The prepared food is fresh and delicious excellent blintzes, lula kebabs, stuffed cabbage, etc. Today I decided to try tiramisu cake and didn't have high hopes because when I've gotten baked goods at similar delis around Brooklyn they are inevitably stale and taste like the refrigerator case. But this tasted fresh and it was delicious perfectly sweetened and light. Aside from the fresh foods, they have good prices on smoked fish, fresh pickles, and plenty of jarred foods from Eastern Europe. The people working there were very nice and helpful when I asked what things were. It's just one of those wonderful stores that makes me happy to live in Brooklyn.

The restaurant is spotless and offers reasonable prices. I definitely plan on returning in the future. read more The restaurant is spotless and offers reasonable prices. I definitely plan on returning in the future.

The friendly staff that used to make the experience special have been replaced by unwelcoming and gloomy individuals. As a result, the restaurant is usually empty.

This is a great restaurant with delicious food and high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend it to everyone! read more This is a great restaurant with delicious food and high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend it to everyone!
