What a supermarket looks like when it is not piled up with carbs, trans fats and colas. In fact it calls itself a food hall rather than a supermarket, which is probably right. The logo says taste the world but effectively the focus is the Levant. Phoenicia historically was around Lebanon. A magnificent array of olives sets the tone, to one side is what might look like a 7/11 stack of shelves but the choice has been carefully curated to the Medterrenean, to the far end there is a halal butchery, a rotisserie and a whole mezze of prepared salads that put a lot more designer led outlets to shame both in terms of quality and price. There is also a bakery producing fine baklava and Greek breads. It first opened in 2003 and is still in the same family with Ghassan Obeid at the head. The home of hard to find quality foods, he says. He has beeen picked up by Uber Eats and supplies full mezze for delivery.
