3.0 of 5 stars. This store does not belong on Clement, but glad it's there right by my place so I can get those Dutch/Indonesian goodies I need. Will try the deli next time...

3.0 of 5 stars. A great spot for random ingredient impulse purchases. Sambal oelek? Check. Sumac? Rose water? Dutch strawberry sprinkles? Carraway seed? Good times, but be sure to check the dates on the packaging…

5.0 of 5 stars. There's more here than Middle Eastern and Turkish food. The bagged spices are well worth browsing, and the deli and coffee shop are popular. A few items on these shelves can be found elsewhere, but…

5.0 of 5 stars. I've never eaten there, only bought spices or nuts or candy or coffee. It's an awesome place, you can get stuff you can't find anywhere else, and they are so nice and it atmosphere is kinda mysterious.…

4.0 of 5 stars. SF Food Inspection Score: 98 Has everything you need for an authentic Indian meal, dessert, or drinks. Imported items from all over the world and more than decent food made at their deli.

4.0 of 5 stars. Haig's is fantastic. I get a sandwich at least once a week. My favorite time is wandering the aisles and viewing the assorted goods before my tasty Turkey & Provalone on Dutch Crunch is done.
