Visited the store for the first time! An interesting place to select, buy and try goods from Eastern Europe and the former USSR. Very kind store management. Accepts all types of payment including SNAPEBT. If you need fish, caviar, lard, dumplings, pies or cottage cheese this is the place for you! I recommend visiting!
