We found the lamb khinkali we were searching for (Georgian-style dumplings), and many other types of pelmeni too. There is a wide selection of smoked herrings and salmon. The home-smoked salmon pieces we took home were delicious! Smoky and salty and oily as they should be. Lots of varieties of smetana too, though I resisted this time due to its high fat content (higher even than standard American sour cream, AI informed me). A great resource for those craving foods from the region, and larger than Matreshka's down the road.

Then visually, everything spoke to me, from the displays of imported products, to the cases of nuts in copper bowls, to the freshly prepared take home hot & cold foods at the food order counter to all the varieties of any kind of Mediterranean foods you can think of stocked within all the aisles. And did I mention the pastry counter? OMG, I was in heaven & how did I not know about this place? We came to order a take home dinner after a class we were taking and wanted to try the chicken kabob dinner. We found our way to the order counter despite my obvious distraction of everything around me. Everything on the menu looked SO good and the items in the display case were looking yummy. They had many varieties of Pinsa on display & they were tempting, but we were there for kabobs first. Judging the store/takeout by this simple dish, but very important. They have everything from traditional Persian meals, but also flatbread "pizza" called Pinsa, cheesesteaks etc. I also have been searching for Fesenjan as my usual stop has disappointedly changed the recipe. I inquired if they have it and they DO! The wonderful counter lady offered me a sample & I quickly said, Yes and it was YUMMY!! Just with that, I grew more excited. We decided to also purchase 3 different Baklava from the pastry counter (2 walnut types & 1 Pistachio). When our food was ready, we were handed this HUGE bag, for 2 dinners? 2 almost pizza boxes were in the bag and it was heavy. I kept telling my husband, are you sure this is ours? When we got home I couldn't wait to see what's inside the box. I have NEVER seen such a well packaged take home set up. Food was perfectly presented within the box as well as once we opened the lids, nothing moved. I'm still in awe & appreciate the high level of care in creating the packaging. Shows care for the food & customers. What I didn't expect & great surprise was receiving Shirazi salad and Mast-O-Khiar with our entree order. ALL the food was EXCELLENT, good portion value. I will say the Pistachio baklava was my favorite, but the other walnut baklava was also very good, I would even say THE BEST I've ever had and I've had many from almost everywhere my entire life. Please note that store hours are hour longer than kitchen hours. We just made it before kitchen closed at 8p, which we did not realize. The store looked clean, nicely stocked, very friendly staff and what I could see of the kitchen also clean & orderly. Truly a fantastic experience.

As the name suggests, there are specialty food items from all over Europe. While I saw some things like English teas, German cookies, and a few Greek items, it seemed like the majority of the offerings were from Eastern Europe. I think over half of the products had labels in Cyrillic alphabet with no translation on them in any fashion, so some things you just gotta know what it is or ask the staff. I saw a lot of things from Georgia and Ukraine, but I think I saw other products from that region (Russian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, etc.). The staff were very friendly, and cheerfully assisted me with some of the pastries we purchased. One had a nice balance of flaky pastry and fruit filling while the blintzes seemed a bit underwhelming. I also picked up a bottle of dessert wine and Children #1 and #2 picked out some candies that caught their eye. The inside is clean and somewhat small but easy to navigate. There is music playing (I don't know what language; I want to say Russian but in today's climate that could be a charged statement. Just want to say it positively adds to the vibe). Worth checking out, if you want to explore a product you might not otherwise be exposed to or if you want to find a specialty European item that you've been missing.

Now, you may be saying to yourself, why would Joy B. searching for the hot peppers? The truth of the matter is that I was looking to help out a friend. I found my cayenne pepper and I was pleasantly surprised at the price point. I bought a nice size bottle for about $6.00 and change.
