Sizar's Food Mart is moving to Elkridge!

Sizar's Food Mart -- the Middle Eastern grocery in Howard County -- is moving from Columbia to Elkridge in early 2009 -- after missing the original dates of late November or early December 2008.  The business will re-open as Ceazar International Market and Restaurant and offer the current retail groceries plus a new halal restaurant.  

Definitely check out Sizar's for Greek and Middle Eastern items like yogurt, breads, spices, and olives.  Currently, there is a Ramadan special on dates -- $6 a pound for regular and $8 a pound for spectacular jumbo ones.  They're better than candy.  But if you have to buy candy (and I do), try the pistachio nougat at the high end ($9 for 12 ounces) or the Turkish Coco Star candy bar at the low (39 cents for a bite-sized bar at the check-out).
