How we read reviews →Balaclava institution serving Eastern European Jewish deli classics: chicken soup, pirogi, blintzes.
Old-school neighbourhood delicatessen with a warm, family-run feel. reviewers describe it as stepping into a grandmother's kitchen rather than a modern retail space.
A full range of traditional Eastern European Jewish deli products beyond the counter staples. herring salad, blintzes, pirogi and sweets like zefir, alongside daily-made chicken soup.
Reviewers repeatedly call the food 'totally authentic Eastern European' and Jewish, comparing it directly to home-made family recipes. including a review written in Russian praising it as the best food shop.
Most reviewers call it great value with fair prices; a small number flag inconsistent quality control on individual items.
