Went shopping to prepare for a lunch gathering at home. I was a bit nervous going in, because it…read morewas my first time visiting and was immediately intimidated by the food labels in Russian/English. I started asking one of the attendants about the ingredients when she gestured to get someone else to help in English. The lady that came over was so friendly, patiently explained any dishes I had questions about, gave me samples to make decisions, and gave me candid recommendations on the entrees and desserts. She spent a total of 15-20 minutes with me just to plan a small gathering for three: three types of salad, Hungarian chicken, lamb samsa, and two types of deserts, which rang up to $70. The salads were instant home runs, so fresh and tasty, and everyone raved about it. Most customers speak Russian with the attendants, and it looks like most attendants can provide at least minimal assistance in English. I see myself coming back regularly to try other goodies.

The most unfriendly food store. Ask for help the lady looked right at me and didn't say anything…read morejust looked down at whatever she was reading. I ask someone else behind the meat counter no answer. So maybe they are friendly to some people but not all. It's ok because we have a bunch of international food stores of different ethnic food all of the place. Never again here.

There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

Absolutely love this place! First found it when looking for some spices I'd never heard of before…read morefor a Palestinian dessert. International Grocery had these and many other spices, grains, nuts, flours, everything you can think of, from multiple cuisines from many cultures around the Mediterranean. They also have fresh halvah, and delicious spanakopita, freshly made! I got into the habit of buying several generous servings-- one for now, several for my freezer. What a great find!

I cannot thank the cake decorator, Cheyenne, at ShopRite located on14-22 West Prospect Street, East…read moreBrunswick, NJ, enough for the exceptional care and kindness she showed while helping me with a baby shower cake for two moms-to-be. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. What meant the most to me was her patience, flexibility, and genuine willingness to help. She took the time to communicate with me outside of normal business hours and graciously accommodated several last-minute changes without hesitation. Her professionalism and dedication immediately put me at ease during what could have been a stressful process. When I saw the finished cake, I was truly blown away. It was beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and exactly what I had envisioned. Her talent and attention to detail made this special celebration even more memorable. Cheyenne, thank you for your outstanding customer service and for making such an important day so special. Your kindness and hard work made a lasting impression, and I am incredibly grateful.

If you care about your health or your family then i wouldnt recommend this place…read more Everything looks unhealthy. The chicken just lookks bad all around . Sometimes it smells .
