Increadible European Foods. This place is so amazing. I cannot believe it took me so long to find it. Now I go there every couple of days. They have the least expensive fruits and vegetables for a 20 mile radius.

They have a full selection of deli meats, cheeses, herrings, smoked fish, caviar and a ton of other stuff. They make all of their deli salads and hot food on site from scratch. They even have a chef that works full time just making their menu.

They have a full wine, beer and vodka selection. It just the best place to go shopping. They also make their own breads, on site, from SCRATCH!

You must go and check it out. It's so wonderful!!!

Authentic Russian deli. Bazaar is my go-to neighborhood Russian deli. Alright, so everyone has a favorite, and this place is mine. The little dirty secret that all Russian stores share is just how much is trucked from the Russian "bazas" (warehouses) in NYC that is the true eastern European epicenter in America. Most places are around Brighton Beach Brooklyn, which is what Chinatown is to Chinese. Back to Bazaar, my favorite staples include what Russians call "zakuski" or appetizers. Typically these are herring, pickled cabbage, eggplant caviar, mushroom salad and the like. Naturally all go superbly with vodka. Fresh blini (russian crepes), smoked fish, smoked meats add to the variety. Go on, ask to sample what you like! And in the end, depending how much you spend, you'll get a free gift. Can't beat that !

Check very carefully everything you put in your basket. Russian food is generally good and tasty, but at these stores the owners don't care about quality because they know their customers are not get used to it. Usually it's impossible to find packing date on the boxes, jars or cans, lots of products are on the verge of expiration or even expired - sometimes you have to throw away what you've just opened. Some packing are clearly damaged.

Great eastern-european food. I like this store more then other similar ones in the area - great selection, service, prepared foods are excellent. Add to that great prices and you have a winner. Caviar, sweets, cold cuts - you name it they have it. And a good selection of Russian region alcohols too.
