European Delicatessen - International Food Market: Reviews & Ratings
I LOVE THIS PLACE! So many food options. Very clean and well maintained. Sometimes the fruit isn't the best quality, but it's hard to find good fruit anywhere these days. The rest of the food is amazing though.
Great store! We love many things from here. From drinks to pastries, candies, ice cream etc.
The best place to get European groceries in Boise! They had most of the items I was looking for. It would be nice if they carried monastery kvas but I did settle for what they had. I like that taste better than kombucha. Check it out if you crave Ukrainian foods!
Good selection of produce, staff is friendly. Prices are a little higher but expected for quality Slavic foods
I found this European delicatessen by accident. It's kind of out-of-the-way, but totally worth a try. I went in there for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. They had a good selection of hot food as well as all kinds of other European delights. The cash register is a little slow, but in general, I thought this place was a definite win. The food was absolutely delicious and you have to try the Piroski. Delicious delicious. I can highly recommend this place
Fun place! Even though I have lived here in the Boise area for around 8 years now, I had no idea that this place existed! Lucky me that I finally discovered it!!! I was itching for some seriously authentic eastern "bloc" food and so I made the trip out to do just that. I truly appreciate all cuisines and my sweet, late mother used to make some of these dishes despite our Italian and French heritage. She made chicken paprikash, beef stroganoff, and even stuffed cabbage, just to name a few. Since the pandemic hit, we all stayed behind so it was such a nice change to get out and about and explore a new shop! They offer a wide range of what was mostly Russian and Ukrainian food items and while I was shopping around, I asked a kind Russian family what the best bread was in the shop to buy and they pointed out a fresh Rye loaf that was made in-house, so I bought some!! It was a perfectly shaped, a beautiful deep brown color and you can tell it was so fresh! I also bought some liver pate', some cabbage salad, stuffed cabbage with a sour cream sauce, and some marinated mushrooms. YUM! I would say there were only two things I wasn't super jazzed about. One, that it was so dark in the shop and two, they seemed short staffed and I got one member of the team that moved so slow, I almost fell asleep waiting for my deli item. LOL Everything was delicious, but I did discover one small surprise...a cranberry in the middle of my container of cabbage salad. Is this for good luck? Anyone know? I will definitely go back and shop some more!
Wonderful supplier of fish eggs, pickled: mushrooms, pumpkin, garlic. Matias fish. And many many more European / Russian based foods. At a decent price as well. They usually have all I want so I just stockpile it for next time I'm in the area. For that it's priceless. Look, they are not costumer service oriented ppl. I read all the bad reviews. This is a Russian style store. Including the ppl. It's not a Russian American one. They have yet to acclimate it seems to the way we are here. In a few years, I'm sure costumer service will be gréât. It's not right now. Just accept that and get your goodies and go and be happy. A gem.
Loaf of fresh Russian Rye Bread $5 1 lb. tube of Mortadella 1 lb. tube of Chicken Bologna 1 can chicken pate 1 can paprika chicken pate Equals $23 and a week of lunches or one big Saturday picnic for 8-10. The Rye bread is fresh every day and is simply stunning. There are thousands of other Eastern European products and mountains of various frozen perogies. You deserve a visit and a sampling of their goods. There is an indoor dining area. All the ladies were cheerful and helpful. To all the COVID whiners - no masks because they are no longer mandated by the elite oppressors.
