I was planning a wagyu steak dinner and wanted to level it up with some caviar. After seeing all the glowing reviews, I stopped by Pava Caviar Shop -- and it did not disappoint. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted and asked what I was looking for. I mentioned the steak dinner, and they immediately suggested the Kaluga, which was exactly what I had in mind. I got to sample a few options (a really nice touch), and everything I tried was delicious. I ended up going with the Hybrid Imperial and grabbed some blinis to go along with it. The packaging was beautiful -- secure, elegant, and perfect for the ride home. To top it off, they included a mother-of-pearl spoon for free, which was such a thoughtful bonus! Super excited to pair this with dinner tonight. Can't wait to come back -- this place is a gem! read more

Fantastic experience and fantastic caviar. I am a caviar novice but Vic was very kind, knowledgeable, and gave me a great recommendation. I had initially set up my back patio for a nice evening with champagne, music, and caviar, but after 10 minutes, it was clear there were too many mosquitos. So I basically ended up drinking champagne and eating my caviar on my couch while watching Scrubs reruns. Obviously best decision ever. The evening was awesome (and very delicious). I purchased two caviar varieties, both excellent; the Siberian Sturgeon ended being my favorite. I will be back again. read more

Like most people, I was drawn to this particular shop to buy some caviar for a brunch due to the five star rating on Yelp. However, when I walked in, I was immediately taken aback by the thick cigarette odor that permeated this place. I could barely think straight while in there. There was one person behind the counter, and he asked me how many ounces I wanted to purchase today. As I was perusing the different types, he offered a sample of two kinds. Again, because of the smell of cigarettes, I felt like I had to hurry up and make my decision to swiftly leave the place. I made my decision and he was packing my caviar while he was on the phone with someone. He wasn't wearing a mask or anything so I didn't feel great seeing someone speak so close to the caviar that was being scooped for me. I'd say the prices here are quite cheap for caviar because they are all from China. You get what you pay for. He was nice to offer a local discount of 10% for being a local. However, he just handed me the tin after I paid. I was stunned, like no bag or ice pack or anything? I asked if I could at least get a bag and he was like, "But you're going straight home right?" What a way to assume that I won't have any errands to run afterwards, and that the caviar will stay chilled and not go bad by the time I get home. I asked for a bag and he gave me a cheap bag that didn't even close/insulate. I saw other reviews where people would receive ice cooler bags, tin opener, and mother of pearl spoons but none of those things were offered and I felt as though he was discriminatory and didn't want my business. I'd rather just go to Absolute Caviar (also very local) where service is top notch, and you get quality caviar and pay unbeatable prices for it. read more

A Hidden Gem of Caviar Excellence in Studio City! If you're in the Studio City area and haven't yet visited Pava Caviar on Ventura, do yourself a favor and make it your next stop for a true delicacy experience. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with an elevated sense of hospitality and sophistication that sets the tone for what's to come. The caviar? Absolutely stellar. The quality and freshness are second to none--each pearl sings with rich, oceanic flavor and melts like velvet on the tongue. But what truly sets Pava apart is the unmatched pricing and showmanship. You're not just buying caviar; you're stepping into an experience. The knowledgeable staff walks you through the origin, tasting notes, and serving suggestions, and yes--you get to taste before you purchase, which is nothing short of sublime. This is not just a purchase; it's a moment. A celebration. A reason to indulge. Five stars, no hesitation. Whether you're a caviar connoisseur or new to the delicacy game, Pava Caviar is a must-visit. This is where quality, care, and customer experience meet in perfect harmony. Don't walk--run to grab your next batch of luxury. read more

There was a good selection of caviar at a great price, and Vic was very helpful and knowledgeable in his selection. The caviar was great: very rich and no string fishy taste. And the price is very competitive. The packaging and service was also top notch. Will definitely stop by next time I'm back in La. read more

Awesome experience today at Pava. My husband and I live just around the corner from this shop but have never visited. We were looking for caviar for our NYE celebration and found the shop on Yelp. We walked over mid-afternoon. After a short wait (it's apparently very popular!), were greeted by the store owner who offered us a sample of the Ossetra and the Kaluga, too! Super knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. Gave us a superb discount when he packed the tin we ordered with the last bit from an extra large container and offered to repack from a new supply or take a discount for what he had already packed for us. This is the kind of customer service that will keep us coming back for a longggg time! So happy to have found this place and excited to come back again soon! read more

