Food selection is much smaller than other Tashkent Supermarket location on Brighton but they have a good selection here anyway. They seem to have a little bit of everything so whatever you're trying to find, they probably have it here. The raw meat department always looks amazing in all the Tashkent stores. Haven't had any issues with undercooked food from this location like I had in the past with the Brighton location, however, sometimes the flavor is still a little on the bland side and I wish it had a little more seasoning to it. While my mom was at the hospital earlier this month, she was refusing to eat the hospital food and I live very far away, so I placed an UberEats order from Tashkent for a bunch of random prepared foods like Caesar salad, chicken and broccoli, beef manti, potatoes with mushrooms, syrniki and so on, and they packed everything really well and packaged it up and it made its way to my mom at the hospital, safely. So she was happy which made me happy.

I recently learned of this store from the owner of a new Turkish restaurant that opened in my…read moreneighborhood (read my review of Effes, should you like) because I noticed that he had an giant bottle of cured sumac. I asked where he got it because I've been looking for some (and by some I mean a lot) and am totally unwilling to spend $12.00 dollars for a little bougie glass bottle. He told me about Vintage Specialty Foods! Listen: once you've used cured sumac you can't go back to powdered sumac. Q: Wait. What?? What is sumac anyway? A: Sumac, from the Arab word summaq, meaning dark red, is a spice made of the dried berries of the rhus coriaria shrub. It grows wild and happy in arid rocky environments; think Sicily and parts of the Middle East like Iran, but also in North America. Sumac berries are ground into powder or chopped and preserved with salt (this is cured sumac) and used to flavor or finish beans, vegetables, meats, poultry and fish. I've even had shortbread flavored with sumac and it was O_o. Sumac has been prized by First Nations ancestors for its medicinal values since wayback days but its tart, floral and fruity taste--kinda like if sour cherries and sunlight plus a garden could be distilled into a moment--is a flavor that we highly prize in our current small plates-make it snacky-but-not-just-tapas zeitgeist. I learned that Vintage Specialty Foods has a small, yet solid Turkish spices section--both bottled and bulk. I grabbed at least half a pound of cured sumac :D I also got some isot or urfa biber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urfa_biber and nigella seeds (known popularly as black seed or black cumin). Vintage is a lovely, well lit, jewel like specialty grocery, known for its bulk bins of dried fruits & nuts and enormous selection of candies (some which are sugar-free) as well as its teas, coffees and biscuits. (I got some gorgeous dried fruit tisanes and a giant bag of melissa, too!) In the back of the store you'll find a wide selection of olives, Turkish and neighboring nations' cheeses, yogurt and fermented milk products, as well as a small butchery. In the front of the store you'll find sweet buns, Turkish pastries, rusks, breads, and a coffee and tea station. The staff are calm and professional, if not super cuddly. Perhaps this is cultural? No matter, you're here for the goods not necessarily affection! I will say Vintage shoppers are a dedicated, focused bunch so if you're more in the mood to browse and contemplate purchases, you might feel a bit at odds at first, but soon enough you'll get into the opportunity to elevate your kitchen vibe and find yourself the very happy consumer of a number of tasty treats. Covid protocols: Everyone was masked up. It's up to you to be on top of your own six-feet apart measure--which is hard in a small shop--but can be done.

Hello, my awesome and powerful new friend in Brighton Beach…read more You have the power to make me buy things I don't need but that I desperately want. You show me your candies, olives, nuts and dried fruits by the pound, and you know I can't resist. I'm like an alley cat on a fish skelton. I pounce, and then I pick the bones clean, just like I pick your shelves and bins bare. Your dark chocolate covered almonds are bordering on unfair. Do you have to make them glisten so in the lights? Do you have to price them so low? Hey, almonds...you're coming with me, leather. All of you. Get. In. My. Bag. If only you stocked Tupelo honey as well as the many decadent varietals, and if only you'd donate those bottles of "Fat Free" Greek dressing to some pussy store in Park Slope, then you'd rate 5 stars.

I don't drink coffee but I've been told that the coffee is very tasty and the aroma of their coffee hits you as you walk in the door. The service is quick for the most part although as there is only one register, so there can be occasions where there is a bit of a line to get processed. I've bought bread and other small items and I've enjoyed my purchases there.

Inside, it has aisle upon aisles of Asian-focused products. The prices are on par with those of other fruit and veggie stands. They do have the occasional sale but it's usually food close to or expired recently. The staff can be hit and miss. They do have a lot of cashiers. They have a minimum of $10. If you are not Asian though, some of the other patrons and cashiers do look and treat you unkindly. I had asked someone a question and she said I do not work here. I literally had asked if this was an expiration date as it wasn't in English. I would have helped someone if they are trying to read something. It's called common courtesy. Other times, I would be standing in the corner, and I would literally get pushed out of the way, when there is space behind me. I try to take up as little space as possible but yet they feel that I am not entitled to be there.
