For a small space it is filled with a variety of European and Polish products. They have a terrific fresh hot bar with sausages, meat cakes, stuffed pork and chicken choices, bigos, potatoes, perogies and more. Cold salads available include beet, cucumber, macaroni, carrot and more. They also have some scrumptious looking desserts. Everything is made fresh and goes fast so get there early if you can. Everything has been consistently delicious every time. There are deli meats, cheeses, condiments, butter, yogurt, breads, chocolates, snacks and drinks. On street parking only.

I believe he needs bleach for cleaning his brain from the Trump sindrom , which by the way was not necessary in a food review. We are sick and tired of this libtards who provoke and divide.

European Deli may not be a 5 star , but it's a neighborhood deli with great products and fresh food .

Queens, NY (Astoria + Ridgewood) - I seem to be on a (sausage) roll, so for my 300th review, allow…read moreme to highlight a deli & butcher shop that's a beloved New York institution to those in the know, but not yet a secret that's out to the masses. When I was in the Astoria store earlier this month, I overheard an obviously epicurean gentleman who spent some time in Austria (with presumably some appreciation for well-crafted old world charcuterie) share that he had come down from Boston and made a special trek out here to experience this Mecca of meats in person. I myself came all the way from the distant shores of NJ that day, enduring horrendous holiday traffic down FDR Dr. and across Queensboro Bridge, but likewise, finally made this pilgrimage after I became addicted to their superlative pork cracklings (chicharron / čvarci / jumări), which is the best on the planet! It's weighed by the pound and the prime time to get it fresh & hot out of the fryer is late morning, though best to come earlier on the weekend. 90% of the products are made in-house, and one can find a dizzying array of cured and smoked meats, multiple varieties of bacon, prosciutti (including hard-to-find duck and lamb!), sausages, salami, pâtés, purées, cheeses, steaks and chops, as well as pickled and jarred foods, canned delicacies, and shelves of dried goods and snacks from Europe. The founders came over from the Balkan region and likewise the counter staff are well-versed in multiple tongues (Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Hungarian, as well as Spanish) and can fluidly navigate between ethnic product names according to what the customer is asking for. The staff are welcoming, warm, and helpful, and will offer you samples of everything to try. We stocked up on our favorites and also picked up some new goodies: - Chicharrones (always!) - Tarska bacon (a house speciality) - Rolled garlic bacon - Some other bacon (cos yes it's the land of bacon galore) - Duck prosciutto - Various sausages - Goose & pork liver pâté - Liver - Szalonna (pork fat) - Brânză de burduf, a handmade cheese that's a traditional salty Romanian cheese originated from Transylvania. (Muncan is very popular with the local Romanian community) I've always said Queens is foodie heaven and is worth a trip from the boroughs if not the tri-state, and Muncan is definitely a destination stop!

I've come here a few times for breakfast and I always order the same thing, which never disappoints (bacon, egg whites and swiss cheese on whole wheat toast). The home fries are drenched in oil, though, which is a big negative. I like my home fries dry. In the mornings, it gets a little bit hectic and you can't pay for your food while waiting for it to be cooked. Instead, you pay after, which greatly decreases efficiency and there's always a line. The food comes out pretty quickly and the place has a very friendly atmosphere. You can often see a group of old men sitting at one of the tables and just talking and enjoying their day. Seems like a close knit group of friends. Overall, this deli is great, had friendly people, good service. The food is pretty decent too. Have yet to try the pizza/hot food items on display. The prices are good for the most part. The muffins are also very big and yum!

Probably the most underrated item of all on the menu is the (beautiful) salpicao chicken salad, but it is a gem - don't sleep on this one. It's very carroty and has a unique flavor that is hard to describe - nothing like any American chicken salad you may have tried - and a bit saltier. The picanha is grilled to perfection, and if you choose rice, the rice is lightly seasoned and soaks up some of the meat juice. As I mentioned, it is very simple food, so don't expect a side of sauce or elaborate marination. It's more about the appreciation of well-made food and allowing its natural taste to really shine. Additional notes: Also worthwhile is their passion fruit salmon. When I went there in person, they always had a delightful coconut rice pudding with a prune. If they still have that, it's a must-get item. Thank me later. The vibe here - in the neighborhood and this place - is just feel-good like no other :)
