Many people complain about poor customer service. No one seems to be aware of the fact that the owner(s), by selling russian made products, support the aggression against Ukraine. Moreover, the business is in violation of embargo on import of seafood from russia. I would welcome the owners' response to this.

Service is spotty. Fruit is super inexpensive. They get specialty items like lingonberries and lychees sometimes. I recommend if you have a few fresh things you need, or if you’re looking for Russian or Ukrainian food.

DO NOT GO TO THIS STOREShould you decide to purchase anything in this store, pay attention to the price they are actually charging you. For example, they charged me $70 for the purchase of fish that actually costed $20. Similar situation also happened to my friend a while ago.The good side is that they quickly returned the difference to me. However, it costed me an extra trip.

This is a great place for a quick grocery run. A good variety of multicultural foods are available. It even has a deli and a fresh fruits and vegetables section. I’ve found a lot of delicious things looking around here that I may have never tried otherwise.The only downside is that it can feel unsafe at certain hours of the night due to the area of Allston where it’s located. But as long as one is not reckless, there should be nothing to worry about.

The workers there are super rude. There were customers before me and they had an even worst experience than me. The workers claimed to not speak English but they understood everything that was said to them and rolled their eyes when something was asked.

Excellent store. They renovated the area for baked goods, breads, and cakes. It's much easier to get around in the front of the store.

Lots of Eastern European products. Fresh fruits and vegetables, charcuterie, freshly baked bread and canned products Very typical of a European supermarket. There are duck salami, caviar cream, sprats paté. Will definitely come back.Pro tip: ask the attendants or cashier if you don't know the products. They are very helpful.

Very cool eastern European grocery store! Huge selection of all sorts of foods I have never seen in any other American grocery store. Most of the customers and cashiers were speaking Russian or other Eastern European languages, and my friend who brought me told me how many brands she found here she'd only seen in Romania; I'm pretty confident it's authentic!

My boyfriend and I went here to just check it out to see what they had and BOY were we surprised. The space looks small from the street but extends far back into the store so it's much bigger than it appears at first. There is a ton of variety and it makes for a fun adventure to get a few new things to try every time. We got fresh chicken liver here which was extremely clean and higher quality in our opinion than the one that we got from formaggio that was almost triple the price and wasn't even fresh ! Also the prices are extremely reasonable and seem to be cheaper than market basket for certain items. We'll def be coming back here often.

There are some good food items here, but staff are rude.I have in the past enjoyed shopping at Bazaar on Cambridge, but today I got such disrespectful treatment at the deli counter that I will not return. I ordered small quantities of several items I wanted to try. The team member indicated surprise at the small quantities but served me initially. Then I asked her to meet me on the other side of the deli to select smoked fish and salmon eggs. I know her English is limited so I also pointed and showed with my hand that I would go around. She seemed to agree but then ignored me, talked with a second team member and busied herself with other tasks. The second team member served another customer who was waiting at the fish counter before me - fair enough. But when she was done, that second team member ignored me, chatted with a third team member, went to look in a refrigerator and busied herself with various seemingly needless tasks like straightening things out on the display that were already straight. She never acknowledged my presence in any way. The third team member ignored me also. Then new customers arrived at the deli counter and they were served while my young son got cranky and upset and pulled and pushed on me. When all the other customers were gone the three team members got together behind the counter and chatted with each other at length, never acknowledging me as a customer in any way. Finally, I left in anger and I never got what I came to purchase. Regardless of the quantity purchased, I expect good service. The team used to be so nice. Now they are just rude.

A while ago, they stated that they can't pretend the war in Ukraine is not happening, hence no more Russian goods will be imported.Nowadays, I found ice cream made in Russia at this store. Moreover, the production date was April 2022, so this product has definitely been imported after the war started.What a shame.

A lot of goods on the shelves are past expiration date and no ones seems to take them off so that people don’t buy it. Most of the ice cream in the tall freezers expired in January 2022. The prices are a bit too high. Spent almost $160 on barely two full bags…. Will not be returning to this store and will not recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful store for imported products and regular produce. Note about expiration dates: the date on the package is often the date of *production* not expiration. The package will say something like “good for a year since production date.” But of course that part is written in Russian. So if you only rely on the printed dates you’ll miss many perfectly good products.
