    Checkout lanes that never seem to be open, and a self-service checkout area that is also always closed.

    I like Lidl in Livingston. As with many people, I was under the incorrect belief that Aldi and Lidl were the same company. This is only relevant because I dislike the Livingston Aldi location, so, I didn't even try Lidl for a while, thinking it would be similar. To be fair, the stores are similar in some ways. They are both German discount grocers, and the layout of the stores is similar. They also both carry European products you don't typically see at other local supermarkets. That's where the similarity ends. While neither store can act as substitute for a supermarket like Shoprite, I enjoy browsing the aisles Lidl in a way that I don't at Aldi. Lidl seems cleaner and better maintained. I like their bakery, and their Lidl brand products seem more to my liking. I also like the "coin-free" shopping carts at Lidl. The one downside to Lidl is the checkout experience. Despite all the checkout lanes and a self-service checkout, I have never been there when there was more than one checkout lane in service. More than once, I've left with my groceries still in the basket because the checkout line stretched to the back of the store. They need to fix this. Beyond that one complaint Lidl is a fun place to shop and in certain cases you can actually save some money.

    Interestingly enough Yelp moderators removed my review before they were open because I complained that they weren't open yet (they've been set up for more than a year before opening). The store itself opened on December 11th, 2024. I wondered inside today to check out what the deals were and they had a few deals based on downloading their app. I very much disagree with it, I understand what they're doing in tracking people but I don't like it. Makes me want to get a cell phone just for using on services like this so it's completely separate. Maybe somebody can come up with a burner phone that does that for applications you don't want. That being said, you can get some cheap salmon right now or beef if you want to download their phone app. They have a little bakery which sets them apart from the Aldi, but most the other groceries weren't any different in price than the store brand at ShopRite or Wegmans.

    I am a Caucasian, and almost everything in this store is very interesting to me. I recognize maybe…read more20% of the things I see here- and I have no context for prices. In the back of the store they prepare fresh "hot" food "to go". There are no prices on the containers (there are many things that don't have prices marked by the way), but there is a listing on the wall above the table. Yesterday I went to get something for a snack. They had a container of 5 fried cakes/dumplings. I had never had them before - but everything else I've gotten here has been delicious, so I had 2 questions; "no meat?" and "how much $" -- and the cook (who did not speak much english) said "no meat" and "aloo" pointing at the list on the wall (it said $7). I was good to go :-) I got to the cashier, ready to pay, and the cashier said "$10"... I replied -- the sign said $7. He replied something like "this is aloo x, you are talking about aloo y" ... to avoid further embarrassment, I paid the $10... but I really had the feeling that they have two sets of prices... I got the outsider's price if you know what I mean. It was disheartening. That said, they tasted fine. even with the tension I felt in my stomach.

    Ricky's is a small Indian food store that is brimming with food and spices. So much that's it hard…read moreto shop there - customers are shopping, boxes are being opened and emptied, shelves and refrigerator cases being stocked while people are checking out in front and that line sometimes meanders into the aisles - it's a busy place! They also have a good selection Indian rice in large and larger bags and fresh vegetables with Indian specialties that are hard to find like curry leaves. In the back is a small take out place. I've only eaten there once, it was fine, but I can't review it. Do you want Pillsbury frozen Nan, paneer, frozen ready to cook meals, desserts, snack packs Bombay style, bottled Indian condiments and a huge selection of spices? You've come to the right place. You just have to be patient and battle through. The selection is quite complete and my trips to Edison or Parsippany to get supplies has diminished. Just remember it's a large selection in a smaller store. One cash register and small counter. I can tell you it's busier on the weekends but during the week, you never know. But if you live in Essex County or nearby, it can be your mainstay of Indian food.
