Was visiting Dallas and stopped in to pickup some treats for my Russian wife. Was very impressed by the selection of Russian products, especially wine and beer. Staff was extremely helpful and made several suggestions. Will definitely visit again.

Stopped by to get Russian candies and foods for a Russian friend, and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff-person was perfect; helpful without being bothersome. He helped us get a good selection of treats, and offered useful comments on the items we had already selected. Perfect!

Rude service. Expired food. Awful experience. I am not sure how these people manage to stay in business. They obviously do not care about retaining their customers. If you would like to visit a truly Russian store with the authentic rude customer service — this is the place to go! Appropriate business etiquette remains foreign here. All of the products are overpriced and most are old. As mentioned earlier and in previous reviews, pay close attention to the expiration dates! If anything looks shady, moldy, an off color — do not risk it, it’s probably gone bad. Overall, most everything that they sell can be be purchased at Whole Foods, Central Market, World Market, or Amazon(as a last resort). Of course, you can’t get an authentic Russian experience at those well-run entities. Most stores/restaurants in the post-Soviet countries stepped it up to meet the Western standards. This particular store, being in the US, is still FAR behind. If you are determined to visit a Russian store, try out the cuisine, or «miss home» — search again. There are other options! Oh, for all the English speakers, there’s not much English spoken at this place — it’s mostly Russian!

We dropped by to get some Russian and russian-style candy. While the selection is not extensive, I was pleasantly surprised how fresh everything was. Chocolate from Russian and Eastern Europe tends to reach deep South close to its expiration date, but not at this store. Every piece of candy we got was fresh and delicious. The owner was there in the store, very helpful and nice.

A very nice place to shop for European items that cannot be purchased at any American Store. You can find — Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, and other Northern and Eastern European Items…

This place is the Jimmy’s of North Dallas but Russian! The array of treats and things I’d never seen was astounding. D and I walked out touting several bottle of Baltika beer and lots o’ Russian chocolate. All were equally yummy. The prices are reasonable, the clientele is very Russian, so you may feel a touch of place if you don’t speak Russian but they’re very accomodating. It is tucked away and VERY hidden. Just look for the Dollar General behind the Kel’s Kitchen and Papa Murphys. Euro is located next door and isn’t labeled very well. Good luck in bringing home some treats for ze motherland!

Euro Deli Richardson and it’s sister Euro Deli Too in Plano are small in space but pack a great selection of distinctly Russian food items no other place has. If you’re American like me and always on the prowl for ethnic foods this is not a place to miss. Included is a huge selection of deli meats/sausages, produce, frozen items, and anything else you will need to create a Russian feast or just try something different. The owner is very nice and will accommodate your questions and will offer suggestions to the newbie. Also sandwiches can be made to order but there is no menu. The sky is limit!

Euro Deli sells expired food items and removes expiration dates from packaging to conceal this fact. I’m a big fan of Jutrzenka Mella Galaretka candy. Having purchased it a number of times in the past from reputable Polish stores in Dallas, I know what it’s supposed to taste and feel like when fresh. I found the apple flavor of Mella Galaretka at Euro Deli, and bought it excitedly along with a Baltika beer and some Russian rye bread. As I was taking the wrapper off the box of Mella Galaretka, I realized it seemed different. It was looser, the tear strip was a different color, and there was dust and small pieces of chocolate trapped between the wrapper and the box. I ignored this and finished opening the box. The chocolate was covered in a thin layer of white powder and didn’t look right. Still, I ate a piece. The jelly had solidified and the chocolate tasted stale. I turned the box over to check the expiration date, and there it was: the white rectangle where the expiration date is normally printed, carelessly cut out of the box with a knife. They removed only the top layer of the paperboard so that there wouldn’t be an obvious hole in the box, reshrinkwrapped it, and put it back on the shelf. Not surprisingly, the rye bread was also stale. I haven’t tried the beer yet, but it’s the only thing for which I have any hope left at this point. If you can’t read Russian, you’ll have a hard time identifying many of the items in this store. Almost everything is labeled exclusively in Russian, and the tags on the aisles only have prices on them. Last but not least, the employees are rude and inconsiderate – at least by American standards. I had one of them brush against me twice without saying a word while walking through the almost non-existent space between me and one of the aisles, and the cashier left me waiting three times to answer personal phone calls and engage in loud conversations in Russian with other customers and employees at the opposite end of the store. While some may argue that this is due to cultural differences, I only moved to the U.S. two years ago myself and it took me less than a week to learn manners.

This will be a short one — Euro Deli felt like home. I am from New Jersey(and before that, Russia), and it’s filled to the brim with Russians and their grocery stores. I was concerned that my new home, Dallas, wouldn’t have anything of the sort. Thanks to Unilocal,I found this place. This place is basically your run-of-the-mill Russian store. You get some not-so-fresh produce, some weird-looking cookies, and packaged goods from all sorts of former-Soviet countries. That, my friends, is what being at home is. To me, at least. Plus, there is nothing better/worse than stale sushki/.

Romanian Fanta Soda pop? Check Gyula sausages that remind me of grandmother? Check Best bread in Dallas? Check This is a Russian/Eastern European store that has amazing things that you want to buy and try simply based on the packaging. Belarussian mango cookies, frozen blintzes, wines from such exotic places as Azerbaijan and Moldova. It’s not super expensive, and the guy behind the cash register is friendly and talkative. I really love places like this because you can explore and try and discover things(who knew that red pepper based vegetable spread was so delicious as a mayonnaise replacement for sandwiches?) that would normally be out of reach in a place like Dallas. Try it, you’ll have fun!

Not many peeps speak much English in this place — it’s mostly Russian! It’s like Jimmy’s Food Store, only instead of Italian it’s all Russian. And instead of being near downtown Dallas it’s in Richardson – and WELL worth the drive. They offer Beluga caviar @ about $ 100 for an over-sized container that would normally be at least $ 200. Russian chocolates and treats abound. There is a deli counter with fish, but I have gravitated more towards the Muscat wines(about $ 10-$ 15 a bottle) and the best damn beer I’ve ever had: Baltika 9(bottled and brewed in St. Petersburg, RU). It’s like Mared Sous 10, only much creamier like it had been made with nitrogen(which it’s not) so there’s very little burn. Only that 9+% alcohol content… And they sell it for $ 1.99/ oversized bottle. The people there are friendly and will help you find what you’re looking for. Here’s a couple of things to try — get the jar of pickled tomatoes(fantastic), and some Salmon caviar($ 13). Take some rye bread, put butter on it, add caviar, and have a tomato with it. Then a swig of your favorite vodka. mmmm Also the Black Sea smoke Sprats are very good too. Substitute that for the caviar on the bread and butter. Add vodka, mmm.
