I was happy to visit this specialty food store last week, a Russian grocery located on Dutch…read moreVillage Road, near Boneheads BarBQ and Mexico Lindo. The staff are very friendly and I had a good time chatting with them. The store is clean and well kept, and there is a really good variety of Russian groceries on the shelves, as well as some from Poland and Israel. There is also a frozen section including Russian ice cream and perogy dumplings, as well as a deli counter. The prices are good too, not too expensive. If you are wondering what to buy, I can recommend the Russian chocolates, which you can buy by the piece and are attractively wrapped in pretty papers. There is a whole wall devoted to Russian chocolates! Their baked goods and deli items also look delicious. They store has their own ovens and they do catering too. Check out their Facebook page to see lots of yummy Russian food pictures and a few recipes https://www.facebook.com/yummydeli.halifax

I have only been in this deli once and sunflower oil was expired and they also sold me a very bad…read moresmelling sausage which surely expired as well. I understand it is hard to sell high-quality goods because it probably takes 4-6 months to ship them from Russia, but come on, how can you sell expired food, this is not Russia! I stopped coming here and, of course, I miss Russian food, but I'd better make my own perogies and eat Canadian food than buy expired overpriced food here.

Well...under newish management but service is no better. Ordered salads at the counter and I was…read moregiven a smaller size than what I requested. Was told 'no no no you paid for this size'. Never did I say I was not willing to pay for larger size. Server just looked at me as I was somewhat dumbfounded. By his comments. Someone else suggested another small and I just said ok.

We were craving food other than seafood, and found this Italian market on Yelp that offered several…read moremeal options to go. The reviews were good, but now I'm realizing they're probably based on the market and not the meals. I ordered the lasagna for $9.95 and it tasted like it had been previously frozen. You get what you pay for! It was actually lukewarm when I opened it, so I had to nuke it. It lacked flavor, to say the least. Hubby said the spaghetti with meatballs was also average, at best. The caprese salad that he ordered was the worst he's ever had. If you look at the photo of the salad, you can see that the tomatoes aren't even ripe. They also gave the wrong dressing for this salad. Typically it comes with balsamic dressing but they gave us Italian dressing instead. Next time we'll stick with an Italian restaurant.

Their prices are higher than the bigger supermarkets but their quality is excellent - for meat and produce. They do have a front area by the entrance where you can get a variety of food to eat in or takeaway. The special sandwich of the week is always a winner.

Vic and his staff can cook up a great menu nothing deep fried all grilled and healthy. From a breakfast egger with fresh coffee to scrambled eggs, toast and fruit. Lunch time home cooked specials are always displayed in the hallway but the smells throught the building always give it away and leave you hungry. Lasagna and garlic bread with salad is my FAV! you can either take it to go or eat in and enjoy the crowd. Great helping and great prices allow this to be a great spot to get away for a homecooked meal. Stop by and see Vic and the crew.

The only bad thing I can say is that they…read moreclose too soon and at the end of the day the lasagna was a little dry, but still better than most. I tasted home made. Most mornings, I had coffee, they had flavoured, light, medium, dark, etc. I just bought mine here instead of Tim's because it was better and I had a choice. As a traveller I appreciated the packets of oatmeal, yogurt, carrots and other veg. The muffins were the best. Everything is al La crate. But that's fine, they made me a sandwich, it was good. Had a bit of a language/communication problem with the cashier. I think it was just that she was still training and learning the menu and how things are served. I appreciate a place like this near the hotel. I don't always feel like a big expensive breakfast snd this place hit the spot with yogurt, toast , hot table items. The owner/manager was helpful. I'd recommend if you are in the area or passing by. It's close to the Barrington hotel and is accessible by a walkway over the street.

The fact that I haven't done a review for Mama Gratti's yet is mind blowing. I love this place;…read morethere have been weeks where I went four mornings in a row... okay, maybe I shouldn't admit that. Located in Scotia Square Mall, Mana Gratti's is like mini-mart version of Subway, only way better - and locally owned/operated. They have a variety of pre-made, quick and easy, sandwiches and salads for you to grab and go OR you can walk up to the sandwich bar and have it your way, again, much like Subway. I've only ever had their breakfast sandwiches, on bread or on a bagel (they have a lot of different bagel options) they're always delicious and filling. With egg, bacon/ham/sausage, cheese and 3 veggie toppings for around $4.00 you can't go wrong. I recommend their red pepper mayo - delicious! This place is slammin' in the morning! It can get overwhelming with the crowd/line-up of people, but I'm usually in and out of their pretty quickly.
