The variety of product and ready made food is overwhelming, but so exciting. The space is bright and clean, but overcrowded - it gets pretty daunting trying to work your way through all the aisles at a leisurely pace without jostling into someone (I heard myself saying "excuse me" a lot). The prices are pretty reasonable, and I really wished I lived closer. There are just so many freaking things to try - I guess I'll just have to come back lol. read more

I used to absolutely love this place, but things have shifted in a negative direction and I felt compelled to write about it. The meat prices used to be extremely attractive, and they have probably gone up 50% to 60% over the past 8 to 12 weeks. At the chicken or lamb over rice station, the container has shrunk down in size by roughly 40%. It does taste pretty good, but is now more expensive than chipotle, fluffies, or any chicken over rice food truck in the city. On our most recent visit last weekend, the new container is so small that there is hardly any rice in our chicken over rice dish. And it now costs almost $11 per pound after tax. Yes, I weighed the food and the container. Fluffies, for example, which I am not affiliated with at all, is a much better deal than Tashkent. At Fluffies I am paying roughly $6.75 per pound of food, and it is extremely delicious. The salad bar is still has an amazing selection, but it is $11-$21 per pound, depending on what you get. That is whole food prices! Overall Tashkent used to be a tremendous value, and now it is average. I can get average anywhere in the city. This has ruined it for me. And I'm pretty much done with it. read more

Tashkent Supermarket - $16.40 for 635 grams of food net. It's not a value and it's not exceptional so why bother. - International Grocery Near Me - New York, New York

Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, is the most populous city in Central Asia, and this market manages to pack an impressive amount into its aisles, though mostly dominated by their incredible hot bar. They took over a former Walgreens space, so it's not huge for a supermarket but they have a robust hot buffet and salad bar, and it's especially packed on weekends with people coming for the plov and golubtsi. When the food is this good, you brave the crowds. Prices run high, like a carton of blueberries is nearly $10, so I'd stick to shopping elsewhere for everyday staples. But there's a lot here you simply can't get unless you make a trip to Brighton Beach, and if you're anything like me, your eyes will get bigger than your stomach. So much looks amazing. I'm actually glad it's busy, because the turnover is constant and nothing sits out for long. The spread is impressive: salads galore, excellent plov, chicken sausage prepared so many ways. One of my favorite discoveries was golubtsi, which is cabbage stuffed with chicken sausage and full of flavor. Another highlight was a salad made with charred, fried eggplant, each piece fresh and crispy. One thing to know before you go is that every buffet item is priced differently, and you're asked not to mix items in the same container, otherwise you'll be charged by weight for the most expensive thing in it. If you're a sampler like me, you'll end up with a whole stack of containers: two dumplings here, a little plov there, a scoop of salad in another. It's a little unwieldy and i wish for them to come up with a better system. This is a smaller version of the larger market in Brighton Beach or Forest Hills, but if that's too far a trek, we've got one right here in the city. read more

A gem in the West Village. Friends told me about this place and i finally checked it out. All the food is Halal and fresh. Friendly staff and very clean. Place is always packed. To avoid the crowd I recommend delivery but you gotta at least go there one time. Everything is home made or imported. The beef, lamb and chicken gyros are to die for. The desserts well, you gotta have will power! Highly recommend... read more

