Golden Boar is a Ukrainian restaurant in the Huntingdon Valley Marketplace shopping center. From…read morethe outside, it may look like a regular strip mall restaurant. But inside is something really special. In my experience, it isn't very easy to find Ukrainian restaurants in the U.S. (certainly several in New York), and so I was thrilled to find Golden Boar. And it lived up to all my hopes and expectations. First of all - strip mall from the front, but it's all charm and coziness inside. The decor includes lots of photographs and beautiful table coverings - but the highlight of the interior is their play on the Ukrainian Pich (stove). What looks like a beautiful, traditional Pich is an opening and passthrough to the kitchen. It adds such charm and character to the space. But onto the food. I happen to love Ukrainian food, so we were excited and hungry and knew we would order too much food and have leftovers for later. We ordered and shared: Yushka (a porcini mushroom broth served with mushroom dumplings and a huge chicken meatball) with a garlic bun on the side on the recommendation of our server; Huliash (stewed beef with potato dumplings, and prunes); herring (with egg salad, boiled beet, and onions); and potato and cheese varenyky with cracklings). I would order and eat every bite again. And I wish I'd had more room to finish our plates and order a dessert! (Looking back, we should have brought friends with us just so we could order and share more of the menu)! The staff are friendly, and the service was wonderful and fast. Just a really wonderful meal that I'd be happy to repeat in the future! I think it's really special.

Many disgusting violations were noted in Tandoori's most recent health inspection reports (click…read morethe screenshots). This review is for the three adjoining Tandoori businesses in the same shopping center (Bakery, Grill, and Grill Market). I have seen, heard, and smelled huge rats by the back doors of all three businesses when I walked behind the shopping center, hence the failed health inspections as proven above. I have found traces of dirt and other contaminants in the food, which was also suggested by the health inspectors' findings. The meat is very fatty; it should be called "fat", not "meat"! The meat can also sometimes be spoiled. The bread is oily and too hard (stale?). The vegetables are usually great. But everything is grossly overpriced. And some items are way too salty, as if the chef is trying to cover up the bad flavors by adding too much salt? The three stores themselves are beautiful, new, modern, and clean looking (although the above-noted health inspection reports prove otherwise). The prices actually charged are often higher than advertised (classic bait-and-switch). Some staff members are rude, slow, and/or impatient. And good luck at communicating with them if you do not fluently speak their native language. I believe that Tandoori survives only because their customers are uninformed foreigners who believe that boiled rat is a delicacy! NOTE TO YELP: I am a real consumer trying to inform other real consumers. Please do not delete this honest, sincere review just to be politically correct. The truth hurts!

It's a small bakery that also sells prepackaged to go containers (cold to warm up at home). We came here for lamb samsa, plov, golbski, and lamb manti. Reasonable priced, good portions and delicious. Plov was probably my favorite, well seasoned and fatty and yum! Next time I'm in the area, I'd definitely try their other dishes and baked goods.

Great Eastern/Central European and Russian produce market. There are many type of prepared foods…read morehere from whitefish salad, to many different veggie salads, to fried fish, to chicken and turkey patties, to savory and sweet pastries. Many of the ready to eat offering s are prepared in the stores kitchen by authentic cooks representing the various regions. I am here an average of once a week to supplement any cooking we do at home with fresh made salads, such as their Korean Carrot salad, their seaweed salad, and especially the smoked turkey lunch meat, as I cannot find this type of smoked turkey in any local supermarket. My kids love their puff pastries stuffed with ground chicken or potatoes. These make for a great snack or quick breakfast before school. Out of all the same type stores in our region, and there are plenty of them, Holland tends to be the freshest, make the best food, and offer the highest quality best tasting prepared foods. They are not the cheapest but for me they offer the best value. At times some of the staff can be, let's say, less than pleasant (hence the star off), especially if you don't know what you want or they have a tough time communicating with non Russian speaking patrons. However, I would not be too intimidated to come here if you don't speak Russian. Most of the signs are in English and you can point to what you want and tell them how much (just like a deli in any supermarket). I know I do that at Asian markets where I don't speak the language. As for being too sensitive to some of their personality (again, not often, but I have experienced it too), try not to be too sensitive, you are here for the food, which is well worth it. At those times, just pretend you are in NYC. They have a nice bread section here. Many times the breads are still warm from baking- yum! Many breads get delivered from Brooklyn too, If the whole loaf of bread is not too warm, you can take it to the counter and they will gladly slice it for you. This store has extensive candy, desert, jarred and pickled veggies from around Eastern Europe as well as farmers cheeses and European juices. All in all, please don't be intimidated to come here. If you have a difficult time with the language, ask for one of the managers and have them assist you. You will not regret the quality of foods offered here and you will most likely!