I must admit, I have no idea why there are two caviar shops within a 10-block radius. But I must admit I have been going to the wrong one! I stepped into Pava Caviar, a very barren store, but don't let that deter you. What lacks in decor is made up for by the most amazing caviar selection, with taste and price. The owner, Vik, was as friendly as can be. I was a kid in a candy shop as he offered tastes and knowledge. I went with the osetra because it was so buttery and so, so good. I bought it for two separate households. We have had it from the other shop as well. The household agreed that this was far superior in terms of labor intake. The best part is that Vic asked for local, as he gives local discounts! I'm so happy I found a new Caviar shot for when the occasion calls for splurging. Caviar has American as well, and he can accommodate any budget. I can't say that for my old shop. This is now my go-to Caviar shop!! read more

My experience at Pava was unmatched compared to other caviar shops I've been to. I ordered for pickup online through their website and purchased 1 oz of the Ossetra Imperial, 1 oz of the Kaluga Reserve, and 2 oz of the Kaluga Imperial. Little did I know when it was time to pick up my order that it would come in a cute cooler bag packed with ice, mother of pearl spoons, and an opener. They also gave me 2 oz of the Kaluga Reserve, 2 oz of the Ossetra Imperial, and 4 oz of the Kaluga Imperial, DOUBLE of everything I ordered! I screamed like a kid on Christmas Day when I realized. The caviar also tasted amazing and went beyond my expectations in terms of taste and quality. Thank you Pava for making my caviar dreams come true. I'll be frequenting Pava from now on for my caviar fixes. read more

I've stopped ordering because there's no way to change or remove toppings on specialty sandwiches, no way to know what toppings are included on non-specialty sandwiches, and no way to add or select cheese (besides Swiss?).

It usually comes with marinated diced tomatoes, but I always ask for them on the side. If you dine in, the sandwich comes with two deli sides. On my last visit, I got the potato salad and marinated artichokes and both were great. The potato salad was creamy, and the artichokes were super flavorful. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, and it was a bit underwhelming. It had a slightly gritty texture. Since it's imported from Italy, I had high expectations, but I'm guessing it's shipped frozen, which might be why it didn't taste fresh. I wouldn't order it again. They also sell Italian cookies and gelato. The cookies are good, especially the raspberry ones. The gelato is really refreshing. I recommend mixing mango and raspberry if you like something tart, or trying the tiramisu flavor if you want something sweeter.

I recently received a gift of Pava Caviar from a family member, and it was such an extraordinary experience that I felt compelled to create an account just to share my thoughts. I had the pleasure of indulging in both the Ossetra Reserve and the Kaluga Reserve, and I must say, they were absolutely exquisite. The Ossetra Reserve, with its golden hue, was incredibly buttery and melted in my mouth with a rich, velvety texture. The Kaluga Reserve, on the other hand, was delightfully firm and burst with an exceptional flavor that left me craving more. I am eagerly looking forward to visiting the shop in person to explore and purchase more of these remarkable delicacies. This caviar shop has truly set a new standard for quality and taste. Highly recommended to all caviar aficionados! read more

I had a fantastic experience. The woman behind the counter was knowledgeable about the different types of caviar she had and allowed me to sample the different options. I walked away with delicious caviar and a better understanding and appreciation for caviar. read more

Caviar & Delicatessen

4.5

(56 reviews)

Spring and Easter is the time of the year when I feel more homesick for the Old Country, the nature…read morechanges, the big celebrations and the food that you can have only that time of the year. With a simple Google search I found out that Caviar & Delicatessen sells cozonac for Easter, a sweet bread, traditional for Romania. I realized they are close to me and checked them out. Caviar & Delicatessen took over a Russian deli about 1 year ago. Don't know about any caviar here, now it's a Romania Deli with owners from my neck of the woods, they do sell products for the Russian and Armenian community. I called and paid $10 as down payment for a cozonac to place my order with the older owner, who was very nice. Went to pick it up and checked out the store. They sell imported items: jellies, spreads, canned goods, juices, soft drinks from Eastern Europe. A bit pricey, but they are imported, not their fault (yes, tariffs!). They also sell fresh vegetables, fruit, bread. They make desserts and many salads, dips (boeuf salad=Russian salad, hummus, babaganoush, eggplant salads- salata de vinete and zacusca, bean dip), prepared food- roasted potatoes , meatballs in tomato sauce, schnitzel, kebabs, fried fish. They also had drob for Easter. Everything looked fresh and inviting! It was fun to browse and explore the merchandise! Tables outside! My cozonac was big, delicious, well made. It was rich in ingredients: cocoa, walnuts, raisins, great filling! It is a very hard dessert to make, I am not gonna even try. But it was a major treat to buy it ready to go in LA and the quality is outstanding! It's worth the price because they use all the right ingredients! I got painted eggs, well done, the bean dip was terrific, the mititei (our version of kofta) were so good, meat well blended, all the right spices. You get them frozen here, a decent amount, we'll have them a few times. I never made them, but they came well off the grill, tasted like in restaurants in Bucharest. Ready to go back and shop more goodies. 1 star lower because of the service, the girl couldn't find my order, had to step in, helped other ladies ahead of us, even if we were there first! Service was slow, she forgot to take $10 deposit off my final bill. Had to step in. Also, I couldn't charm my way into placing an order for pasca (didn't know they make it) sweet cheese Easter dessert. As a first time customer I couldn't convince the owner's son, he was tad curt. Maybe too much on his plate. Live and learn, note to myself to place orders ahead of time. For non-Eastern Europeans - try their vegetarian dips, they are full of flavor and take home some prepared deli meals. They can spare you from making dinner! It's easy to try, nothing strange here! Glad they are close, high quality food, helped with my homesickness for my Easter time this year!

