I don't usually venture this far West on McLeod Road, but I happened to be driving by one day, and…read morethe words "European Deli" caught my eye. Europe is, of course, a big place, but past experience has taught me that I'm much more likely to find the goodies I came to know and love in Croatia and Bosnia in a place with "European Deli" in the the name than in your basic average grocery store. At the time, I was in a hurry, but now that I knew that the place was there, I promised myself that I'd go back and investigate when I had more time. A later inspection of the outside of the store revealed a couple of photos of products that I know and love: Podravka Vegeta and Kraš Napolitanska. Better yet, there are the magic words "chevaps" and "burek" right on the front of the store. The inside did not disappoint. Quite the contrary, it was better than I even dared hope. Many of my favourite brands and products are on the shelves: ajvar, pašteta, višnija (sour cherry) syrup, chevaps (or, as I know them, ćevapi) in the freezer. (Plus a bunch of cookies and chocolate that I shouldn't even be looking at these days. I love them, but my doctor is on my case to get my blood sugar down.) To my surprise and delight, they even have mlinci, which is a rare find. Most recently, I took my sweetie there. They are still open, although they're limited to only having five customers in the store at a time. But what really made that trip worthwhile was the glass case with a familiar-looking baked item inside. The clerk saw me eyeing it, and said, "It's a cheese pie. We call it burek." I was so thrilled, I had to order two portions right away. Once my sweetie tried it, she couldn't stop saying, "This is so good!" (Okay, granted, some stores do sell "Twisters", which are quite similar, but this was the style that I was first introduced to, and still my favourite.) I am so happy to have found this place. Now I have a reliable source of some of my favourite goodies.

It's been about a month and a half since it's passed, so here's my honest take of the restaurant part of this store. We visited Niagara Falls for three days and as was the highlight of our 2.5 week vacation in eastern Canada. My family and I normally eat at a Filipino food place at least once to vibe how the Filipino food and community is at an area. Lo and behold, J&B Filipino/Asian Store was only a 10 minute walk from our hotel, which is a 20 minute walk from the actual falls, or a 5 minute drive. Nice! The first time we went there, we checked out the grocery store section part of the store, but we didn't really need any Filipino snacks since we are already familiar with it and have them at home in Hawai'i. The next day, we tried to eat at the restaurant, but we were abruptly told that the restaurant was closed. The man wasn't the smiley, friendly type and wasn't Filipino himself, so we felt a bit bad, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because everyone has bad days. The very next day, the restaurant was actually open this time, so we went to try it out. We were actually given menus at our seat, but told us to order up at the cashier (which is weird, pick either service or turo-turo style lol). It was a relatively long wait, about 20-25 minutes, but good food takes a while to make. I wish I could say it was good, but it wasn't that. First of all, what kind of Bicol Express has no gata and all bagoong? I was fully expecting Bicol Express, even confirmed it twice upon ordering and receiving, but was vastly disappointed at what I ate, which is far too salty for my taste. I left unsatisfied with my meal. I didn't want to ruin the vibe with my family, so I didn't mention anything until my mom mentioned that her bangus (milkfish) was stale. I tasted it myself, it was! No wonder my sister's husband from Canada who grew up in Ontario hated fish. Fish from Ontario, Canada is tasteless/stale due to being imported (unlike fresh in Hawai'ior the Philippines)!!! Next, my normally quiet brother is usually content with everything, but his sisig was tasteless! Is there even a Filipino working in the back, or is the Filipino food in Canada not tasty at all (not the case since we had better Filipino food in Montreal in future days)? Finally, the vibe of the sole employee at the time speaks of no customer service or Pinoy (or even Canadian) hospitality at all. He was quite blunt, but it could be his personality. He also blasted Cuban music in the store, which I'm not against, but the environment didn't feel authentically Filipino to me and felt disingenuine. No wonder this place wasn't visited at all, which is a disappointment since this place has good reviews from a year ago. It's possible that the owners have changed and the quality went downhill. I don't think I'll ever recommend this restaurant to anyone I know, and we've learned to avoid this place the next time we visit Niagara Falls. Two stars is still a bit generous and I don't want to badmouth a restaurant completely over one visit, but it's my lowest rating out of any establishment at the time of this post.

This place was pretty good for an outdoor buffet. The nice warm pita bread they bring to your table is just right, and I think the little sparrow that I threw a few pieces to also would concur. The lentils were divine and the chicken with just the right amount of heat from the curry was excellent. Now as much as I love buffets for what they are, I have never seen one for Indian food so of course I was elated. BUT, what I didn't like (and maybe this is the reason they get 3 stars), was that I did notice that the same paper plates were used every time someone would go up to serve themselves another plate. I did ask and the waiter did say I could use the same plate, but working for the Health Department, I quickly let him know, "I would rather use a new plate thank you". He did let me do that, but by than my appetite starting changing since I am really funny with people touching the utensils to their plates. Sorry, but this is why you get 3 stars, but the food was a good (less than 7) selections. Not a bad spot for a quick bite.

Typical tourist trap…read more This place is now called Village of India From the cashier counter, where you prepay for the buffet, you can see two steam tables toward the back of the fairly large room. After paying, I discovered that only one of the tables was in use, and then only a fairly small selection of foods, and that mediocre at best. I think you are meant to mistakenly believe that the selection is much larger than it is. For $12.99 for lunch at other Indian restaurants (in Corning for example) I have found a much wider selection of dishes that were much tastier and I did not have to eat off of cheap paper plates. It is clear that this place does not expect you to ever come back again, and their food and ambiance shows it.
