Neighborhood Market اسواق الجيران on East 12th Street is where Sioux Falls goes when a recipe actually requires the right ingredient — not a substitute, not an approximation.
They stock imported Middle Eastern and international groceries that most local stores never bother carrying: specialty spices sourced from the right regions, halal meats, Arabic pantry staples, fresh produce, and prepared foods from Levantine, North African, and Mediterranean traditions. If you're shopping for za'atar, sumac, dried limes, or a specific brand of tahini your family uses back home, this is where you find it without explaining what it is.
Locals pick this market because it gets the details right. The inventory reflects real cooking traditions, not a curated "international aisle" with two shelves of novelty. For immigrant families, international students, and curious home cooks who take their food seriously, Neighborhood Market delivers specificity that a generic grocery store simply won't.