Who knew a grocery store counter could have such good food! Of course, Tashkent is no ordinary grocery store. Maybe half the store if not more is occupied by buffet bars with a vast array of hot and cold prepared foods and desserts from a surprising number of cuisines (I saw a sushi casserole and Indian-style curry among them). But you're probably coming for the Central Asian/Eastern European food, and that's what I went for. I first knew I had to get a slice of the medovyk, or honey cake, after having it at Veselka once and loving it. Then I went for the plov, which is a personal favorite of mine and also perhaps Tashkent's most famous dish. The plov isn't self-serve like the other dishes, perhaps so people don't just take the meat and leave the rice behind, but the workers take care to give you a fair balance of meat, veggies, and rice. I saw that the usual serving containers for the plov were quite big for my appetite and requested a smaller cup, which the worker behind the counter graciously accommodated. The checkout line moves fast and altogether my lunch and dessert only cost $12. Be aware that if you accept a bag it's an extra charge and one of those big hulking tote bags, and for my small takeout meal I should have went without. There doesn't appear to be seating but Washington Square Park is a short walk away if it's a nice day. The plov was delicious and easily among the best I had. You get a generous portion of tender slow-cooked meat that you can tear apart with a spoon, and even the rice is so flavorful you won't mind eating every grain. The cake was also just as I hoped, moist and creamy with a clear honey flavor without being too sweet. If I lived or worked nearby, I'd be happy to be a regular at Tashkent! read more

Don't go here unless you want to be insulted by the manager. As I was scooping the bottom of a salad tray to get salad dressing, he came up to me and warned me that if I did that, he would charge me double for the salad. Man, I don't need this crap, even if the prices are reasonable. read more

I stumbled onto this place after I had lunch in West Village and was just walking around. I always like to check out specialty food markets, so I went in to take a peek. Wow, I was overwhelmed with the extensive selection of cold & hot bar options and bakery delights. They offer central Asian, Slavic, Turkish, and Soviet foods. It was all rows and rows of eye candy to me! I mentally marked this place to grab lunch next time & take to nearby Washington Square Park to eat and watch the romping mix of humanity that runs through that fun park. read more

Tashkent Supermarket - I can confirm all delicious and would get again, particularly the Honey Cake w Condensed Milk (you had me at Condensed Milk) - International Grocery Near Me - New York, New York

Would be higher rated but a lot of the hot foods were extremely cold, including the meats, sesame chicken, manti, and syrniki. Hoping this was an off day when we visited (Saturday 2/28) and would love to come again, because the selection of food seemed great, and other than the coldness seemed delicious. The Uyghur noodles and some rices were great. The raspberry napoleon cake was amazing! It was pretty crowded on a Saturday afternoon, but the check out line moves fast. Nowhere to eat in the market, but Washington square park is nearby. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and finally made it last week. There has never been a store with a more appealing food buffet. All the foods look extremely aesthetically pleasing. Makes you just wanna try everything. I took a stroll around the entire store to get the lay of the land while simultaneously making mental notes of what I might get. I ended up with a bit of everything to try. My standouts were the mini dumplings and beef kebab. The rest of my haul was decent. Didn't love the pastries. Buckwheat bread was good. The prices were reasonable. Will def return to try more things. read more

Waited so long for this market to open and I had no idea this would be plov heaven in the city! The salad bar, bakery, plov, everything was amazing and the selection is graaaaand. Absolutely enjoyed everything here. Hardest part was selecting enough variety in one-go (best kind of challenges lol). But really, the plov is on-point. I've been to Uzbekistan and had all sorts of plov and this was the closest and most authentic I could find in the city (haven't ventured out to queens or bk to try). Service is quick and friendly. But my goodness the selection is amazing here. Loved it all. Great job guys! read more

There is a lot of hot food abd easy pick up options here. I got a piece of roast beef, beef samsa and chicken plov. There are so many food options. It's nothing overwhelming and exciting. The roast beef was tasty: hot, salty and soft with a light bite to it. The beef samsa was cold but the bread of it was tasty. It was crispy, flaky and layered. It wasn't stuffed with meat but it was a good amount. A bit salty but a good snack. I would get it again. It's a clean big supermarket. No special decorations but I like the layout. Service was fine. Some staff friendlier than others. I do wish their was more organization with the line but it's a tight area. Would come again and but some new products. read more

European butters priced at under $6. Small loaves of multigrain breads at $1.75. This was Tashkent Supermarket which opened earlier this year. Age and I went to see it and were pleasantly surprised by the prices and quality of this Uzbek market. From vegetables to diary, biscuits and the array of freshly prepared foods we had not seen such a spread. Both of us bought a few items. I liked the butters as I like to bake. Service was friendly and efficient. On the next visit, I made a beeline for the butters again and the breads. I wish I lived nearer so this would be easier to shop. However with the tariffs I wonder if the prices are still so low? read more

