Mediterranean Grapes, Grain & Deli Offers Delectables and More
Article Published August 22, 2009, North Ottawa Weekly, MLive.com, Jeffery Cuningham/NOW
Grand Haven -- The new Mediterranean Grapes Grain & Deli is a bustling place. Customers, who say they already consider themselves regulars in the short time since it opened in mid-July, carry out such goods as imported beer, fresh falafels and picnic fare groceries.
Although the shop is primarily a store for adult beverages, to leave it at that would be a great understatement. It is more like walking into a European market, with meticulously stacked shelves that resonate with a collage of color and texture.
In addition to a vast selection of beers, wines and liquors from around the world, the store offers international goods found nowhere else in the area. There are nuts, cheeses, dried fruits, lentils, rices and Mediterranean candies like Turkish Delight. Products are from the countries of Jordan, Greece, Turkey and Italy, among others.
They include tinned luncheon meats and Moroccan sardines, canned goods like chick peas, lupine, broad and fava beans and baba ghanoush.
There are Canadian cookies, Italian oils and jars of chili olives. One can even find good old-fashioned Dutch rusk.

Who Wants Mediterranean!
.... "The food isn’t the only thing I appreciated. The owner Nabeel is extremely friendly and very customer oriented. He took our order at the deli counter and then brought our food out to us when it was ready, even though it was a fairly busy day. It is very clear that he cares not just about the food he serves but his customers’ experience in general. This is evident from the efforts he has taken to make the store more attractive. The deli is located right off of U.S. 31, a busy highway, but Nabeel has given his store some great curb appeal.
If you’re ever in Grand Haven I highly recommend stopping in at Grapes-Grain and Deli! You’ll get some amazing Mediterranean food (with a bottle of wine if you’d like – the store has a huge wine selection!) and you’ll be supporting a great local business!"
