I am a trapper here in Florida and the first time I heard about this place I was intrigued. Only because my father has been dealing with animals almost for 50 years now and when I heard he finally found a place to sell the wildlife he traps to a "reputable" company and not have to worry so much about the meat going to waste, people stealing or damaging his live traps, etc. But then I was wrong. Anshu is a thief and liar. WARNING TO OTHER TRAPPERS AND MEAT SUPPLIERS: HE DOES NOT PAY HIS BILLS. HES OWED MY FATHER MONEY FOR MONTHS NOW And I just heard hes even cussed my Dad out and threatened him. He doesnt care about the small business owners. I guess thats why hes so tight on money, because he has it He sell a the meat for 75% more than what he buy a it for, which thats his prerogative but if only he would pay the people who gave him the meat in the first place. My dad is an honest man and now has to suffer the consequences of doing business with someone like Anshu and will not be able to go on his vacation to N.Y. this year. Hes 63 years old. Works hard like most of us and when people like Anshu does things to make others like my Dad suffer, i think they deserve more than just a bad review on Google.

Im really very saddened by my experience. I called my regular butcher to see if they had elk meat. They were out. I called Exotic, and spoke to the owner. He said they had elk and asked how much I needed. I was working on a new recipe, so I asked for 2 lbs. Im new to LA and dont drive, so I didnt know I couldnt use mass transit to get there. He offered to deliver to me for $20. Great. He asked if he could deliver after the store closed (this was yesterday, Saturday at 2pm). I said fine. At 8pm, I text and asked what time they close. The owner, Anshu said 10pm. I asked if he was still going to deliver and he said yes, even promised. As of this writing, (Sunday, at 3:11), I stopped the bleeding and cancelled my order at 12:30. He couldnt (or wouldnt) confirm when I would have the delivery and my thresholds for preparing were becoming lost. Im preparing a catering/restaurant business and was excited to see how this would work. Back to the drawing board. :^( If they dont have what Im looking for its fine, but dont make me wait. I bought supplies for this that have to wait (or get wasted) until another vendor comes through.

I bought lion meat and rattle snake meat from this place before and it came when it was suppose to and tasted great. Im trying to purchase more of it but im assuming its sold out. Since the prices dont make sense and are much higher then what it ordinarily would be what I paid a few hundred bucks for now being $5,000 so im assuming he did that to prevent anyone from buying it because its sold out. I sent an email but didnt get a response. Id just suggest saying its sold out and if it at all possible have the lion meats more available. Also I think some of these bad reviews shouldnt even be here its just people upset he sells lion meat even saying its illegal and thats not true. They probably never even purchased from this place and therefore have no right to give a bad review.

So far, Ive bought kobe burgers, venison, and ostrich burgers. The meat was tasty, and he and associates told me how to cook the items. I pick up from the warehouse so Im able to browse before I buy. I only have two complaints so far. Upon my first visit, I stop by during store hours, but no one was there. So I set up an appointment, which he said hed be there in 40 minutes. 40 minutes was more like a hour. The next time I called in advance and set up an appointment and was told he will be there. I ended up waiting 1 and a half hour before his associate showed up. Even when I was calling while waiting he would tell me he is almost there. I like the meats, he was great when I met him, but not too organized on the schedule. I hope this improves.

Friends, I am the owner of Exotic Meat Market located at 130 West Walnut Street, Unit A 5, Perris, CA 92571. I raise exotic animals and birds at our farm for food and pets. Our farm is also located in Perris, CA. All my animals and birds are raised with love and care. I do offer public tour of our farm for $ 20 Per Person on Saturdays and Sundays. You will be able to meet our animals, feed our animals and you will be allowed take pictures with our animals and birds. A complimentary Exotic Meat Lunch will be served to all our visitors at our farm with a bottle of chilled Evian water. Thank you. Anshu Pathak

While they do carry a few things you might have trouble finding elsewhere, the prices are generally terrible, the "more common" meats are available for less than 50% of the price advertised pre-shipping at ExoticMeatsMarket given that you have access to a decent grocery store. Ordering for a special occasion? You better drive out there and get it yourself or youre not getting it in time. Ordering something really exotic? Plan to wait even longer. The owner brags about overcharging people on his personal facebook. Generally an awful bunch to do business with. Steer clear!

This place is a scam, my co-worker ordered a 4 month shipment and everything has been rotten. The guy does not care and will not resolve or refund the issue. My co-worker has placed complaints with the FDA, the BBB, and the local attorney general. Stay away from this place or any of the shell companies set up by this guy. Also as multiple reviews say below he will be extremely rude on the phone then just hang up. This guy is a huge scam artist!

I placed an order, paid extra for 2 day shipping and received only half of my order. Its been almost 2 weeks since I ordered. I have e-mailed twice asking when I will receive the rest of my order and have not received a response!!! I paid $44 for 2 day shipping!!! If you cannot ship a product, dont accept the order!!! I will never order from this company again! I would have given zero stars if I could!

Id been waiting years for the lion button to become clickable on their website. One day it actually was, and Exotic Meat Market helped me overnight the meat for a BBQ in an obscure location. Their customer service is top-notch, and their product is fantastic. Ive ordered other stuff from them as well- their sausages are insanely good. I wish more food providers operated like Exotic Meat Market.

I would highly encourage you to find another supplier. Here is an example...I ordered a 32oz tomahawk ribeye and what I received was less than 16oz of meat on a huge bone. In my emails with the owner the weight includes the bone...really? It took no less than 10 messages to the owner with two answered and a complaint to Paypal to get one half of the purchase price returned.