I'm a fan of Tashkent! Right off the West 4th St subway stop, Tashkent is a grocery store that sells a variety of ready to eat foods and grocery items. I've tried many of their hot and cold foods, and some of my favorites include the plov (rice dish) and salmon salad (like salmon poke with rice and avocado). The mini dumplings are pretty good as well though they are a little oily. The workers are helpful if you have any questions or want to know what the ingredients are. The store is pretty clean as well. No seating inside though but very close to Washington Square Park for a nice outdoor picnic. read more

I'm obsessed with this supermarket! I'd gone to the one in Brighton Beach before and always wished it were more conveniently located, so it's great to have this new location in the West Village. I'm slowly working my way through the food in the hot and cold food bar (lots of salads and different items at $9.99/lb but some things are individually priced and fish dishes are a bit higher). I thought the fried eggplant salad was delicious. And the food is constantly being replenished. The salads truly look amazing and fresh and are piled in big heaps. The lamb plov was also great--the staff member serving me gave me a decent amount of lamb on top of the rice and carrots (1.6 pounds at $9.99/lb--small size) although the lamb was underseasoned and could've been more tender. Still good though! And thankfully, the rice and carrots+chickpeas were seasoned well so if you eat the lamb with it, it helps season the lamb. I've also tried the pistachio crepe cake for $9.99. A bit pricey but it's a big slice! I would've loved a little more cream but it was quite tasty. Didn't have much pistachio flavor other than the pistachios on top but I'd rather that than almond extract or something. Their produce is also quite decently priced--I can see having this spot as my regular grocery store if I lived in the neighborhood! I'm looking forward to trying more of their homemade cakes ($13.99/lb) and their smoked fish and their shawarma and basically everything, haha. read more

This is the BEST grocery store in NYC. The food bar is outstanding and super fresh. They have a ton of options. At $9.99/pound I got vareniki, pelmeni, seafood salad, funchoza noodles, chicken thighs. Great way to try Central Asian and Russian delicacies. If you're not a fan of open food bars, they have a section of prepackaged cold salads like Korean carrot salad, beet salad, oyster mushroom salad, etc. Must try is Chebureki! They're pastries with meat, or cheese or potato/mushrooms.. kind of like empanadas but so much better. If you're a caviar fan, they have multiple options in type and size. Peter Pan is the best quality but also has a matching price tag. And the cured fish section is rich. I'm jealous of people who live steps away from Tashkent. I'm sure they're never hungry. read more

Such a bright spot on the corner of West 4th station that's normally quite dingy - this supermarket is warm and inviting and you immediately feel at home when you enter. It was bustling when I visited on a Friday at 9PM and there was so many people ordering made to order wraps, as well as people choosing from the widest range of hot and chilled foods I've seen in a while. My absolute favorite Uzbek dish is lamb plov and I wanted to grab some samsas and other prepared foods but I had already had dinner and needed to prioritize the plov! You have to ring a bell to get their attention but then you can just let them know which protein and how much ($9.99 per pound). He didn't really seem to hear me but I ended up with 1.24lbs for $12.39. I brought it home to try and it was a 10/10! So flavorful with the stewed veggies and you can add a hard boiled egg at home. I could def see 1lb being 2 portions. I'll definitely be back! read more

It's all about the buffets & hopefully less rules than Brooklyn & happy they're here. read more

