Good selection of European food, reasonable prices, good place to eat. I always visit when I'm in the neighborhood and I do not live near by.

I absolutely recommend you come here and go straight to the hot counter. The food is amazing. I can't wait to try every selection they have to offer! They have so many other grocery items from all around the world to choose from as well. Big selection on sausages, smoked meats of all types even fish. Do not get me started on the dessert area. I am attempting to try every item in that department as well. The prices are much better the any other market for sure. I hope you at least come in and walk around. i promise you will find something that tantalizes your curiosity. Happy shopping.

Love to pick up at their prepared food section - so many options and almost always tasty. Also obsessed with their bakery - can't get enough of those meringue cookies!

They have a hot food section, a bakery section, candy section, produce, and more (they do not serve or sell alcohol). It was very spacious, well-organized, and clean on a Saturday around the lunch hour, though the parking lot is a little tight at the entrance. We'll definitely be coming back. (Even more detail on my blog lol link in my profile.) Their hot food stayed hot on the 30-minute drive back! Cabbage Rolls (Beef) - 3/5: Day-of, I had one that tasted a little off, but I was fine. Had one the second day and that one tasted much better. My partner prefers ones that have more of the tomato sauce. I'm no golumpki connoisseur - these tasted as good as any others I've had, and I can't recall any having particularly stood out. Chicken with Tomato and Cheese - 5/5: I have no idea what this is called, but it tasted almost like a Vietnamese-seasoned pork (I have no idea how else to describe the flavor) topped with a thin layer of mayonnaise, topped with a thin slice of tomato and melted cheese. Basically a bun-less burger. It was excellent and I look forward to having more. Chicken Kiev - 2/5: Their chicken kiev was only okay. I felt the chicken was a bit dry and the breading needed more salt (but it wasn't oily on the outside, which was nice). I liked the fresh dill that was inside (along with the signature large amount of butter). I don't think I would get it again, but I didn't have any regrets. Sturgeon - 4/5: I'm still not sure how this dish is prepared or what exactly it's called, but it's basically a buttery baked slice of fish. If you're not super into fish dishes, I wouldn't recommend it, but I love a fishy dish (catfish, usually). I thought this was flavorful, tender (I bet when it was just taken out of the oven, it was cooked to absolute perfection), and juicy. I would get this again. Borscht 4/5: My partner said this was one of the best versions of borscht he's ever had. I would agree, though I've not had that many. It was salty and nicely flavored with beef (that's probably why it was so good - I don't think we've ever had beef in our borscht). The chunks of beef were tasty, but I'd say my favorite part of this was the potatoes. Probably golden potatoes, as they absorbed the flavor, maintained their shape, and were still buttery and soft. Compote 5/5: I was expecting this to be too sweet, but it was actually the perfect "not too sweet" and I 100% will get it again (maybe more next time). You can taste all the fruit flavors mingling on your taste buds. Very fresh fruit juice! I would compare the sweetness level to a good Asian pear. Napoleon Pastry - 3/5: A few online reviews recommended these. We got one that was rectangular in shape (I'm not sure what the differences are). It was flaky (the moisture had seeped into it, so not very crispy) and had some sort of whipped cream in it. I liked it and would eat it again, but would not go out of my way to buy it again. Varieties of Honey Cake (?): Wafers are very popular with Eastern Europeans, as are treats made with honey and nuts. I am here for this. I have no idea what we got, but they were all very tasty variations of wafer-like honey cakes. - (4/5) Flat rectangular bar with bird's milk chocolate on it: The most like a wafer, but more cake than wafer. I would get this again. - (5/5): Tall and puffy/round cake that fits in the palm of your handThis was my favorite. It has your wafer layers, some very granular bits of nuts, and layers of a lightly whipped cream. We're not familiar with Eastern European languages or candies, so picking a one was challenging. However, we chose and were not disappointed! We got some chocolate cubes from ABK (5/5) that are basically hazelnut and nuts (similar texture to a Nestle Crunch, except with actual good quality). I picked some sesame seed / chocolate / honey candy. They are not too different than the other one, but also a 5/5 not-too-sweet. Other than that, lots of good teas and cured meats! We didn't get any produce, but it also looked nice.
