produce, frozen items, housewares – you name it. He was even planning
to have a bakery oven installed for daily-baked pitas, and eventually, a
kitchen for freshly prepared food.  Sadly,
things didn’t turn out as Ken expected and the business came and went after a
short two-year run.

Doug and I swung by one afternoon to check it out. We were
delighted to find lavash, basturma, paklava, and a myriad of ingredients that
would be useful in The Armenian Kitchen. They were, however, lacking in products
imported from Armenia (we found only one) and items such as prepared lahmajoun
and Armenian string cheese.

While there, we decided to buy two kebab meals-to-go for
dinner that night, and are we glad we did! 
We chose the combo platter with chicken kebab and beef lule kebab, and
the second with salmon kebab. Both meals contained salad, rice – white, or
green rice, which was studded with fava beans and lots of dill (we got one of
each), grilled tomatoes and red peppers, a piece of freshly made lavash, and a side of a
garlic-dill sauce. The salads and veggies were particularly fresh –as the
produce stand is just steps away from the kitchen!
