I found some at Wegman’s off of Wisconsin! It’s “New York Shuk Spice Blend” brand, and, per their app, in aisle 12A.

Don’t know if they still do, but Shouk sells it, at least the Chinatown location does.

That Sudanese grocery store in Adams Morgan, Khartoum grocery and Halal store. It's by the vet clinic. They have a ton of Indian and middle eastern spices, sauces, lentils and grains. It's so awesome

I've bought it at larger Safeway and Giant stores, ones with large spice sections.

I travel to Jordan 2 times a year. If you ever need me to bring back a big bag, just DMV me. I'm partial to the Palestinian blend and the spice store I go to has at least 12 different mixtures of it

Seen it at Whole Foods, esp. the full size ones. You could probably just make it yourself as well.

Harris Teeter in Admo definitely has it. There’s also the Sudanese market Khartoum in the same neighborhood.

Gotten it at Whole Foods on P but I always have a hard time finding it among the spices

For most spices/herbs (and fresh produce as well) I would definitely check out one of the many ethnic markets instead of any of the larger chains. Prices are cheaper, selection is broader, and stock turnover is higher so products are often fresher. H Mart (Merrifield) and Good Fortune (Falls Church) are two of my favorites.

  • Yes Organic (bulk spices at each location vary);
  • the Spice Suite (Takoma),
  • Khartoum Halal Bakkal (Adams Morgan) (lots of imports here!!)

find a halal market - you’ll pay tons less and not be supporting AmazonWholeFoodles

Take this person up on their zaatar! That’s a good place to get and the wild thyme zaatar is the best! I think Yellow also sells it? Not sure if they still do but I think at one point they did. If you have a car hit up the Mediterranean Bakery in Alexandria.

Odd Provisions in Columbia Heights has good ones

Whole Foods, Yes Organic, Streets, Tea & Spice Exchange in Old Town, and possibly Souk in Capitol Hill (on Barracks Row) have it.

I’ve bought it at the Noma Trader Joe’s so it might depend on which store you’re at

Z&Z, yellow cafe also sells their Za'atar.

Tatte bakeries should have some in their market section. There are 5-6 throughout the DMV.

Look wherever there are bulk spices on sale. I have zatar from yes organics bulk spices section. Prob best spot in DC for this, or Mom's. Caribbean Crescent would've been but they moved to MD.

All prepackaged spices in bottles are criminally expensive, and I've not seen zaatar in the mini plastic bags.

If you make it to Alexandria, Spice & Tea Exchange usually has it.

Za'atar and Canned/Minced Garlic are the two things that are horribly misplaced/hidden at my Giant. Giant (at least some stores) does carry it.

There’s a Turkish cafe on Wisconsin Ave in Georgetown and the second floor is a Turkish and Arab (levent) food market. They’ve got all the good stuff, Janti Cafe

MyKidsArentOnReddit t1_j277rsk wrote

It's in Rockville, but Moti's market carries a lot of Israeli products including zatar and several other middle eastern spice blends. They also have Hawaj if you're into that. If you're not into that, I recommend you try it out because it's a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

I’m looking at za’atar from Trader Joe’s in my cabinet right now. I think it might’ve just been out of stock when you went

I have some I bought at a Safeway in the last ~year or so? It's not the normal size of a spice jar -- it's a short one, and was located on a shelf that only had other small spice jars.

It's one of the standard brands they carry (Morton & Basset)

starkingremnant t1_j29k7x3 wrote

Whole Foods, Streets, Trader Joe's, Yes! Organic ... I think I've seen it at CVS even. I've never not been able to find it. But I don't go to Safeway or Giant very often.

Try Z and Z brothers. Sometimes whole foods carry them, since they are local.

I (shockingly) got some at the Safeway on 5th and L.

Second the rec for Z + Z, another great local company with a lovely za’atar is Shafa. They have a physical store in Maryland but also have an online store.
