Good Russian food. Very authentic. It’s nice to try something that hasn’t been Americanized

Recently learned about this hidden gem and can’t get enough. The owners are awesome and the food is super great and authentic. Will be coming back and bringing adventurous friends! :)

Awesome hidden gem if you are looking for Russian food. They have a small selection of Russian grocery items (candy, deli meats, drinks, etc.) and they also have a small family ran restaurant operation with Russian staples such as Pierogi and Borscht. The owner was a bit pushy in getting us to purchase additional items but I believe it was because he was excited for us to try new things that we didn’t know about, so this wasn’t necessarily a negative thing haha. This was the only Russian food we could find throughout the valley so definitely check it out if you are searching.

I am from Russia, and I absolutely LOVE going to this store! The owners are really friendly, and if you sit down to eat their homemade food is delicious! I always go there to get some of my favorite Russian foods, and get a little taste of home.

Cute little store. Very friendly and nice owners. They also make homebaked pirogi, homemade cabbage salad, borsh, and other goodies

The listing says grocery, but there is also a small restaurant inside. I’m by no means an expert on Russian and Eastern European food, but I thought it was really good!
As a heads up, this place is tucked away on the 2^nd floor of a small shopping complex, above Abode vintage shop.
The owner is very friendly (I believe he said he’s from Moldova). He was very accommodating, as I am vegetarian. The borscht soup is amazing! (If you’re vegan, ask for no sour cream.) The pierogies were handmade and excellent. I also had some kind of veggie bread roll (they have meat ones too), which was good, but I prefer the pierogies. The pierogies normally come with sour cream or something, but the owner offered me some ketchup instead, which was a tasty addition.
I also bought some a big bar of Russian dark chocolate for $ 5. What a steal! And it was seriously some of the best dark chocolate I’ve had.
Definitely check out this local ethnic restaurant.