We were looking for suzani restaurant when we accidently stepped into suzani palace…read more Suzani palace isnt anything special, yet their dishes were a bit pricey. We got a few to try - the liver appetizer, eggplant salad, lagman and bread. - The Turkish liver was cooked and seasoned well. - The eggplant was warm and tossed in a cold salad. I liked it. The oil was surprisingly flavor ful. - The lagman portions were small for the price paid. It was also SO oily and could use a bit more salt. Flavors were not bad otherwise. - The bread was $3.50 for a small portion that I'm pretty sure I could get for much cheaper from the bakery next door. Given there are so many other places of the same cuisine around, I probably wont be making it back here for a while. Maybe one day I'll give it another shot.

This was Tashkent until another owner bought the place and from what I gathered from the waitress,…read morethe new owner extended the place to have a dance floor and additional tables. Upon entering the foyer, there were two doors. It was not immediately clear as to which one I should proceed thru, I chose the door that said "NO SMOKING" and it took me into a nicely decorated dining room. The waitress was a nice enough young lady with somewhat limited English skills. She could take our orders but it was difficult to have a more detailed conversation about the food. For example, I was concerned about the the Khachapuri (cheese filled bread) that I had preordered. Sometimes, this bread is served with a raw egg on top. I did not want this and spoke to the waitress about it. She seemed to understand what I was talking about. However when it was served, there was no raw or cooked egg on top to be worried about whatsoever. We specifically went to Oasis to try their Chicken Tabaka (small chicken fried in garlic). It was very good in that it was juicy, had a lot of flavor, and had a nice, crunchy sear. We had the Achuk-chuk (tomato and onion salad), delicious, Eel salad (basic spring mix salad with "sushi" eel and sauce on the side, ok/basic. We also ordered the Armeninan Eggplant salad but it never came out. We weren't charged for it either, so the order must have been lost in translation. If you like cheese, you'll like the Khachapuri as it was more cheese than bread. My group liked it a lot. We then had the rice pilaf with beef and lamb, chicken heart kabob, the ground lamb kabob, and samsa (baked "dumpling" w/ lamb and partially cooked onions). All were tasty. I'd like to go back and try their other dumplings/pierogies, soups, and more kabobs. The samsa, chicken tabaka, rice pilaf with beef and lamb, Khachapuri, and Achuk-chuk were our favorites. BYOB

First time here was a winner!…read more Sometimes you just have a craving for lamb or chicken on rice, with that addictive white and hot sauce. This place delivered just that in my generously portioned combo over rice order. A few tables on the interior provide a space to enjoy their nicely spiced protein or grain with rice, salad and pita offerings. I, however, took mine to my destination-about 35 minutes away, and it remained warm and ready to eat. The person taking and delivering my order was pleasant, and I wouldn't hesitate to return when I feel for this type of food again. Everything tasted fresh, well seasoned and well cooked.

I used to be around this area alot due to Sesame Place, Carrabba's, Giant(used to be 24 hours), etc.... so I'm quite familiar with this area. Found this place on Google map because I was looking for beef kababs platter. And for some reason, most kabab places around NE Philly either doesn't carry it or charges $40 and up for it. I want a platter but I don't want to burn a hole in my wallet lol. I always get the Beef Tikka Kabab platter and the Frinee. If I want two meals out of it, I would just order a single skewer of Tikka Kabab. Now that's enough for me to get two meals out of it. I don't know what are the sauces call, but one is red and the other is green. The green sauce is kinda tangy, which tastes great to add on the rice. The red spicy sauce is perfect for the kabab, not overly spicy or bland, just perfect amount of heat. I try to get the Frinee every time I order, but sometimes they are in stock and some times they are sold out. Usually I would keep my fingers crossed for the Frinee lol. Last but not least, they have different drinks in the fridge. I love restaurants that carry the unusual drinks. The only con about this place is I lived kinda far, so I stop by whenever I'm in the area.
