Area

Hackney Central

Akdeniz Supermarket is a Turkish grocery store on Well Street in Hackney, a short walk from Homerton and close to Victoria Park. It opens from 7am until midnight every day, so it’s a useful local shop for both everyday basics and Turkish ingredients.

As a Turkish supermarket, it’s the place for breakfast staples like white cheese, olives and sucuk, along with bread, pulses, bulgur, spices, tea and Turkish sweets. We haven’t been able to check its full range, so stock may vary.

It’s best for stocking up for a Turkish breakfast at home or finding ingredients that general supermarkets don’t carry.

What to order at Akdeniz Supermarket

We haven’t been able to check this shop’s full range, so treat this as a guide to the staples to look for in a Turkish grocer:

• Beyaz peynir – salty white cheese for breakfast or börek fillings
• Zeytin – black and green olives
• Sucuk – spicy Turkish beef sausage
• Bulgur – cracked wheat for pilav and kısır
• Lokum and baklava – Turkish delight and syrupy pastries for a sweet treat

Atmosphere and good to know

This is a shop rather than a café, so it’s for buying, not sitting down. Halal status of meat products isn’t stated, so check labels or ask staff. Long opening hours make it handy for early mornings and late evenings.

Well Street has a good mix of cafés and restaurants if you want to eat while you’re in the area.

Akdeniz Supermarket opening hours

Open daily: 07:00–00:00. Hours can change on bank holidays, so check with the shop before you travel.
