My heavily stained copy of Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Cooking is my bible for all things Indian cuisine, Laxmi always has everything I need to make it authentic. Have been shopping here for close to twenty years. Yes, it's that good. Tan-A for Asian grocery, La Milpa on Hull St. for Mexican ditto, Laxmi Palace for Indian. Those are THE spots.

I tried the beef, chicken, and kofta kebab, along with a mix of all the sauces they offered. The sauces were really good and added a lot of flavor to everything, especially when mixed together. The kofta kebab was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and much easier to eat compared to the other meats. The beef, unfortunately, was pretty tough and difficult to chew, while the chicken was a little on the dry side. Both could've been better in terms of texture, but the sauces definitely helped. Overall, I still enjoyed my meal, especially considering how late it was. I'd definitely come back for the kofta kebab, but I'd probably skip the beef next time.

I would like to say that I've lived down the road from this place for 7 years and I have slept on…read morethis place hard and if you're reading this, you probably have too. I asked the owners how long they've been here (assuming it was only a few years). This unassuming store has been here for 25 years. I went here on a whim and let me tell you, I will be a frequent customer. This is a hidden gem of a grocery store. Some of the things that caught my eye were: * Imported European butter (high quality butter). * Tons of imported, cured meats * Perogies, meat dumplings, mashed potato dumplings, etc. * A fantastic selection of tasty mustards * Pickled & fermented items such as sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, pepper spreads * A wide variety of tasty jams * Fresh farmer cheeses * Imported Cheeses * Homemade desserts * Homemade, old world, artisan bread * Much more Another person left a comment exclaiming that items here are pricey. I want to share my thoughts and why I think it's 5 stars and not pricey. So, first, I love the salami here. I bought a few kind of Salami but the German Salami is very nice. Now that being said, as of today it's like $20/lb. But, few important things to note. 1) it's Imported from Europe. 2) The richness & complexity of flavor is so much better than your $7.99/lb grocery store chain salami. The flavors are complex and wonderful. It's truly something where you keep wanting more. This is ideal for a charcuterie board or something where you want people to really notice the bold flavors. It is worth the price. Secondly, their homemade desserts are out of this world. I guarantee you that you have had few desserts that are this good. They are unlike the processed junk we get even at nice grocery store bakeries. One bite and you're in heaven. So much so we went back immediately the next day to get more. Third, they are making their own variety of bread loaves. I wish I had gotten a picture but they are as beautiful as they are delicious. This isn't old world bread. Artisan bread. You aren't getting this elsewhere. Overall, the quality of everything is just very good. It's a taste of eastern Europe. It's a treat and a delight. You should do in and try it. You won't be disappointed. Sure, many of the products may be unfamiliar or even written in a language you might not understand. But the staff is friendly and we're glad to answer my questions. As I am sure they will be glad to answer yours. And, honestly, go in and ask them what they recommend. Try thier favorite foods and favorite desserts. I tried their black currant dressert (black currants are not widely available in the US but are delightful) and I never would have if I didn't ask for a recommendation. At minimum, go in and get 1/4lb of cured meats, some dessert, some bread, and why not some mashed potato dumplings (perogies)... You won't be disappointed.

I asked the lady the prices of the ROCK sugar and one ran up as $1.99 the other one rang up as $2.42. I selected the bag for $2.42. She adjusted the price so that the item rang up at $3.99. Not believing that she made a price increase adjustment, I said to her " you just scanned it and it rang up at $2.42. She said no it's $3.99. I walked out of the store. I'm not gonna be the victim of price gouging. I found another Asian store to go to, and I will spend more money there.

I went back to my receipt and the menu to confirm that it was supposed to, and they definitely charged me the full price. The food itself is good, but this really ruined the experience.
