What we carry

Three departments, one very good trip.

Everything is picked, baked and cut with the same standard: would we serve this to our own family?

Fresh Bakery

Naan baked in-house throughout the day — crispy edges, soft centres, and that unmistakable straight-from-the-tandoor smell the moment you walk in.

Halal Meat Counter

Proper cuts from proper parts — ground beef, lamb and poultry prepared fresh, not stretched with scraps. Ask our butcher for exactly what you need.

Imported Grocery

Aisles of Afghan, Persian & South Asian pantry staples — fine teas, raw honey, whole spices, rice, dried fruit and the brands you can't find anywhere else in the city.

Our story

A little shop with a big pantry.

Shaheen started as a small neighbourhood grocer with one goal: give Calgary's Afghan, Persian and South Asian community a place that feels like home. The storefront is unassuming — but step inside and you'll find shelves packed floor to ceiling with the specialty goods our customers grew up with, a bakery turning out fresh naan all day long, and a meat counter that treats every cut with care.

People regularly drive in from well outside the city just to stock up. We're working every day to make sure the welcome inside matches the quality on our shelves.
