I stopped by to bust Nathalie at Malkia & Co. that served authentic đšđ© Congolese Cuisine. The chicken was amazing with rice and beans đ« The chocolate mousse was very good. everything was good đđŸ I would highly recommend. There's other business inside to patronize, so check it out. The ginger đ« drink was some of the best that I've had. Be careful of the hot sauce. It's seriously hot đ„
Love it. They also have a souvenir area
I don't think there's anything about this place I don't like.
It's local community ran, great food/drinks, shopping, games, rec rooms and a bar.
The director in the front was very friendly & explained the concept of the place. I love the idea but some of the vendors were really overpriced $25+ for food. For that price you might as well go to a sit-down restaurant.
The West Side Bazaar is hands down one of Buffaloâs most unique and vibrant spots. Itâs not just a food courtâitâs a cultural experience. The moment you walk in, youâre greeted with the smells of spices and sizzling dishes from all over the world. Iâve tried East African sambusas, Burmese noodles, and Caribbean jerk chickenâall in one visitâand every bite was full of flavor and love.
Each vendor is incredibly friendly and eager to share their story. Itâs inspiring to see so many immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs building something from the ground up. You can tell that this place is about more than just foodâitâs about opportunity and community.
The building itself is really cool too. Itâs a refurbished space with an open layout, colorful decor, and communal seating that makes it easy to relax and soak in the atmosphere. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and everything feels made from scratch.
If youâre in Buffalo and want something realâauthentic food, welcoming people, and a feel-good missionâyouâve got to check this place out. Itâs become one of my favorite go-to lunch spots. Highly recommend!
Aamzing bazaar with a great selection of locally owned ethnic restaurants under one roof! Amazing concept and they really delivered!
Amazing experience here. Great selection of AUTHENTIC international delights and dishes. You walk into a fun open food court type space surrounded by ethnic restaurants with homemade authentic items. Great variety of food items ranging from snacks, desserts, appetizers to main courses and combo meals. It supports small, local business and allows you to try a variety of international treats. Parking lot across the street with at will donations and street parking. Easily accessible and also offers some ethnic clothes shopping from a few vendors. Highly recommended and very tasty food items. Cash and credit card accepted.
Egyptian Bites was absolutely amazing!! Definitely coming back.

I recently stopped into the West Side Bazaar for the first time since they moved, and WOW! The new layout is absolutely fantasticâso spacious, welcoming, and convenient. Itâs the perfect spot for a delicious lunch thatâs a far cry from the usual "fast food" options. I had the Falafel Wrap from Egyptian Bites, and it was out of this worldâperfectly scratch-made, incredibly flavorful, and so filling! The service was top-notch, and Mohammed was such a gemâhe truly exemplifies Egyptian hospitality. What a kind and friendly guy! Definitely a spot Iâll be returning to again and again. Highly recommend!

I love all of the restaurants and owners here, especially the cookie jar 716 and they had the most life changing peanut butter cookie. They have many different nationalities of foods in the same place so you can try foods from many different countries and areas. But yall should go to the cookie jar bc they had sweet tea and fried green tomatoes ? I would honestly eat every meal from here for the rest of my life if I could

This was a meal and an experience. Let me comment on my stars. The atmosphere is only due to the fact that this is a former industrial building, so it is a little noisy and distracting. We had one minor service issue that was quickly corrected.
The food was incredible. Best jerk chicken I have ever had. The ability to mix and share the food of different cultures was the best experience for curious palates. Loved it all!

If you haven't been to the New West Side Bazaar, I definitely recommend you go. The food is still delicious, but the new building is terrific and excellent service. We went one evening for dinner and sampled a few things from the different restaurants. Then we went again for a Birthday celebration. You can reserve the upstairs room. They did a great job catering the party and service was very friendly. It's also a great place to bring the family