Absolutely a SUPER market! A fan of the Brighton Beach Tashkent Supermarket, excited to finally shop at this closer W. Village location. While it's about 1/4 the size of the original store, the Tashkent Supermarket team has wisely curated a selection of delicious items, mostly not widely available in Manhattan, that range from tasty affordable, less expensive fare to more gourmet like a range of smoked fish and caviar. Check out their exceptional freshly prepared foods that span ethnic cuisines from Eastern Europe to Central Asia (not only from Tashkent like your Buvi - a.k.a. Uzbek grandmother - used to make), as well as some Indian items! You'll want to get there earlier than later, because (as I experienced with their soups seeking their house borscht and lagman to take home) when they run out for the day you'll have to come back tomorrow! Savory baked selection includes Burekas, Georgian style Khachapuri with Cheese, Bichak, and awesome Kutabi, i.e., an Azerbaijani pancake filled with greens and herbs. You'll also find Mantu and Pelmeni ready to go! Buffet items sold by the pound include Beef Brisket and Homemade NY Strip Loin, various Chicken dishes, Tashkent Style Norin, multiple Salmon and Basa options, Stuffed Peppers and Cabbage, Dolmas, non-meat options, and assorted salads. They even have beautifully prepared whole Branzini for $15.99. Pre-packaged items included blintzes and reasonably priced gourmet sandwiches. Did I mention their fantastic Homemade Pickled Tomatoes and Cabbage? And Sour Pickles to gobble down at $2.99 per lb.? Not everything in Tashkent's prepared foods has a description of what's in it, (something I suggest they add,) so you may have to do a search. For example, I took home the colorful Shuba Salad, layered with hard boiled egg crumbles and beet and mayo filling to discover one of the other ingredients is herring - although not a problem for me! You'll find unusual imported cheeses and cold cuts, perfect for Tashkent's exceptional fresh breads, which they can slice in store for you! The delicious Darnitskiy Mini Bread (see pic) I bought reminded me of Finnish rye breads that I love - dense and sour! Plus their Homemade Pastries look perfect for a sweet tooth! Tashkent also has a worthwhile produce section to visit and a good dairy section! (Yes, they even have eggs in stock, albeit pricey.) Their center aisle shelves also include imported items, like Ukrainian Borsch actually made in Ukraine - Slava Ukraini! All in all, don't just take my word... explore Tashkent Supermarket yourself! If you go in hungry, you should certainly find something worthwhile to enjoy! read more

Was dying to come here and try the hot bar! it was a bit overhelming for a few reasons: 1. so many unique dishes I have never seen in my life! good portion of things unlabeled, not only does this leave the ingredients up for interpretation but also the price. it was hard to spend time being curious as the store was full and tightly packed. 2. my biggest disappointment was that you can't mix and match in the buffet! I was ready to go all out with a taste of everything but the idea of packing up any more than 3 separate plastic tupperwares seemed really wasteful and cumbersome. I thought this would be like any other hot bar and I could create a whole plate to delightfully sample but no. 3. this is a pro/con: staff was very visible in the store cleaning the hot bar, replacing items, organizing back on shelves. it's amazingly clean and that's the reason. but this really adds to the cramped feeling of the store. I was eager to get out asap which is a shame because I would've LOVED to explore in depth. maybe a different day of the week would be better. I ended up getting their neptune salad, spinach mandi and eggplant roll up and a delightful cake - everything was exceptional read more

Stumbled upon this amazing market out of the F subway. I saw pastries at the window and that drew me in. Amazing food buffet with variety of middle eastern/euro food... salmon dishes for $15/lb, various food and salads for $9.99/lb...and I saw manti!! I tried a beef bilyashi because $3.49 what I thought was a great deal. Disappointed to find that it is mostly bread with 15% meat, and it was cold. I wonder if there would be a way to heat it. Will definitely be back Next time to try the buffet food. I went around lunch time so the store was extremely crowded. Tip: do not go during peak meal hours. read more

Delicious and interesting hot and cold food items. Cranberry nut bread was amazing. Get Plov made to order and the dumplings are sooo good!

The opening of Tashkent fundamentally changed how everyone views this corner of W 4th. Although the space is comically tight, the hot bar is state of the art. It's the best hot bar that I've found so far in the city. There are plenty of reasonably-priced high protein options here, as well as countless central Asian delicacies. The prices at the meat counter are also worth coming down to check out the place. read more

Great location, right above a subway stop too, lol. Upon entering, I thought I was in a Muslim country. The supermarket is super clean!

