Meriden, Connecticut
From hand-ground ras el hanout to house-made khobz, we stock the ingredients that turn a Tuesday dinner into a celebration. Over 200 items from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and beyond — all under one roof on East Main Street.
What We Carry
Every aisle is stocked with the ingredients home cooks and curious cooks rely on — imported directly, rotated weekly, and priced so you can cook for a crowd without second-guessing the bill.
Ras el hanout, baharat, smen, cumin, saffron threads, and house-ground mixes — available loose or pre-packed.
Khobz, msemen, baghrir, and pastries made fresh daily. Stop by in the morning for bread that still carries the warmth of the oven.
Argan oil, Tunisian olive oil, preserved lemons, harissa, dates, and canned staples for tagines and pastillas.
Gunpowder green tea, premium mint, hibiscus, and instant horchata — everything for the pour and the pour-back.
Hummus, bissara, fatoush, and seasonal specials — grab a container for a quick lunch or a dinner-side that impresses.
Couscous varieties, freekeh, lentils, semolina, and seasonal arrivals tied to Ramadan, Eid, and Maghreb harvests.
Why Locals Choose Us
Our Story
Moroccan World Shop started with a simple observation: Meriden had great neighbors who wanted to cook with ingredients that actually tasted like the ones their families used back home — and nowhere nearby carried them.
So we opened the doors on East Main Street and filled the shelves the way we'd want our own kitchen stocked. Every jar, every sack, every loaf is chosen the same way — would we use it on a weeknight? Would we serve it to guests? If the answer is no, it doesn't make the shelf.
Today we serve a community that spans Connecticut and beyond, and we're just as particular about what comes through the door as we were on day one.
