Turkish Grocery Delivery in Aberdeen

Can you actually get proper Turkish groceries in Aberdeen without a long drive south? That is the question we hear most from households in the AB postcode area, and the answer is yes: we are an online-only Turkish and Mediterranean supermarket that ships the full pantry to your door by courier, so the sucuk, the beyaz peynir and the sack of bulgur arrive together in one box.

What Aberdeen households usually put in the basket

Aberdeen, a city in Aberdeen City with a population of 224,021, sits a long way from the Turkish food shops clustered in London, so orders here tend to be full weekly shops rather than one or two treats. The halal butcher counter is normally the starting point: minced lamb for köfte, diced beef for casseroles, marinated chicken shish and whole poussin. Alongside it, the salami, pepperoni and sausages section brings fermented sucuk, sliced pastırma and pepperoni for quick weeknight eggs.

Dairy is the next habit. White cheese in brine, mature kaşar, thick strained yoghurt, kaymak and ayran travel chilled and cover breakfast for the week. From the bakery range people add pide, lavash, simit and sesame rings; from fruit and vegetables come flat parsley, long green peppers, aubergines and lemons. Legumes are the quiet workhorse of the order: green lentils, chickpeas, coarse and fine bulgur, haricot beans and rice for pilaf. Baklava, Turkish delight and halva finish the basket, and the frozen section adds börek sheets, mantı and lahmacun for evenings when nobody wants to cook.

Delivery into the AB postcode area

Every order to Aberdeen travels with DHL Express and normally arrives within 1-2 business days of dispatch. Orders of £60 or more are delivered free to London and mainland UK; below that a flat £5.99 rate applies. Anything placed before 12:00 Monday to Friday is typically dispatched the same day, and a DHL tracking number is emailed to you as soon as the box leaves us, so you can watch it move north rather than guess.

Getting the most out of one box

Chilled goods are packed with ice-gel packs and insulation, so unpack cheese, yoghurt and fresh meat first and refrigerate or freeze them straight away. If your basket is close to £60, it is worth adding the dry staples you will need anyway, tea, olive oil, bulgur, tinned tomatoes, rather than paying the flat rate for a smaller box. Ordering on a weekday morning gives the smoothest run, and unopened non-perishable items can be returned, while perishable and chilled goods cannot.
