I was shocked to see just how big this shop was, there's an upstairs section, and then the aisles kept coming. Everytime you thought you were coming to the end, there was a little maze that took you somewhere new. We spent almost an hour in here, and if we weren't heading home the next day and limited on suitcase space, we could've spent even more time browsing and buying. We ended up getting a variety of seasoning blends, lentils, bitters, powdered cheese and egg whites, and some spices. Can't wait to start cooking with all of it! Customer service was very friendly and welcoming.

Recently I am introducing more and more because I love the taste. No doubt I eat a lot of TUMs but it's worth it some days. In the past I've had the Marhaba Mayan Tropical Sea Salt purchased here. I'm very fortunate to have a Yelp gift of the same Sea Salt without making a trip to the store. Here is the quote from the package. I recommend you visit the location for everything spicy your heart desires. I'll stick with sea salt for now. TROPICAL SEA SALT "This sea salt was harvested off the coast of Guatemala salt ponds, created along the mangrove forests, where Mayan began harvesting salt since as early as 1000 BC. Nurtured by mineral-rich volcanic soil and the tropical waters this salt lend it a mild minerality and higher moisture content, making it an ideal finishing salt, enhanced with the taste of the tropics. Adds flavor to both sweet & savory foods, such as seafood & grilled meat," It's definitely good!

I used to absolutely love this place, but things have shifted in a negative direction and I felt…read morecompelled to write about it. The meat prices used to be extremely attractive, and they have probably gone up 50% to 60% over the past 8 to 12 weeks. At the chicken or lamb over rice station, the container has shrunk down in size by roughly 40%. It does taste pretty good, but is now more expensive than chipotle, fluffies, or any chicken over rice food truck in the city. On our most recent visit last weekend, the new container is so small that there is hardly any rice in our chicken over rice dish. And it now costs almost $11 per pound after tax. Yes, I weighed the food and the container. Fluffies, for example, which I am not affiliated with at all, is a much better deal than Tashkent. At Fluffies I am paying roughly $6.75 per pound of food, and it is extremely delicious. The salad bar is still has an amazing selection, but it is $11-$21 per pound, depending on what you get. That is whole food prices! Overall Tashkent used to be a tremendous value, and now it is average. I can get average anywhere in the city. This has ruined it for me. And I'm pretty much done with it.

All I bought this time was a 5-pack of Yakult, a milk-based, probiotic drink that I like. Now I don't have to go all the way to 32nd St. and 6th Ave. just to get it. It's made in Orange County, CA, by the way.

Do not expect bargain-basement prices here. You are paying for the convenience. But I only wish all products had prices marked. Some reviewers complained about buying expired products.

Having been opened in 1970 by Ukrainian butcher Julian Baczynsky, little has changed to their old school exterior, as captured by Chantal Akerman's 1976 "News from Home." East Village Meat Market maintains a range of delicious prepared Ukrainian and related delicacies, perfect to take to your home to enjoy. While there are meats like Kovbasa (i.e., sausages,) and what they deemed a "Ukrainian Style Hot Dog," you'll also find yummy assorted fresh Blintzes and Croquettes, like the ones I picked up this last time to gobble down at home. (FYI - Definitely recommend my yummy Peach Cheese and Banana & Honey Blintzes, plus Sauerkraut Mushroom Croquette!) The staff are incredibly friendly, plus there's much, much more than those options at East Village Meat Market,... but you should head on down to this special shop to check out what you might enjoy.
