Store is tiny and it's a tight squeeze with customers coming and going. I know this is not the owner's fault but some of his customers are seriously high-maintenance who take up lots of time when checking out. I went in for roti, rusks and mogo (cassava) today and stood in line for 20 mins. while two aunties debated whether they needed this or that and how much was this and that. The owner is very polite and patiently listened ... while everyone in line was doing a slow burn. This place specializes in spices, a range of snacks and has everything you need for Indian or Pakistani cooking. His prices are quite reasonable. Almost everything in his shop is imported from South Asia. I saw some fresh paan leaves which had just come in off the plane, from India.

He told me he was "about to eat" before serving a customer (who was also not wearing one). He should have put it back on when the customer came in. He then got other customers to yell at me, when all I did was call him out on something illegal he did. Will post pictures.

Mercator Euro Mini Mart is located inside a strip mall on Sheppard near the 404. No way you can see…read moreit when you drove by.. because they have no storefront facing Sheppard... I would not have gone in if not I was having lunch just across from it. The selections of the Mini Mart is almost all European grocery and good item.. from Poland, Turkey, Romania just to name a few... It was fun browsing around and see all the different items that is not commonly seen in the bigger supermarket. There is also a hot food area where you can order something quick and eat in or to take out. There are just a couple of smaller tables but seems to be quite busy with people working in the area to come and get a quick bite. Vienna Schnitzel on a bun ($5.99) - Freshly made by order and it took around 5-10 min for it to be ready (she warned me when I was ordering) - The sandwich is sizable, I ended up sharing that with my coworker - The Schnitzel itself is moist and tender... dare I said a little juicy too... The staffs here are nice and friendly, young lady that took my order has such a nice smile... :)

Cool grocery store for European goods.

They had a refrigerated case for desserts: baklava, krembita, oblanda, and bombice. Yes, of course I had to try something from their hot table. There was a little bit of a language barrier so it was easier to gesture, point and nod. They no longer serve free coffee with their lunch menu so the entrees themselves are priced at $6.99. After you order your food, you have a seat at one of their several dining tables (they also have two small tables outside) and they will bring your food to you; you pay at the cash register when you're done. I had the musaka (the woman that took my order said it was like shepherd's pie) which was a large portion. There was minced meat and egg on the bottom layer and sliced potatoes and cheese on the top. It was very filling and I liked the taste, but it was way too oily and the potatoes were overcooked and mushy. My hubby had the cevapi (looked liked breakfast sausages) sandwich. It had 5 pieces (you can order 10) that were grilled to order and tasty. I tried a piece of his sandwich and thought the cevapi would be perfect for breakfast or cooked with pasta. They had cevapi in the refrigerated section so that you could take it home and cook it yourself. The bread used in the sandwich was spongy and greasy, not very appealing. This is the place to go if you want to try different food items from Europe. Not the warmest of staff, maybe it's a cultural thing. At least the younger woman tried to crack a smile by the time we left and wished us a good day.

First time coming here, you can pick from their sashimi in the fridge, they all have weight it by…read morethe amount. The prices went from $12-$27 for the salmon from what I saw. Decided to pick the more expensive cut because it looked the best :P For terms of flavour, SO SO good the salmon tasted very fresh, & fatty. Would definitely get again! They will also slice/dice for you for as well and if you want sushi rice they charge $3 for it. service was super fast. They sell tuna, fatty tuna, scallop, uni, etc as well in the fridge but they do have sets rolls if you are into as well. They sell japanese snacks and frozen goods as well. Parking was free, take out only, no restroom. Ambiance was jsut a nice causal market vibes.

The store is a pretty decent size where you are able to find your favourite Japanese pantry items, frozen foods, and prepared sashimi. There is also a menu you can order from where your sushi is made fresh. The store is clean and can get busy at times as they have fresh sushi. The store is well-lit and organized. During my time there I bought some Japanese pasta sauce as well as an already premade chirashi bowl. Although it was busy, the cashiers and staff were efficient. I saw that there were also people picking up sushi platters, likely something they preordered before. Overall, a great Japanese store selling a variety of items as well as fresh sushi!

I go to Marcy's for their marinated meat skewers. I first learned about them from a friend's BBQ…read more First time trying them will make you go like, "These are so good, where did you get them?!" Someone is bound to ask. Needless to say I was one of those people lol. Ever since then, I go to Marcy's to pick up skewers every BBQ chance I get. During peak BBQ season, you can call a day ahead to reserve and they will happily do that for you.

A lot more fresh and the service is warmer and friendlier. Maybe the season of Christmas is upon us! No? Too early? Bah, whateverrrr!!! And yess!! I'm addicted to their homemade vinegar which they sell at this joint, perfectly spiced with the right amount of sweetness and tang, perfect for your springrolls and other 'vinegar dipping worthy' eats at home.

This is the quintessential local butcher. They run a nice operation and actually have sides of…read morevarious types of meat hanging in their fridges. They feature meat that is at least AA and mostly AAA. It is well-aged and nicely presented. They will naturally trim and cut according to directions. This place is at least on a par with Bruno's, but with lower than Costco prices. It started off as a Greek butcher and deli. It is still operating as that, with a lot of Greek and Mediterranean offerings. They have had a change in ownership in the last year, but have remained true to their pedigree. At Thanksgiving they feature fresh free-range grain fed turkeys. I am not generally a turkey fan, but last year bought one and it was outstanding. We use this place for a variety of steaks, especially my favourite skirt steak. Their trimming skills are non-pareil and they are truly nice and helpful. You must try their souvlaki brochettes. They are meaty and very reasonably priced. They naturally also carry a nice selection of cheeses and some deli, with a garlic head cheese being the star of the bunch. And you can peruse the aisles for all kind of specialties....A lot of fun and really good 'eats'.

At Tone Tai Supermarket in Peanut Plaza, you can expect a solid lineup of produce and a tempting…read morearray of snacks, all reasonably priced. You'll find the selection broad enough to keep your pantry happy. However, venture towards the meats and seafood, and there's a distinct aroma that wafts from these sections, and let's just say it's more deterrent than inviting. It's the kind of smell that makes you reconsider buying. So, while the supermarket scores points for snacks and veggies, it might not be your go-to for "fresh" fish or steak. Also, pretty impossible to track down someone working, so hold your questions.

Crammed to the brim with tons of delectable eats, pastes, spices, huge variety of dried and fresh mushrooms, drinks, noodles, sweet and savoury treats. The meat section is SPOTLESS. It's one of the very few butchers in Toronto which sells fresh, not previously frozen goat. Lots of variety and good prices. The fish counter too is spotless and they have regular specials. Gleaming beautiful FRESH fish and no "fishy" smell. Chinese New Year and Têt decorations abounded including festive, happy music. Tons of sweets from Vietnam (exactly the same as I saw when I visited Vietnam), cookies, savoury snacks - DROOL. This store has items from Japan, Korea, PRC, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia. The produce counter is impressive. They have everything here including red Vietnamese dragon fruit for a reasonable price. "Furry" squash, fresh aloe, lotus root ... all those delectable Asian delights. Love this store. Always busy.
