I have been visiting Oasis for about 10 years and have to say it has been so gratifying to see the business flourish from a modest warehouse like business into an amazing, well laid out and enormous casual eatery, grocery store and cooking school.
I snigger with some disbelief when I pass the miserly herb and spice section of the big supermarkets. Oasis has every spice and herb you could ever need, frequently restocked, generous tub sizes and exceptionally well priced. I usually shop there for grains, cereals and seeds like quinoa, cous cous, amaranth, chickpeas, nuts, spices, middle eastern groceries like amazing fresh falafels (Bite Me brand), pastries, dips and fab cheeses. I usually leave with way way more than I had intended because it all just looks and tastes so good... gourmet ice creams, flat breads, Persian fairy floss (you haven't lived until you've eaten it!), pantry staples, imported groceries, cook books, cooking utensils...
It's hard to get past the hot prepared meals which never disappoint and don't even get me started on the excellent coffee and shawarma (chicken or lamb)... it's the take away you have when you don't want to feel regret afterwards! Love this place!

Approximate cost: $10

This place is my new Prahran Market. I used to go to the Essential Ingredient for all of my speciality cooking ingredients but Oasis have a much larger range at a much more reasonable price. Also love the home made food in the cafe. Definitely check this place out if you're a foodie

An Aladin's cave of Middle Eastern treats! I love this place and am telling everyone I know about it. it has an amazing range of products from the Middle East and other parts of Europe. There is a cafe/bakery where you can sample some their delights without waiting to go home. Very decadent and dangerous for both the waistline and wallet - not because it's expensive but because the products are irresistible! Love it - worth the drive from Eastern suburbs!!

Shop here quite often and it does get really busy especially on weekends. Have always been happy with their service and products. Definitely recommend to try if you're in the area.

Oasis Bakery combines casual dining/takeaway with a mainly Middle Eastern sourced supermarket. The cafe menu, which includes breakfasts, is generally Lebanese and includes seasonal dishes (from $10 - $18) along with snack style items such as kebbeh and haloumi pies (around $5) that are also stocked frozen in the supermarket. You order and pay off a fast food style wall menu then collect your items and eat them at one of nearby tables. The atmosphere is busy but you can generally find a table even at weekends as turnaround is quick. Biggest bargain meal is the felafel wrap ($6) which can be upgraded to include a soft drink and a bucket of really delicious chips for an extra $3.50. "Sharkwama" wraps, with a ridiculous amount of meat are popular with the young dudes, but there are plenty of much healthier options including soups and salads too. The supermarket carries the hard to get Linda McCartney range of vegetarian pies etc, and an extensive range of salads, dips and dry goods under the Oasis label. There is an extensive range of Levantine cakes and desserts as well as beautiful macarons (not baked on the premises but still the best I have had in Melbourne) in luscious colours and flavours (Turkish Delight and Belgian Chocolate are my favourites $2.80 each, $14.95 for six - special gifts boxes a couple of dollars extra). The house pita is also a great buy - $1 for a pack in either wholemeal or white (get in early on weekends). A visit to Oasis can be an expensive proposition as there is a great temptation to try all the interesting new things as well as stocking up in the supermarket with everything from Israeli Tofutti (non dairy "ice cream") to frozen Russian piroshki. For the budget conscious, though, there are some great value options that will have you coming back regularly.

Good food, received fairly quickly, staff were very friendly especially on the floor. Highlight was definetly getting lost in the amazing grocery section with ingredients I would have never known existed.

Approximate cost: $13

Been meaning to come here after reading their reviews on WOMO. I didn't end up eating at the cafe but just bought some Baklava and other sweets.

The place was a lot bigger than what I was expecting. They're a bakery as well as a Middle Eastern grocery store.

I can't really comment on the service - I already came in with a game plan. My friend's been raving on about their baklava as "one of the best in Melbourne". This was my first time trying Baklava and it was absolutely divine, though very sweet. I could probably only have 2 diamond baklava pieces.
Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try some of their other sweets.

Approximate cost: $15 for a sweet pack

Good bakery alternative for weekend brunches. Cannot be compared to local Sydney road middle eastern bakeries. Quality of food is also not as good as in the bakeries on Syd road. Customer service is definitely not the best, however it is understandable considering the traffic that goes through this bakery. The supermarket part has a huge variety of middle eastern food which is generally more expensive then smaller supermarkets of the same kind.

Approximate cost: $15

I remember when this was a dingy little supermarket/take away shop. That was only years ago. It has now boomed into a thriving Lebanese dining room and supermarket. I just love going here for quality Middle Eastern food and for some of my weekly shop. They have such an array of spices and breads - it's heaven. The shawama is my all time favourite - better than any gyros or souvlaki i have ever had :)

Approximate cost: $5-15

Overall the selection of Middle Eastern goodies here is fantastic, the food is also really nice but have to admit customer service is somewhat lacking for me, they are usually to busy to bother with assistance.
