Great food, great people. I tried the Jordan snack, falafel, cake and  and lamb schwarma. I used to live really close and tried falafel there for the first time. I loved it!! Then I tried different falafel at other places but Valley of Jordan has the best!! They are cheap as well, around $4, and huge huge portion! The lamb schwarma is so large that if fills me for a whole day - and I'm a food person that can eat a lot! They are also nice people there. Jordan has given large boxes to help me moving. He has ALSO given me several kinds of food as gift, and has told me I to make them. I come back once in a while because I want to try every sandwich that Jordan makes. I absolutely feel that every sandwich there is quality garanteed and I love new and exotic food! Definitely recommend this to every food or friend person!
Review Source:I've been living in hyde park most of my life and down the street from this place since for the last 15 years. This has been the only business I see that will last. They have a large selection of  spices and just random things you would think you would see in a small store but usually when i need something they have it. The owner is awesome. Keep being awesome.
Review Source:I was in the neighborhood sometime ago and dropped by this store, thinking it was just a convenience mart. I was pleasantly surprised to see they have middle eastern food so I made a point to drop back by later on. I went by today for lunch and overall was disappointed. They didn't have any lamb schwarma available, which may have made a huge difference in my experience. (I love lamb) Instead I had the chicken schwarma, which wasn't nearly as savory as the ones from Nile on 55th. If I'm ever by there and have a chance to try the lamb I might change my mind, but in general I don't see myself making a plan to go back.
Review Source:I've been stopping by Valley of Jordan since they opened for hummus, baba ghanoush, dolma, and various convenience items. They are super friendly and the salads are great. I tried a deli sandwich for the first time tonight for a quick dinner before an evening class. Incredible! Best sandwich I've had in the neighborhood. Do yourself a favor and stop by to get a sandwich sometime.
Review Source:This place needs to be yelped more and more and more!!!
This store is kinda strange in that it is a minimart but it has smoothies, fresh sandwiches and desserts and a million other things. Since Hyde Park Produce is 3 blocks away, it is mind-boggling why they would still sell groceries ... But if you are hungry and need a good sandwich and dont want to wait or mind to have to walk to the park to eat, Valley of Jordan should be your place to drop by.
I ordered a lamb sharwarma today. Deliciousness!!! The portion is large and the seasoning is amazing. The meats here are also organic. I dont even know why you would go to Cedars if you know Valley of Jordan exists. My roommates ordered other types of sandwiches on the menu and really liked them.
The owners are very nice folks who are not pushy about you buying anything. The main owner even checked my hummus to see if  it is fresh before letting me leave.
This is the kind of neighborhood store that can build meaningful relationships with the people living close by!
I like!!!!
Love this place. Â Small minimart, but the real gem is the sandwich counter. Â Very cheap, very good sandwiches. Â Nice selection of halal lunch meat. Â The owner is a really nice guy. Â A bunch of us rented a storefront in the building for a weekend event in Hyde Park, and we were in and out all day when he was open. Â As a thank you, he brought us an enormous tray of hummus and pita. Â Good place to drop in and get ice cream or a parfait. Â
I hope we can come back next year!
This place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood! It's a no-frills mini-mart sort of thing, but they have a couple of standouts:
1. The sandwich counter: they have great sandwiches, including halal selections, and very inexpensive. Awesome.
2. The middle eastern specialty prepared foods: they have baba ganouj, hummus and stuffed grape leaves in the front counter and they are all SUPER cheap and delicious. Seriously-- you can get a package of 8 stuffed leaves for under $3.00.
3. Middle eastern desserts- I've tried a few of their different pastries from the front and they were all really good. (I'm too ignorant to know the names of anything besides baklava, but they were all tasty!)
There's potential here. As previous posters note, sometimes its hard to find the true gems in this store that tries a little too hard to cater to the American palate. Everything's there, you just have to know where to look and what to ask for. There's a Turkish coffee bar, veggie juice bar and a full service Lebanese deli in there but they don't jump out at you. The owner 'Jordan' is very friendly and accommodating. Ask for some bulk Turkish coffee, its not on the shelf but its worth searching out.
Review Source:Great store for halal meat and wonderful Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Gotta love canned stuffed grape leaves.
My one problem with Valley Of Jordan is that it's not a one stop shop. The produce selection (at least right now when it has just opened) would be generously described as minimal, and most of the foods are standard convenience store and CVS items. Eggs and milk are from factory farms, and the spice selection is pretty bare. I still have to go to Hyde Park Produce for the stuff I need. VoJ right now is really only good for a handful of thongs I want.