Minor side notes: The plov guys just like the other spots have a habit of overstuffing your bowl with rice/you get more than a pound. Make sure to tell them otherwise. I'm curious the number of people who are going to this new location who have been the ones in Brighton Beach/the surrounding area. For those who haven't, in short this is an Uzbek store mostly known for their hot food and cold food self serve section. For those who have, I have a few comparisons. It is of course much smaller than the original location though I can't imagine the rent if they were to open up a store the size of essentially a whole block and with less of a population who would get food from here so it makes sense. As it is smaller, they have of course cut down some things compared to the original. There is much less of a dessert section which is unfortunate as I'm a big fan of their various or more specifically their Medovik and assorted Smetannik. I would have preferred this over the large deli section which basically matches the one in the Brooklyn location. This spot is also missing the Khe, an Uzbek/Central Asian version of hwe/Korean fermented fish from the other spot but I'm not surprised at all this is missing as this is a more specialized delicacy. I'm happy that the prices essentially match the Brooklyn location half expecting everything to be a couple bucks more as it's well in the Village. My favorite thing in the other location by a mile are the various plov/pilaf/osh and very specifically the one that comes from the large kazan/giant pots which you can find here in-between the breads and the other hot food. My preferred type in the other spot among the many options is the one labeled as Samarkand Plov. Here, they simply have a beef plov and a lamb one and both are pretty generously price at $9.99. However as noted, their little habit of giving way too much rice even when you just for 1 pound of food is apparent still and I left with $16 worth of food instead of $10 which was annoying and I presume someone is going to get mad sooner or later. Along with the plov, I would recommend also asking for one of the roasted garlics and a pepper if wanted which adds an extra delicious flavor. The most popular part otherwise which matches the other location are the other hot food such as the kabobs/shish (or rather shashlik) which I've heard are solid and there is a lack of good kabobs outside of carts around this neighborhood. Otherwise I have tried some of the foods so far from the buffet areas. My favorite thing is the Veal Tongue Salad, more commonly known in many spots as Tashkent Salad, which I think was $10 a pound. This has radish, onion, sliced tongue, mayo, fried onions, sliced carrot, and a few other things. Don't knock it till you try it and they make a pretty solid one especially for the price and the lack of Central Asian restaurants in Manhattan outside of Tam Tov and Farida. The obligatory Potatoes With Mushroom are tasty here albeit a bit oily and if you want to try something else unique specifically from Uzbekistan, they also have Narin for $12.95, a mixture of noodles and sliced meat which I presume is beef or lamb (as I presume they don't use horse here.) Otherwise, the Samsa; a mixture of meat and onion within a fried bread, are excellent. If this was the location in Brighton Beach, I'd point out that there would be many spots to get better versions of these dishes, but with the lack of options and with the good price point, I would recommend this place. Low 4 (while the other spots are a mid/low 3.) read more

This is a Turkish grocery store that I was informed just opened about a year ago. The options of exotic and delicious hot food items were just wow. So many choices. They also have a deli, bread bakery section, frozen section, and a few aisles in between. A grocery cart was difficult to navigate there because it was so packed when we went. With that written, the store is organized, clean, and they fit in a lot in the space. The only thing missing was imported Turkish potato chips, but their Turkish ice cream made up for that. :) read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting this location. I like the supermarket in Brooklyn- Tashkent Brighton Beach. Everything is fresh. Great choice of products. This location in Manhattan was a really big disappointment for me :( Most products, more expensive than in Brooklyn in the same supermarket. I ordered turkey.For 10,99 per pound. And provolone cheese. Today I want to make a sandwich. Cheese was old with a sour. I throw it in the garbage.. And the price for the Turkey was 13,99$ Butuc was for 1099 terrible quality. Far from fresh texture was slimy. I also bought bread for 1,99$ small piece. When I came to the register, I saw that the employee put price 2, 99$ .
