We were visiting some friends in Seattle and came across the Balkan store we were fascinated how much variety they had of Balkan products.
The owner is very polite and helpful.

Excellent selection of European foods! I bought ingredients for sarmale and couldn’t resist the delicious-looking assortment of European chocolates.

This place has all of the best ingredients for the Balkan dishes I want to make: a variety of tetovac beans, soft white cheeses and delicious sauce and meal pack seasoning packs. Helpful manager, and friendly suggestions and advice!
