Mediterranean Market

Mediterranean Market is a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern specialty grocery and halal kitchen in Westport at 1404 Westport Rd, Kansas City, MO 64111 — “a restaurant within a store” where customers shop for imported olive oils, olives, cheeses, spices, and Turkish pantry goods, then order doner wraps, shawarma, falafel, and baklava from the attached eatery.

Description

Mediterranean Market is a hybrid specialty grocery and halal kitchen at 1404 Westport Road in the Westport neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri.¹²³ Local description frames it as “a restaurant within a store” — a compact Westport storefront where shoppers can buy imported pantry goods (olive oils, olives, cheeses, spices, lamb) and also order prepared food from an attached eatery counter.²⁴

The market side curates Mediterranean, Greek, Middle Eastern, and Turkish products and imports.¹² The kitchen serves halal Mediterranean/Middle Eastern fare with vegetarian options: chicken shawarma sandwiches, falafel and hummus, tabouli, Greek salad, dolmas with pita, and a signature doner wrap (seasoned beef cooked on a vertical rotisserie, thinly sliced, served in a wrap).²⁴ Turkish specialties round out the menu, including the dessert sekerpare, Turkish coffee, meat pies, and several styles of baklava (pistachio, walnut, cheese).⁴³ The business advertises halal sourcing and offers online ordering for carryout and delivery.¹²

Posted hours are Monday–Wednesday 11 a.m.–7 p.m., Thursday–Saturday 11 a.m.–8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.–7 p.m.² Phone: (816) 381-6000.¹²

Ownership and history

Mediterranean Market is an independent, owner-operated Kansas City business — not part of any out-of-town chain.¹²³ Beyond that, the ownership record is thin in public sources: the proprietor’s name and family background are not documented on the official sites, in local press, or on the review/ordering platforms reviewed here.

The business presents itself with a clear cultural identity. Its Instagram operates as “Mediterranean Market & Halal Kitchen | Westport KC,” and the inventory and menu lean notably Turkish (doner, sekerpare, Turkish coffee) alongside broader Levantine/Middle Eastern items.⁵⁴ This points to Turkish or Middle Eastern immigrant ownership, but no source reviewed states the owner’s heritage outright.

A founding year could not be confirmed. The business has an established Westport presence with a mature review history on Yelp and Tripadvisor, indicating it has operated for several years, but no source reviewed gives an opening date.