The store is clean, bright, and organized, and the woman who helped us was very sweet and even let us try a couple varieties before we made our decision. We ultimately went with the Siberian Sturgeon, which ran about 65 dollars before tax. It was just as she described: buttery, salty, not too strong of a fishy taste. Such a treat with crème fraiche, chives, and potato chips. I also bought a gorgeous spoon for $5! I would say to buy your accoutrements elsewhere (trader joe's is a hop, skip, and jump away) because things are slightly marked up. But for those specialty ingredients (the caviar), I think the prices are fair? This is the part where you take this review with a grain of salt. Apparently, costco sells the same size of caviar once in a while for like 53 dollars--so I dunno, seems fair to me.

Monte Market

(20 reviews)

One of the most popular thrift stores in the Valley - actually, the most popular and it is…read morefantastic - resides in a old Circuit City building near the intersections of Victory and Woodman. You absolutely can not overlook the famous red tower façade. To the left of this, sits a small shopping strip and in this shopping strip: you will see Monte Market. The signage font looks like it employed the same branding graphic designer as whomever is behind retailers REI or Patagonia, complete with mountain images; but this is no sporting goods store pampering the hiking and granola crowd. Rather, Monte Market is an ethnic market (predominately Armenian, Russian-Armenian) and being European (100% Hungarian) means that I ADORE ethnic stores and therefore I made a beeline for the Monte Market entrance like a moth to a flame. Monte Market is a relatively small space but they fit a large variety of goods into the square footage. You will find everything from dried fruits, nuts, candies/chocolates, teas, beverages, cookies, fruit syrups for seltzers (us Hungarians love these) lavash breads, and other dried goods; to fresh produce, refrigerated items and a deli and meat counter. You can find a little bit of everything at Monte Market on your list plus can order meats for your events (or just your dinner). The great thing about Monte Market is that in typical ethnic market fashion, you will find imported goodies that you don't see in our standard grocery stores even if from brands we are used to for example: Oreo and Twix cookies we don't have at Ralphs, tea inside matroyshka nesting dolls, etc. Also favorably, I've found that items tend to be expired at ethnic stores and covered in a layer of dust but that didn't seem to be the case at Monte Market. Another highlight of Monte Market? I was expecting crazy, overpriced items due to imports and being a specialty market and I was happily surprised to find that prices were VERY fair and even less than prices at a Ralphs! Even eggs which are in hot demand at the time of this review were cheaper than most other stores including Walmart. Very impressive, Monte Market! My only complaint with Monte Market is that I felt very out of place. Everyone from the employees to other customers were starting at me. Did they know I'm not Armenian? Was it because I was dressed up in a sexy outfit and heels? Even the girl behind the register whom I tried to start small talk with cause were were both wearing cropped black leather jackets; asked if I needed help in a way that was obvious she thought I was trying to steal or be shady. Relax honey, I'm not stealing ethnic foods and simply browsing. Other than that slight hiccup; Monte Market is quite nice with a desirable selection of goods that is much better than the other Armenian markets in the adjacent area (which, for the record, also always give me weird looks as well so maybe it is because I'm not Armenian. Meh). I suggest Monte Market up their customer service game. Despite this, I still recommend this market for your Middle Eastern goodies or to browse after your thrift store adventure.

It was literally perfect. The fish had no smell whatsoever when I picked it up. This is a warehouse, not really a seafood shop, so you order in advance and pick it up. The neighborhood is downright scary. But you just drive up to the gate and they buzz you in and you go in the back. There's a large dog there for protection, and I don't blame them. They seem to have a test kitchen and an office and the place is impeccably clean. The woman who helped me out was very personable and made everything quite easy. The price was extremely reasonable. Sushi grade salmon. Highly recommend for that alone. My guess is that their other stuff is great also but I wouldn't know. That's it. I'm going back for some salmon soon. I used half of it for the gravlax and cut the rest into portions to freeze. Delicious fish, and a good value.
