The cheeses are also interesting, lots of types of farmer's cheeses, kefir, butter, and yogurt. They do carry cakes, but they are not made in-house. Large assortment of canned and dried mushrooms and canned fish as well. And caviar! The freezers hold several flavors and brands of pelmeni and small dumplings. There is a prepared foods counter at the back, but we have never tried anything since most of it has meat in it (we are 2/3 vegetarian.) The only issue we have come across is that a lot of the ladies behind the cases will not speak English, or even attempt to try to communicate with you unless you are speaking Russian. My husban is Hungarian and remembers some from school, so they at least tried to understand him.

She had a toasted vegetarian grinder and some mac & cheese, I ordered rice and broccoli as I had eaten lunch earlier and just wanted something to take with me to work. I didn't get an opportunity to try it as it went missing soon after I went to bed lol but my girlfriend enjoyed everything! Loved the old Italian feel.

When I arrived, I could tell it was busy because there were many cars parked outside. It was pouring rain , but I found a spot and ran inside. The line was long but it gave me sometime to look around. There was a lot to look at. A lady in front of me told me it's a popular spot and everything you get is delicious m. They serve everything from sandwiches and grinders to pasta, wings, bread, cookies, wine, pasta salad and SO much more! It is a bit tight in there and it was hard to look at everything in the case because people were standing waiting for their food. I ordered a sandwich and mozzarella sticks. A few of the staff seemed grumpy. One girl was complaining loud enough for customers to hear and the lady that helped me seemed like she didn't want to be there. The wait time was a little long I thought considering how many people were working. The lady that rang me out was very nice. I thought the prices were really reasonable too. My sandwich was really good. I could tell that the deli meat was fresh. I grabbed fresh lemonade from the cooler and I'm so glad that I did. It was delicious!! I love lemonade. I am so glad I grabbed the bag of homemade potato chips because they were soooo good. I munched on them on the way home. I suggest checking this place out if you are in the area!!

In my case I opted for beef shawarma with fries & my particular shawarma I only had meat, onions & parsley & also had a small order of rice (photos will verify). Now the particular cook who I even had a word with gave me good understanding of the cuisine here; people at times I suspect don't ask the right questions about the cuisine done & this one was very helpful with the food they knew (also he emigrated from Egypt & very knowledgeable about the region in here) plus he gave me excellent information about the style of food including how even Greece was a bit since the two countries are not far plane or boat aspect. Well now you know.

I stopped by Pajers on a Sunday morning around 9am to check them out. A buddy of mine shared some…read morehomemade Italian sausage from Pajers that was delicious, so I made the trip. Cute little shop with a ton of Italian foods of all descriptions. Stood at the deli counter for a little while before one of the three people working behind the counter actually noticed my 6'4" 300 plus pound frame. Even though there was only one other person besides me being helped. I was excited to see that they had homemade salami on the menu so I decided to get a whole grinder. The young lady who was helping me seemed somewhat bothered that she had to wait on me. I ordered my grinder and made a quick change to it BEFORE she started making it and her disappointment was very apparent with her body language. Whatever, it was quite humerus actually. That kind of thing doesn't really bother me. Also picked up some sausage, antipasto salad, etc as well. As far as the grinder goes the homemade salami was delicious and an excellent choice. The grinder roll is massive which is what I think people are so hypnotized with when they mention the Pajers grinders are "huge". Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of meat but its large size is mostly due to the massive roll. Still, it was worth the $18 in my opinion. Cash only, so be aware of that. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by, not too sure I'd drive too far out of the way to stop in there though. Also, be prepared for some potential "spicy" customer service. Perhaps they treat their regular customers better, who knows?
