Maihan Supermarket & Halal Meat is a Middle Eastern grocery at 403 Colombo Street in Sydenham, Christchurch. The website calls it the home of halal butchery, and it also has a bakery and grill. Shoppers mention goat meat and fresh meat most often, and naan bread comes up too. The shelves hold Middle Eastern sweets, biscuits, spices, nuts and condiments. The store is open seven days a week, and the car park is reached from the rear entrance on Wordsworth Street.
Views are mixed, and most of the complaints concern the meat counter. One regular waited around 20 minutes for a mixed meat order with naan, and found the naan had been cut in half to fill it. Another asked for lamb shank and saw the butcher go to the back to slice meat instead of packing it from the cabinet. Others praise the meat, and one reviewer said most reviews they had read were negative, which they agreed with.
The website is being reworked at the moment, and online orders may take five to seven working days. The store offers both in-store and online shopping, with nationwide shipping. Of the seven other supermarkets within a kilometre on Open Locally, the nearest are ISM Family Mart and Ken's Mart Asian Supermarket, both 0.2 km away.
